Loukinens' on 4th

While performing job related duties I stopped in for lunch.

I had a breaded fish type slider with sauce and special fries along with a crab type soup.

I have to tell you it's was tremendous

The service was great as I sat at the bar. And the atmosphere of the place was so peaceful.

I'm so glad I popped in for a bite.

And I have to tell you the meal was under $30 , yes you heard me

If you're ever down visiting our fine capitol you must stop in , like I say , you'll be glad you did

If you're looking for a nice dinner in downtown Springfield this is your spot. We were so pleased with the decor, the service and the food.
The food was absolutely amazing!!!!

Loukinens' never disappoints! Love the presentation on all meals and appetizers! Classy but doesn't require a dress code. $$$

It is true to the description, casual upscale dining. I got the Loukinens Punch for a drink and it tasted just like juice and still had me a little tipsy. I forgot the name of the meal but I had gotten the special and it tasted amazing and was so filling. The restaurant really specializes in seafood. The service was very kind and even the chef made it a point to come out and check on everyone

The food was excellent, the service was excellent. We were seated right away without a reservation, and the ambience was quite pleasant.
The only thing that left a bit of a sour taste in our mouths was a surcharge on our bill for using a credit card.

The meatloaf cupcakes, were absolutely delicious. We had the best server too! Very nice, patient, and provided us great recommendations

This review is based on a take out lunch order only. My mom has dined in here a bunch as it's super close to her work, but while I was in SPI we ordered takeout only.

For two of us to share we got the grilled chicken fajita sandwich with rosemary Parmesan fries and from the fancy grilled cheese section of the menu we got the creamy spinach and artichoke sandwich with potato salad as the side.

Sandwich one: I've never ordered a fajita sandwich so this was a big win for me. The bread was properly buttered and toasted and the chicken fajita filling had great flavor. I love thin fries and their version is a good one.

Sandwich two: if you know me or you've read my reviews, I love grilled cheese sandwiches!! Love, love, love them!! Especially creative and fancy ones. If you love warm spinach and artichoke dip, this sandwich is for you. The bread was perfectly toasted and as described the inside spread was creamy with great melting and tasting cheeses; Fontina and Gruyère. The only miss from all that we ordered was the potato salad. It should have been called raw onion salad. It was loaded with them!! I do not eat raw onions, so this was inedible for me.

The menu changes with the seasons and according to my mom they have a delicious butternut squash soup in the fall. I hope to not still be in SPI this visit when fall hits, but I would definitely return here.

Classy place in downtown Springfield, about as classy as you can get. If you're around here that is. Loukinen's On 4th also lets you know what street it's on. A lot of fancy food for around here. The prices really aren't that bad considering the good quality.

About the most expensive things are drinks. It's about $12 or more for a cocktail, which isn't surprising because of course this is a pretty classy place. This time we opted for some cheap beers, or the cheapest they had last time. It doesn't have a whole lot for vegans, but they have an Impossible Burger. It's about $14, which isn't that bad for this kind of place. This comes with a side, and we each got a salad. For a salad, it was pretty impressive looking. The Impossible Burgers were cooked without becoming hard as a rock, as these can be sometimes.

Good place for fancy drinks and food. It's not that bad of a price for the portions and quality. There's plenty of things for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

Dynamite menu selection with choices in many proteins.... Beef, pork, chicken, lamb, fish, crustacean etc. The dishes are always thoughtfully constructed with pairing that are balanced and make perfect sense. Terrific wine selection, a few craft beers and the service is top shelf. Chef Loukinen typically will come follow up with each table to inquire of the quality of his delicious creations. The best restaurant in Springfield, by an absolute mile in my opinion.

Delicious appetizers -we had the pork belly on toast. Salads with unique with cranberry drawing. Fabulous short ribs and the rolls with rosemary lemon butter and were delicious. Great sides and beef dishes. The creamsicle crème brûlée was delicious!
