<b>The Scene</b><br>Louie's has one stunning backyard. A tri-level wooden deck drops down from the elegantly appointed dining room to two patio dining areas surrounded by tropical plants. It ends with a star-lit... (more)

I've been to Louie's Backyard many times. I can say that I've never had a bad experience there. I've gone with friends who've raved about it. A few times we couldn't make up our minds about what we wanted to eat, so, we... (more)
