My wife and I were at Lou Cas for a getaway date. Our server Jasmine R was wonderful. We had a very nice relaxing time . My wife had the Stuffed Shrimp and I had the Halibut special. Both were exquisite as usual for the restaurant. We recommend Lou Cas for the fine food and the BYOB option. Be sure to bring your favorite wine, etc. with you as there aren’t any liquor stores near by.
