“The service is always great, but the food is top notch!!! They’ve catered my two Daughters weddings, and have done a wonderful job. Everyone loves the pork barbecue, but the favorite is the loaded mashed potato’s.”

Highly recommended.”

“It's rare that we have a date night on a weekday with two young children, but tonight was the exception. When I realized our anniversary was falling on a Wednesday, Perso was the first place that came to mind. Perso's Prix Fixe Menú is available every Sunday through Wednesday and offers a three course meal for $29. It's no secret that I'm a fine dining enthusiast; but who doesn't love a bargain? If you're looking for a nice night out without breaking the bank, this is your spot. Perso sits at the corner of Oak and Shelby in the same location as the former Square Cut Pizza. The giant windows in the front provide an abundance of natural light. The interior has a modern industrial vibe with painted exposed brick, plants, and Edison bulbs hanging on pendants. One wall with wooden slats gives a Scandinavian feel to the main dining area. It's a small-ish intimate space with a beautiful patio. For my first course, I chose Crostino Di Tonno- olive oil poached tuna, stracciatella, pickled celery, and Calabrian chili. I followed my first course with olive oil poached swordfish, corn chowder, and golden zucchini scapece. For dessert, I had the chef's choice: apple strudel with whipped cream cheese. My husband chose heirloom tomato with roasted eggplant, bagna couda, and fine herbs. For his main course, he had pork tenderloin with edamame, beef dashi, and fine herbs. We both opted for the chef's choice for dessert. I tasted each of his courses and they were every bit as delicious as my own. The edamame provided the perfect texture and his tenderloin dashi tasted gravy-esque without being overly heavy. Mostly notable, besides the insane deal for such decadence, was the fresh flavor combinations throughout. Our table had fresh rosemary as a centerpiece. The corn chowder was right up my alley. I could've licked my bowl if I wasn't trying to pretend to have a bit of class. The swordfish was tender, juicy, and not overly fishy. The tuna flatbread was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The mint on top of my whipped cream cheese truly set it apart. My lavender Manhattan was earthy and smoky, not just in flavor. It was literally smoking. My husband had an old-fashioned. Neither of us were disappointed. Our server, Amanda, was phenomenal. She offered recommendations. She visited our table to ensure we were satisfied the perfect number of times. Her warm demeanor was professional while also being personable. She was everything we hope for in a server. Perso's Sunday through Wednesday Prix Fixe Menú is hands-down one of the best opportunities for an affordable night out. That being said, once you get a taste of what they have to offer, you'll be sold on splurging any day of the week.”

“We were greeted by friendly service,, and the food was delicious.”

“Menu is small, but "bourbon and the bird" sandwich was delicious. Great sauce and great texture/breading for the seitan chicken. The owner was funny and personable too. Very casual, order at the counter place. Updated from previous review on 2025-01-03”

“Lovely atmosphere, quick friendly service, with complementary tea and soup samples that were extra comforting on a cold night. Baklava lovers will be pleasantly surprised as well. Will definitely be back!”

“this was our first time there we surprised my oldest son who turned 13 today (4-17) the servers were very nice and food was amazing”

“So much easier on our emotions than visiting a shelter, so you can interact with the fur babies and relax until you reach a decision. Great coffee from Quill's Coffee and yummy snacks! Amazing volunteers who help to make the entire experience very relaxed and chill.”

“The pizza was amazing. It’s for sure a good pizza spot if you are pregnant and craving pizza. They wear gloves bringing your food and the music is fair it’s not to loud”

“So glad we happened upon this wonderful gem!”

“Leland did such a wonderful job today! Definitely will come back!”

“Love ❤️ her sweet potato pies! And warm environment…..”

“Always a favorite place to eat at . Food is always delicious and service is great .”

“delicious and good price and friendly folks. big big big fan. im in iowa right now typing this because i miss you all so much. ill see you monday for another great meal of gyro (myself) and falafel (my partner) and fries and baklava!”

“The Korean style hot dogs & the shaved ice were both really good! Service was fast & friendly. You can choose between original & potato for the outside, and sausage, mozerella, or half'n'half on the inside. Traditionally, the sauce is drizzled on your hot dog but I prefer mine on the side. I really enjoyed the bits of mochi in the strawberry shaved ice.”

“I have had several of the Middle Eastern menu items multiple times. Without a doubt it’s one of the best places here in Louisville. If not the best. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are healthy. I need to try some of the Italian dishes. The owner used to work in a top rated Italian restaurant for 17 years.”

I never called your establishment. I did my reservation through open table online. So there was NO conversation with you all about being full and I certainly did no decline … More     +5 2  North of Bourbon (Owner) 4 months ago Hi Alli, Thank you for your feedback. We take all reviews seriously, and yours is no exception. We have reviewed your comments with our team to ensure accuracy and to identify areas for improvement. According to our records, we seated you at 6:45 p.m., and the check was closed out at 8:47 p.m., which aligns with the standard two-hour window we strive to provide all guests to enjoy their dining experience, even during busy evening hours. When you called for your reservation, our staff informed you that we were fully booked inside and offered seating at the bar, which you declined. You opted for outdoor seating instead. While we do our best to make our outdoor space as comfortable as possible within the confines of Goss Ave, factors like foot traffic and noise are unfortunately beyond our control. We have not received previous complaints about joggers and certainly not 30 joggers, nor have we had any complaints about the outdoor lighting, which was carefully considered when designing the space. We sincerely apologize for missing the late complimentary champagne toast. It’s unacceptable that it arrived so late in your meal, and we are addressing this internally to ensure it does not happen again. Your comments regarding the food have also been shared with our kitchen team for review and improvement. Our goal is always to provide a memorable dining experience for every guest, and we are sorry that you felt like we didn’t meet your expectations.

We began with an appetizer featuring a beautiful selection of raw and cooked oysters, each one more delightful than the last. The raw oysters were fresh, briny, and perfectly chilled, with a subtle sweetness that made them irresistible. The cooked oysters were equally impressive, rich with flavor and topped with a delicate balance of seasonings that elevated the natural taste of the seafood. Opting for the chef’s choice for the entire meal was an inspired decision. Each course was thoughtfully curated, highlighting seasonal ingredients and creative pairings. The dishes were a perfect balance of flavors, textures, and presentations, keeping our palates intrigued and satisfied throughout the meal. The main courses continued the trend of excellence, with each dish showing a deep understanding of flavor combinations and culinary technique. From the perfect”
