Restaurants near Old Louisville

The service was over the top! We had the barrel cut filet cooked medium rare with the bourbon peppercorn sauce with a lobster tail add on and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. We also had the lobster Mac & Cheese which was over the top! We finished off the meal with the bread pudding and it was the best EVER! Totally recommend Repeal if you’re in Louisville.

Sat at bar, Kate was super knowledgeable and made several bourbon and menu recommendations. She made for an excellent experience. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely the best ining experience. Our shrimp appetizer was undercooked, but the waitress handled it easily and quickly. The shrimp deJohne was perfect. Cindy the bartender was fun and truly enhanced our dinner. The bread. Oh. Lord. The bread. The bread and a room. So fabulous. Our bread pudding dessert was as good or better than want we have had in New Orleans. Highly recommend!!

What a great dinning experience. From our waiter, José, to the crafted cocktail and authentic appetizer, entrees and desert there really was no room for improvement. The ample portions left us with a wonderful snack for later. I loved that Jose gave us the history of the proprietor, Mima, and how she came to create this wonderful restaurant. The mural of her really sets the tone and the music, china, fixtures and created the perfect setting for this culinary experience.

We opted to try Proof On Main to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary during our annual visit to Louisville. Routinely, we had our anniversary dinner at Swizzle. However, when we were unsuccessfully at securing a reservation at Swizzle, our search for an alternate led us to Proof on Main-we are glad we did! Not only were we able to get a last minute reservation on X-mas eve, but it wasn't packed, adding to the intimate ambience we were hoping to experience. Our waiter, was not only knowledgeable, but he was verry attentive and detailed with his recommendations; which were spot-on. I cannot remember the last time I savored every bit of my meal.
