Dined solo at the bar, service as friendly as can be, rib eye cooked to perfection, mouthwatering delicious, and the chocolate mousse was a delightful dessert. The Tawny port flight was AMAZING, thanks Jackie! My favorite was the 40 yr. Fueled and ready to shred

All in all, very friendly staff, food was great. The kitchen also feeds a pub so there was a fairly long wait time for main dishes, but apps came fast. The quality of the food made it all ok, and the waitress was impressive not having to write a single thing down for a table of 4. Not a large place but cute, has a patio on the main strip of town.

I stayed at a hotel and dined at their exceptional Restaurant. The atmosphere is really good—clean, spacious, and with a vast selection of drinks. Starting with a creamy and delicious prawn dish, followed by delightful pasta and a great-tasting lobster tail, although the portions on the lobster were a bit small. Justine, our server, was incredibly friendly. The service was impressively fast. I definitely plan on returning.

We had an amazing dinner, everything we ordered was delicious. The service outstanding, the staff was super friendly and nice. So helpful as they gave us plenty of recommendations about Nelson. Would definitely come back! The mushroom risotto was so good!

Loved this place! Had an amazing server, food was great (took a little while cause they didn’t have many steak chefs on hand) but tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend!

Went to Louie’s Steakhouse for the first time and had a wonderful dinner. What a great first experience! Our server, Robyn was fantastic. She was very attentive and she was great at anticipating our needs. The crisps they bring out during happy hour are some of the best my husband and I have ever had (made in house). I ordered the ribeye with Oscar that came with mashed (garlic) potatoes and a nice variety of veggies. My husband had the filet mignon with Oscar and in his words, “tastes like butter”! We will definitely be back! Thank you for the lovely evening!

I have never been to any restaurant in the area that could cook a steak properly the first time. I was a little worried when I saw the ribeye was on the thinner side. However, my concerns were quickly thrown away as this steak was a perfect medium rare. Our waitress, Alicia (I am sorry if I spelled it wrong), was very personable, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys her work there. She was knowledgeable about the menu, and the one thing she was unsure about, she had no problem going to ask someone else. We ordered multiple courses, with the intention of having left overs to bring home. The food quality was consistent across all 6 dishes ordered, and we were also given a complimentary bowl of "happy hour potato chips" before we even ordered. The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean, the courses were spaced out so the table wasn't cluttered with dishes, and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend!

Haven't had food this good in months maybe even years down in the states. Have had problems with cheap and expensive restaurants every time I dine out. Here two nights in a row were perfect and went above our expectations. 3 meals both nights, perfect quality, steak was done to our request, amazing taste, one of the best steaks I've ever had. Mashed potatoes, even though it's a simple dish, were amazing, also some of the best I've ever had easily topping all other places. Servers and who I suspect to be a manager or maybe even the owner were awesome, very friendly, didn't miss a single thing at all both nights. I'm not usually up for talking while eating, but both nights we had great conversations. Overall everything was amazing, not a single complaint, props to the small town steakhouse! Was not expecting such amazing service and food when we can't even get a decent meal in our big city!
