Best Casual Restaurants in St Matthews

I’m so glad I chose this restaurant for my mom‘s 80th birthday! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! The online pictures of the restaurant itself on the inside, did not do it justice. Loved the ambience. Dress was from very casual to semi formal, as we went at Christmas time and there were a lot of corporate Christmas parties. It was a beautiful setting with a lovely Christmas tree that everyone wanted to take pictures in front of. I highly recommend!

We are were in town for king of the bluegrass basketball tournament in Fairdale. The appetizer we had the tuna poke (10/10) We got a bottle of Treana Cab wine to have with our main course… My husband had the medallion filets and I had the 7 oz filet (med rare) We got cheesy potatoes and asparagus for sides to share. The portion sides are generous! Wow!!!!!! Everything was phenomenal .. and don’t even get me started on the bread with the beef mallow and garlic butter candle ….. Unreal! The service was top notch! We had reservations, and were greeted with smiles and quickly seated. Our table was cleaned and ready for each step of our experience. The atmosphere was warm, eclectic and welcoming. There was someone with his sax playing soft jazz Christmas music as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be coming back (even though it’s a 2.5 hour drive) I MUST try the Lobster Bisque next time! We love good food and exceptional service ! Thank you for the experience!

Our experience at Ata was perfect. We had a party of six. Everyone’s meal was excellent. The Staff was professional, attentive and friendly. We were treated like royalty. We will definitely be dining at Ata again.

It was our second time to Kaelin’s tonight and the food was just as good as the first time! This is going to become one of our staple restaurants!

Arrived 5 minutes before reservation and seated right away. Greeted by our server Ashley who was outstanding. Was offered cocktail and wine list and had drinks within 5 minutes. 1st time for my friend so she was greeted with toast of Chianti and Italian toast. Salad and main course were exceptional. One of my favorite restaurants.
