Detroit Free Press - October 1993 - Awarding Chef Louie 4-Star Rating
"The Finnans make Florida Avenue Eatery Fun"
"Regulars swear by the po-boys, especially the garlicky roast beef sandwiches by which area restaurants are often judged. Popular, too, are the crab cakes and such specialties as veal parmigiana, lasagna, meat loaf and macaroni and cheese." Renee Kientz, Communications Director
"A winning combination - Bananas Foster pancakes with Louie's praline sauce..."
Harry Shattuck
"Chef Louie's Cajun cooking is 100 percent genuine. He is the man who set the standard with dishes such as New Orleans classic blackened red fish, the old favorite jambalaya or his own shrimp Creole Willimae which he bills as a tribute to his mother."
"...the seafood pasta and Bourbon Street chicken that are among the Dishes that show just what heavenly things Louie can do with earthly ingredients."
