“We had dinner at Brendon’s for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff were welcoming and made our anniversary feel special. The experience was perfect! If you’re looking for something extra special, you just found it!“

“The menu prices are outdated. Add roughly $2.45 for the sandwiches and the combos. The brownies are now $2.50.“

“We were traveling and got a recommendation to try Osteria. The evening could not have been better. Our server Kristy was wonderful and had a great knowledge of the food offerings and their preparation . The food was fantastic. The experience was a 10 out of 10. Thank You Osteria“

“Stunning!!! Beautiful multi concept restaurant on the river!!! Service on point always never waiting for anything. Food. Is off the chain. Fresh , creative and delicious!!! The combo of location l, people and food make this place a must goto. You will thank me!!!“

“Small portions and slow service. Food was cold. Would not go back“

“This was absolutely fantastic food - definitely a party for your taste buds! We had waffle with bacon and the Atlantic salad. Both dishes were wonderful and very filling.“

“Would recommend showing up 5-10 mins early as we waited in line until being seated. Latin vibe, great ambiance. Our waitress was amazing! Food was excellent (Cuban croquettes, lobster pasta, salmon piccata). Upstairs seating is better than downstairs seating in my opinion so choose upstairs if you get a choice!“

“They are a good influence for the little ones and older teen agers“

“Great place 10 out of 10 I would try this place it's really good!“

“I recently visited Moby Dick, and I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the experience was. The place has a casual, no-frills atmosphere that lets the food take center stage. I ordered the kabob platter with rice and a side of their cucumber yogurt, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The meat was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the rice was fluffy with just the right amount of saffron flavor. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the meal felt hearty but clean.

Service was efficient and friendly, and the staff seemed genuinely invested in making sure everyone had what they needed. The only reason I’m holding back from a full five stars is that the dining area felt a little cramped during peak hours, and it could get a bit noisy. Still, the food more than made up for it. Moby Dick is a great spot when you’re in the mood for something flavorful and satisfying without breaking the bank.“

“The best Indian restaurant in Louisville! I’ve eaten at most of them and shalimar is always a level above. There is an authentic aromatic richness to their cuisine that leaves an impression. The service is wonderful and the atmosphere is warm. Simple and elegant at the same time. Great place to recommend to anyone who wants to try Indian for the first time.“

“Very clean and great service“

“Been going to Shark's ?for a while, I love everything about them especially the pan fried oysters and catfish nuggets ?. They have the best cook ? in Kentucky and the best hospitality....Jay and Leonard they are the best!!!! The food is super, the restaurant is very clean..“

“We celebrated our anniversary here yesterday with a delicious lunch. Our server, Amanda, was so friendly and helpful! Hubby had the cod and fried oysters and declared the oysters were the best he ever had. My shrimp basket was loaded with huge shrimp and the Cajun fries were very good. We topped that great meal off with complimentary slices of strawberry and chocolate cheesecakes for our anniversary! We will definitely be back!“

“We have been enjoying the fish from this Moby Dick location for many years. For the first time today we were somewhat disappointed. Imagine my shock when I unwrapped our Whale of a Sandwiches and discovered the very small fish fillets. Two pieces were no more than 2/3 the size of the bread and very thin. Only one of the 4 fish fillets among the 2 sandwiches covered the bread. All were thinner than expected. The prices have steadily gone up over the years, which I have no problem with. But, for the price paid, the fish should be significantly larger.“

“Make sure to say hello to Chris behind the bar!! And order a Shrimp Wreck Mary.“

“Best cozy atmosphere… best wings and smoked tuna dip out there!!!!“

“Stopped in to get fish for lunch! Love their food! Cheyenne and Stephen were taking care of everyone and their service was top notch! This place was swamped and they were never rude, and treated every customer with a smile on their face! I was impressed, especially with Cheyenne bc the customers were running her to death, but she just kept smiling and doing her thing! Thank you to the O’Bryan crew for a great experience! The food was cooked perfectly! Everything was great!“

“I have eaten there several times and whatever I order has been delicious. My favorite Mexican restaurant“

“Our grouper and fried fish and chips were excellent! Sides were also very good. This was our first visit and we look forward to becoming regulars!“

“I love this place! We always get the best food and the best service. Tonight our server was KiKi. She was awesome!!��“

“Out of all the "fast food" fish places, this one is the best! Personally, I order the Fish and Clams when I go, you dont have to order that but you're also entitled to have a wrong opinion of the best thing to eat, Perfect place for a 3rd date, would willingly fight a goose in the parking lot to get inside if I had to, inside its exactly what you would expect... old people taking up all the tables like some sort of early dinner club, I believe I was the only person not wearing geriatric tennis shoes out of all of my visits there. I feel like the restaurant is slightly misleading because they dont actually have whale on the menu, it seems like basic white fish, the same as the old people inside (basic and white). Overall have went, have returned and Lord willing will return again.“

“I noticed they have more seafood in the bag than other places. customer service was good and they quick too.“

“Great food at a reasonable price. The fish is delicious. Professional and courteous service.“

“I am gluten intolerant and while the menu is not GF specific the waiter understood gluten intolerance and suggested dishes I would be comfortable with.“

“My sister and I had lunch at Ramsi’s today. The crispy pedal salad is consistently delicious. I highly recommend it. The entrée that I ordered today was good but the chicken was overdone. Ramsi the owner came out to apologize and made it more than right for us . TOP NOTCH CLASS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thanks Ramsi we will definitely be back.“

“Our food was fresh and HOT! Didn’t wait long to get our food. The fish, fried cauliflower, onion rings and hush puppies were all amazing. Was worried about portion size because of other reviews, but we def got more than enough. No complaints on our food!“

“I like Brian the bar tender. He is nice, friendly and does a good job. He sure knows how to make a good manHatton I would recommend this place to every body.“

“My visit to this Moby Dick fish restaurant left me disappointed. The fish sandwich didn't taste like I recalled from earlier years. I don't know if the batter or the oils in which the fish is fried has changed or if it was my taste buds being a bit off from hours earlier brushing my teeth with toothpaste and mouthwash rinse. Consequently, I'm not going to leave the three star rating I would if I knew for certain it wasn't my taste buds affecting the taste. Even still, the fish sandwich was hot and well prepared and tasted fine, but it seemed just a bit off from the exceptional taste I recalled from a regular visits a few years earlier when I regularly patronized the Moby Dick in St Matthews before it closed. I'll try it again soon and make sure I am hours away from having brushed and rinsed. Ha! I appreciate the Moby Dick establishment and that we still have it in Louisville, so I hope my taste buds were off.“

“What not to like, service and food is wonderful. Just priced a bit $$$$$$. But, why not.“

“So the last two visits to capital grill have been lack luster mainly due to service - our waiter was ok but had to request water twice and service was slow then to top it off I never received my leftovers - he said he would package them up and my hubby got his but mine were not included! I ate 1/3 of my $86 steak and should have had spinach and mushrooms as well! Very disappointing! Would expect that service level at Outback but not the capital grille!“

“One of my favorite restaurants! The food is always so good and the staff are consistently welcoming and friendly. And did I mention how amazing the food and drinks are?
The patio is a huge plus, spacious, covered for rain, and heated when it’s a little chilly, which makes it comfortable year-round.
Always my first choice for dinner out!“

“we absolutely love frequent visits to Pass times..the fish is down right amazing ....but the service is exceptional and makes our trip from Shelbyville. there aren't alot of places you can go and the quality and service are both exceptional and y'all are making it happen. we enjoy it every time. thanks for all you do.“

“Louisville staple! Delicious fish and fries. The fish is thick and not too much breading. Definitely get your moneys worth! Don’t forget to get the onions on your sandwich. So good! Look forward to it every year on Saturdays. Make sure you get there before they run out!!“

“Erin was awesome. Best server ever.“

“Just moved to Louisville 2 months ago and I can’t get enough of this delicious food. Easily one of my favorite places here.“

“This place was wonderful! Yesterday was my first time coming to Grassa Gramma and my husband and I went for an early Valentine's date. The decor and atmosphere was breath taking! Just so gorgeous! Our waiter was kind and gave us the specials for the day. I ordered the baked seafood scampi and my husband ordered the cacio e pepe and we loved it! I even reheated my pasta today and it tastes just as delicious as it did yesterday!“

“Excellent food ,lot of choices and great people/service! I d recommend giving it a try!“

“The best old fashion cocktail we have ever had. The staff were friendly and food was excellent. We will definitely go back.“

“Food was prepared so well!! All our dishes were nice portions, excellently prepared. Sangria was better than we had in Spain! Waitress was very busy but served us well The only big negative was the noise level. You could not hear folks at your table We would return considering the food was top notch! Yummy mushroom soup, crepe, meat croquettes, empanadas, etc.“

“This place is a 10/10! The atmosphere and staff were AMAZING!! We came to Louisville for the day to find my wedding dress. After I said yes to the dress we decided to try Mussel and Burger Bar! They made my day 1000x extra special, took care of my food and drinks, and even gave me a platter of desserts to try! We are coming back to Louisville for my bachelorette and we will definitely be visiting this place again! The seafood burger was also delicious!“

“Friendliest staff!! Most delicious food! All around perfect dining experience!!“
