Lou's is the perfect place for any occasion, whether that be happy hour with friends, watching the game, family dinners, or special occasions! Designed by renowned architectural firm Douglas Fredrikson Architects, Lou’s dining room gives off a cool-clean, stone-and-steel vibe paired with a wonderful indoor-outdoor feel when the massive garage-style sliding doors are opened to a rich green lawn and golf course.

    Excellent patio service from Jordan. Ceviche was delicious and almost dinner sized as an appetizer. We've been many times and previously ignored the pizza section which was a mistake! The mushroom pizza had the best crispy crust, cheese combo and plenty of mushrooms. Easily fed two of us w take home boxes as well. We'll come back again, thanks Jordan. :)

    A lot of families so a bit noisy. Can’t parents discipline their own kids at dinner? Food is good and the views are stunning.

    We love coming to Lou's for the great outdoor space and family friendly environment and we always have a great time. The service can be a bit slow, so be ready to order when they come to your table!

    We have reserved at Lou’s in the past for the exceptional outdoor views. We reserved an outdoor table for eight this time and we stuck in a corner with no view at all. We bragged to our out of town guests about how beautiful it would be and were super disappointed.

    Enjoyed a nice dinner with friends and their children. Celebrated a birthday and enjoyed the patio with nice weather. Servers were pleasant and food came quickly. Highly recommend for a casual dinner or lunch. Very child friendly.
