Absolutely stunning place. The ambience was incredible, drinks were creative, and food was outstanding. The staff was also very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable of the menu. It did get a bit noisy at times but overall experience was 11/10. I would go back and eat the exact same meal- it was that good.

12/10! LOUIX LOUIS is a true gem! The food was excellent, and the chic ambiance made the whole dining experience feel so special. The drinks are absolutely amazing, but the highlight for me was their signature cocktail, Pink in the City 🙌🏻 it’s absolutely to die for! The King’s Cake Slice is totally worth it. Perfect spot for a night out. Mariam who served us was amazing. Highly recommend!

My parents and I had a wonderful dinner outing after my Dad had a conference nearby! Probably one of my favourite spots in the Financial District—hidden away in an office building which was a little difficult to navigate but found our way. I tried the PB Espresso and the Grilled Rigatoni Alla Zozzona, which was absolutely delicious. The dish was full of flavor, and the sausages paired perfectly with the creamy rosé sauce. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back!
