Bar Louie

Place gets busy because the food and drinks are good. This is a nice area. Plenty of lot parking. They have a nice curbside area for dining or after work drinks

Ugh. We will NEVER go there again.



We met up with friends after a movie on a Saturday evening. One of our party had called a reservation for a party of 20 on Monday, called back and confirmed it-twice-, then called earlier that day to put in our appetizer order. We arrived on time (one couple actually 15 minutes early), and were told our table wasn't ready yet. After waiting 20 minutes (standing in an aisle because they don't have a waiting area), we were told that they had given our table to another party and they hadn't finished their food yet. So they gave us two tables close to that area, and (sort of) close to each other. Unfortunately, three or four of our party still couldn't sit down because there wasn't enough space for everyone, so we had to switch off. When we tried to place our food order, we were told that the kitchen wasn't even taking orders because they were so backed up, but that they "might" be able to let us order in 30-45 minutes. (Meanwhile, they were still adding people to the line and seating them.) We finally were able to place our orders for their overpriced food, but the food arrived (after another loooong wait) before the appetizers! After our food was almost gone, we were told we could occupy our "reserved table" as the party they had given it to had just left. (They got their food not long before we did. The waitress was polite, but seemed disinterested. It took group collaboration to even get her attention to order drinks or get refills. Once ordered, it took 20 minutes for my husband to get his beer! On top of that, the music was too loud and the washrooms were not as clean as I would have hoped in what claims to be an upscale place. (Not that we could tell anyone, or that they'd care if we did.)



Do yourself a favor: save your time and money and pick a different location.
