Finding a good wine bar is tricky for me because while I love wine, my husband prefers cocktails. LouVino is a perfect spot for us because they have a great menu of creative and tasty cocktails to compliment the spectacular wine offerings. The wine list is perfect for everyone, no matter if you prefer sweet to dry or somewhere in between. When we’re out with friends and trying to find something to fit all our different tastes, the servers are super knowledgeable and always able to guide us to a perfect bottle. Let’s not forget the food! It’s definitely not just an afterthought like you get at other wine bars. And it’s great for weekend brunch as well as dinner. Every dish we’ve tried at LouVino has been spectacular. After my former favorite Indy wine bar closed, I’m so glad we found LouVino!

One of my favorite brunch places on Mass Ave. I typically get the chicken and waffles or shrimp and grits. Their breakfast tacos are good and the fried green tomatoes too. I got the breakfast platter this time plus their fried chicken. My partner had the croissant BLT with chicken. Nice spot for a date or brunch with a couple friends.

This wonderful restaurant has the best brunch menu I have found. The Eggs Benedict is off the hook, protine changes weekly. Rest of the menu is for anyone, Veg included. Staff will always take care of you with beautiful smiles!

LouVino-love the dim lighting, the kind staff, and the low rumble of city buzz on a Friday evening. Their beignets are good, but the elote gnocchi is better. Smooth atmosphere, creative menu.

Wow! This place is so good! The menu is small but everything on it is delicious. The gnocchi and scallops were sold out when we ordered at 8p. So I’m thinking the gnocchi and scallops must be REALLY good but you have to come early to get them? Anyways, we had the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were so crispy and flavorful! We had the vegetable risotto and the chicken and waffle for entrees. The portions were great and the flavor profiles were intense. Whatever they did to that chicken made it juicy and full of flavor. Our waitress , Jess, was so good. She gave us great recommendations and was never far from our table. I highly recommend this restaurant. We are only in town for the night for the Titans game but the next time we are in Indy we will be back. I’m actually thinking about coming in the morning before the game for brunch.

My friends and I are eating our way up and down Mass Ave and our next stop was LouVino. This is a very beautiful restaurant and decorated in an upscale fasion. The food was absoulty amazing! We got a couple appetizers, a coctail, and a delicious dinner. We were lucky and had the opportunity to try some wonderful coctails for 50% off. I got the Espresso Yourself and it was so good. Our server was very attentive, helpful, and so sweet. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the options!

Lou Vino completely went above and beyond our expectations for our son and daughter in law’s Rehearsal Dinner! From planning ahead with Marissa, to being allowed to set up early the day of, the entire staff's helpfulness, the waitresses that evening, the food (WOW!!!)...it was the PERFECT kickoff for their wedding weekend. There is not a single aspect of the entire process that could have gone better!
