I love this place! It is a great spot for date night, or even a girls' night out! I got their salmon, and it was delicious. Everything seemed to be cooked to perfection and our server was super accommodating! read more

Jacob and Evan did a great job for us with brunch. The Mrs. and I both went with the Benedict and I substituted smoked salmon and neither of us regretted our choice We went at around Noon on the Sunday of Penn Relays. They were slowing down at the time which allowed us to get a quiet corner in a long booth. Would stop by again for sure the next time we are in the area. read more

Went to Louie Louie for an early dinner after watching my niece run in the Penn Relays. Had a lovely time sitting in a pretty blue crescent shaped booth, away from the bar so we could easily hear each other speak. Service by Kate was impeccable, attentive and not intrusive, friendly and not obsequious. I had just come from Goldie's where I ingested a tehina shake and shwarma spiced fries so wasn't super hungry, but that didn't stop me from ordering two sides made into a meal: - side of salmon, 5/5, I don't usually enjoy eating the skin on the salmon but this one was perfectly crispy and so tasty! - side of broccolini, 5/5, tender and crisp at the same time, deliciousness of flavors This combo really was the perfect meal to offset all those fries I had just had! Everyone enjoyed their meals including: - cheese platter - nicoise salad - truffle fries - bacon wrapped dates - seafood salad (had three very large shrimp, real crabmeat) Highly recommend Louie Louie. read more

Louie Louie feels like a slice of old Paris tucked into a modern Philadelphia setting -- polished, lively, and full of charm. The food was outstanding. The Old Fashioneds were spot on, and the appetizers were excellent -- flavorful, well-executed, and a strong start to the meal. Service had a few minor hiccups. Our entrées arrived before the wine and while we were still enjoying the appetizers, which disrupted the pacing a bit. That said, nothing major - and the manager stepped in and made it right promptly. Overall, a beautiful space with impressive food and a team that clearly cares about the guest experience. The accessible rest room is upstairs read more

Stopped in on a trip to Philly as my friend enjoys brunch here. I perched at the bar which was beautiful and eye catching when you walk in. They have a nice array of cocktails to choose from and I loved that they were playing 70s/80s music. Chatted up the bartenders who were both sweethearts. I ordered the burger which could have used extra seasoning and I was a bit surprised to see a two dollar charge when I asked for red onions on my burger (normally LTO is free ) but overall enjoyed the experience. read more

Louie Louie - 8 oz Burger* - New American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My wife was awarded a gift card to any fearless group restaurant she chose. This was the last one on our list. We love all the others. White dog is of course my favorite. Louie Louie came in a close second for me and 3rd for her. Her heart belongs to Rosalie. The food was spectacular. Lots of seafood which really gets my juices flowing. I started off with soup since it was 0 degrees outside. Which was delightful and warm! My wife got bacon wrapped dates. I tried a small one though give my heart attack back in July bacon is the last thing I should consume. It was the smallest date I swear. I got the salmon with a side of charred broccolini? Isn't that what they call fancy broccoli? I love broccoli. When I was young, I called them little trees and I would go to the Ponderosa steakhouse buffet and just blew it up on little trees, cheese and ham cubes covered in French dressing. My wife got the Alaskan halibut. She asked me where halibut comes from. I said there's probably someone in Alaska. They gave us a free dessert because they forgot my wife's second drink, which was really cool. Blood orange sorbet that was delicious. I got the purple mock tail, which reminded me of prince. It had chai coffee and cinnamon, and it was absolutely delicious. We got cappuccino and tea afterwards. My only real qualm with this place and the reason I cannot give it five stars is it was cold. It's attached to a hotel and I guess with those wide doors entering directly into the restaurant there's almost no way to stop the breeze coming in. I was pretty cold the entire time. I would love to come here again..... in the spring. read more

Good location - in the lobby of a Hilton Hotel Like most of the others in the restaurant, we made a reservation at Louie Louie before attending a show at Penn Arts across the street. The room is bright and comfortable, even when every table is occupied. The drinks and food is adequate, priced with a hotel premium. There is a 3% charge if you pay with a credit card. The service can be overwhelmed when the restaurant is crowded. read more

For the price they charge, this was a disappointing experience unfortunately. The restaurant had good ambience and very delightful decors. We had high hopes. However, we were not welcomed or served warmly. The whole time we were dining, we were rushed even though there were plenty of tables around. Food lacked thoughtfulness and felt very much a rip off. We ordered a salad and a seafood Louie. The chicken with the salad was dry and the salad lacked flavor with only some crumbs of blue cheese and walnuts. The seafood Louie only had 3 shrimps and 90% cabbages for $35 (Costco sells 25 shrimps for only $20). This might be a place for a little wine and pairing but not quite for a dinner place. read more

I had brunch at Louie Louis this past Saturday when I was in Philly for the day. It's a French bistro in University City, so it's the perfect location for brunch if you're doing anything on campus. I was heading to the contemporary art museum just around the corner. The restaurant is beautiful - South of France/Mediterranean/retro vibes. The tables are beautiful, the mirrors are beautiful, the color palette is beautiful, etc. I had a glass of sparkling wine and their Tuna Niçoise Salad (seared tuna, haricots verts, egg, potatoes, avocado, roasted tomatoes, dijon dressing). The salad was pretty good - not a classic Niçoise, but pretty delicious. I think the dressing was a little too creamy, and I found it incredibly strange that they put 20+ unpitted olives on the salad since you can't eat an olive with a bite of salad if there's a pit in! There were two pitted olives among the others, so I couldn't decided if the pitted olives were a mistake or if the unpitted ones were. I decided to get a dessert and went with the cheese plate. It was a good cheese plate, but I'd say it's too much for one person - better as a shared dessert. The service was friendly but a little distracted (I had to ask someone who I knew was not my waitress to bring me my check, because my waitress never came back after I asked her if I could have my check); she was lovely - I'm sure she just forgot! Overall, it was a nice brunch, but a little style over substance for me maybe! But if you're in the area, it's definitely a very Instagrammable brunch! And has a delicious menu to boot. If you're into French and pretty, this might be the spot for you! read more

Great service and loved the food! The french toast was delicious and I loved the combination of peaches and raspberry!

Grabbed brunch here before leaving Philly and was very impressed. It's located just off of the lobby of a hotel, but the inside is very open and ambiance is great. I had the turkey BLT which was surprisingly better than expected. It seemed basic but the waitress recommended and it was a really good sandwich. The fries were good but could've been crispier. I also had the strawberry spritz, which is a non alcoholic drink and it was very refreshing. read more

Good food and excellent service. We enjoyed steak and a side salad with a lovely, tangy vinaigrette. For dessert, the crème brûle was one of the best I've ever had! read more

My husband & I recently had dinner here. Bar looked super cute. Decor was very pretty. The restaurant was fairly empty yet they seated us behind the waiters station so all night I heard the clanking of plates, glassware & utensils. The food - for an app we ordered the brioche bread which was stale. It was so bad & I typically love me bread :) My husband liked his chicken & while I enjoyed the burger, once again the bread on my burger was borderline stale. We had a few drinks which were fine. Our waitress was ok but talked very quiet. Not overly friendly. Made no recommendations, told us no specials (perhaps they don't have specials). For the price of this restaurant plus the 3% add for using credit cards (cannot stand this!) we weren't overly impressed & most likely won't be back. Maybe just a quick drink at the bar next time. read more

Stopped by Louie Louie for a Saturday midday snack, though I have walked by it many many times. The vibe is upscale, "new American" style French-inspired food. We knew we didn't want to try any of the mains, and so ordered the house-made Brioche Bread and Pomme Frites (french fries, essentially) as a snack. The brioche bread was actually sooo good - definitely a top-20 bread. Soft and flakey, topped with light herbs, and served with a whipped butter, it was the kind of bite that keeps you going back. The fries were not bad, pretty crispy with a good dusting of parmesan. Sitting outside on their patio / sidewalk dining was really nice in the warm spring weather. However, I wouldn't bring anyone to Louie Louie specifically for a meal out because they have limited vegetarian main dish options and because the food is a little boring and predictable overall. read more

Kicked off my staycation with a lovely brunch with my travel friends. First time for me, but many of the girls had dined here previously so I was excited to try for my first time! Sat at the bar while I waited for my group; the bar area is nice if you're rolling solo or if you want to grab drinks. Service wasn't bad, drinks did come out slow but there was a lot of us. For food, I tried the oysters, tuna tartare and vegan burger. The oysters were so good we ordered another round of those! FYI I am a rookie Tuna tartare girlie--Been dippling and dabbing and was excited to give this a try. I'd say the flavors were on point, but I'm not sure I'd order again as it took me a while to warm up to the texture of the tuna--Personal preference but I'd suggest trying it if interested. The vegan burger was a bit messy as the bun was falling apart but it had a really delicious onion jam on it, and I got mines with cooper sharp cheese which completely changed the game--Yummy! Can't go wrong with a glass of rose and to end of our afternoon we tried the crème brûlée which was light and had the perfect sugary coating. Definitely looking forward to returning for dinner soon read more

Always great and an experience you can count on, every time, wether it's brunch, lunch or dinner. Service is extraordinary while making you feel you have whatever time you need. This one was easy as we both were on the lobster Benedict train. Perfect jammy eggs on considerable amounts of lobster! This wasn't a few scraps, this was enough lobster you needed to cut each bite! Always clean, and relatively quiet - love the couches and chairs in the lounge areas. read more

2 thumbs up from this crew. Chicken salad sandwich, pear and endive salad (with salmon as our waiter suggested), and the burger (which was Heaven) - all great. Isaac, our waiter, was fantastic and very hospitable. We came on a Friday afternoon in the summer and it wasn't crowded at all. We'll be back! read more

What a cute place! My family and I dined here for brunch and enjoyed our time. We had a mix of so many things from Benedicts to truffle fries to drinks..it was great! My favorites were the ube espresso martini (the absolute PERFECT dessert drink) and the hot toddy. We also got the espresso tower and the server was kind enough to let us do a mix of a few different flavors. The food was good (pretty standard and nothing out of the ordinary) but the drinks were phenomenal. I would go back just for that ube espresso martini again! read more

Cute French-American bistro, with a good ambiance, that easily accommodates a larger group. I came with a group of 6. If youre looking for IG worthy group selfies, I recommend sitting in the large booths at the end of the restaurant closest to the kitchen. I happen to not be super hungry that day and opted for the savoury & comforting French onion soup (comparable in taste to the one at Parc) and truffle frites (a table fan favorite), which was amazing and filling. The table also ordered the tuna tartare (which was surpringly a large portion compared to other establishments) and a warm, fluffy housemade brioche. The Mussels and ribeye were okay tasting. Portions are sizable, leaving everyone full, however the service was nothing to write home about. Louie Louie is ideal for either a casual date night or catch up with friends. read more

After three different visits, since we stayed at the hotel multiple times. The food was worth getting, with a decent selection and changing menu. The burger was probably my favorite. Also enjoyed the steak. The Lancaster stout was fantastic with the red meat. The vibes are cozy and a little classy. Really like the design. The service was really what kinda of let us down. Multiple times I found myself looking around for the waiters. Them not paying attention, or even just talking in the corner. Once they did see us were super helpful and great. Just need to be more attentive. read more

The decor and restaurant style is beautiful. Great for dates and groups. Inside and outside seating. Service is okay. Gets crowded so a wait is understandable.

The drinks and other food was good. read more

Fantastic food, service and ambiance! Went for brunch recently and had a wonderful experience. Server Matias was beyond excellent and overdelivered on every front. First off I was beyond thrilled with their regular Lavazza coffee, rich and hot, served with warmed milk which is a rarity. Had the french onion soup which was very good, not overly salty like most. Then came the huge Crab Louie Salad which was filled with jumbo lump crab, way more than expected. Also had the Burrata and tomato salad which came with huge cherries. So good! Brioche rolls and butter were also delicious. Friend had the quiche lorraine which was very custardy. She thought it could have had a bit more kick with a bit more cheese/ham but she enjoyed it. We ended with white cosmo cocktails which had a lovely frozen cranberry rose floating on top. So good! Booth seating was very comfortable and music was great when we could hear it. Would like to return to try the Lobster Benedict and more. In terms of pricing, you get what you pay for. The portions are large (enough for 2 meals) and the food quality is high. Food prices have also increased a lot for restaurants and people don't get it. Overall one of the best brunch experiences I've had in a long time! read more

We came here for dinner after graduation and had a wonderful time overall! We had a reservation and were seated outside on a warm evening -- such a lovely atmosphere with string lights and great music in the background. I ordered the espresso martini flight, which was absolutely incredible -- smooth, rich, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend sharing it with friends! The food was fresh and perfectly cooked, and dessert was a total standout -- we tried the Gâteau au Chocolat, which was decadent without being too heavy. Service was friendly, though it slowed down a little once the dinner rush picked up, but everyone was kind and accommodating. I've been to Louie Louie several times before, and they always deliver a great experience. The ambiance is chic yet comfortable, perfect for both celebrations and casual dinners. They also have a fantastic happy hour and a solid lunch/dinner menu that keeps me coming back. Minor note -- the outdoor seating can get a bit warm on humid nights, but that's easily overlooked given the quality and vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a fun, classy spot in Philly! read more

Was in the area and finally got around to dining here. Always heard good things and the menu was appealing. We had such a lovely lunch! Hubby enjoyed his carrot bisque. We both loved the bacon wrapped dates- instead of being stuffed with blue cheese, they sat atop a decadent bleu cheese sauce. Sooo good. Our sandwiches and chips were hearty and delicious (roast chicken and jambon beurre). Not a cheap lunch, but the space is gorgeous and our server was sweet. read more

Large restaurant. Went for lunch; the service was just ok. We wanted drink refills and had to really flag down our waiter to get refills-- usually when the drink is almost gone; the waiters are quick to refill (when the cocktails are like $15/piece). The food was good, nothing super amazing. Would go back. Can be quite loud inside due to the size. read more

On Christmas Eve morning I came here with my husband, my cousin and her family. This restaurant was empty because there's no college kids due to the holiday. There were probably 4 more tables occupied after our arrival at 10. We arrived early so we waited at the hotel lobby connected to the restaurant. The restaurant has a nice display of liquor at the bar. It has a Parisian vibe in it to give an upscale look. Cappuccino was really good. Destiny, our waitress was awesome. She was very patient with the toddlers. She was also attentive and made sure that we were satisfied with the food. Wagyu Beef carpaccio was beautifully plated. Paper-thin sliced beef was neatly arranged on the plate. Didn't taste like raw meat at all, very tender. Cheese board: Destiny explained the kind of cheese on the plate. It had 3 different kinds of cheese with honey, cranberry jelly, and toasted bread. Great pairing of cheese. Omelette with wild mushrooms and cheese: I substituted fries with salad. Generous amount of fresh mushrooms. Pistachio panna cotta with cherry compote topped with dried orange slice : gorgeous presentation. The panna cotta itself wasn't very sweet, the sweetness came from the compote. Highly recommend. read more

This Parisian style restaurant is stylistically appealing. The black and white floors, the subway tiled walls with faux wear and tear, the gorgeous bar and overall decor is beautifully made to carry the French cafe vibe. With students away on break the vibe is muted, not sure even full, it quite captures the nuance of Parc. The French onion soup recalls its Center City sister and is a rich, decadent crock of onion, cheese and bread. The mussels are a good serving and tasty that are enjoyable but not remarkable. They come with the cliche cone of well salted fries but in order to have a "mop" for the broth you need to order the separate brioche bread offering, and brioche is not the same as a good baguette style. Flat iron sliced steak is the offering on the expected steak frittes. Good. The halibut was a hit and a healthy steak filet came out looking gorgeous. There is a cocktail list that is quite adventurous with lots of flavor profiles. Attached to the Inn at Penn this mid block location is neatly tucked into the heart of UPenn campus. read more
