Food is below average, waitress didn't seem interested in us and made it seem like she was doing us a favor taking our order (nothing complicated, 2 beers and a flatbread).

I tried to use the Royal Oak gift card that you can buy and was told that it was rejected. I politely went over and confirmed with the manager that he ONLY charged the amount that was left on the card and not the full amount of the bill. I even preemptively gave them my credit card with the gift card because I knew it wouldn't cover it all. An hour later I got an email from the provider saying he tried to charge the full amount even after i expressly confirmed he did not. I got lied to and won't be back here again.

Yikes! Why is Curt so "curt"????Royal Oak, MI location is prit-tee BAD and Curt the Manager seems to be driving all the patrons away!Food/Spirits are "ok" - TGI Fridays Houlihans Bennigans of the 2000s. Bartender poured up a great Havana Classic Mojito. All Nighter Burger was good. The candied bacon was just right, and the patty was cooked to my requested temp. Just praying that someone else other than Curt is overseeing health and cleanliness standards where the food is stored and prepared. If his dining room/bar manner is the same in the kitchen, then everyone is at risk.Atmosphere - GROSS!!! The Restaurant smelled so badly of restrooms/sewer. This is not due to a local leak or construction project nearby. This is from poor upkeep, and if/when any cleaning miraculously takes place here, the same products and tools are being used interchangeably between restrooms, kitchen, dining room. 3 tables and one bar couple dinned the entire time that I was there. DEAD. No music playing, and the tvs were playing infomercials. Tuesday @ 3:30pm is not an excuse - other establishments in the downtown RO area were already buzzing with afternoon happy hour guests, late lunchers, etc. I walked into Bar Louie, and thought I had walked into a morgue!! Makes sense though...Curt is clearly a driver in pushing business away.Service - the bartender, 20s male 3:30PM Tuesday 2/20/24 - FABULOUS!!! The smile, the kindness, the fun, genuine, authentic. I can only hope that he explores some of the more desirable and local joints in the area for his future/options. Way-to-go YOU Mr. Bartender, the only positive part of my experience.Management - Bar Louie RO, if Curt is an example of your hospitality standards and the face of your restaurant/bar/club...then just throw in the towel and close down. There is a defect somewhere, and this miserable abusive SLOPPY man is gainfully employed by Bar Louie RO and somehow supported in his role by upper management. Curt the Manager on duty was nowhere to be found until A+ bartender needed him for some point of sale adjustments. This guy comes out of the swinging door looking as if he couldn't be more angry annoyed and irritated for having to come out to the dining room. He made his adjustments in the POS system, looked at, table touched, or acknowledged ZERO guests, except for the poor take-out delivery driver that he was verbally abusing and accosting because as he said..."doordash is not my problem get out of my restaurant." Curt, is Bar Louie YOUR restaurant?!?! We all depend on delivery drivers in 2024. Do you treat service staff and Bar Louie staff the way you treated this food delivery person?His uniform/clothing, facial expression, body language...abysmal. I'm sure overall KPI results mirror this guys misery. We left feeling so bad for the kind hourly staff members (bartender and person who ran our food with really cool mustache).

I won't be going back to this location, in my opinion new management is needed at least on the shift that I was there on 2/20/24 @ 3:00 pm.The young man waiting tables, making drinks, and dealing with take out orders was awesome but the so called manager was a statue at the bar, in my opinion he could've offered to assist the young waiter.What did it for me was the fish I order was overcooked and burnt, I informed the waiter who informed the so called manager who couldn't even come over to address the issue and had the waiter relay a message for me to order something else which I didn't.I waited on the wife to finish her sandwich paid the bill and ordered a take out order from the restaurant next door.1st and last time going to this location. In my opinion the young waiter gets a 10, food a 5, and the manager -0!!!!Charles
Came here on the Super Bowl, had a nice, beautiful waitress I don’t know how to spell her name light skin lady with dreads or maybe butterfly locks. Either way I had a great time hear the customer service and the crowd of people who come here great time, great food, and great drinks. Reasonable prices. Definitely coming to this location again.!!!!

The food here was amazing and so was the service. I would absolutely go here again BUT there is one major flaw, the manager has the heat on so high, it was nearly unbearable to be in there for more than 5 mins, it had to be 88 to 90 degrees, no joke. We would have left sooner but there were few other restaurants open on a Monday night. Instead, I stripped down to a T shirt and we endured. We did bring it up to the manager, who said they would turn the heat down but didn't.That said, aside from the atmosphere, which is a huge reason to dine out, the food was amazing. I had the salmon. The service was very friendly and welcoming.
