    Menus handed by hostess were covered with food grease. The waiter tried his best but service was slow and inconsistent. Appetizers were greasy. Blackened mahi sandwich was bland. Men’s restroom was absolutely disgusting. I’ve been in the restaurant in the past and the food was usually good and the service fairly decent. This latest visit was just the worst.

    One dish (pasta special) was terrible. Burger was decent. Both overpriced even by Las Olas standards. Server was barely attentive and even when we mentioned the one entree was not good there was no attempt to make it right.

    Thin flat omelette soggy from lousy tomatoes. It was supposed to come with fruit, but it was a salad. Server brought me a side of fruit since I questioned menu deets. It had four pieces of fruit. Toast ice cold and no butter on it. Had to ask for it. Only thing good was the side of bacon. While I’ve loved the Louis Bossi experience in the past, I’m done going there.
