Great service and quality of food. Only complaint was the breadsticks were hollow! I also had the crab cake which was delicious but needed more roumalade sauce. And the Lou Lou pizza was amazing! Overall good experience and I would go back minus the breadsticks.Is this helpful?

The service one working our table to serve and hopefully getting extra "tip" for good service and food should not respond a question about a seafood dish with the answer, "I do to like seafood" it went on and on...... We never got an idea of what might be a winner or ever appetizing. The service was slow, food so-so at best. My hope is that more restaurants in ST Matthews area will take pride in their establishments and make dining a pleasure, wonderful food, good service and leave us with the desire to return. This evening left us with.... Where else?Is this helpful?

Traveling from out of state, this was my second time to enjoy Lou Lou Food + Drink - St Matthews. Everything was great: Our table was ready; our waiter was attentive, helpful, and fun; and the food was great. We really enjoyed the Hot Brown and am so glad it was recommended. I'm sure we will visit again, on our next time in the Louisville area.Is this helpful?

The food and atmosphere was exceptional, but the service could have been better. We were never asked if we wanted a second drink and were unable to get our server’s attention until the meal was over. We would have spent more money on drinks had our server bothered to check in on us.Is this helpful?

It was Fat Tuesday so that was the reason the high noise level but we knew that going. Great atmosphere. Been there many other times and the noise level is fine.Is this helpful?
