Went for a Mothers Day brunch. The staff was very nice and hospitable. But the food selection for a buffet was alittle disappointing. There were WAY TOO MANY people in a single area with little to no separation from you and the next table. I felt like I was in a cafeteria waiting in line.

I have held at least 5 parties at A Villa Louisa and I attended the Sunday Brunch many times (preCovid). The staff is amazing and always accommodating and the food is so delicious. My guests have always been pleased with their food & services, which is why I continue to come back. Thank you to the A Villa Louisa staff for always making my events so special and for doing such a great job! I highly recommend them!
