Great service and quality of food. Only complaint was the breadsticks were hollow! I also had the crab cake which was delicious but needed more roumalade sauce. And the Lou Lou pizza was amazing! Overall good experience and I would go back minus the breadsticks.

The service one working our table to serve and hopefully getting extra "tip" for good service and food should not respond a question about a seafood dish with the answer, "I do to like seafood" it went on and on...... We never got an idea of what might be a winner or ever appetizing. The service was slow, food so-so at best. My hope is that more restaurants in ST Matthews area will take pride in their establishments and make dining a pleasure, wonderful food, good service and leave us with the desire to return. This evening left us with.... Where else?

Traveling from out of state, this was my second time to enjoy Lou Lou Food + Drink - St Matthews. Everything was great: Our table was ready; our waiter was attentive, helpful, and fun; and the food was great. We really enjoyed the Hot Brown and am so glad it was recommended. I'm sure we will visit again, on our next time in the Louisville area.

The food and atmosphere was exceptional, but the service could have been better. We were never asked if we wanted a second drink and were unable to get our server’s attention until the meal was over. We would have spent more money on drinks had our server bothered to check in on us.

Service was very good and so was the food. Unfortunately, the lack of acoustics caused the server to misunderstand my order and omitted the chicken which I wanted. It wasn't the end of the world, but he admitted he couldn't hear my request.
