“Great friendly employees. Was a great night“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Loved it“

“We can't wait to go back next month. If you want some of the best food most made in house, Then you need to go to this wonderful, Charming place. Your treated like family and the food is Heavenly sent. You won't regret it and neither will your taste buds. Don't forget to try one of their cookies or slice of cake. 5 stars all the way around.“

“Tried this for the first time today and loved it! Just when I felt there were no new interesting spots in downtown Louisville, a friend recommends InSeason. Yes! Wonderfully flavored and very friendly service by all. They moved fast and kept the place hopping. Very clean, too! Love the farm to table options. We will be back!“

“Our server, Abby, was terrific. Our bartender, Mike, is best in class and makes perfect recommendations. The chef, Jeremy, makes the best shrimp and grits I've had. Everyone there is incredibly friendly. Jeremy talked with us after the kitchen closed and was really charming. If you live in or visit Louisville and don't eat here, you're missing something special.“

“Highly recommend this iconic place! We celebrated our anniversary last night and had a wonderful time. Great food and service! I had the chicken and my husband had the pork chops both delicious. The drinks were made well and our dessert was the flourless chocolate blood orange cake. The evening was perfect!“

“We took our out of town guests yesterday. Our server Jessica was amazing! She really made our night! (If you are reading this Jessica, y’all/yins did a great job! Lol.) Everyone loved their cocktails. The pork chop was very tasty and perfectly cooked, loved the shrimp and grits… so flavorful! The salmon was also delicious! We had the cheese and hummus plate as a starter and I was not a fan. The hummus was gummy and had an odd flavor. The rest of our group didn’t mind it. I could have had the bruschetta as my meal… yum! For dessert we had the bread pudding and asked to have some bourbon to pour on top (so good!), the lava cake (wow) and the brûlée (coffee flavored and very nice). We were the last to leave and Jessica and the rest of the staff treated us if we had all the time in the world. We so appreciated that! Our experience was so special! Thank you!“

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

“On-line seating request worked great. Until we were seated in the heated outside area. Heat was intense, table was so loose we would not be able to hold it and eat, and table was covered with some sticky substance. We would have asked to move but nobody came to the table. So we left. Sad because the food is good!“

“Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. The tomato bisque was great!

To note though, you may wait in a long line if you come with a large group of people. This place doesn't have server to come get your order and you need to order in the front.“

“After another doctor’s appointment and eating Thanksgiving leftovers all weekend we treated ourselves to breakfast at Christi’s Cafe. As a small but popular local diner on the outskirts of Dixie Highway we were able to get a reasonably priced breakfast(veggie omelette for both of us) with friendly service. Coffee cups are continuously being filled and portions are large.“

“This was such a great spot - Anthony was the secret ingredient to the experience. He was a delight to chat with and set the standard for the service level - that said, the berry salad with salmon was tasty! The way the salmon was cooked paired perfectly and the portion was just right. I also adored having coffee in tea cups, it felt so elegant and posh. I will go back.“

“Never had anything that I didn’t love!“

“Being a teacher, it's sometimes hard to make it to our favorite place due to the hours. But, it's summer now, so all bets are off! We made it in yesterday and it was fantastic, as always. Don't leave without grabbing a cookie. $5 for a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie that's the size of a small pizza and delicious when warm.“

“Absolutely amazing lunch in Louisville!! Very friendly and kind people! The food is all from scratch and locally grown. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Fast service. Food was amazing!! Try it!!“

“All I can say is wow. Been here twice in a week. The Shepherds Pie is insane good. The Scot egg, Mac & cheese, and beer cheese are all incredible. Great great food!!“

“Amazing seafood, appetizers and desserts (bread pudding is phenomenal)! A must is having Samantha at Sam’s Food & Spirits as our server. Hands down the best food and service anywhere around! We are so glad we stumbled on this place. The manager Sam came and met us personally as well. The entire experience is worth the drive!“

“I first tried Barry’s Cheesesteaks four years ago when we moved to Louisville and am so glad I did. In all my travels, including Philadelphia, I’ve never had a cheesesteak than can begin to compare to Barry’s. The amount of meat and toppings used is double the amount you’d get anywhere else and the bread is always fresh. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Barry’s is at the top of my list of restaurants to take all my out of town guests to. Barry’s story is so inspiring and I love the Christian atmosphere of his restaurant. 5 stars at every visit!“

“Excellent service and the food and ambiance was great“

“The food was great but the service was even better! Treasure was so sweet and pleasant, always greeting me with a huge smile. She also had an extensive knowledge of the menu and gave some great suggestions. Joe, the bartender, came over himself and asked me how my drink was. Best bourbon lemon sour I ever had, bytheway! He was so cool, we spoke for a minute about his fav NFL QB, Jalen Hurts winning that SB. I definitely recommend Bourbon Academy to anyone flying through Louisville!“

“Bought me and my grandma a plate for thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes and gravy was amazing . Stuffing was great too. Turkey was also pretty great. My Mamaw loved it. Thank you Lindsay for helping me with thanksgiving dinner.“

“Great food, even better owners and staff. Our favorite spot in the city hands down. Nothing more to say besides 10/10 across the board!“

“We used The Copper Room at Orange Clover for a baby shower for a first time momma to be. I just cannot find the words for how wonderful the experience was. First off, the staff, absolutely phenomenal. Every single person I talked to (I’m sorry I don’t remember names, my memory is lacking currently) was so sweet and helpful. I appreciate every single one of you. Second, the food was perfect and delicious. Third, the room itself was everything I hoped it would be and more. The team working helped us make everything absolutely perfect. I cannot imagine a better place to have an event-from the staff, the food, to the location and the service. Beyond grateful for you all! Thank you so so much! ☺️“

“Amazing food with spectacular views!“

“Awesome stop for a custom whiskey flight. I hit the jackpot with expert bartender CC, who took my request for a custom whiskey flight as a challenge and knocked it out of the park with three choices setup in the perfect order. She knew the story behind each one and quickly looked up some additional details on her phone when she wasn't sure. The bar is clean and spacious and full of light. Whiskies are arranged by family for easy identification. She described a "Black Manhattan" that sounded delicious, but I'll have to try that next time. Proof on Main makes the perfect place to treat your taste buds while waiting for a distillery tour. Slainte!“

“The owner and his staff are very friendly. The restaurant is really clean on the inside. The first time I ordered, I got a rib tip dinner with greens and Mac and cheese. The second time, I only ordered rib tips and one of the staff asked me did I want sides. I told them no because I had sides at home. I let them know that the Mac and cheese was not so great and the owner came out and apologized for that and gave me a free slice of cake to make up. I thought that was really nice of him. He told me that he appreciated my feedback. I still visit every weekend and I get rib tips, greens and potato salad now and a slice of cake but I gotta get it early before it sells out.“

“This is in my neighborhood, but I don't go here too often. I had lunch today. Sorry, I forgot to snap a picture. Order the Breakfast Burger with confidence! It's a burger with bacon, an egg, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo! And it's delicious. The server Tony was fantastic. I'll be back sooner than later.“

“The table next to us, one of the women was extremely loud & cursing. Too bad I was out trying to have a nice lunch with my sister & Mom. Also, I was freezing as the fans were whirling away. I had to keep my jacket on the whole time. If I go back, I will definitely ask to be seated where there aren't any fans on (it's November) lol.“

“Fun, clean, safe atmosphere! Great place to grab a bite with the kids and then a beer (or several) later on. TV set up is solid, great bar games (Pool, Golden Tee) and it has the #1 ranked burger in the city of louisville!“

“Always delicious and very clean restaurant with stellar service. Delicious sandwiches and breakfast.“

“I had not eaten here in over 20 years. Meatloaf: spectacular as always. Chocolate brownie torte: The best there ever was. Thank you very much Ditto's for still being amazing.“

“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!“

Cheers to Johnny, he des a raise and I hope his foot gets better!!“

“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.“

“Saw the picture of the chicken wings on Facebook and they looked like Grannies use to so I decided to stop by and get an order of them and I was not disappointed. They were hot seasoned and delicious, just like Grannies were back in the day. Now I know that I have a place to go to get some good food cooked to order hot and fresh at a fair price right off the Shawnee Expressway.

Parking: parking lot right across the street if off street parking isn't available“

“Exceptional breakfast, best breakfast I have had at a hotel! Had scrambled eggs, grits, and a breakfast burrito, it was all delicious, thank you chef Mike and Terry, the breakfast burrito was my favorite! Jacob service was wonderful! I will come back to the hotel because of the breakfast!“
