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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I have tried Indian food a couple times before (years ago), and did not like it. My husband loves Indian food, so we tried this restaurant for dinner. I cleaned my plate! 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.“

“Excellent selection of breakfast offerings including for those with dietary concerns. Fair prices for quality food. Friendly, professional, accomodating staff. Clean and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere... First time at a First Watch... definitely won't be the last!!!“

“Fantastic pizza, probably the best I’ve ever had. Service was spectacular. We came to Louisville for a concert, but it was worth the 7 hour drive just to get this pizza. Make sure you get a reservation in advance. We’ll be back any time we are going to, or through Louisville.“

“This place is a diamond in the rough kinda place tucked away!! Really delicious and drinks! Staff wonderful knowledgeable about what they have and super friendly!!! Definitely will go back!!!“

“If I could give this place more than five stars, I absolutely would! Our experience was nothing short of amazing. We originally placed an order through DoorDash, but the driver canceled and claimed the restaurant was closed. To our surprise, the owner personally called to apologize and made sure our order was completed. That level of care and commitment to customers is something you rarely see. My boyfriend went to pick up the food, and the owner went above and beyond—he even gave us two personal cheesecakes as an apology! And despite the fact that DoorDash had already canceled and refunded our order, the owner wouldn’t let us pay. He said he would handle the issue with DoorDash himself. The next day, I even called to check because we wanted to come in and pay if DoorDash hadn’t resolved it, and the owner reassured me he was taking care of everything. That kind of generosity and customer-first attitude is absolutely incredible. When he got home with the order, it was just as impressive as the service. We ordered the breadsticks, the combo pizza, and the Cup N’ Char pepperoni pizza. Everything looked and smelled amazing, and the taste was even better than we imagined. The breadsticks were perfectly seasoned, garlicky, and soft, the combo pizza was loaded with fresh toppings, and the Cup N’ Char pepperoni had that crispy, flavorful edge that makes even more delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in what they serve. The flavor and quality alone make this restaurant worth every cent, but when you add the outstanding customer service we received, it’s clear they truly care about their customers. This experience turned what could have been a frustrating situation into one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. From now on, Danny Mac’s will be our go-to spot for pizza. Highly recommend to anyone looking for incredible food and exceptional service!“
