About Louis Restaurant
Live music from a singer and pianist anchors Louis Restaurant, an Italian American restaurant in Manchester at 3 Hardman Square, where the dining room follows a Golden Age theme. A champagne trolley is part of the service. The menu includes sticky short rib, and the apple pie arrives with cinnamon ice cream. At the bar, classic cocktails are poured straight up, and a list of world wines runs alongside them. Booth seating includes a front row beside the entertainment. Guests can check their coats on arrival.

Customer Review Summary
Live music is what diners raise most at Louis, from the Italian jazz-inspired feel and a singer and pianist playing through dinner to Motown singers, and reviewers say it creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere for birthdays and wedding days. Food comes close behind, described as fresh and full of flavour. The sticky short rib is called extremely tender, and the apple pie with cinnamon ice cream is praised for not being overly sweet. One reviewer enjoyed the champagne trolley, and another is already planning a return for the Sunday lunch. Service is the third recurring note, with several calling the staff attentive, friendly and welcoming. One group had a booth at the front with room to dance, and a wedding couple found a note waiting on their table. Reviewers also describe how problems were handled: one guest had a meal replaced because she was not happy with it, and another table received replacement drinks after a wine bottle was knocked over.

“An overall exceptional experience; from service to food and entertainment, my husband and I had the absolute best time. The wedding note on our table, desert and replacement drinks for the knocked over wine bottle were also really appreciated. We were especially impressed by the singer and pianist who played throughout our meal. We will remember Louis' fondly for being a part of our wedding day - we will definitely be back! A special thank you to Kalina who I believe was our main server - she as well as the rest of the team were really attentive, warm and welcoming.”
