Personally, I am not into these types of places. First of all, I don’t drink any alcohol due to medication, and when I partake in an occasional drink, I never did like wine. Third, I am an old farm boy who is country fied. However, my wife likes these, and my mother did not raise a fool. With that said, I found this facility quite nice with friendly service. The food was very good. The live band was good as well. All said and done, the place was packed, and the staff was great. It’s definitely a place to check out.

Delicious food and great service served up on a Monday evening. I enjoyed the jazzy vibe, and saw that they advertise live music on Wednesday evenings. If I am in town I would definitely enjoy that. Fish and chips were a nice treat with good quality Alaskan Cod and generous portions.

Recently enjoyed this lovely spot for sipping a glass of . I dislike the way most alcohol tastes and makes me feel, but I do enjoy a glass of red wine in a fine glass. Enjoyed the Peanut Butter burger in honor of a great Iowan . Definitely recommend joining the fed club at Louie’s!

My boyfriend and I had visited another restaurant with the same owners. The experience was rather disappointing. I reviewed their restaurant and was asked to give them another try. So we decided for our 2 year anniversary to try Louie’s. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Melody was bubbly and knowledgeable. We started with drinks and the artichoke dip. I ordered the Filet with shrimp and my boyfriend ordered the SCB. Apparently, the fries were incredible as well as his burger. My entire meal was flavorful and simply decadent. I couldn’t believe I could cut my filet with a butter knife. We also ordered the chocolate lava cake. It wasn’t what I was expecting but it was good. Our overall experience was outstanding. Melody was one of the best servers I’ve encountered. This is definitely going to be a favorite in our family. We look forward to bringing family here. If you haven’t been here you should, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you all for making our anniversary so remarkable and savory. I only wish I had taken some photos.

Relaxing atmosphere, meets delicious food with excellent service! You will not be disappointed with anything on the menu. This little cafe will surprise you with their large selection of wine and interesting menu! John was out server, he was kind, a treat to chat with and had perfect table service 10/10. They also have a great happy hour from 3-6! Bravo Louie’s Wine Dive!

Had the spicy shrimp diablo. The flavor was amazing. Definitely had some spice. Haven’t stopped craving it since I have had it. That was my first time there and although I would love to try their other items, I just wouldn’t be able to go there and not have that again. All the staff there were so kind to us, and each other.

Food was top notch. Service was nice when they were there but mostly absent. Waited a long time for the check and ended up having to go inside to try and find someone. Inside ambiance was dark and uninviting. Patio was nice but we had more than a few flies interrupt our meal.
