Great food, drinks, and great service! Very eclectic looking and cozy. I like that the menu is very limited. Less choices to make, and they can stick with excellent food preparations. Looking forward to our next visit read more

Louis Louis is always on point. We've eaten there numerous times and will continue to return. Great service! Great food! Great hospitality !

My sister and her husband had been here before and really like the place so we booked reservations for my brother-in-laws birthday dinner. Heir menu really doesn't change, but it doesn't need to. They have amazing seafood, great sides and cold drinks. Josh was our waiter and was very speedy! We go out orders in and dinner seemed like it came out quick and hot. I tried that gumbo first and the flavor put be back in New Orleans. I had the grouper and my fiancé ordered the crab cakes. I heard they were known for their crab cakes, but I wasn't a huge fan. My blackened grouper was absolutely delicious. The seasoning wasn't over powering and the fish was cooked to perfection. The salad was my favorite part crazy enough. It was a tomato basil vinaigrette that was out of this world with flavor. It had a sweet base to it that brought out the basil flavor that made us all guess what the ingredients were. What I really enjoyed about this place was that the owner was walking around all night checking on the tables and making sure everyone was enjoying themselves and that the food was perfection. Great dinner spot and really cool vibe with all the red lights and fun paintings everywhere. read more

Service was decent. Ambiance is ridiculous. I'm 35. I shouldn't need my flashlight to see the menu. It was so insanely loud. Food was....ok. I don't think it was worth over $200 for 3 meals. Also. Salads on the entree plate?!?! Messy and unnecessary. read more

Louis Louis - First time here!! - New American Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

What an amazing dinner! Lobster bisque, fried green beans. Chicken and Grouper dishes. Everything was spectacular! The grouper was absolutely the best dish we had but the chicken which was prepared the same was also exceptionally made. Service was perfect! Very friendly server who had great understanding of the menu. The ambiance was also very fun! It's part of the family that owns a few other restaurants in the area such as the Bric and Brac. We will be back next time we visit the area! read more

Absolutely love Louis Louis - this is one of our go-to restaurants anytime we're in the Destin area. We're always craving the smoked tuna dip - it's the best of any restaurant in the area (smoky flavor with a little spicy kick)...could eat this several times a week. The entrees are always amazing - grouper and salmon are our favorites (simple but the flavors are amazing for both dishes)!!! And can't say enough about the service - we have our favorite waiter that seems to wait on us every time we come year after year. He's just the best - great personality and always on top of everything. Definitely check this restaurant out if in the area!!! read more

My wife and I enjoyed our visit today. We both had the crabcake app and think the cake part is misleading. Anything other than crab is not detectable. The verblank sauce alone should be served with a roll for dredging. Then I had the blackened grouper, oh my God! Ruth had the sautéed grouper and enjoyed it immensely but wonders if she should had ordered the shrimp and crayfish pasta because that sounded good.too... the service was great and the eclectic vibe was challenging because if you try to take it all in you'll need a nap. Unfortunately we didn't leave room for dessert. BTW the Apalach ipa was frosty and delicious too. I wish we were planning on visiting the area again I could definitely see becoming a Norm here... read more

Little bit of a wait for a Wednesday so I would recommend a reservation. We had a great experience sitting at the bar. Food was the best I've had in a long time, and my wife would agree. We will be back to get more mojitos and Shrimp Pasta soon! read more

Great food and service! There's only about 5 entrees on the menu, but they do them all very well. The pan sauteed grouper with capers and brown butter sauce was delicious. Came with mashed potatoes that were equally as good, probably the best I've ever tasted. My better half had the blackened grouper with bacon cheddar grits cake and thought it was the bee's knees. Service was quick and attentive. Cool thing is that almost every entree can be made gluten free, with no issues. A little bit of a hike from Destin, but very much worth the trip. read more

Really want a place that showcase grouper. Louis Louis came up as the best grouper spot and tell him. They have a very small menu so the whole party has to want to eat one of those items. Our party opted for the pan, grouper, black, and grouper, and crabcakes. They're all very yummy. The platters are pretty big so would suggest coming in very hungry. You were able to swap outside so something to think about before you come in. The salad and mashed potatoes were super good! The grit cake was not my favorite. This is a great place for large parties as well however, they do get busy and I would suggest getting here early. Definitely a must try if you're feeling hungry! read more

So, the ambiance is great, and we walked right in and got sat at 6:30, no problem. Our entrees were absolutely awesome. With that being said, it was insane how quickly our food came out. I shit you not, we ordered and it was at our table within 5 minutes (I should mention that 2 of the entrees were blackened grouper and 1 was a shrimp and crawfish pasta) I can only imagine that because there are only 5-6 items on the menu, that they are cooking those items constantly and just plating up as the orders come in. Kind of like going to a dim sum restaurant. The only reason I'm not a fan of this is because I barely even started my cocktail when the food arrived. It was a blueberry vodka drink. I wanted to have a glass of wine with dinner, but that plan went out the window. I can't even tell you how this threw my husband off, and he's been a chef for over 25 years (it's kind of funny how angry he was that the food was so good for how short a time it took to come out). I appreciate the need to turn and burn tables, but this was a little off putting. There were empty tables all around us. We spent almost $300 to feel rushed. I would highly recommend anyone dining here to make sure that you tell the server to put a 15 minute hold on your food, or withhold the order until you are ready if you would like to enjoy the experience. Even so, I say give them a go. It was delicious! read more

Louis Louis - Blackened grouper - New American Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

Simple menu. All food is well prepared and tastes great. Wait staff is great and provide great service. Like the vibe. Like choice of inside or outside seating. read more

I'm honestly surprised by the number of five star reviews. The interior of the restaurant is like Applebees on acid. We chose to sit at the bar, many of the stools had duct tape on them. We ordered basil cucumber martinis and immediately after those were served the appetizer came out. The crab cake was okay. We barely finished that and the entrees came out, one blackened grouper and one (pan fried? I don't remember). The speed at which the food came out lead me to believe it was sitting in the kitchen waiting to be served. We took a slice of key lime to go - the pie was good. Our home town is a city foodies flock to so we are not strangers to fine dining or expensive meals; the price tag didn't match the quality of the food or the vibe. read more

Always an enjoyable evening. The service the people and the food. The smoke tuna is amazing!

I've always loved Louis Louis, it's a quieter version of Red Bar. Good food, limited menu but that's what I love. ALL the meals are good and delivered to the table VERY quickly! read more

The atmosphere is great. Service is warm. Food very underwhelming. Greasy spoon for Oceanside dining prices.

This is one of those places that listened to the experts, do a few things and do them really well! So happy we ventured down to Santa Rosa for this great dining experience. We had a short wait, and we ordered immediately and our food was out before our drinks. I had the crab cakes and they were wonderful perfectly seared crab with very little "filler" and the best mashed potatoes I have ever put in my mouth. (I had Jeff Ruby's on the Friday before and said the same thing so I was in mashed potato heaven this week LOL) The green salad was light and bright and a great counter point to other items on the plate. The hubby had the pan sautéed grouper and my tiny taste I got to have of that was amazing! Ok, this is where I am just going to sound old...this restaurant was LOUD. Like hard to talk to the person across from you loud. If you have a member of your party that has sensory issues this is not the place to go. We will be back, but I think we will try to eat outside. I loved all the décor and our service was on point. When a wrong entrée was served it was fixed in 2 minutes. read more

Outstanding service. Super cool video and the food? For real chef's kiss. Best fresh blacken grouper w/ sautéed spinach. Mashed potatoes and salad. All done to perfection and large portions went back in town will definitely visit again read more

It's a great food place that now takes reservations as though it's highly recommended and has always been solid

I'm giving it two stars for the crab cake which was a 5. The gumbo bowl was less than a cup, cold and was nothing but reux. The shrimp and crawfish was bland at best. Food came out two minutes after ordering and was honestly a disappointment- they have gone down hill. read more

Always great food and service. Portions are large. Reasonably priced for what you get.

Louis Louis is fun and quirky with a short but mighty menu. This was a random find on our Florida vacation and we all thought it was so good. The portions are LARGE so come with an appetite. There is not many options for vegetarians or vegans so if you are those then this is not the place for you. The chicken special was amazing and I shared the lasagna with my mother in law ( the only vegetarian option) and it was also super good. Overall the experience was good! The ambiance kitschy and fun. It totally transports you elsewhere. Our server was great and explained all the items throughly. read more

Crab cakes were the best ever and service and atmosphere was great we will be back for sure

We LOVE Louis Louis! We visit the Destin area often and always like to make sure Louis Louis is one of our stops. They have the best fresh seafood with yummy sauces. Melanie was our waitress tonight and she was so sweet and helpful letting me pick and choose to make my meal exactly what I wanted. Love the blackened grouper which is a large piece of fish. It usually comes on the mashed potatoes, but I LOVE the grit cake and lemon butter capers sauce. Melanie took my special order and made it happen. The restaurant has both indoor/outdoor and bar seating with a super cool vibe. Red lights and tons of decor leaving no wall untouched. The fried green beans were tasty as well and were a huge quantity. Too many for just the two of us so it would be great for a larger party. Highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area. YUMMY!! read more

Louis Louis - Front entrance - New American Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

The food was good - not amazing, but still good! This place has been a staple go-to for my family for years whenever we visit! It's perfect for families who want better food than a Joe's Crab Shack! There's nothing "instagramable" about this place, but it's still a nice place for dinner! I got the shrimp and crawfish and it was a bit dry- needed more sauce and the gumbo was a bit warm. It's an LA 3 but a Destin 5, so I'm giving it a 4 star review. I believe they're still Family owned which is also awesome! read more

My family has been to Louis Louis a few times and we love it. Best value luxury restaurant in the Santa Rosa beach area. Serving has always been great. I do wish their menu was provided at the table instead of online/on a black board. Restaurant is unique and has a great environment. For transparency I would think that this should be a $$$. We got 2 entrees and an appetizer and it was $100 after tip. read more
