Popular brunch spot on the weekends. We had the pancake tacos and the fried chicken tacos with loaded tots. Everything was delicious! My husband absolutely loved the loaded tots! I only wish the food had come out a little bit hotter.Our service was good. However, the food did take a while. It wasn't a problem for us, but it is something to be aware of if you are on a schedule.

It's a bar that has food, not a restaurant per se. It's very loud, good place to grab drinks with friends and have small bites, etc. Food was ok - flavors were mixed. Steak frittes had too much balsamic, brussel sprouts oily and bland (needed balsamic), veggie risotto decent, chicken and waffles burnt, pepe pasta bland, beignets good flavor but was more hard shell (with filling) than soft fluffy traditional. Very hard to carry a conversation 2-3 people deep so if it's a big group, those on the ends will only talk with their immediate neighbors (or be left out). Friendly staff but slower service if crowded. Atmosphere was cozy with the brick walls and lighting but again, super loud - which made it non functional. Maybe they added the tip on the bill already (didn't look hard enough) but seemed high with $30+ pp for small bites and 4 mocktails.

very disappointing.Although they have a nice interior design (industrial/loft), the service and food were not good.We, and 3 other tables around us, waited more than 40minutes (!!) for our food. A glass of coca cola took 30min to bring out. They took a wrong order and brought us side of tots instead of loaded baked potato - but there is no way i’m willing to wait another 40min to give them a chance to correct.I had the pasta with steak. look at the pic yourself - the presentation is unappealing.The taste was overall ok - just ok. But considering that we paid ~$30 per dish, it’s outrageous.

While the atmosphere of this restaurant is noteworthy, the overall experience fell short. Service was disappointingly slow, with our food arriving an hour and a half after being seated, and unfortunately, it was cold and of low quality. Although the server acknowledged the delay and kindly offered a complimentary dessert, the food failed to impress. Despite the gesture, the underwhelming dining experience leaves little desire for a return visit.

Rupert was such a helpful bartender. We stopped in for happy hour food and a half off bottle (an every wednesday feature!) and Rupert was very helpful with confirming, with genuine confidence, the solidity of our food picks. We ended up staying longer than expected for more wine. Great spot in OTR. Highly

Waited 1h 45m and paid $18 for the Salmon “Protein” Bowl that only had 1oz of salmon vs the standard 4oz serving. That’s 2 small bites. 6g of protein vs the recommended 15-30g per meal. It came resting on a thin bed of wilted greens on a plate. Rename it the Salmon Nugget Plate. I feel ripped off, insulted, and hungry.

Brunch for my wife's bday. Drinks were delicious. Unfortunately my wife found a hair in her food. 100% wasn't hers. So she could only eat about 1/4 of it. They did take her meal off the bill, but still sort of put a dark cloud over the rest of her bday brunch. Disappointing.

Louvino was a perfect wine bar and restaurant. The flights of wine, the fried chicken tacos, entrees, and the chocolate chip beignets were all unbelievable! Highly recommend Louvivo for any occasion.

The food was very tasty. They had great options but anything with meat was like 10$ more than meals without meat. Our service was great, when we got it. Our server was the hart bartender, so he became very busy. Overall, still very good.

A special thank you to Brandon! We visited this location back in December 2023 (just getting to reviews). Brandon was super awesome. We were not as hungry, but we wanted to stop in and try some of their specialties and Brandon spoiled us with his service and recommendations. The mimosa's were great! The house Donuts paired extremely well with them and we also had the Brussel Sprouts. Out intentions were to grab a quick drink and keep it moving, but we ended up sitting and staying for awhile thanks to Brandon.
