    From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. What truly made the night unforgettable was the food and the incredible service we received from Magdalene. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and flavors that hit hard in the best way. Honestly, one of the best meals I've had in a long time. And then there's Magdalene, what an absolute gem. She was attentive without being overbearing, knew the menu inside out, and made us feel like VIPs the entire time. Super friendly, professional, and just had this calm, confident energy that elevated the whole evening. If you're looking for a spot that delivers both in the kitchen and at the table, this place is it. We'll definitely be back and we'll be asking for Magdalene again.

    I haven't been to Louie's in YEARS. I'm surprised I didn't popped a review in earlier because I know I went during my early Elite days. The last time I went was actually for a business meeting. It impressed our potential clients at the time but I have heard mixed reviews since. That's why when friends suggested here for Long Island Restaurant week I jumped at the chance to go back. Louie's is a staple in Port Washington. Being right by the water it's such a great spot. Metered parking is available and there is parking by the docks. Summer gets crazy here, for obvious reasons, so you will want to plan accordingly in the future. Their restaurant week menu was LIT. Almost too many options to choose from. For some reason, I locked eyes with the BLT Wedge Salad. Not my usual style but I have to say, it was quite delish. You can definitely taste the applewood smoked bacon and a really good Gorgonzola was used in the making of this salad. Next course was the Shrimp Wendy. Six medium sized shrimp sat on a bed of crispy green beans. To dress the dish there was a creamy Dijon mustard sauce. Super delish and light. After our apps (apps also included warmed up bread and eggplant/zucchini chips). Then dessert - a classic crème brûlée. Simple yet tasty. We added a glass of wine to our meal for another $3. The Pinot noir that was featured was nice and crisp. The old fashioned that I also had prior too got sweeter as I sipped it. It was a very well made drink. Shout out to Milton and the manager for being so wonderful to us and also letting us just chill. After this last visit, I'm hoping it won't take me as long to get back to Louie's. Thanks for a lovely evening and for closing out Restaurant week with a bang!

    Shrimp Tacos

    2024's Long Island Restaurant week brought us to Louie's on 2/4. A party of four, reservations were made via OpenTable. Upon arrival they were nice enough to seat me without the full party, I just happened to arrive first. Let's start with menu options. Louis's by far offered the most menu options for restaurant week participation that I have ever seen. There were multiple options to choose from for every course and they offered a glass a wine with your entrée for just $3. I went with the shrimp tacos as my app and additionally I ordered the lobster shrimp bisque. Tacos were good and larger than one might expect, which was nice. The bisque was just ok, hardly no seafood in it at all. A couple of the other apps at the table were fried calamari, crispy eggplant & zucchini chips and a wedge salad. For entrée's I ordered the whole branzino and my dinning companions ordered two marinated skirt steaks and the shrimp wendy. Additionally on the table was a side of seafood Mac n cheese, that we swapped for the mash potatoes. The food was delish but between the bread, cocktails, appetizers and wine we were all already full. Collectively we decided to wrap up our food to-go and sample our desserts. We each went with either the chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. Both were light and refreshing but again we were too full to finish it. Overall Louie's left me totally impressed. I'm looking forward to coming across the bridge for my return visit, especially in the summer. The food was good, the service was great, and the company wasn't too bad. (Lol) Just A Note: They offer some pretty great deals outside of restaurant week. Summers on the waters, I imagined to be beautiful and the over plenty of parking with an additional lot across the street.

    First time at Louis!

    I came to Louie's for lunch today after a friend suggested we meet and grab a bite in Port Jeff. It was my first time here, and not having looked the place up before arriving, I literally had no expectations coming in. I'm glad I didn't peek at the reviews because if I did, I might have suggested a different spot. As soon as I sat at our table, I was absolutely blown away by everything here. From the magnificent views and the incredible historical photos adorning the walls to the superb service and the buzz from fellow patrons, I knew lunch was going to be great. And great it was. Their $29 lunch special, which includes your choice of an app and an entree, was just what the doctor ordered. I opted for the lobster bisque soup and a grilled chicken Caesar salad. The lobster bisque was hot, hearty, and oh-so-flavorful--perfect for a cold day like today. The Caesar salad was crispy, refreshing, and rather filling, as it came with a very generous portion of chicken. If you're a boat aficionado like me, love being by the water, and enjoy delicious seafood, I suspect that you'll love Louie's too. Oh, and I heard from fellow patrons and long-time Port Jeff residents that their new owners have really turned this joint around. So if you're used to the previous version, you might want to come back and see how they've changed.

    Great place for dinner in Port Washington! The service here was fantastic, and the overall experience was top-notch. The price is a bit high for the amount of food, but everything tasted great. We started off the meal with several appetizers including the raw oysters, burrata, and the octopus salad. we really like all these appetizers. For the main course, we ordered the porterhouse steak for two people, Ahi tuna, and the seared scallops. I enjoyed the steak but it wasn't anything extra special. The scallops were really delicious! We are so got a variety sides, including the mac & cheese, brussels sprouts (toasted to perfection), truffle fries (good texture and taste), and the mashed potatoes (mediocre). For the desserts, I enjoyed the pecan pie and the Creme brûlée. The cheese cake was also great. I didn't like the molten chocolate cake as much as I expected. Lastly, the view from the restaurant is one of a kind, especially during sunset!

    Went for lunch on a summer Friday afternoon and dined on their waterfront patio. The seafood is fresh and delicious. Everything we had was pretty good except the lobster roll which was fine but not the best that I've have. It was pretty busy, be service was prompt which was good. This place. Doesn't accept reservations in the summer, and I hear the wait times can be up to 3 hrs on a weekend so keep that in mind and plan accordingly. We went on a less busy day and were seated quickly.

    Three Course Dinner Prix Fixe Menu

    Came here to celebrate my birthday with a friend and was blown away by the experience. A Monday night and I wasn't expecting much. They offer (for a couple more weeks Sunday to Friday) a prix fixe dinner including wine/beer, appetizer, entree and dessert for $50, a great value for this upscale eatery. We were seated up front by the water in an enclosed all glass room with a perfect view of the water and sunset. Home made rolls with butter were brought out with my glass of Cabernet. In a nutshell the food was 4.5 all around. My French onion soup was very good as was my glass of house Cabernet. I had an upgraded entree (for $10 more) - a tasty and tender filet mignon. Topped off with a chocolate mousse which freshly made and very good. Service was five star all around from reception to waiter and bartender. This is a classic venue (since 1903) that has been brought up to modern day standards while maintaining its old school charm. Free parking lot across the street. It's packed and buzzing during waterfront season (coming soon!) but I was happy to experience it in a quieter way. Happy hour at the bar Mondays to Friday from 4-7. Looking forward to coming back soon.

    What better way to stare at the sunset in a pier dock than fresh, warm, bread to start off your meal. That shit was great. We got oysters to start, branzino and scallops with the lobster ravioli for the entree. The branzino with a squeeze of lemon was exquisite. The scallops were seared nice, and while the sauce and raviolis tasted great, I felt as if they were a bit cold. Overall, I would recommend this place. It was delicious, but it wasn't anything special.

    Darwin's service was great! Very personable and the food here is always amazing. Never fails to amaze me

    I came here on a beautiful clear skied summer day. I was so pleased to be taken care of by Mr. Leo. He has such a kind wise and friendly soul. The food was delicious, sparkling water, Summer Fashion cocktail, caesar salad with grilled shrimp, and flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream....yum! But above all, the warm ambiance, the soft breeze, the gentle lapping water, the delicious food....above all, I appreciated the warm kinda attention from Mr. Leo, my server. I will definitely come back again. Strongly recommend!!

    Louies is under new ownership, and the transformation from what it was, to what it is, is unbelievable, such a wonderful experience. The staff was extremely professional and courteous, very accommodating and helpful, from the hostesses to the server and runners, everyone was very well trained and informed on the food and being friendly. We had a table of four, with 2 people ordering the Fish and Chips, and as a fan of fish and chips, these were very well made. The fish tasted like butter and not too heavily battered. We also split the Zucchini Chips, which were addicting, light and fresh. The Ahi Tun Chips were very good too, lots of flavor, and ample serving. And the Burrata was your standard burrata. We had some dessert as well. Sadly there was no Key Lime Pie that day, but we had some capuccinos and creme brulee to end the meal, both were delicious. They placed us in a quiet area of the restaurant, by the water; and let us enjoy the weather and our meal, checking if we needed anything from time to time. This place is $$$$, but our experience matches the price.

    I was looking forward to going back to Louie's after eating at the original restaurant when the original owners owned it, the Zwerlins. Back then the food was the best quality and prepared the best way. Unfortunately, I did not find that when I returned there yesterday. The food was subpar. The best items were the zucchini chips and truffle fries. The coco mojo was delicious. The service was nothing special and although the appetizers came out quickly, everything else took what seemed to be an eternity to come. One of the guests at the neighboring table made two harsh comments in jest to the manager, "you should shoot the chef and call me back when the food gets better. " The ambiance was nice. How bad can it be when you are sitting on a deck overlooking the bay?

For desert, lava cake apparently good but the apple crisp wasn't crisp at all, just a mushy oatmeal covering over cooked apples. A sad end to a meal that cost almost $360. Won't be back.

We were full by the time it came to dessert, so we didn't order anything, but menu looked tempting. While we were there we saw a ton of take-out orders being picked up, so obviously a local favorite. If we lived closer would definitely get take out from here as well.

Really sleek, darkly lit and feeling like it's a place for a date night. But they had a lot of families with small kids in the restaurant as well. There's plenty of seating! I thought it was so nice of them to start us off with a bowl of warm edamame as we perused through the menu. Menu is not super extensive but it was a little difficult to read through. Large list of drinks compared to the food. It was also a little bit hectic hailing down the waitstaff for help, but it was a very busy weekend night. I ordered a couple of rolls. The East House roll was very nice, though I didn't expect from the description that the roll would not be wrapped in nori but in that clear-ish yubu skin situation. I wasn't mad about it, the presentation was beautiful. All of the fish felt very clean and not too strong or fishy tasting. I also had a spicy tuna roll which was good but not really spicy or tuna-y enough for my preferences. The sushi rice layers were nicely thin so that I didn't feel overstuffed with rice afterwards. Someone from my table ordered the hot udon as it was a cold and drizzly day outside. They felt the flavor was bland. It looked fairly bland and disappointing. Miso soup was also bland, though it was generously portioned. The shrimp teriyaki was overcooked. I do think this is a nice elevated environment, and as long as you're getting something from the sushi bar. It's a bit pricey, but you're getting pretty decent quality fish.

Just skip the crispy rice and go for the rolls.
