Through the years I’ve been dining at Louie’s, I’ve noticed there is very little turnover in staff in this family-owned establishment. While I love the atmosphere at Nick’s, listening to live music and enjoying cocktails on the deck, I prefer the quiet charm and delicious food found at Louie’s Prime.Īlthough the food is the star of the show at Louie’s Prime, the staff are some of the best at any restaurant I’ve frequented. Nick’s Lakehouse has a massive deck overlooking beautiful Lake Harmony, which is ideal for laidback outdoor dining. While Louie’s Prime is more of a relaxed fine dining establishment, Nicks and Shenanigans are more casual with a spirited atmosphere that includes live entertainment. On our drive around the lake to Louie’s Prime, we pass the always busy Nick’s Lakehouse and Shenanigans. A long-time resident of Lake Harmony, Nick opened two restaurants/bars on Lake Harmony Shenanigans and Nick’s Lake House, both of which are still thriving today under the management of his son and daughter-in-law. Louis learned the business from his dad, Nick, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 72. Owned by Louis and Cyndi Pantages, Louie’s Prime is a go-to spot for a casual dinner at the bar with friends or a special occasion. Louie’s is in the site of one of my former favorites - the Close Quarters.

I’ve been going to Lake Harmony for as long as I can remember to enjoy the scenery, activities, and restaurants. Louie’s Prime has a cozy, rustic atmosphere and warm hospitality that feels like home. Located in the midst of the beauty of Lake Harmony is a restaurant I love. Seafood lovers may enjoy this Cajun Shrimp Tostada dish with avocado corn salsa, grilled pineapple, coconut lime sauce.
