Bar Louie in Bolingbrook, IL

     A friendly waitress named Megan was our server, she was upbeat, friendly and represented the establishment well.  Megan was knowledgeable about the menu items, made great recommendations and was (right-on) with regard to ensuring our drinks were full, our food was served in a timely manor and made us feel right at home.  

     We felt welcome as soon as we walked through the door and that feeling did not leave as you find in most establishments (when the meal comes the waitress goes) we felt welcome the entire time.  I am sure that all the wait staff at Bar Louie are great, and if Megan was any indication of what one might expect, you can count on great customer service.  Since customer service is everything (second only to the quality of the food) we were very impressed with the service we received.  I would go back again on customer service alone, but with such good food as well, it was almost a bonus.

     If you are looking for a location near you, there are many location available.  I have provided a link to the listings and "Highly Recommend" you take an afternoon, evening or any occasion you like and try them out.  (Bar Louie Link) If quality Food, Customer service, Great Asthetics and a Fair Price are what you look for?  Then you will find just that in this elegant establishment.

What was on the menu?

     Bar Louie has a wide variety of food to choose from, the selection of items include, Main Dish Dinners, Pizza, Burgers, Salads and more.  You will not have a problem choosing dinner off the (non-complicated menu).  If you are looking for a Snack, Lunch or a Sit-Down Dinner, you can find it here.  The choice of drinks is just as appealing since Bar Louie has a well stocked Full Bar as well.  If you want the ambiance of a upscale restaurant without the upscale cost, this is the place for you.

What we had the day we went:

1.  I chose the Fish Taco's for dinner.  Originally, I had not considered how the two dish ideas (fish and taco's) would successfully mix, and I had considered this an adventurous type meal.  I thought it would be nice to try something different than the norm, but to my surprise it was awesome (I think I found a new favorite).  If you like fish dishes, then you will love this meal, (Three) Fish Taco'smade with cabbage, chipotle mayo, mango salsa with black beans & rice (on the side).  Price $10.99 plus drink (Iced Tea)

2.  My wife (Roseanne), had the Southwest Burger, made with pepper jack cheese, guacamole & jalapeno peppers.  Each Burger comes with Coleslaw and Seasoned French Fries.  If you have an appetite (bring it), as this is one big serving of burger.  Great Southwestern flavors and enough kick (heat) to make it worthy of the Southwestern title, all without being so spicy you can't eat it comfortably.  The Price was $8.99 plus drink (Iced Tea)

3.  Desert for Two was a Mile High Carrot Cake.  This was the best Carrot Cake I have "Ever" had, it was even better than the Carrot Cake I have had at home (my mom and wife will not be happy), but is was.  The cake was moist with great hints of carrot, topped with a creamy icing that was not overly sweet (just the right combination of flavors).  It was truly a great desert / ending to a fabulous dinner.  Mile High Carrot Cake for Two $7.99.

     The menu was full of different types of food for even the most discriminating palate, want something fast (they've got it), want a nice sit-down meal for a relaxing evening for 2, 3, 4 or more (they've got it), want something to drink to go with a great meal (they've got it).  The food was a great value, it was served in a timely manor and when the bill came (I didn't need CPR to get my heart started again).

The Burgers Taste as good as they look.

     My overall impression of Bar Louie's was a Great Experience.  I found the place to have great food, friendly service with a relaxing atmosphere.  The Restaurant was decorated with dark woods and high quality fixtures and reminded me of (high class, exclusive, private clubs) and I would recommend this Restaurant (located in Bolingbrook's, new Promenade shopping center) for any occasion. 
     My overall rating of this establishment was a "Home Run Dining Experience".  Laughing
