The food was what you would expect from a high end steakhouse - steaks were cooked to order and the sides were awesome. Thanks Steve and Larry for making our celebration extra special - we had a great time with you!“

“Had an amazing experience at The Mayan Cafe! Their food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I also really appreciated how accommodating they were with allergies. The staff was knowledgeable and made sure everything was safe for me. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back.“

“Loved my steak with chimicurri green sauce..not a fan of plantains ( would prefer as a dessert with brown sugar- but do understand how served in this restuarant) the vegetables were da bomb! Omg I can just order the sautéed vegs with mushrooms and be in heaven. I had the spicy margarita and it was wonderful. We were celebrating mothers day late and I guess the server thought it was a birthday so she brought out dessert on the house...SO GRATEFUL! Enjoyed dinner with my son just Mr and him“

“My server Amanda on a scale 1-10 she was a 10! I was satisfied with her appearance an he approach she's great she handles everything wonderful! Customer satisfaction!“

“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’ve been a few times to Better Blend and I have to say the last time I went was to the Louisville location. It was by far my favorite, the staff were very friendly, and the menu items we tried were the best I have had yet!! The business was very clean, and it made me feel even better about picking the healthy food options we had ( I had the peanut butter Oreo for the first time and it really hit the spot!) I recommend if you are in the area and looking for a fresh crisp healthy choice stop by and give it a try!“

“Terrific atmosphere, attentive servers, amazing flavor. Like when you don't have to add anything nor wish a spice was less. We had birria, croquettes, and the Lechon Asado. Perfection, and we added the plantains to go. Excellent shared meal around a table of 4.“

“We always enjoy our experiences at Volare’. Fresh seafood dishes flown in each Friday for another one of their exquisite seafood entree’s. Large portions are in order and our favorites are the steak with bourbon glaze and salmon with a hot pepper sauce. Don’t forget to order their decadent desserts, even if you take it to go. Caring staff that make certain that your visit is flawless.“

“Man you can’t beat this food! The food is made with love and everything I’ve had is awesome! Owner is amazing and friendly and treats everyone like a friend! Please try this place and enjoy !!“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“

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

“Gigantic slices that are delicious! If I lived in Tullahoma I would eat here everyday.“

“Me and my family have come here for years, always perfect.“

“i follow a blogger on youtube that travels the world. he is visiting Ethiopia and through watching it learned that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. So i googled Ethiopian coffee shops in Louisville and found Abol cafe. visited today and had some pour over coffee, it was the best coffe i've ever had, and i have tried coffee everywhere!!!! believe me when I say this place has the best Coffee around. This place more than exceeded my expectations of Ethiooian Coffee!!!! I will be visiting this place alot more.“

“Not only was the food creative and delicious, the restaurant offers a true dining experience with great attention to detail. Extra credit for the fact that they did not rush me at all even though I was dining solo but instead took the time to make me feel as welcome and special as any other diner. A truly memorable dining experience. Worth every penny and then some.“

Shrimp Tandoori was delicious, Naan, Tandoori Rito, Lamb Saag, Basmati Rice, Samosas, even the Chutney was wonderful, and let’s not forget Mango Lassi. The staff is also very friendly and attentive; we cannot wait to come back.“

“I love a good bagel sandwich and found it to be sort of difficult to find a really good one within the area. I tried this place and found the location to be great and spatious. Parking wasn't too difficult to find outside mashup. The staff was very kind and helpful when we ordered. My partner and I enjoyed the food we chose. We recommend Avocado Smash and the Zaydie. Although, the sandwich could have had more pastrami according to my partner. All in all, we will be happy to return and recommend.“

“Absolutely top notch service and excellent food! Crystal was wonderful and I saw so many other positive staff interactions with patrons and with other staff. I was in town for something less than fun and having First Watch there made things that much better.“

“Stopped in to this place before a concert - it was fantastic! I can’t stop thinking about the Mozzarella sticks!! The burger and sweet potato fries were delicious as well. Highly recommend!“

“A Victorian home with breakfast done right in the Highlands

The Highlands district alone is worth the detour. Even on a morning visit it’s easy to see how this neighborhood transforms after dark; restaurants and bars lining both sides of the street for blocks, the kind of walkable, eclectic strip that makes a city feel alive. We were there for breakfast and already wanted to come back for a nighttime visit.

The Gralehaus itself is easy to miss. it lives inside a beautifully preserved Victorian home, and the signage is subtle enough that you might walk right past it. Once you’re standing directly in front, you’ll spot it on the front door. Don’t let the historic exterior fool you into thinking it’s a private residence. Step right in.

The front room of the old home is the main dining area, and the setup is refreshingly casual; seat yourself, take your time, soak it in. You can choose to sit near the espresso bar inside or make your way out back to the garden, which is exactly what we did. The outdoor space is incredibly comfortable; lush, green, and draped in climbing vegetation including vines of actual hops, which feels perfectly on brand for Louisville. It’s the kind of spot you want to linger in well past your last sip of coffee.

You order at the espresso bar and your food and drinks are brought to you; simple, unhurried, and exactly right for a lazy morning.

We ordered the Kentucky coffee, fresh orange juice, the trout dip board, a breakfast sandwich, and the coffee cake.

The Kentucky coffee was a standout. It had a bright, unexpected citrus twist that elevated it well beyond a standard morning cup. The breakfast sandwich was generously sized and deeply satisfying, the kind that actually keeps you full. The trout dip is boldly, unapologetically trout-forward, so consider yourself warned: if you’re not a fish person, this one is not for you. But if you appreciate that flavor, it’s a genuinely great option and a nice nod to regional ingredients.

The coffee cake deserves a special mention for sheer generosity of portion; it’s a lot, in the best way. Fair warning though: it is delightfully messy. Choose your eating location wisely unless you want crumbs in places you’ll be finding them later.

The Gralehaus is the kind of neighborhood breakfast spot that feels like a local secret even when it isn’t. Unpretentious, charming, delicious, and tucked inside one of the most characterful settings you’ll find for a morning meal.

Sit in the garden. Order the coffee cake. Don’t mistake it for someone’s house.“

“When we walked it from the pouring rain we was GREETED with a WARM FRIENDLY smile from I believe his name is David. He was very kind and attentive. I will not say what I ordered because I want to come back for it and it not be they ran out type thing 😂🤣. But I will say their house made mustard should be bottled up and sold because it's THAT AMAZING. AMBIENCE 10 OUT OF 10 SERVICE 10 OUT OF 10. I had my food to good but if your not busy how I was STAY and dine in I will next time. Also bathroom is very clean. I love a good clean room. 10/10“

“great food, excellent service from Manu this evening“

“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!“

“Food and service were great! We had the ribeye and the chicken fried chicken, both seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Sides were just as good. We will definitely return!“

“The food was delicious and the portions were so generous we had trouble finishing our entrees. However, we did save room for the baklava and it was outstanding. Highly recommended for a great meal. Great for groups who need vegetarian or vegan options.“
