| - I lived in Columbus for a while and I used to go to the Bar Louie in Easton every so often. I was always VERY pleased when I would go there, so I was excited to go to the Bar Louie in Legacy Village.
When I walked in, my first thought was, ohh, okay. This place is cool. Most of the people in there were young, attractive professionals. I was like, woo-whoo, nice spot. Good find.
So we go in the back (because I like to chat a lot when I go out to eat) and we order. My friend orders a Blue Moon... they were out. He then orders another beer. The waiter comes back, says they don't have that beer, either. My friend is then like, okay, what beers DO you have? And then he picks one of those.
So then we order. He orders buffalo wings and I order a blackberry something brie salad. I forget what the name was exactly. But it was supposed to have some fruit and some brie in it. I also ordered a side of mac & cheese. (What can I say... I was in the mood for comfort food!) The waiter leaves, then comes back to say they don't have any mac & cheese, either.
At this point we are all laughing. The waiter was really cool. I liked him. He was really apologetic. The manager came over and was like, well, we got hit bad this weekend and we're due to get a shipment in tomorrow. But he didn't seem to really care all that much. I dunno, I was kind of over it by that point.
We got our food. My salad was super small -- it looked like a side salad. There were four blackberries, three small pieces of brie, three little squares of fruit. The lettuce was wilted, there was barely any dressing on it. It was pretty tasteless.
We had shared two appetizers as well -- sliders and spinach artichoke dip. The dip was really good. We ate most of that. The majority of the sliders came home with me and my dog ate most of them. They were meh... I've honestly had better sliders from the frozen food section of the grocery store.
The buffalo wings were quite good. I tried a couple. I would get those again.
I forgot to mention -- I got a strawberry fizz. It was quite potent. As in, it seemed like there was a lot of alcohol in it. Surprisingly so. The taste was all right I guess. Not great.
Overall, I was unimpressed. With all the great restaurants around Legacy Village, there probably won't be any need for me to come back here. Then again, maybe if I came when the kitchen was stocked, it would've been a different experience. But as I'm reading the other reviews on here, it seems unlikely.
Service was great, atmosphere was great, drink and food options and execution were not. If this place had better food and drink, I would've given it a 4 or maybe even a 5. But overall the experience was dismally disappointing. If I go back I will try other stuff on the menu and tweak this review if necessary.
