Came here for a late brunch today with some friends. It was not super busy at 12:30, and the host was kind enough to seat me while I waited on my friends to arrive. They have an interesting cocktail menu and were willing to modify one drink for a friend who avoids dairy. We decided to share a bunch of plates. The waitress was kind enough to bring us plates when the food came out to make it easier. Our favorite item as a group was the chicken n waffles. The honey butter and syrup just went so well with the items. The next favorite was the pancake tacos. They were basically a breakfast plate in taco form. It's a bit messy but they were tasty. The biscuits and gravy weren't bad, but weren't anything show stopping. We also really enjoyed the loaded tots. They weren't anything like I was expecting. They looked like hush puppies and were amazing. The atmosphere inside was nice as well. read more

I loved everything about my recent experience at Louvino! The space is gorgeous and has an elegant industrial feel. I went with 5 friends and one has a milk allergy. Our server was so great at accommodating her needs. Overall, our server was awesome in general. She gave great recommendations and was attentive. Everyone seemed happy with their meal. I had a Bellini and the biscuits and gravy. It was delicious and the price seemed reasonable for the portion. I would definitely return. read more

Decided to try this restaurant for brunch while in downtown Indy. We were immediately met by friendly employees and seated promptly. We ordered coffee, I know boring! But we weren't feeling mimosas or anything after an evening of drinks. lol. The coffee was strong and enjoyed it. My husband was craving something sweet and he ordered the berry pancakes which hit the spot! I wanted to try eggs Benedict as I haven't had in years. They did not disappoint and the sauce was delicious. Look forward to coming back next time in town. read more

Was at Louvino for my sons company Christmas dinner. We had the whole upper space which I guess is where they host events or large groups. We had appetizers of beef sliders, crab cakes and hash browns. I could have gorged myself on the hash browns and crab cakes. The sliders were a bit dry and cooked unevenly from one to the next. I got o e that was cooked through and my son got one that was very pink in the middle. The main meal was side salad followed by steak or seafood with mashed potatoes. And for dessert there were chocolate chip beignets. Dinner was good though everyone comment on how small the portions were. I tried one piece of the dessert and left it to others at the table to finish as it wasn't for me. Definitely a place I would eat again though. read more

I was really looking forward to celebrating Mother's Day at the restaurant because of the great food and service from the past. Unfortunately this visit did not meet the expectations. After being seated with my party things started going downhill. I asked for a straw for the water. The server mentioned she had a hidden stash and then placed the straws directly into our glasses while touching the tops with her fingers. This felt quite unsanitary and disappointing. I wasn't aware that it would be a special menu but I did my best to stay positive. We were made aware that they had ran out of biscuits but did have homemade English muffins. The server mentioned they did taste different, her facial expressions actually gave the impression that it may not be good. I ordered the pancake tacos that would have been good if they were hot. One of the guest asked if the hash browns could be warmed up. The service brought a new plate of cold hash browns. It's really sad when the coffee is also barely warm. Since we were seated upstairs and from that vantage point we could see the kitchen area. It quickly became clear why our food was cold. The food was sitting on the counter and the plates were assembled from those pans rather than being freshly prepared or reheated properly. After the approximately $160 billion was paid I did bring up our concerns to a female staff member who seemed genuinely concerned. She then called the manager over, but he didn't seem genuinely concerned and said he would address the issue. But with so many problems I left wondering what exactly will be addressed and to whom. Ive held LouVinos in high regards and hope to see the standard return to what it once was. read more

Wow, this place was great. I stopped by here tonight with my future sister-in-law, I am in town for business and she lives about 30 minutes away. We were going to go to a Thai place down the street but unfortunately it was closed, and we passed by this place and it looked good. On Tuesdays they do a $25 special, where you get pasta, a glass of wine, and a Caesar or house salad. She got that and I got the steak and potato dish and we split. We also shared the fried green tomatoes appetizer, which was fantastic. The waitress had asked if we had been to the restaurant before, and neither of us had; at the end of the night, she brought us a complimentary dessert because of that, which I've never seen before. Super nice. As for the main entrees, they were both delicious. The $25 pasta deal comes with a pesto pasta and the portion was great. The steak and potatoes were also very good, it comes with a rich mashed potato of sorts and a wine demi-glace sauce. I would definitely come back here again, the rest of the menu looked pretty good as well and waitservice was also great. read more

While Lou Vino has a lovely brunch menu, they could use some attention on executing the details. We sat at the bar and Cat took great care of us! She was on top of what we needed and had great energy. She was the best part of the experience. While we had an absolutely lovely time, I was bothered by the fact that the Veggie Scramble was extremely lackluster... in presentation, creativity, and value--it was a $12 plate of two eggs tossed with a sprinkle of cheese and a few veggies. No sides. No garnish. No effort. I also thought the Salmon Power Bowl had a lot of great elements, but it felt very unbalanced. There was a lot of quinoa and farro on the plate, which felt greasy especially when mixed in with the greens, making them feel limp and heavy rather than fresh and vibrant. Overall the meal was enjoyable, but for the price point and the luxe brand and ambiance, I expect the food to be a bit more dialed in and balanced. read more

Great experience!!! 1. The food was absolutely amazing! For the appetizer we had Loaded Tater Tot bites and let me just tell you they were stuffed to perfection. They were stuffed with bacon, chives, cheese & potatoes. They were soft on the inside and the perfect crispness outside. For meal we had Pancake tacos, hash brown casserole & BLT w/crispy chichi ken. 2. We tried the mimosa flights. 3 Flavors for $15 wasn't bad at all. We tried all 6 flavors and none of them disappointed. 3. The customer service was excellent! Our waitress was the bartender and she handled both accordingly. She recommended popular dishes and told us what customers loved. read more

Had always heard amazing things about LouVino, so we stopped in to give it a try. Our server was super friendly and helpful. We started with the loaded potato tots. Those were awesome. I ended up ordering the risotto. The risotto included zucchini and corn, which I wasn't used to for a risotto. I'm not sure I loved the pairing. The shrimp and scallops were tasty and the dish was bountiful. Couldn't even finish it all. Overall I'd rate it as a very solid experience. read more

I've been here a few times. This was my first time trying the fried green tomatoes. The hashbrown casserole and biscuit were my favorite. I wasn't a fan of the pineapple upside down mimosa.

Tried this place for brunch with past weekend with some friends. I had heard great thing about this place over the years. However, I was extremely underwhelmed. The biscuit board, country doughnuts and the avocado toast were really delicious. But between the breakfast plate and the veggie scrambler they didn't have much flavor or wow factor. If I were to go back, I would probably only get the biscuit board. The biscuits were freshly baked and extremely soft and delicious. read more

We went for lunch as a group of 7 in their private room. We had excellent service from Will! All the food was good with a few standout items. The Salmon BLT was great, and each component was as good as the next. Crispy bacon, flavorful aioli, perfectly cooked salmon, really good sourdough. Perfect. Brussel sprouts served warm as a side were also great. We shared some stuffed tater tots and fried green tomatoes. The only slightly negative comment we had was the mustard sauce on the tomato plate was overpowering, but the tomatoes were still crispy and good. A few members of our party said the iced tea was brewed too strong, but I didn't try it. I would be interested to come back for dinner and wine, which is the really the vibe here. read more

LouVino - Salmon BLT and Brussels sprouts - Southern Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Very good but there were a few things that could've been better. The vanilla doughnuts were tasty but not as light and airy as you'd hope. They were also really small (looked like fried cheese curds, not doughnuts). The Kentucky coffee was tasty. I had the chicken and waffles. Very tasty. Great waffle. The chicken was good but the breading fell off as soon as you cut into it which wasn't ideal. My father-in-law had the Brie stuffed French toast. He said it was good but wanted more Brie. There was a thin layer but it didn't come off as stuffed. read more

We had great service when we visited Lou Vino. Our server Jeff was very attentive and checked on us often. For me, the food is just alright. The menu for brunch is small and I find that there's not a lot to choose from. The loaded tots are my favorite! They're cheesy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The fried chicken tacos are interesting, but overall pretty tasty. The bottom of the tortilla is filled with mashed potatoes. Then, they put a chicken tender on top and drizzle it with brown gravy and sprinkle it with cheese. They have $4 mimosas for brunch and you can choose from a few different flavors. I got the pineapple mimosa and it was so yummy! read more

Wine fights at Lou Vino have become a table game... it is always fun to see who selects the best flight. The Brussel Sprouts here are a personal favorite, the friend accompanying me tried a bite, said they were the best they've had and will definitely be ordering them on their next visit! Pairing sprouts with a protein is a must, so far I've had the Salmon, Shrimp and Chicken. Of the three, if asked, I would say Salmon is my favorite. Shoutout to our waitress, Elinor, for her superb recommendations, she completed the dining experience and made our overall evening amazing! read more

WOW! I had the great pleasure of going to LouVino for the first time last evening and it was phenomenal through and through. I started with a wine flight (I wish I remembered which one) but it was great. I ordered the Sweet Corn Pasta to eat and it was one of the best pastas I've ever had outside of Italy. The flavor was spectacular, the pasta was perfectly cooked, and I loved every single bite. I also shared some frites with truffle aioli with my friend and those were also super good (and I'm a huge french fry fan). LouVino is perfect for a date night, girls night out, or occasion of any sort! I already cannot wait to go back! read more

The vibe just wasn't vibing! The food was just ok and the staff ignored us. Shortly after being seated, a more desirable table opened up. We asked one of the multiple hostesses if we could instead be seated there. They said they'd take a look and never returned. They were not busy during this time so I cannot imagine what kept them, they walked past us several times and never returned to say yes or no. Our waiter walked up and without introducing themselves just asked what we wanted, walked away and didn't return until they're were delivering our food. After we got our food they only returned to bring the check. We had originally planned to chill and sip multiple mimosas, instead we quickly ate our food and left unlikely to return or recommend. read more

This place is consistently terrible. Most of the menu was barely edible. Fried chicken tacos? Disgusting. Chicken sandwich? So spicy you can't even eat it. Everything is over salted nothing is actually balanced from a flavor perspective. I had an incredibly mediocre birthday brunch for a friend there that cost about $1000 for 20 people and people barely ate because nothing was good. I love a good local spot and I've actually had a couple good pasta dinners here but for the most part I keep going hoping it's gonna be better and it never is. read more

Delicious food! Wonderful wait staff! We loved the salad, pasta, and wine for $25! The fried green tomatoes were delicious.

Came here with a friend for brunch and we were NOT disappointed. I would come back to LouVino for the Stuffed French Toast alone. The ambiance of this place is rustic and open. There is also upstairs seating which is a plus! I ordered the fried chicken tacos and they were delicious! Just the right amount of batter on chicken. Also, had to do mimosas! Docking one star because we ordered the apple flavored mimosas per our waitresses request and we really couldn't taste the apple. However, that was quickly redeemed the minute we took a bite of the Stuffed French Toast. I mean WOW. It had the most subtle flavor of cinnamon that balanced well with the slightly tart blueberries. If you are looking for a great brunch spot in Indy look no further! Great service, food, and ambiance. I will definitely be back. read more

I attended a Bourbon Women event at this restaurant. The food was really impressive. I have a odd allergy in the kitchen staff was so accommodating to it. I was still able to eat all the food that I wanted because the kitchen staff was willing to accommodate. For someone who can't always eat the food on the menu it's pretty special. We had a decent size group, it was an event, and the service was phenomenal. Our food came out hot and quickly. Everyone was served at once, it was just a really great experience. The one thing I can't speak to is the bar menu the event that we were having provided drinks. But I will be back to give that a go to! read more

I came in for a girls night out and was not disappointed! We were seated upstairs near the window, giving us a nice view of Mass Ave. I ordered the peach daiquiri to start and my friend ordered the mezcal. Both came beautifully poured and the drinks were strong, but tasty. To eat, we each ordered the scallops and green tomatoes. The mustard sauce on top was the perfect mix of sweet and spice. The scallops were a pretty good size and the green tomatoes were crispy and seasoned well. Though these were small plates, we did find ourselves pretty full at the end. Next time, I'll try the onion dip to start. read more

While in town for a wedding, I took myself out to brunch and, given the great reviews, I selected LouVino - and that decision did not disappoint. Since I was by myself, I opted to sit at the bar and not take up a table - I had a book with me and sincerely had a pleasant time. First the service was exceptional; they were quick, attentive (but let me sit there and read!), and answered all my questions about their recommendations. I started with the fried green tomatoes, which were fantastic; they were fried nicely, flavorful, and had a nice hit of acidity from the mustard sauce on them. Then, I had the biscuits and gravy, per my server's recommendation, and YUM. The biscuits were fluffy and light, and the gravy was heavy and creamy! Honestly the perfect combination. Overall, I would highly recommend LouVino - and they seemed to be rather accommodating for large groups as well! Next time I'm in town, I definitely want to try the pancake tacos... Bonus points // $3 mimosas during brunch! (Coming from Miami, this seemed too good to be true, but they were delicious!) read more

With the LouVino in Fishers permanently closed, I'm curious how long the LouVino Mass Ave location will be in business - but after my recent visit, I hope it sticks around!

I wasn't feeling a full entree, so I chose the fried chicken tacos shareable which was perfect and hit the spot.

Came here for a book club meeting! We started off with a pitcher of Mimosa's for $22. They have $3 mimosa's for brunch as well. The mimosa's was great ! Service was great , ambiance beautiful.

My bill was $27 Greet place to meet. Next time I will try dessert. read more

Went to Louvino on Mass Ave on Saturday. A bottle of Roederer hit the spot with a girlfriend and we each had an entree with salmon added. It was a two hour meal because the kitchen was so backed up, but the weather and people watching was nice. Turns out our reservation coincided with a wedding party of about 20 people and a large dinner rush. The kitchen must have been backed up. My entree was the goat cheese gnocchi with salmon. It's not cheap. Almost every dish is vegan or vegetarian. Dishes average $15 to $28 each. They allow you to add a protein for an additional $15 a pop. Right now they have scallops or salmon. I don't know where the scallops come from, BUT, the salmon is from the Faroe Islands and it's considered some of the greatest salmon in the world. It was tasty. We both enjoyed our food. Staff was friendly and apologetic for the delay. One thing that surprised me: the lack of wine knowledge by some of the staff. I was surprised a sommelier was not on hand on a Saturday night at a restaurant that boasts about its wine selection. We also had to pour our wine ourselves - and we had a bottle. In a fine dining restaurant that isn't the case. Our meal was over $140 with wine and food. For the price paid and the menu, I expected a fine dining experience and did not experience it. Three stars due to lack of wine knowledge, delay in our meal being served, and lack to attention to detail. Regardless, great to spend time with one of my dearest friends and the people watching on a summer night on Mass Ave is worth the price of admission. read more

Louvino is one of my go-to brunch spots on Mass Ave. Both sweet and savory options are available across a wide price range. I love the peace of mind of booking a spot on OpenTable before going. Many of the brunch drinks are pricy, but the mimosa flavorings (including seasonal, like apple pie for fall) are fun and worth a flight. Although the storefront size looks average, remember there is an upstairs with additional seating. I love the interior decor and ambiance which is classy but casual. read more
