Louie Clayton Reviews
Incredible service, ambiance, and food.
Trying anything bread related you can instantly tell the dough is home made. Recommend the eggplant appetizer
Review of Louie Focaccia bread was tall and fluffy and warm.
It was better with out the olive oil. Sweet corn ravioli - this was an awesome dish with a great white sauce with sweet corn kernels. Served with cherry tomatoes. This sauce was rich and delicious Rosie y Rosa - a nice strong drink but not over powering. It was easy to drink Cetriolo - very good drink with gin and tonic but lime and cucumber made this drink a little sweeter Salsiccia Pizza - crust was tasty but a little floppy. The salsiccia was spicy and made for a different taste. Over all the pizza was a W Roman Gnocco - this was a great dish with a red sauce that blended nicely with the Gnocco. It tasted like there was some sort of pork sausage in the pasta
Louie is the perfect date night out.
Absolutely everything on their menu is delicious. I truly believe you can't go wrong. Our favorite spot to sit is belly up to the bar, where we can enjoy delicious cocktails and shareables. 10/10 service, food, and beverage every. single. time.
One of the most romantic spots in all of St Louis with
One of the most romantic spots in all of St Louis with killer food to boot. Everything that comes out of the hearth is incredible, from the pita and hummus to the pizzas. Handmade pastas. MUST try.

Came here the other day for the first time and I'd totally come back here again! We ordered a lot of their specials and they were so good! Started with the peaches and prosciutto and it was so fresh and tasty. We also ordered two of their specials, the halibut and the corn ravioli and id definitely recommend to try! Loved the dark and moody ambiance and our server was super nice and witty, we had a very nice time.
We were in town visiting friends and they were able to get
We were in town visiting friends and they were able to get an early waiting list reservation. Amazing dining experience! Service was awesome our server was perfectly attentive and staged beautifully and when my friends took some food home- she packed it up with split containers in the event we wanted to share. Also kept it off the table until we were done! The food- wow! Burrata with fresh peaches and prosciutto- still thinking about it. Cauliflower fritters were lightly battered with a great sauce. My friends had the pork chop and fish special and loved it! Our spring pea ravioli with a lemon cream sauce was transcendent- and I don't usually even like citrus with pasta. EAT HERE!
This place is fabulous.
Great food, service and vibe!! The pappardelle was delicious and the chicken dish, which is something we wouldn't usually get, was highly recommended and it was amazing. We sat at the bar with a reservation, and we enjoyed the bartenders; they were helpful and knowledgeable. We love this place. I recommend that you try this asap. It is hard to get a reservation so if you're fortunate to see one open, grab it quickly before it goes away.
It was our anniversary and everyone was so sweet.
We shared an appetizer and entree and everything was great. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the neighborhood. We look forward to our next visit.
We got our reservation over a month out and still had to
We got our reservation over a month out and still had to settle for an 8pm slot on a Friday night. Definitely worth the hype and the wait. The service is top notch and the food was incredible. The brussels sprouts... oh my. The best I've ever had. We split an Italian salad. It was delicious. The table bread was very good, a little over seasoned and salty but you can easily brush the seasoning off the bread. I ordered a special for the night, Pea Ravioli. It was fantastic. The pasta is made fresh in house and it's perfect. My boyfriend ordered the Chitarra pasta and he loved it. The restaurant is relatively small and has a nice bar. It's very romantic and cozy. Highly recommend!
Simplicity at its finest! Louie is one of our special
Simplicity at its finest! Louie is one of our special occasion go-to spots. We've never had a bad meal and the service is always spectacular. The restaurant is small, so be sure to snag a reservation in advance.
L o u i e...Hot Spot NOT So Hot
visited Louie with family (6 5 24) Melanie was our server she did a good job two things that disappoint me NOT one visit from management to our table and my dinner the mussels you might want to think about a different presentation because they were just OKAY a full house the typical Clayton wannabes, don't know if I'll be back
Delicious food and lovely evening.
Delicious food. Cute small local place with a nice vibe. Complimentary focaccia is delicious. Burrata was a special. Had a seasonal pizza along with the Gnocco which seems to be a signature dish from them and was rich and creamy. Ice cream sandwich was coffee flavored which seems to also rotate seasonally.
Terrific Italian
Saturday evening reservation. First time dining there. Nice atmosphere, if a bit noisy. Excellent service, incredible portioned and prepared dishes all around. ..all reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
I really enjoyed coming here I most definitely will come
I really enjoyed coming here I most definitely will come here for my birthday and I'm really excited to eat all the good food and meet a lot of really great people.. this place makes me feel like home
This is the kind of restaurant that you save your 5-star
This is the kind of restaurant that you save your 5-star reviews for. The food is insanely incredible, the staff are sweet angels, and you're treated like royalty once you step in the door. The environment is charming and welcoming while not overwhelming, with dimmed lighting and beautiful artwork. I left my phone at home when I went last night but I would have taken a picture of every dish and drink if I'd brought it. The broccolini (and the vinaigrette!) is a must-have, as well as their various breads and the prosciutto. Everyone's meal was a favorite, and the Rosa y rosie drink was divine. We greatly enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!
Louie is such an amazing and cozy dinner place! My friend
Louie is such an amazing and cozy dinner place! My friend and I arrived around 6:30 pm without a reservation. The restaurant seemed packed. However, the hosts worked a way out for us. We were lucky enough to be seated within 10 minutes. They offered a variety of options on the menu - all looked great. Our server was great - friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. She recommended me a few options for wine. But I went with a cocktail - Rose y Rosie. The drink was great but a bit strong (in my opinion as someone who doesn't drink often). For food, I had the Margherita pizza. It was super delicious. Overall, I had a great time at Louie. It's a great place for having a date night, catching up with friends, or hanging out with family members. However, it's hard to find a parking spot on De Mun. I'd recommend parking further away if you're confident with your parallel parking skill.
We all know they have great service, great cocktails, nice
We all know they have great service, great cocktails, nice atmosphere, but let's talk about the brocollini pizza. I've been to the best spots in New York, small towns in Italy, hole in the wall Chicago spots and I've never had anything like this. The wood fire crust, the flavors, the creativity without overdoing it, the freshness...it's one of the most delicious single items I've ever had. Don't ever remove this from the menu Louie, it's a local treasure.
Hands down me and my husbands favorite spot in St.
Louis. We look for any excuse to go--anniversary's, birthdays, any kind of special occasion. The ambiance, service, and food are unmatched. It has ruined other restaurants for us because of how much we love it here!!! You can't go wrong with any dish, but we always, always order the Roman Gnocchi as a main dish and the prosciutto as an appetizer. We live in Illinois and it's 100% worth the 40 minute drive. Can't recommend enough!
I made a reservation for Louie on Valentine's Day.
.. or so I thought... once we arrived we soon figured out that my reservation was for Louie's wine dive . Even though they were fully booked, the hostess was so kind and worked her magic and managed to get us at a table within 5 minutes. Our server was amazing, knowledgeable, and fun. The food was delicious. The wine was wonderful. The overall atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this place for a nice date night or a good place to start for a night out with your significant other.
I came here twice and both times were fantastic.
I had the mussels and WOW were they fresh!! I have not been a huge fan of mussels in the past but here at Louie they are really out of this world. And the broth the garlic and tomato really complement the seafood beautifully. I loved dipping the bread into the broth at the bottom!! I also had the cavatelli special with calabrian sausage and broccolini which was to die for. I love when restaurants have fresh pasta and Louie really scratched that itch for me :) I hate to say it but I'd take this place over any restaurant on the Hill. Food was 10/10! I had a cocktail (the Rosie and Rosa) which came in this cute little crystal glass and was just such a tasty combo between sweet, citrusy and aromatic. My only small complaint is that it's pretty loud in there but I don't really mind it. If you're looking for a quiet atmosphere though maybe go early / on a weeknight.
Stopped in to get a drink and a nap, but ended up staying
Stopped in to get a drink and a nap, but ended up staying for dinner! They do make a great martini. I somehow lost all of the other photos I took, but I was able to find one. The Cauliflower Fritto was amazing! Like seriously I dreamt about it. It was kind of like fried pickles lol if you like those. It's a pickled cauliflower that is deep fried. So so good! Can't wait to go back and try it again. The Bartender definitely was right on that one because we were questioning our choice at first. Make sure to get a reservation. Because this place is always packed! But it's also a very cozy vibe, low lighting... Perfect for a drink and date night.
Spectacular, Impressive, Stellar and Delicious are the
Spectacular, Impressive, Stellar and Delicious are the first four words that come to my mind when describing a meal at, Louie and the service can be summed up as, impeccable. My most recent visits, had my tastebuds dancing and celebrating through the entire meal. Being a single diner, I always sit at the bar and the service is super attentive as if I were seated at one of the many tables. Being seated at the bar, I enjoy watching the bartender(s) masterfully make my cocktail. They truly know their skill and present a refreshing adult beverage. I recently expanded my choice of a starter and I am glad I did. I typically always begin my meal with, Brussels Sprouts. My new experiences were, their Italian Salad and Broccolini. Keep in mind both are big enough to share if you're also getting a main dish. The Italian Salad is made with Romaine lettuce and has Chickpeas as a ingredient. I am a fan of Chickpeas in a salad, so this makes me happy. The Broccolini, blew my mind. It was grilled, crisp and extra full of flavor. I could not finish it all and brought half of it home. I used the leftovers to make a omelette in the morning and it was spectacular. Best leftovers I have ever brought home from a restaurant. My two most recent main dishes have been the Broccolini Pizza and their Mussels. The pizza has Ricotta as its cheese and also has lemon and Calabrian Chili as additional toppings. It's one of the best vegetarian themed pizzas I have enjoyed. Their Mussels are absolutely mind blowing. I'll say they are the best I have ever had and I eat a lot of Mussels. The white wine broth, with shallots, garlic and tomatoes was a perfect bath for the mussels and for dipping the grilled Focaccia. If I could of brought the leftover broth home, I would have. A minor detail that impressed me, was the fact that not one of my mussel shells were missing a mussel. If you enjoy mussels, I highly recommend that you order these. I also want to give a shout out for the staffs attention to details. They provide extra and appropriate serving pieces for each course. I am dining at a bar and I feel as if I'm receiving white linen table service. Great job! If you have not been to Louie, you are missing out and need to add it to your bucket list of restaurants.
My favorite restaurant in St.
Louis. I love the pizza, bread, and hummus. The location is good, as well as the service. The dining area is dark and warm.
I was so excited to try after hearing so many great things
I was so excited to try after hearing so many great things about Louie's. We, a party of two arrived for a late evening reservation on a Thursday. The ambience was cozy, the room was dimly lit and bustling with conversations. We started with Brussels sprouts which were a win. The lemon and pecorino brought them to life in such a lovely way. The bread is something I was excited about. However it arrived to the table cold and bland. Not the warm herby goodness I was expecting. Our server who was great by the way, obliged when we asked for it to be warmed. However it appears the chef just stuck it under the broiler and burned it. I went back and forth between the chicken and the mussels. I ultimately decided on the roast chicken. My partner chose the Roman gnocco which was actually pretty tasty for what I can only describe as a lasagna and shepherd pie baby. My chicken however left much to be desired. The chicken had an overwhelming salty flavor. It actually was reminiscent of the rotisserie chicken you pick up at your local warehouse grocery store. I do plan to return because the signature drinks and the stellar service, not to mention the ice cream sandwich were worth another try. Seriously so lovely.
Lovely atmosphere but too rushed at bar seating
We were excited to have an evening out at Louie on our visit to St. Louis but were disappointed because we our meal was so rushed at the bar and the food was just okay. From the moment we sat down and ordered drinks and apps, three different servers repeatedly asked us to place our orders for entrees. We finally did, to get them off our backs, and the entrees were brought out even before we finished our apps. All in all, we were seated, ate apps and entrees, and received our check much too quickly—in less than 55 minutes. The cauliflower fritta was greasy, the eggplant dip was tasty, and the broccolini was nicely spicy but could have been slightly more tender. The pasta Bolognese dish was delicious. Given the excellent reviews we might give it another shot but will see if a table seating will be more enjoyable.
What more can be said? Another 5-star mealat Louie.
As always, the service was impeccable and the food was delicious!
Best food and best service.
I was in town for work and didn't have a reservation and just stopped in and both the hostess and server were so kind. Even though the restaurant was very busy I still received excellent service and the cacio was fantastic!
The first host who we talked to lied and said that two
The first host who we talked to lied and said that two people could not sit in a four top booth. They wouldn't let us sit down in a booth despite us asking and i had to make a fuss to sit at a booth because other couples were already sitting there. Later the host admitted that they had no justification for preventing me from sitting in the spot I wanted when I alerted the manager.... Unprofessional & newly trained. I got the grilled Spanish octopus, roast chicken and cod which was the special of the day. The food was not remarkable; the chicken was way too salty and overwhelming and octopus portion was teeny tiny it was mainly potatoes and the fish was bland.
Miserable service - food was good but the service was
Miserable service - food was good but the service was really bad. He brought the entrees along with the appetizers and was annoyed when we complained.
Incredible dinner, pastas and chicken really stood out.
Very warm ambiance and fantastic service! 5Stars all the way
Had a late dinner with a friend at Louie.
It was both of our first times there. Cannot speak more highly of this place-- from the service, to the atmosphere, to the wine, and of course, our amazing dishes. Every bit of dinner was perfection. Will definitely be back!
Overall great food and service with a hip and dark romantic
Overall great food and service with a hip and dark romantic vibe. Reservations recommended and be ready to spend a little dough. This has been on my list to try for 2-3 years and finally went for a special occasion. Coco was an amazing bartender with great recs! Everything is good and buratta is exceptional. So is the complimentary focaccia - it was towering and the tallest I've ever seen. We walked in on a Friday night at 5pm and next available 2 top was 630 at the bar. You need a res here or be prepared to wait. We were willing to wait so went to Barrio nearby for pre-drinks. I will say the hostess was very well trained and explained that while the restaurant looked empty that it would be entirely full in 30 minutes. She was pleasant, she was right, and she was great at her job. I really enjoyed the bar seats once we were seated. Then again, I always love sitting at the bar. I ordered the Pork chop (cooked perfectly) with Shishito peppers. Wife had the gnocchi but it was more like mashed potatoes on top of a Ragu. I would try a pasta dish next time but couldn't pull the trigger for the $25 butter and black pepper pasta special (Cacio e Pepe). I get that it's hand made pasta, probably with imported butter and cheese, but that seems like a pretty high mark up without a protein. Panna Cotta desert was well balanced with crunchy caramelized nuts, a fruit sauce, and not too sweet. Nice ending to the meal. 1 Appetizer, entrees for two, 2 glasses of house wine each, 1 dessert, 1 coffee plus tax + tip = $170. About what I thought it would cost for a nice night there but just FYI.Check it out if you haven't. I would definitely return for another special date night.
Service was abysmal.
Food is drenched in oil. Overcooked pasta. Asked for no cheese or dressing on the salad. 2 times it was wrong. Restrooms need toilet paper.
Haughty attitude by maitre d' exemplified disappointing
Haughty attitude by maitre d' exemplified disappointing experience. Never going back. Try Sasha's next door - great staff and atmosphere makes it a great place to visit
This is not my first time dining at Louie's on Demunn.
Always an incredible meal. The service is attentive without being obstructive. The food (I always order the special entree) has NEVER disappointed. It's a little noisy too be "intimate" but the energy is so positive that it really doesn't matter too much. I always get a bottle of wine. The bartender tends to know more about the bottle only selection (understandable) than the service staff, but the honesty of the service staff saying that they don't know something is invaluable. She went and checked on the flavor profile of the wine WITH THE CHEF and it was perfect. Long story short, this is an incredible dining experience from the atmosphere (vibe), staff, food etc. I will keep coming back and recommending this restaurant. Thank you for making my birthday dinner celebration so wonderful. (I wish I remembered the server's name, but after a bottle of wine....You know who you are and you are wonderful)
Food is delicious.
Most that I have had here is amazing, and if it isn't amazing it's still really good. I only had one thing here that I didn't enjoy and they took it off my bill without me asking when they noticed we hadn't eaten more than a couple bites. The vibe is also really cool although does feel a bit crammed at times. Only thing they could really do better is logistics as they sometimes are overbooked and don't really know what to do with you. Oh they should also do takeout.
Absolutely the best restaurant in STL- from food to service.
I've been quite a few times and have never gotten something I didn't love. The Brussel sprouts are a must, get them every time!
The food here is amazing but I would say the excellent
The food here is amazing but I would say the excellent customer service is what makes this place brilliant. Our waitress Courtney was so attentive during our dinner. She went above and beyond to make sure our table was clean and that we were taken care of. I ordered the Chitarra and my date order the roasted chicken. We enjoyed our meal. Will be back.
Absolutely a wonderful experience at louie!! My boyfriend
Absolutely a wonderful experience at louie!! My boyfriend and I have returned many times since we first went and I cannot recommend this place enough.
An unexpected gem.
In town for my Clayton High School reunion, and was taking a walk down memory lane. Happened upon Louie at around 6 pm on a Thursday night. They squeezed us in at the bar in front of the pizza oven, as long as we agreed to finish by 7:45. Very glad we did—a superb meal in every way, with super-attentive service all around. Added entertainment was chatting with the wood-fire pizza-maker, who was phenomenally competent at his job and friendly to boot. Honestly, I can’t remember a more enjoyable evening in a restaurant in a long time. If I still lived here, I would return often.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Louie Clayton at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Louie Clayton page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Louie Clayton to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Louie Clayton!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
