    What a WOW view from one of the rotating dining rooms! We thoroughly enjoyed splurging for our anniversary dinner at Swizzle. The calamari appetizer was excellent, as was the wedge salad which they kindly split for us. And basket of warm bread - yum! My husband now lists their Tomahawk Pork Chop in his top ten - super tender, perfectly cooked. I had the scallops - also perfectly cooked with the grits, peas, and fried onions accompaniments - wonderful. Considering it was a super busy night at the restaurant, we felt very well taken care of by the wait staff. Also, if you aren't staying at the hotel or Ubering, use the restaurant valet for $10.00. A great deal for parking, and our car was waiting for us at the curb when we were done with dinner.

    What a menu! Make sure to start with the amuse bouche, the mini arancini was perfect. The mushrooms appetizer is unlike any I've had; warm, cold, crispy, umami, tangy, creamy. The trout was warm and briney but offset by a beautiful char on the skin. Fantastic dining experience, exceptional vibes. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Lousiville.

    We were accidentally there at happy hour. Drinks were $6.00 on a Tuesday evening. Nice crowd, controlled noise, sat in the bar, did not rush us. Service was good and appropriate. Had the tuna tartare and as always was fabulous.

    Food was amazing and the portions were huge! I highly recommend this place and I am not a huge lover of steak. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts for my dinner. I had a taste of my husbands steak, which was so good that I would consider getting steak there.

    Fantastic experience! We tried oysters for the first time. The staff was extremely helpful in selecting ones we may enjoy. We went to their sister restaurant, Brooklyn and the Butcher, for dinner, but came back to Outkast after for a nightcap because we liked the ambience there so much more. They made my husband’s birthday feel very special. We can’t wait to go back, especially during happy hour.
