Oh my, our experience here at Loukinens was awesome. We were greeted with such gracefulness by the owner, Laurie Loukinen and all of her staff. It was a welcoming and pampered visit. The food and beverages was gourmet prepared and so delicious. The fish tacos and salmon salad was prepared with elegance. We were honored to also be visited by the Chef. I felt so pampered by everyone there in this lovely setting.I will drive to this location from Wisconsin again sometime.Thank you all for taking such good care of us. More...

The service was excellent. The menu was reasonably priced (especially for lunch) and had innovative menu items. Outdoor seating was nice, and parking was available behind the building. The chef even came out to say hello. More...

Very good creative dishes in a friendly atmosphere. The chef imbues care into every dish; and even the wine list is carefully curated for quality and compliment rather than price alone. If you are looking for a nice evening for a date, business dinner, or just celebrating a random Tuesday, Loukinens' is absolutely worthy. More...

Excellent in every aspect. They serve a low carb entree of seared sea bass on spaghetti squash resting on a bed of mashed cauliflower that fits perfectly into a low carb/Keto diet plan.

Wonderful experience. Regret that we did not find this place much sooner. Each staff member had an over the top personality followed up with patients and courtesy. The only down side to the experience came in the form of children trying to be adults but unable to achieve the maturity that is needed for that task. The old women that was written about in a previous review is far from what was insinuated. I would have to say well spoken, kind, considerate, attentive, attractive, well dressed, much needed asset to our community, respectful and most off all attentive to her staff and patrons needs would define her far better.The unwarranted actions of the children in the last review are obvious by the overwhelming positive reviews from past and present. The shame in all of this is that this small insignificant group of children that wrote the past review will never enjoy the company of this fine lady her husband or their devoted staff. Oh by the way sorry about the speech, reviews just get under my skin. Should have sat back down and had more jalapeño ice cream. Amy and Gregg More...

I visited this restaurant for the first time over the weekend, and what a wonderful meal I had! In my time, I've eaten at many restaurants all over North America. I think this may be the best one yet. A pure gem right here in Springfield. You'll not only get exceptional food here, that will make your taste buds come alive, the service is tremendous too! I implore you..... try this place out. Support a local establishment that has 5 star food/service! More...

The Manchurian Cauliflower: AmazingFrench Onion Soup: PerfectSalmon: FlawlessThe service was excellent, as was the ambiance. I'll be back whenever I'm in town! More...

the food is beyond amazing ! the wine list is the best i've ever seen ! the owners go above and beyond and see to it that their staff does as well. they have both in and outside seating. the ladies bathroom is very tastefully done ! this is a must see ! a total five star restaurant located right across the street frm the governors mansion. Our meal was the best we had in Springfield. The service was outstanding. Our server, Kyle was attentive and knowledgeable. The Chef/Owner thanked us before we left for coming in which I thought was a nice touch. I love supporting local places like this. Everything from the apps to the entrees was prepared to perfection. The prices were more than fair for the quality of food. This would be our first stop on any future visit to Springfield. More...

We were truly amazed at the experience we had from the owner and staff at Loukinens. They accommodated our reservation for 18 family members. We had a funeral service for my mother that day and went with extended family to the restaurant to share family time before traveling back to our homes. The owner especially welcomed us with great empathy and everyone went above and beyond to ensure our time there was a comforting one. We were blessed to see how the owner was so involved in taking care of our needs along with all the servers. The food was excellent and the atmosphere very pleasant. We want to thank everyone for their outstanding courtesy, compassion and hard work ethic. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and visit again when we travel to Springfield.

All I can say is WOW! The food here was beyond delicious! At our table we shared the Manchurian Cauliflower and it was scrumptious. I had the chef’s special which was as an unbelievable chicken cordon bleu sandwich. The sauces that the chef prepared mingled so well with the chicken. It was an eat every bite experience! I also had a cup of the BLT soup which all I can say is yum! If you live around Springfield, you should check this place out and if you don’t you should take a trip here just to come to this restaurant. More...

I could not have had a better experience than I did at this restaurant. My waiter was phenomenal. Extraordinarily engaging, and knowledgeable about the menu. What he didn't know about wines he found out in order to provide me with the best recommendations. The food was positively delicious, and perfectly portioned. Enough to be full, not so much to feel gluttonous. I even saved room for dessert, and although I had a difficult time choosing, I have to say that I don't think it would have been possible for me to go wrong. Finally, I also really enjoyed the location, right across the street from the Governor's Mansion. Pretty impressive, really. But I will be back for the service and food. Pricey, but worth every single cent. More...
