No Disappointments
My friends and I frequent Bar Louie. It’s a large, modern-looking bar with generous seating, great food, and greater drinks. It’s a mixed crowd both ethnically and generationally. For entertainment purposes, there is a pool table and there’s often a live band playing. The food selection is one of the best I’ve seen at a bar of its type and I haven’t been disappointed yet. The food ranges from share-worthy appetizers to a full course dinner. Overall, it’s a winner.

Multi-Sensory
My husband and I went to Coopers Hawk for our anniversary and found it to be a multi-sensory experience. The wine tasting provided for a great conversation in addition to the multiple selections of delicious wine available. At Coopers Hawk the wine is made on site and you can view the process. It was great! The atmosphere was one that you could enjoy with friends or on a date. Low lighting and comfy seating makes for a good time. My food was exceptionally tasty and plentiful, my husband also had many compliments to the chef. I am anxiously looking forward to going back.

I Wanted Everything
I made a reservation and when we arrived, we were seated immediately once I gave our name even though the restaurant was full that evening. Gorgeous surroundings and the seating was very comfortable. The croissants on the table as the house bread was delicious and buttery! Stay away you low-carbers, you’ll be hooked. Our wait staff (more than one) was very attentive and knowledagable of the menu selections. My filet mignon was a little dry so I ended up eating most of my husbands meal. He ordered the carribbean shrimp dish with rice pilaf; it was delicious. Our appetizer was delicious as well and pretty much filled me up before receiving our actual meal. I am planning to go again and try some of the other items on the menu. Oh yeah, the chocolate cake was ABSOLUTELY DELISH!
