    The calamari had bits of metal bristle from the basket it was cooked in. iThe filet was overcooked to the point of being inedible. It was the worst dining experience I've ever had.

    The location and vibe of Monk’s is top tier; however, the food is subpar. My husband and I ordered filets that were tough, mac and cheese that had no flavor, cavatelli pasta that was overdone and asparagus. The ambiance was dark and moody and perfect for a bourbon-themed bar/restaurant, but to get me to come back, the food needs to improve.

    Hi Lisa, I'm terribly sorry to hear that our food missed the mark during your visit. I appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention so that we may continue to improve by tasting and sampling every dish before it goes to a guest. I hope you will come back and give us another opportunity in the future. Sincerely, Charlie Cronin General Manager

    This was my 4th time to Monk Road and it was once again top notch. Without a doubt, the best restaurant in Louisville. Beautiful decor, great atmosphere and outstanding food.

    What a phenomenal meal! This was our 2nd trip, and it was just as amazing as the first meal! Aly is the best server, and Chef Ciro is on a roll with his attention to detail and flavors. Loved the oysters, hanger steak, risotto and pork! We will be back soon.

    Portions were very small There was no bread offered The “ shareable “ sides very small for the price. But food was very good.

    Hi Robin, I'm sorry your experience was not what we strive for and that somehow we forgot your bread service. I hope you will give us another opportunity in the future. Charlie Cronin General Manager

    Great food and good ambiance. We brought our 11 year old picky eater and the chef came out to the table to help accommodate her and made a special petit filet. Food was fabulous. Will definitely be back.

    Amazing experience from the service to the food. The chef even came to the table to attend to any allergy concerns and crafted a special dish to accommodate. Beautiful atmosphere, delicious drinks and convenient location. We can’t wait to go back !
