Best Historic Restaurants in St Matthews

Our server was Jordan, and she was amazing! She was so kind to us and very informative and helpful with the menu and specials. My boyfriend had the Penne Carbonara, and I had the Capellini Pomodoro E Basilico, which I added grilled chicken to. Both dishes were absolutely amazing! The portion sizes were large as well, which we appreciated! The manager on duty was also very kind both over the phone and in person. We really appreciated everyone making our night special and staying open for us as the last reservation of the evening. We do not regret choosing Porcini for our belated Valentine’s Day date / celebration, and we would both definitely recommend Porcini to others for an intimate & upscale date night experience, 100%!

We had a wonderful experience at Bourbon’s last night, one of our go to places for a great meal. Everything from the cocktails, to the apps, dinner and desert were all excellent! Our server was also fantastic, just wish I could remember her name! Highly recommend this gem of a place that I hope will be around for many years to come!

We were seated immediately for our 7:15 Valentine's Day reservation. The service was excellent despite the place being packed, and the food was delicious, as usual. The staff is always friendly and seem like they are happy to be there. Our dinner was a great value for the quality of the overall experience. We spend only slightly more to dine at very mediocre places in this town. This is my favorite restaurant in the city. The bar manager is excellent and whether you hang at the bar or choose to be seated at a table, the service is always spot-on, without being stuffy. The wine selection was nice as there were some good quality wines for no more than you would pay at any middle of the road establishment. The brussell sprouts app was tasty, as was the encrusted goat cheese salad. I forgot to ask if the squash blossom app is off the menu permanently, but I am assuming it is seasonal. I sure hope so, because it fantastic. I had the pasta dish with chicken (amazing), my wife had Salmon which is always perfection. She doesn't eat red meat or pork, so it is nice that she can always find a tasty choice here. We were stuffed so no room for desert.

Forgive me for misspelling his name but our server, Ponch, was excellent. Really made the night!

Small quaint restaurant with a fabulous menu with a wide selection. Service was better than I’ve had in many restaurants. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet evening out.
