My husband and i been to this restaurant several times but always forget to give them a review. They deserve 5 star for everything. The buffet menu is just what we love with snow crag legs, prime beef, coconut shrimp … The service is really good. We always feel welcomed here! The big plus is they have fireworks for weekend and at the restaurant patio is the best view! Highly recommended!!

Buffet: $32 adults, $15 kids from 4-11yrs. I went there yesterday, It has a really good atmosphere. The waitress was very friendly and attentive she could also speak Spanish/English. They don’t have many food options in the buffet, and they serve the food to you, which is fine in my opinion. There are flies everywhere and it’s very hot outside, BUT the view is irresistible. The inside of the restaurant has AC, but the wait time was around 20/30 minutes. Restrooms are fine, nothing fancy, definitely clean. Recommend for friends and adults, not to children since they might not eat as much.

Had a wonderful experience here! The buffet offered great food options for such a good price. The seafood from the buffet was fresh and flavorful. The staff were super friendly and engaging. You cannot beat the sunset view here and the fireworks were the icing on the cake. My family and I came here twice while on our week visit.

Mixed experience. Wouldn’t recommend for food but if you do drinks with a view it is great!

This place needs some serious improvements and repairs. Some TLC to the facility would do it some good. We attended a work function and a seafood buffet was provided. The food was not great… Still saw a lot of folks visiting the restaurant. It could be that the location is great or the drinks at the bar (which I did not have).

I absolutely love this place! My family and I have been going here for years, and we’ve always received excellent service, and the food is always amazing. If you get the opportunity to sit outside and escórieme a sunset, take it! It’s always beautiful.

Louie’s food quality has steadily gone down over the past couple of years. The crablegs are barely palatable, frozen for too long and rubbery. The shrimp is mediocre at best. Prime rib is ok, but not high grade. Stay away from mixed drinks, sub-par and low grade for the expense. My last trip as an example, 3 adults 1 child, all buffet, 2 cokes, 1 rum and coke and 1 water, $180 bucks. Evening fireworks are nice and atmosphere is great as always. My recommendation is to find a better restaurant on the island. We go there as tradition, no longer because it’s the best on the island.

The buffet was ok. I did enjoyed the all you can eat snow crabs. Our waitress was sweet and refilled our drinks as needed. This place needs some major updates though. It is very old looking and ran down. Hopefully they will do some remodeling to make it look nicer.

Tried this place again a year later. Terrible service. Couldn’t get help and ended up leaving. We won’t be returning.
