    We have been to both locations of Steak and Bourbon, while we enjoyed the food at the initial visit we absolutely LOVED the vibe of the downtown location! The live music was also excellent, it added to our overall enjoyment of the experience. I do wish that the pace at which our food came was a bit slower so we could enjoy even more of the evening. The downtown location we will definitely visit again!

    Porch Bar & Grille in the Louisville Marriott is a great place to eat. Food was superb. My Old-Fashioned was delicious as well. Evan was my server. He was professional, courteous and attentive. He filled my water glass and asked how everything was. He was pleasant to talk to as well about non menu items such as football. I had a wagyu beef cheeseburger (the best I ever had) and for dessert I had their Bourbon Butter cake (recommendation from Evan). This cake was so good!!!

    Bob’s steakhouse is top notch! I am from Chicago and am difficult to impress when it comes to food. My husband and I ordered the Rack of Lamb med rare and NY Strip medium and both were cooked perfectly and tasted absolutely delicious. The wedge salad and creamed spinach were outstanding as well. Our server was very attentive and went above and beyond to make our meal delightful. He made my husband a custom smoked old fashion that would rival some of our favorite spots in Chicago. Lastly the fries…they aren’t traditionally on the menu, however they were offered as a special. They had a “Rallys” meets curly fries from Arby’s in a Chick Fil-A waffle style with an upscale twist. Best fries I’ve had. I highly recommend Bob’s, we will absolutely be back!
