Louie's 106 has been in Austin for quite some time. According to the awards in the restaurant, they were once
the place to go in Austin for fine dining. They now face stiff competition from a number of other fine dining establishments around town but still continue to hold their ground. The menu has a range of interesting dishes, mostly Mediterranean in style and many seafood. We started off with the pesto, mozzarella and tomato bruchetta- delicious! The cheese was very generous and tasty. ($8.50)
I decided to try The Original Baby Louie's Hot and Crunchy Trout. I think there's some rule that if the restaurant's name is in the title of the dish, it's probably going to be good. The fish was served with mango chutney sambal sauce and pecan rice. I loved every bite of it. The sauce and crunch complimented the fish perfectly. ($21.50)
Ryan tried the Classic Bouillabaisse, mostly because he had never tried it before and was curious. The dish has shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels and assorted seafood in saffron broth. According to Ryan, it was awesome. The broth was especially flavorful and delicious. ($20)
To finish off, we had the milk chocolate and white chocolate cake. ($6) It was tasty, but it was definitely the least exciting part of the meal. The entrees are superb but if you aren't sure about dessert, you won't be missing too much if you skip it.
