“Very convenient to down town . I’m most impressed with the service and atmosphere. Seated immediately and greeted by the on site manager. My waitress joined me with ice water. I knew what I wanted and ordered. I ordered the Caesar salad as an appetizer figuring only 4 scallops were my main course. The salad had a good taste but three times as much dressing as normal. With my scallops I also ordered thick cut peppered bacon. This was more disappointing than the salad. The bacon was supposed to be cherrywood smoked and with maple syrup . Could not taste the cherrywood or smoked flavor at all. They were thick and had a lite glaze of maple. They tasted like grilled ham instead of anything resembling bacon.
Now to the main course. The scallops were perfectly cooked with a sear on top and bottom and tasted as good as they looked. The issue was that 2 of the 4 had that familiar crunch of sand.
The 1st one I thought it might be the sear- but it wasn’t.
I’m not totally put off because I probably will go back tomorrow. This is because how friendly and efficient the staff was. My waitress stopped or acknowledged she was checking very regularly. Also I liked the atmosphere and lively crowd. This time I will go the beef route.“

“Brilliantly planned and conceived menu that featured high quality food that was creatively prepared. The portions were generous for a tasting menu. We really enjoyed that we were not at all rushed through our meal nor was there a long lag between courses. A truly memorable experience.“

“Food was amazing and I will be going back“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The outside is pretty unassuming, but the inside is simple, roomy, and clean. I had the fresh spring rolls with pork and shrimp, and they were easily a 10/10. The pork was tasty, well seasoned, and slightly sweet.

I also had the pho with beef and tendon. I’d give it an 8/10—only knocking off two points because the portion wasn’t as large as I’ve had at some other places, but it was still filling. The tendon was especially good and tasted very fresh.

Service was fast. I went around 3:30 on a Friday, and there were only two other groups there, so it wasn’t too busy. Highly recommend.

PHOTO attached. I ate one spring roll before I took a photo.“

“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 !!“

“Excellent service and savory dishes.
We were late due to traffic and when I called to let them know, they told me to stop by. This was at 9:45pm, they close at 10pm.
I told them I didn’t have to bother their team but they insisted.
We enjoyed our dinner, I showed my appreciation with a very generous tip, as their professionalism and consideration was beyond what many restaurants showcase nowadays.
Thank you guys, we’ll come back at a decent time next time we’re in Louisville!“

“amazing food and drinks. loved the lobster Mac taco!“

“So much easier on our emotions than visiting a shelter, so you can interact with the fur babies and relax until you reach a decision. Great coffee from Quill's Coffee and yummy snacks! Amazing volunteers who help to make the entire experience very relaxed and chill.“

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

“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!“

“Great food! Friendly service!“

“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!“

“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!“
