Louie's On The Lake - Moravia

Went on the 3rd of July. They were busy but not slammed when we got there, near the end of the dinner rush... many tables cleared out before we even got our food. Food : pretty good all around, nothing was stellar. Ribs were the standout. The cauliflower pizza was WAY overcooked (dry, burnt crust all around and black cheese at the edges). They didnt care, didnt offer to make a new one or remove from the bill... my 9 year old was starving so he ate half the pie and didnt touch the crust. normally he'd have eaten all of it in one go (as he does monthly at Mod Pizza with their cauliflower pizza) Service needs improvement : slow (took 45 mins to get food), and mainly from teens... so lost a star for that. They didn't seat us where we asked even though it would have only been a 5 min wait... then they proceeded to give it to 10 teens that walked in 5 minutes after they sat us (party of 9). Inside the building is hot and humid.. and it wasn't that hot of humid outside that day we spend the entire day outside already.

We decided on this restaurant based on recommendations from the Preserve Golf Course staff. We had a hard time getting a table they thought they could remember everyone waiting for a table in order and if they wanted inside or outside. Too much confusion. We finally got a table and ordered the ribs fall off the bones ribs. The service was good and we talked to Tim, the owner for quite a while. The salad bar was subpar.

Good meal. Service was decent. Earlier in night so not a lot of other people. Our table started with an artichoke appetizer. Most of our table ordered the NY strip, I tried to to substitute for a baked potato and was told that wash not an option. A smashed potato showed up. So, indirectly able to meet my request. They didn 't have a kids meal but here able to make a few kids options. My kids shared a pepperoni pizza and they both really enjoyed it. Overall a decent meal and good service. Probably be back next time we are down this way....

The best thing I can say is that the Bud Light was cold. The Blue Moon was warm. We stopped for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon and ordered sandwiches. The steak sandwich was terrible!!! Rubbery and severely undercooked. I ordered a Cuban but wish I would have chose something else. It's a cute little restaurant on the lake but very simple. Don't expect too much. On a bright note, our waitress was very nice and we had good service.

I've been here twice. First time I had the Cuban and the second time I had this amazing salad. They put a little bistro twist on their menu selections. I don't think I've had a better tasting salad in a long time. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. About $10 per person for an entree. Good service, very attentive. Plus lake marina view and you can sit out on the deck and eat. A must try when you are at Rathbun lake!
