Louie's Wine Dive

My review is based on brunch, and it was a fabulous experience!

Five of us girls ended a bachelorette weekend by dining here on a Sunday morning.  We were promptly seated and our server came over with water right away.  We opted for the bottomless mimosas.  $11 well spent!  One of the girls decided she wanted a bloody mary, which was amazingly delicious.  Our drinks came out fairly quickly.

I thought the brunch food options were really good, and I actually had trouble deciding what I wanted.  Luckily, one of my friends had difficulty choosing as well so we decided to share two different things.  We went with the croque madame and the biscuits and gravy.  The croque madame was good, but not that big.  The biscuits and gravy were awesome!  The chorizo made the gravy.  I would have licked the plate clean if I wasn't in public.  Another girl enjoyed her french toast and the two other girls both got the Harvest Benedict, which they both loved!  The veggies were definitely fresh.  

Our server was friendly and attentive, but the problem was that there is only one pitcher of mimosas for all the servers to share.  So if our glasses went empty, we had to wait for our server to get his hands on the pitcher.  It was kind of ridiculous for an all you can drink brunch.  One pitcher...seriously?!

Louie's Wine Dive is a cute spot and a great addition to Waldo.  It's unpretentious and offers up good food at reasonable prices.

Deviled Eggs.  Ah-maze-ing . . . and you get 6 for the price!  Great appetizer to share.

Oh and they have a downstairs with live music - this might be my new favorite place!

Lunch

I will admit I don't have the most sophisticated palate but I do have a palate.  My daughter and I stopped in here for lunch and were disappointed to the core. It was not busy but took forever for a waiter to get to the table.  

I got some gourmet hamburger from hell. It had pulled pork on top of it and was dry and bland. It was cooked to order but even smelled funky. I think I ate 3 bites of it.  My daughter tried a bite and was grossed out.  We are Americans don't try to mess with our burgers . My daughter order the chicken Alfredo...it was bland and she thought it was made with canned chicken. It tasted like milk. When u serve crappy bland food at least have salt and pepper on the table.  You have to ask the waiter for shakers.

We sat in a really funky booth that wasn't comfortable and should have left before we ordered.  

I am still mad I spent 30 bucks on crappy food. If I
ever go there again I will have to get drunk to enjoy the place. The only thing they got right is putting dive in the name of the joint.
