Really want a place that showcase grouper. Louis Louis came up as the best grouper spot and tell him. They have a very small menu so the whole party has to want to eat one of those items. Our party opted for the pan, grouper, black, and grouper, and crabcakes. They're all very yummy. The platters are pretty big so would suggest coming in very hungry. You were able to swap outside so something to think about before you come in. The salad and mashed potatoes were super good! The grit cake was not my favorite. This is a great place for large parties as well however, they do get busy and I would suggest getting here early. Definitely a must try if you're feeling hungry!

My family has been to Louis Louis a few times and we love it. Best value luxury restaurant in the Santa Rosa beach area. Serving has always been great. I do wish their menu was provided at the table instead of online/on a black board. Restaurant is unique and has a great environment. For transparency I would think that this should be a $$$. We got 2 entrees and an appetizer and it was $100 after tip.

What an amazing place! Had the blackened grouper with grit cake - WOW! What an amazing dish! Service is top notch! Inside has a New Orleans vibe - red lightning with old chandeliers. Very cool place! Been here several times and it never disappoints!

We LOVE Louis Louis! We visit the Destin area often and always like to make sure Louis Louis is one of our stops. They have the best fresh seafood with yummy sauces. Melanie was our waitress tonight and she was so sweet and helpful letting me pick and choose to make my meal exactly what I wanted. Love the blackened grouper which is a large piece of fish. It usually comes on the mashed potatoes, but I LOVE the grit cake and lemon butter capers sauce. Melanie took my special order and made it happen. The restaurant has both indoor/outdoor and bar seating with a super cool vibe. Red lights and tons of decor leaving no wall untouched. The fried green beans were tasty as well and were a huge quantity. Too many for just the two of us so it would be great for a larger party. Highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area. YUMMY!!

Great food and service! There's only about 5 entrees on the menu, but they do them all very well. The pan sauteed grouper with capers and brown butter sauce was delicious. Came with mashed potatoes that were equally as good, probably the best I've ever tasted. My better half had the blackened grouper with bacon cheddar grits cake and thought it was the bee's knees. Service was quick and attentive. Cool thing is that almost every entree can be made gluten free, with no issues. A little bit of a hike from Destin, but very much worth the trip.

The food was good - not amazing, but still good! This place has been a staple go-to for my family for years whenever we visit! It's perfect for families who want better food than a Joe's Crab Shack! There's nothing "instagramable" about this place, but it's still a nice place for dinner! I got the shrimp and crawfish and it was a bit dry- needed more sauce and the gumbo was a bit warm. It's an LA 3 but a Destin 5, so I'm giving it a 4 star review. I believe they're still Family owned which is also awesome!

Right when we walked in we were greeted by the super nice hostess. We had a reservation and the table wasn't ready immediately so we sat at the bar until it was ready. I love that they had a text to notify that our table was ready. The restaurant is decorated in a super fun way that gives it an awesome feel and an atmosphere that is really enjoyable. Now for the food. It was incredible! We got the gumbo and the egg rolls as an appetizer. Both were so good. Then for dinner we got the grouper and the shrimp and crawfish pasta. The pasta had SO MUCH flavor! I will definitely come back!

This is one of those places that listened to the experts, do a few things and do them really well! So happy we ventured down to Santa Rosa for this great dining experience. We had a short wait, and we ordered immediately and our food was out before our drinks. I had the crab cakes and they were wonderful perfectly seared crab with very little "filler" and the best mashed potatoes I have ever put in my mouth. (I had Jeff Ruby's on the Friday before and said the same thing so I was in mashed potato heaven this week LOL) The green salad was light and bright and a great counter point to other items on the plate. The hubby had the pan sautéed grouper and my tiny taste I got to have of that was amazing! Ok, this is where I am just going to sound old...this restaurant was LOUD. Like hard to talk to the person across from you loud. If you have a member of your party that has sensory issues this is not the place to go. We will be back, but I think we will try to eat outside. I loved all the décor and our service was on point. When a wrong entrée was served it was fixed in 2 minutes.

Louis Louis is fun and quirky with a short but mighty menu. This was a random find on our Florida vacation and we all thought it was so good. The portions are LARGE so come with an appetite. There is not many options for vegetarians or vegans so if you are those then this is not the place for you. The chicken special was amazing and I shared the lasagna with my mother in law ( the only vegetarian option) and it was also super good. Overall the experience was good! The ambiance kitschy and fun. It totally transports you elsewhere. Our server was great and explained all the items throughly.
