“My number 1 go to for fish here in Louisville. I've tried it all. Service is amazing, food portions are great for the price. love seeing the river in the spring time. The only negative is the parking. Hey it's worth the wait!“

“Great drinks, great food, great service. Fantastic river views from patio. But for the LOVE OF GOD, invest in some tabletop fly swatter things. Our dinner was ruined by the flies. Those things cost about $5 on Amazon. Buy them. Or come up with something else. I’ve eaten at the state fair and had less issues with flies“

“Simply the best Indian food in the state of Kentucky, family owned, and simply the best Indian food I’ve had outside of Mumbai. If you live in Louisville, do yourself a favor and come here. Also the mango lessi is delicious! I had their non-vegetable thali and my Girlfriend got samosas, Chicken 65, and garlic naan. The portions are so big that I got leftovers for two days. And also, there’s spice level is what their spice level exactly says. I got the three and I was sweating and loving it. Probably don’t wanna get the 5* unless you’re real Indian Or you have very adventurous taste buds. I would give them a 10 out of five if I was able to do so. Do yourself a favor and come to Shalimar!“

“WOW!!! Is all I can say here!!! Beyond the Sun Restaurant was truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience—the kind of place where ANYONE and EVERYONE can feel welcome! The food was DELICIOUS, and the service was absolutely TOP NOTCH!

We own a travel management business based in Atlanta, and we recently brought a client group of 25 guests to Louisville. Before our arrival, we connected with Tony, the manager, and explained exactly what we needed for our group. Tony was incredibly accommodating and worked with us to create an experience that stayed within our budget while still delivering an exceptional dining experience. He even provided vegan options for some members of the group.

Julian and Esthacio we AMAZING!!! They took EXCELLENT care of our group! They were attentive, organized, and moved quickly to gather everyone’s drink and meal orders. Despite having a group of 25, our food arrived in a timely manner, and there was never that feeling of being forgotten or overlooked.

And the group table setup was TOP TIER! Tony went above and beyond by creating a professional, personalized menu specifically for our group, which added such a thoughtful and special touch to our experience. Those are the kinds of details that make a group feel valued and make a travel experience memorable.

From the delicious food to the outstanding service and personalized attention, Beyond the Sun Restaurant DELIVERED!

We will DEFINITELY bring another group here the next time we visit Louisville. If you’re looking for great food, exceptional service, and a team that knows how to make guests feel special, Beyond the Sun is absolutely worth the visit!“

“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 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.“

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

I am from Florida and managed a seafood restaurant and this is by far some of the best tasting seafood I have ever ate. the shrimp boil was amazing, the cat fish had the best flavor and fried to a perfect golden brown crisps, the seafood tacos we good enough to slap your momma, shrimp and grits were full and taste with a Cajun twist, gator bites were perfectly cooked and the seafood Mac and cheese well let just say my dad doesn't eat mac and cheese at all and he said it was delicious... friendly staff clean atmosphere. will be coming back the next time we are in town.“

“Best Moby Dick restaurant that I've ever been to. Fish so good that I didn't even have to put any tartar sauce on it. It sits a little off the road, so I never noticed it driving on Preston highway, but once you turn off Preston, it's easy to find. The location looks new. Very clean. I'll be eating there for lunch at least once a week now. I got the fish box for two.“

“2026: Very tasty and clean. Nice restroom. Two piece fish dinner with fries was filling. Fresh fish 🐟 hot out of the fryer. The fries were ok, but my dad had onion 🧅 rings and they were excellent. Will be a regular at this location or the one in Middletown.“

“I cannot say enough Love This restaurant !! Fun with Band and Food is outstanding!!“
