“Food was amazing and I will be going back“

“This place is awesome!! The food is great the vibe is also but the people are even better!! My server Jolene was just perfect very attentive and on top of it!! Will for sure be coming back!!“

“Amazing tour from Bill. He was equally funny and knowledgeable, which isn't something you always get on Distillery tours. Felt less like a script he was following and more like knowledge he was clueing us into. And the drinks were great!!“

“My kids love eating here and so do I! We also love to pick up the family meal and take it home on a busy night. The staff are all so kind and friendly!“

“Great offering of bottles, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Bottle your own was a fun experience to do. The tour was also great, despite being a relatively small area, it was engaging and informative. Atticus & Kristen were wonderful tour and tasting guides. I hope they get a raise.“

“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.“

“There are several locations in Louisville, but the Middletown location is my favorite. It’s always a happy place with live music and an entertaining vibe. The steak chimichurri is my favorite dish, and their Cuban sandwich is delicious.“

“First time taking this distillery tour and have added it to my “Not to be missed tours”. It was a great example of a modern working distillery in a historic building. Their operation was impressive from grinding to bottling. Our tour guide Bobbi was great! She was knowledgeable and made the tour fun. The tasting paired with several different chocolates was amazing!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Service, food and atmosphere.“

“We loved the friendly service, great food and quick food delivery. We had the chicken biscuit with gravy and omelet plus bloody marys and coffee. Thank you- we will return!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Had a pharmaceutical event there today and the service was top notch ! Great food and the drinks are fantastic 🍷“

“I did the ‘Evan Williams Traditional Tour & Bourbon Tasting’ the host/guide was Mark from Indiana (I forgot his last name initial). The tour was better than what I expected it to be it had a good balance of just an overview of how the bourbon is produced for those who do not know but I liked the history about Evan Williams himself and some of the significant events that occurred around the time the bourbon started to be produced. Mark also gave some history of the city as well which I thought was cool and informative too. He also gives good suggestions on which bourbons can only be purchased there or at a distillery which was helpful. The one that they produce for the Japanese market is 🔥 in case anyone was wondering 😊“

“My friend and I went to the Rabbit Hole distillery for a tour and tasting. Upon arrival, we were offered a complimentary choice of a drink between an Old Fashioned and a sample of their five grain double chocolate malt. The chocolate malt was quite delicious. Our tour guide, Jenn, was great and extremely knowledgeable and informative. The Rabbit Hole distillery is a modern and beautiful facility. The tastings are not conducted at the end like most tours, but throughout the experience. I liked the way they conducted the tasting, as it provided more opportunities to discuss the spirits. They had plenty of great spirits to try, and we were very happy with everything.“

“We were sat promptly and had wonderful service throughout our stay. Our waitress, Danielle, was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and accommodating. Jasmine and John were wonderfully attentive to our needs, clearing plates and refilling drinks. The food was deliciously prepared. Highly recommend the house dessert! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience!“

“We’ve been here so many times and have always loved it.

Tonight, we tried to just our fantasy football draft with them but our league failed to show. We’d planned on 15 but not even half showed up. But this team still honored their fantasy football draft party for us - gave us a TV to watch the game we wanted (and this went way beyond the call of service) and they still honored their discounts.

We had actually no idea they did these thing for fantasy football drafts, so if you are drafting soon. You need to go here! Last minute. Amazing management and waitress staff.

We love bungalows and will forever be customers.

Killed it guys. Amazing work.“

“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.“

“For a bourbon enthusiast, Stitzel-Weller is more than a distillery visit—it is an opportunity to stand in a place that helped shape the history of American bourbon. Looking across the grounds, it is impossible not to think about the people, decisions, innovations, and significant moments that have taken place there since the distillery opened, and how their influence continues to be felt throughout the bourbon industry today. Our guide, Kristina, made that history come alive. She did more than share facts and dates; she told the story of Stitzel-Weller in a way that made you feel connected to the people and events that shaped this remarkable place. Her knowledge and enthusiasm added tremendously to the experience. There is a sense of continuity between bourbon’s past and present at Stitzel-Weller that simply cannot be appreciated from a book or a bottle. For anyone who truly loves bourbon and its history, Stitzel-Weller is a place you simply must experience in person.“

“We were in town for the Zach Bryan concert at L&N stadium. This little gem is just down the street. Gyros were delish and loved the sauce! Fries were hot and fresh! Staff so welcoming and friendly. We will be back next time we are in Louisville!“

“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 !!“

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

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

“Food was the winner of this stop. Quite the surprise to find tasty cuban food in Kentucky. The service was pretty good and attentive. The atmosphere is a bit chaotic. Surprisingly a LOT of kids on the day we went and there was a live singer. It was really loud. Depending on how you view those categories, it can add or subtract from your rating!“

“Mmmmmmmmm barrel strength bourbon“

“Amazing food and quality service!!“

“great service, great prices, friendly“

“The best tacos in the city!“

“Absolutely delicious food, at a great price, and served by a very friendly gentleman in a bright and very clean space. We tried the meat sampler, mushroom tibs plate (mild) , and an order of lentil sambusa. I recommend all of the items we ordered.... the sides were all amazing as were the main items. We left beyond stuffed!“

“Delicious food! Exceptionally friendly, attentive service! Lots of vegan options.“

“We visited J Grahams Cafe for breakfast. Very welcoming staff and atmosphere, in a historic building. Classic furnishings but not stuffy. Our server was quick, friendly, and helpful. The Hot Brown was worth the visit alone, but our other selections were also really great. Stop by if you get a chance! You wont be disappointed.“

“great food, excellent service from Manu this evening“

“Had a great time on what ended up being a private tour for my wife and I since no one else signed up. I'd give it 5 stars if this were Yelp. Really interesting story on their more recent challenges and how they have thrived/survived. They have some great whiskeys to try and some of their unique finished stuff is incredible. If I had one complaint, it would be the plastic tasting cups.“

“Quaint, quiet, couple atmosphere nice drinks I will be back“

“Food expensive and quality is so small I feel like every time I come here the question keep reducing mind you I bought food that cost $18 and the gave me a half empty bowl with a small bowl of rice it wasn’t even full. This is ridiculous I will never come here again“

“Our pleasant host greeted us cheerfully and helped us make wise selections. The food was absolutely delicious! We especially loved the saffron rice! We had the goat with curry and everything was flavorful!
The fruit drinks were so refreshing! We tried Mango and Mixed Fruit.
What an amazing food experience! We can't wait to try more of the menu! We definitely will bring more of the family so they can share the joy. Thank you!“

“Very good idk“

“Great food and Great employees. I give five stars ***** to Kaitlyn Grizzel. She was Great.“

“Love the food, every dish we have had was excellent and the coffee..the best!!“

“We really enjoyed the meal and our server. The dining room is very nice. However, I rated them down one star because the bar is open to the dining room. There was a very loud customer at the bar whose loud talk and braying laugh made a conversation in the dining room almost impossible at times.“

“Very attentive. And the food was delicious and so flavorful. Lovely retro-southern atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite.“

“The rangoon and spring rolls were light and crisp. Drunken noodles were delicious. Will definitely go back.“

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

“The chicken and the cilantro rice was excellent.“

“Honestly, Home Cuisine is the best. I don't cook anymore, and have tried EVERY prepared meal company. Some are good, some are awful, but Home Cuisine consistantly wonderful.“

“Very attentive. And the food was delicious and so flavorful. Lovely retro-southern atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite.“
