My daughter and I went for dinner the other night. After receiving our menus, we waited close to half an hour until we flagged someone down to take our order.
We ordered calamari for an appetizer. I order the salmon which came with potatoes and asparagus. The salmon was okay, and he asparagus were cooked to death.My daughter ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The sandwich was definitely left on the grill because it was overdone. Then I had to try the s’mores martini for dessert. That was the best part of the meal. We probably won’t be rushing back to this place. I understand that the restaurant had just been sold, so perhaps that has something to do with the quality of the food and/or the service.

Great vibe and our server was attentive, and super friendly. Great place to eat on a Sunday afternoon. Beer Battered Fish Sandwich was great and so was the chicken nachos. Everything was pretty filling.

My husband and I went there for happy hour yesterday (Friday). I really like that they have a wide range of choices for happy hour which is priced from $9 – $11. I like, too, that all the beers are on happy hour, not just a select few beers and that they have a variety of wines to choose from. (Domestic beer = $6, Craft = $7 and wines = $9). Service there is always great. We had Barry as our server, and he was friendly and took really good care of us. I’d highly recommend this place and will definitely go back.

My friends and I had a pleasant experience recently. We dropped in for a Sunday lunch before a movie. It wasn’t too busy, and we sat promptly and requested the patio. Our server, Ricardo, was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The menu is extensive, so there are plenty of options for anyone’s cravings.
A few favorites during lunch
– Loaded Tots
– Fried Cheese Curds
– The flatbreads
– I had the Grilled Chicken Club, which was delicious and filling. The fries were perfectly fried, too.
– Draft drinks at a discount for St. Patty’s Day weekend
The atmosphere was relaxing and filled with good vibes. As we started eating, a Live DJ showed up on the patio, filling the air with music until the afternoon. There’s also a big bar where you can chill and watch sports over a drink or meal.
This place is also an excellent spot for brunch and Happy Hours! The happy hour times start at 3 pm to 6 pm, then the late night happy hour begins at 10 pm until close.
I hope to come back for more good food and service. Thanks, Bar Louie.

Large open bar and open dining room. Good TV options for sports fans, but it doesn’t force everyone to partake. Pleasantly, roomy. The tables are not all squished together. Good options for groups or couples. Drinks were good, and the food was slightly better than usual bar grub. Not bad, just not great. Overall, a good experience and would go back.

Great happy hour! The food was pretty good…the service was excellent. There were so many staff rounding it was really refreshing. They were showing preseason football. The place was packed and the vibes were good, but the service didn’t suffer

My girlfriend and I stopped in before our appointment. Izzy was our bartender and he was amazing. Very nice with a customer service forward mentality, very funny, and very present during our experience. Ive been experiencing some bad customer service lately and with just an ounce of his flair, he turned me into a regular. Thank you, Izzy. What comes naturally for someone like you should be taught in bars and restaurants everywhere. You totally made my day and ill be back again thanks to you.
The only criticism I have is the Calamari needs some attention. No way it is fresh. Other than that, we had an amazing time.

This place has rapidly gone downhill since its recent sale and new management. They ended the relationship with InKind, and cancelled their incredible $15 lunch combo. I understand those were probably losing them money… but then both the service, portion sizes, and quality have taken a hit.
Hopefully they can recover, or this place won’t last much longer as there are so many food options at the District.

We enjoyed our food here. It was worth the price, but nothing to rave about. The service was a bit slow but they were kind. It was a good place to kill some time while we waited on our movie time, but not sure it would be a sole destination.
