Hello. I’m Anthony (also known as Lou). I’m the owner/operator of this pint-sized eatery located at 621 A Del Ganado Road in San Rafael. All the recipes on the menu are 100% original and made with ingredients that inspire. I purchase lettuces and vegetables twice a week at the Marin Farmers market and all dressings, stocks and hot sauces are made in house. All spice mixes are toasted and ground fresh. My only goal is to serve food that comforts, nourishes, and excites the senses. If the window is open then you will find me here, preparing each dish with care and respect, the only way I know how. Give me a shout when you see me!

A LiTTLE MORE ABOUT LOU’S

WE ARE A SMALL OPERATiON (4 EMPLOYEES) WiTH A TiNY ‘KiTCHEN’ (ONE OVEN, 2 iNDUCTiON BURNERS, NO GAS HOOKUP). BECAUSE OF THE PHYSiCAL LiMiTATiONS OF THE KiTCHEN & FOCUS ON QUALiTY OUR OUTPUT iS A LOT LOWER THAN OTHER RESTAURANTS. THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE A MEAL iS TO CALL EARLY OR SHOW UP TO THE WiNDOW WHEN WE OPEN. DURiNG DiNNERTiME MOST CUSTOMERS CALL iN THEiR ORDER AT OR AROUND 4:15 P.M. SO THE SiNGLE PHONE LiNE WE HAVE MAY BUSY iN THE BEGiNNiNG OF OUR DiNNER SHiFT. PLEASE KNOW WE ARE TRYiNG TO REACH EVERY ONE OF THESE PHONE CALLS! BECAUSE THERE iS ONLY ONE LOU COOKiNG THE MEALS WE ALSO HAVE TO SPACE OUT PiCKUP TiMES TO ENSURE QUALiTY & THiS iS ONE OF THE [MANY] REASONS WE DON’T DO DELiVERY OR ONLiNE ORDERiNG. THE MENU CHANGES 2x DAY- THE LUNCH MENU iS USUALLY ONLiNE BY 10 A.M. & THE UPDATED DiNNER MENU BY 3 P.M. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND WE HOPE TO FEED YOU SOON.
