About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
Lou's is the perfect place for any occasion, whether that be happy hour with friends, watching the game, family dinners, or special occasions! Designed by renowned architectural firm Douglas Fredrikson Architects, Lou’s dining room gives off a cool-clean, stone-and-steel vibe paired with a wonderful indoor-outdoor feel when the massive garage-style sliding doors are opened to a rich green lawn and golf course. The bar features outdoor seating on two sides when the windows are drawn up, offering spectacular views of the setting sun gleaming off Papago Buttes.

    We have reserved at Lou’s in the past for the exceptional outdoor views. We reserved an outdoor table for eight this time and we stuck in a corner with no view at all. We bragged to our out of town guests about how beautiful it would be and were super disappointed.
