"My party and I were looking forward to celebrating my brother and I's birthday here. We had a reservation and everything, BUT.. when we arrived, we waited about 10 minutes before anyone even came to greet us at the host stand. When we were sat, the waitress didn't take long to get to us (it wasn't that busy); however, she obviously had no interest in serving us... There was no 'Hi'; she didn't give us here name; all she did was say, 'what do you guys want to drink?' She was just rude. So of course, we left. We didn't want to be waited on by someone with such a nasty attitude.."

"Nice place and friendly staff. Ordered Calamari and pretzel bites. Took a long time to get and the calamari had freezer burn on more than a few pieces. Pretzels had been microwaved way too much Sauces were good."

"Where to begin... First I want to say that the staff had all the best intentions and services that they knew. This review is STRICLY a management review, or highlighting a lack thereof re: training. First - the hostess seemed absolutely strewn and wasn't at all thrilled to greet anyone at the door - make your customers feel welcome! (OK not a big deal - but it IS the first impression / interaction with staff) Next - female staff LOVED to just hang out and chit chat behind the bar with the bartender (not a big deal) but took 7 minutes to even ask me what I would like to drink. Same female staff member was asked to go handle a task - she cleaned up some trash, then immediately (without washing hands) grabbed 4 forks by the prongs and handed them to 2 elderly customers with their dessert. One staff member was washing down the bar with the fountain gun and I could see the runoff falling into the open liqour bottles that were located below, in the well. Next - my order comes out. Appetizer was calamari. It was cooked well, however for $15 I expected a little more than appropriate 1 cup of frozen/fried calamari (ok - we will chaulk that up as inflation and margins) But then the "Fish and Chips" for $20 Fish was absolutely overcooked (like burnt chicken) and flavorless. I grab the watered down malt vinegar that was provided and BOOM - no pour/drip stop on the bottle. I attempted to eat the, now soggy, Fish. But... I just couldn't and no point on sending it back. I politely mentioned to the Bartender, that he shouldn't put the vinegar back without a pour stop. He couldn't believe it was missing the top and also smelled foul. (Not sure WHAT was added to it) but my stomach didn't like it. The senior bartender immediately offered to take it off my bill. However, I politely said "I'm not worried about, just don't want anyone else to relive the vinegar fiasco" End of the day - sanitation and customer service is severely lacking from a professional standpoint. If you're going to charge mid-grade/ chain restaurant prices - the sanitation has to at least be a little better. This will probably read as if a Karen wrote it - but honest constructive criticism. Because I do love visiting Bar Louies when I travel. And I travel weekly. Good Luck!"

"Got take out and was not disappointed, the pretzel app tasted delicious and the hamburger cooked right. Price was reasonable and order was ready at the specified time."
