“Visited the winery yesterday for the first time ! Loved it ! 6 samples for $5 ! I loved the wine with a hot peppers in it. I loved the chocolate wine. I loved the peach wine. Very friendly staff. Lovely place.”

“Visited a few days ago while in town on business. I had some hot tea with fresh lemon and a little sugar. It was very comforting. Ordered the chicken and dumplings. It is nothing like I’m accustomed to. I personally did not like it. There is virtually no chicken broth, so very dry. The service and ambience in the restaurant was top notch.”

“One of my favorite bakeries in Louisville. The price is affordable, food is delicious, they always have some new stuff too. We're obsessed with their papa rellena, ask for the sauce because they sometimes forget, it's the perfect combination 🤤”

“Was our first visit to your establishment and we were thoroughly impressed. The store was clean staff was very friendly and suggestive. The portions are well worth the price and the flavors are perfection. The coconut lime sorbet was amazing with pineapple topping and whip cream and my wife got the chocolate peanut butter with peanut butter syrup and both were delicious.”

“This is the portion size of 1/2 chicken with 2 sides. Paid extra to have it pulled from the bone for us. Maybe 1/2 cup of meat tops. Called the store to complain/see if they would make it right. We were told that's just the way it is. Very disappointing.”

”Food is always great, I didn't eat sushi before this place and now its a go to place for special occasions. I highly suggest you try the KY roll and the White Boy. Super Mario for something with some zazz. All those are great for beginners and are not raw. Hibachi is always killer and makes leftovers for days. Service is consistently awesome. There are more keto friendly options on the menu, you just need to look for them. Like the crab and avacado salad, or chicken kebabs. There is a sushi without rice, but it still has rice paper. Anyways just trying to make it easier for people who have diet restrictions to eat there. Hopefully, this review helps!”

”Bourbon N Toulouse is great. The food is unlike anything else in Lexington and it is super flavorful and delicious. I have liked everything I have tried and love the bread. The service is always friendly and even if there is a line you know you won’t have to wait long for your food. For the price the serving size is great.”

”4/20/23 Update - Their new menu is out and we had a chance to sample their Steak Frites (grilled Hangar steak, romesco saice, parm fries, and truffle aioli) and their Pan Seared Salmon (Fregula pasta, asparagus, English peas, baby spinach, and red pepper purée) and both were worthy of a place on the menu. We’ll definitely try them again along with their other new items). Pictures of both below… I can’t believe I’ve not written a review for this place given the fact that it’s one of my favorite local restaurants to visit and given the number of times I’ve eaten here! Always a pleasure and Jamie, our favorite waitress and JR her manager, always take good care of us. Their menu changes from time to time and I believe they’re ready for another change this month but I always look forward to trying their new dishes and returning to some of the old favorites that customers would scream about if they ever took it off the menu - like their fish and chips - one of the best around town and one of our favorites. I also like their salmon dishes with the latest being salmon over butternut squash, sweet corn, snd spinach risotto - delicious and the only thing that could improve it would be a dash of heat to dance with the sweetness of the corn. Their Saturday and Sunday brunch is equally delicious. If you haven’t been there before I suggest you give them a try - you won’t be disappointed!”

”Our server Tasha was amazing. Friendly and great service. Posted about our visit on my Facebook n a friend said she had the same server. Both me n my friend had nothing but good things to say about our service n the food.”

”This is a great little place to stop. I always enjoy how friendly the owners are and quick the service is especially how busy they are when you walk in. I wish there were more businesses and people like this in the world. Food so good I had lunch there and got food to go.”

”An easygoing breakfast joint with cocktails and unique options for dining. I love the high top seating! Everything about this screamed fresh and new and easygoing. Their chicken and waffles were probably the best I’ve ever tasted. It was a perfect ratio between sweet and savory and just when I realized I couldn’t finish my plate, my husband couldn’t let it go to waste. He had their filet and eggs and would have licked the plate if he could (I wouldn’t let him!). Cedar was my favorite restaurant we went to during our trip in Ohio and Kentucky. If you love breakfast like I do, certainly make a pit stop here.”

”What a gem nestled in Schnitzelburg! Great New Orleans cuisine. Had the Roasted Cauliflower appetizer. It was the only mildly disappointing thing of the night. Very, very vinegary! 😳 My wife had the onion burger (sans the bun). Loved it. She also had the brussel sprouts for a side. Spicy, tasty! She cleaned both plates. I had the Jambalaya and Shrimp. There was a ton of it! Thoroughly enjoyed it, and pleased that I had some to take home! The place was moderately busy, but not slammed. One thing they could work on, is making sure the servers do not overlap food! We were still working on our appetizer, when the entrees were brought out. I despise overlap! Suddenly struggling to find room to fit everything on the table... 🤨 The food was so good, however, I was able to forgive that! Highly recommend. We will definitely be there again, especially since it's 5 minutes from the house!”

”The donuts are absolutely fabulous. The glazed donuts are light and perfectly cooked. The filled donuts have plenty of very good filling. They ran out of apple fritters before I got there so I'll have to go back again for some of those.”

”Update: 11/4/23 - the food here was absolutely amazing once again. Keep doing a great job! I love the food here. I would recommend grilled salmon or chicken kabab with herbal rice. Cozy, clean restaurant with nice ambience, and great Reggie music.”

399 Armco Rd, Ashland, KY 41101, United States

”The steak was really good. Salad was OK. The baked potato was rather dry. Server as very nice but did make several mistakes. Lighting inside was not great but decent enough to still see your food. Atmosphere was ok.”

Glenmary plaza, 8129 Bardstown Rd, Louisville, KY 40291, United States

”Absolutely fantastic! The Arab salad is good enough to swim in. The hummus was awesome, the bread was warm, and the chicken kabas were great. Lots of food and the folks working were friendly and helpful. A+ all the way around.”

”Beautiful interior in the former Tim Faulkner Art Gallery. They moved in there from Logan's Market and this was my first time having their food. The service was very friendly and I had a nice chat with the employees while eating. The waffle was amazing and and the portions felt just right. I had some great coffee from Passenger and just enjoyed my time there overall. Pretty reasonable prices for the quality of food, which is high. The presentation was also really good. Perfectly arranged blueberries, banana slices, and cinnamon cream in the middle. I also got more syrup, which was not pictured here because it came out shortly after. I saw other orders being delivered, and they all looked so appetizing. Give it a shot!”

636 E Market St, Louisville, KY 40202, United States

”Everything is top shelf. The bartenders definitely know how to make a cocktail, the chef is phenomenal. Phenomenal. Definitely the best pita, hummus, lamb, and baba ganoush I've ever had. The service was also speedy, attentive and on top of it. I'll be back.”

”Two different experiences first time was lunch, fish sandwich, fried mushrooms, onion rings, fries, and buffalo chicken sandwich. (Not all for me) Not a long wait, enjoyed everything we're impressed with the fish and the chicken. Second time, burgers and chicken. Sandwiches all sorts of sides. We were not warned about the wait. The next customer In line was... 20+ plus minutes we would have left if we knew. We waited every second of that, long enough for two of my girls to need to use the restroom.... There was sewage leak or something. The bathrooms were so dirty I contemplated taking my five year old outside. This go round it was obviously a frozen burger, frozen pre-marinated grilled chicken breast. And they were really short handed. So why four stars? A) The first time was great, just don't use the bathroom and order fried food. And you will love it. B) The bathrooms are in the gas station next door. It is being worked on, so who knows who's fault that is. But man, it was bad. C) They are just getting started hopefully frozen burger and frozen chicken breasts aren't the full vision. I feel like they are working toward more. D) It's a local start up, I like to see hard working people succeed and I hope they do. Not going back for a while but if it's still up and running in six months I'll be drawn back like a month to flame. They were friendly and working hard, so you go try it, and let me know.”

”The pizza is pretty good! I got the NY style and it was pretty crispy. This location is doing a promo for the texting ordering (you get 20% off of your pizza). The ordering process was kinda a gimmick and I think it would just be faster to do it online but the extra cash off made it worth trying out. Essentially you text them your pizza order, then they text you a link to pay, then they send you a time estimate and that's about it.”
