I have celiac disease and hence am gluten intolerant. The manager came by and sat down with me to go over the menu and discuss options for me. First time this has ever happened. Also, we had a hearing impaired person in our party and asked the waiter to have the music turned down in our area and they cheerfully complied and asked how the new level was. Super pleased with their attentiveness!

I had a business group of 10 and everyone seemed to enjoy the experience. I had the mahi mahi again and it was as delicious as as I remembered. The desserts were delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend.

One of our favorite spots in Louisville! It’s very casual, but the food is sophisticated. The staff is very knowledgeable, and attentive. They have a nice range of gluten free options marked on the menu. Love the dates, lamb, crab cakes and desserts!

As usual, our family meal at The Fat Lamb was delicious. The special butternut squash and sausage with béchamel was rich and tasty, and two members of our party loved the burger and truffle fries. Such a winning combination, the house cocktail is one of my favorite drinks in town. We passed on dessert, having started with the satisfying feta dip.
