    Always have a good experience when dining here. Tried something different again, and they did not disappoint. The Philly cheesesteak flatbread is definitely a winner.

    We live in Metuchen so super convenient. Food and service are very good, and they have a full bar and wine list so no need to lug bottles of wine with you. Great for special occasions and date night. We had our daughter's baby shower here and it was excellent. Family and friends raved about the food. Probably the best food in Metuchen.

    It was a very busy Sunday and happy I made reservations! We were seated a a nice cozy table in the back so we could have a nice view of the entire restaurant. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive throughout our meal. One special treat was a custom made appetizer of sautéed calamari the chef made especially for us upon our recommendation. It was delicious! As was the pork chops special we shared. The desert was exceptionally good and was a hard choice between all the others-many of which were made there! Highly recommend LouCas!
