What people say, in short
Many people recommend Luwow, with two diners pointing to its tiki theme and one patron liking its retro American surf-style atmosphere. One patron says it is a whiskey den for whiskey fans, another calls it wonderful, and one says the food is underrated. One patron found it too small to get into, with no balcony and a laneway location that limits people-watching, and says it does not take hen groups or larger parties.
