Review Summary

Lou's Restaurant is frequently described as a stylish and cozy destination in the West Island, celebrated by many for its flavorful signature dishes like the pasta Genovese, tuna carpaccio, and bread pudding. While numerous guests highlight the fantastic atmosphere, unique cocktail menu, and exceptionally friendly service provided by specific staff members, others report inconsistent experiences. Frequent mentions of loud noise levels, cramped seating, and long wait times for food occasionally overshadow the dining experience. Furthermore, while many patrons find the service top-tier and welcoming, some visitors have encountered issues with slow response times, perceived pressure to vacate tables, or inconsistent food portions, leading to a divide in overall satisfaction among the clientele.

Just had a superb meal at Lou's. Service was excellent. Thank you Kellie. Hamburger was delicious as were the fries. Sea Bass out of this world & pasta genovese was also delicious. Strawberry shortcake was to die for. As far as we are concerned, for a startup Restaurant it is definitely a place to go for a nice evening out. We will definately be back.Thank you.

We have wanted to try Lou's out since they opened several months ago but were never able to snag a reservation (probably because we tried to late...obviously) but lady luck finally called in the new year & we got a table (bar only) at the beginning of January 2024. Although there are a number of restaurants in the Pointe Claire Village, Lou's has created both an elegant yet casual ambiance with a mixed Italian/American-style cuisine. After sitting us at the bar & placing our order, a table cleared & we asked to move to it which they happily agreed to...that's appreciated as many restaurants don't want to hassle with moving patrons to new tables. The menu is not extensive but I would say that all types of eaters can find at least one thing on the menu to enjoy. For our meal, we started with the Parker Rolls (good...but the portion was a bit on the small side) & Crab Cake (very good, excellent sauce but a bit on the pricey side for a single cake)...for our main we had the Pasta Genovese (excellent), Eggplant Parmigiana (it seems they fried the eggplant slices to be crispy before being baked...was excellent...highly recommend it) & a side of Creamed Greens (sounds weird, I know, but was actually quite good). When moving from the bar to the table there was an issue with timing of the main meal being delivered. Due to the delay, the manager complimented us with a tasty Strawberry Cookie dessert & a glass of Amara. Both of which were greatly appreciated & enjoyed as well. Service was very good & attentive & we never felt wanting. Although note that there is (currently) a draft due to a faulty door at the back that affects the left side of the restaurant (as you enter). It wasn't terrible but it was noticeable...just ask to sit on the right side if you can. The restaurant is very busy so reservations are highly recommended...at least several days in advance. Enjoy!

My husband & I really enjoyed our dining experience at Lou's in Pointe-Claire. The service was excellent & the lighting decor is warm... very nice atmosphere. A little on the chilly side due to the door opening right into the dining area. The beef tartare was nice, as was our pasta dish & striploin. The ONE thing this restaurant really needs to improve is dessert. Most diners expect more than one option, & if there's only one option, it's needs to be incredible. We had a basic chocolate cake (with sprinkles!), which fell flat for us. If that improves, it would be 5 stars for us.

We were super excited for this resto to open. Everything was good. The food was tasty but didn't blow my mind. The decor of the restaurant was very nice. We went at 8pm & at 9pm the place got super loud & packed. It was more of a super club feel. We finished our food quickly & left because it wasn't the scene we were looking for.

I won't be going back. Was incredibly excited for it to open up, as I live in the area. Went tonight with a friend & we were completely rushed out the door. I wasn't even close to finishing my drink when the waitress came over to let us know we'd need to leave our table for future reservations. There was no one even waiting at the door. As we paid our bill, she reminded us again we'd need to vacate our table for future resos, despite the fact we were sitting next to an empty table. As we walked out there was still no one at the door. Great food & nice decor but terrible service that makes you feel unwelcome. Too bad as the village needed a new spot - I won't be going back there again with that horrible service.
