We've passed this restaurant 1 million times going home and I've always talked about checking it out. We finally went on a random weekday for dinner and it did not disappoint! The patio was shaded and a great place for dinner. The staff was very friendly, food plated beautifully and everything so tasty and fresh. We will definitely go back to try more on their large menu! read more

Everything was amazing!! We went on a Saturday and they had a live singer. I got the calamari appetizer and the lamp chops. The service was quick, but the food was still hot and fresh or in case of the salad with the calamari cool and refreshing. I shared a lamb chop since it was my friend's first time and she said she's coming back just for those. It was nice and airy, we were seated by stage and was able to interact with the singer between songs. read more

Celebrating the 26th wedding anniversary and this restaurant did so much more than satisfy. The inside is open and attractive. The color pallet, consideration of sight lines and communal feeling was perfect. I expected a loud environment due to the openness, but it was cozy. We were greeted by the lovely and charming Patricia who ensured our evening was memorable. All of the staff stopped to say hi, check in and make sure we were taken care of. However, it wasn't because of our special event. It is just the nature of the staff. They made sure all patrons were looked after. The bar menu is abundant and includes multiple house cocktails and there is great happy hour menu as well as daily specials. We enjoyed the ribeye with cheese grits and seasonal vegetables and chicken Marsala. Everything was delicious and arrived at the table in under 15 minutes. We hope to return to enjoy the live music sessions soon. Definitely will be back and highly recommend thjs restaurant. read more

Awful. This restaurant honestly perplexed me. It gives they want to be upscale but lack the quality. Not even sure what cuisine they are going for. The menu has a bit of everything but in a confusing way. It is like they are trying to be a fusion restaurant but not actually fusing the dishes. They have cheese dip, to croquettas, a lot of seafood, Italian dishes, fajitas, pasta to ribs. Lol it is insane. I think this is why the food was awful and not prepared well. The chefs can't keep up. Jack of all trades, master of none? I got the ribeye and it was not cook to my temperature and the veggies were soggy as all get out. My friend got a pasta and barely touched it. The drinks were okay. But overall one of the worst experiences I have had to date. The decor is modern. Service couldn't make up for the bad experience. read more

Everything was great! We had a large party and Rosmeris, Dayana​, Lianet,​​ and Faviana were efficient and attentive. Thank you to Tony for helping us organize this event. We will be returning! read more

I came here for my birthday o love how romantic it looks and we was on the balcony its so pretty and watching the night traffic on bardstown road. The food was mediocre but i will give this place a try again. But try it out its a vibe read more

When we asked about mocktails, there was only the option of piña colada and mojito. Piña colada with dinner? I asked if they could make something with ginger beer and they said no. We were literally the only table in the place for a good hour (3 of us) and they couldn't look up a drink recipe? It was bazaar. I ordered the Greek salad and it was 90% raw peppers with a couple pieces of lettuce and tomato, also so odd. The other 2 at my table ordered the filet, both medium rare and they looked totally different temps. Steaks were a little tough, mojitos were good, the server was awkward and slow, the volcano cake has a weird name, it's just a 4 layer cake with choc mouse, nothing volcano or lava about it. $207 for mediocre food, service... we won't be back. Very disappointing. read more

Had a good evening menu gives a lot of choices will be back sit upstairs where the had a local artist playing guitar

The Mahi Mahi dinner was absolutely divine - truly a 10 out of 10! Every bite was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly seasoned fish with the zesty citrus cream sauce..FIRE, to the creamy grits and fresh veggies. Ordered through Door Dash and it was still hot. Oh, the portion was also huge!! read more

I was never in this building when it was Mellow Mushroom, so I don't know how much has changed, but walking in you definitely feel like you arent on Bardstown Road anymore. The whole thing is done in black and gold and is very nightclub-esque. The service was good except I had a server who I dont think English was his first language because he kept calling me "lady", which was odd and kind of funny. My table ordered the Croquettes, which were amazing, and the Lava Dip with chorizo which was good but messy. My entree was the Salmon burger with old bay mayo, caramelized onions, lettuce and tomato. After the apps I didn't eat much of it but it was good and was even better the next day. I would definitely go back and try this place again! read more

Loved the food. I had seafood and flan for dessert. Came early on a Friday night and it was not crowded at all. Ambiance was peaceful and sophisticated. read more

The décor of this restaurant is just beautiful with blacks and golds. Each place setting adorned with crystal-looking gold edged glassware and the black/red roses hanging from the ceiling give it a elegant goth feel. Our server was high energy, super friendly and extremely attentive. We started with one of their signature drinks, the Violet Lilly. Served in a rose shaped glass, the purple hue matched the floral notes in the drink. It was unique, tasty but on the smaller side of a drink. For appetizers, we went with the Cuban croquettes and there were about 10 elongated tater tot shaped croquettes with a delicious pink sauce. The croquettes were creamy, cheesy and delicious and the sauce elevated the dish. My hubby and I split the chicken parmesan as we weren't super hungry and it was enough for both of us, I didn't even finish mine. The chicken was pounded thin and had a light, crispy, but airy coating on it that was seasoned nicely. The side pasta had a very unique flavor, I can't figure out what it was, but it was amazing. It wasn't heavily coated in sauce, but just enough and with the flavor profile, it didn't need more. This was some of best chicken parmigiana we've ever had. Son had the Bourbon Star with baby potatoes and vegetables. Unfortunately, that dish wasn't as good. It wasn't hot, more like luke-warm and the steak was not medium rare, closer to medium with a decent well done sized ring around the edges. The meat itself was a bit tough and chewy. The baby potatoes were very good, though, sliced in half, seasoned nicely and with a crisp outer coating. The other veggies were also nice. My hubby and I would go back again, if for nothing else, the chicken parm and fantastic service. read more

This place is a whole vibe! It's classy yet hip, and their presentation is on point! There is a bar downstairs and upstairs, and there's a ton of seating up and down for the restaurant. They have live music on the second floor, and it really sets the mood! My husband went there for date night, and it was fun and still romantic! The service was great! They gave great recommendations, and everything came out in a timely manner. We ordered the margarita flight, the Irish coffee, and the house margarita for drinks. They were all very tasty, and they have yummy options for the margaritas! If you have a group of people, they also offer shot flights served in an airplane, and they have a margarita tree! As our appetizers, we ordered the ferris wheel sampler and the lava cheese dip and chips with chorizo. Both were absolutely delicious! The ferris wheel is fun and has a bunch of great options on it. For our meals, we had the fajitas and The Bourbon Star. Definitely recommend both! read more

Loved this restaurant! We were greeted graciously by the host staff and seated quickly. We were seated upstairs in the room past the bar. The restaurant is lit just right and has wonderful decor. Our server Ruth was outstanding! She answered our menu questions and even shared brief conversation about the live piano player (she was outstanding!). I had the Chicken Marsala and my spouse had the Chicken Parmesan. We shared a little of each other's entrees. Each dish was absolutely amazing! One of the best Chicken Parmesan entrees I've ever had. We finished the meal by sharing the Tres Leches Cake. This was a near-perfect evening! Highly, highly, highly recommend!! read more

Food good scenery good, our waitress was really nice, the karaoke was good as well I got the Alfredo noodles and that was good as well

I attended a birthday dinner at Beyond The Sun. It was a great experience from start to finish. It was a party of about ten. I ordered an old fashion and it was good. We had appetizers that we shared and everything tasted good. For my entree, I got the salmon. It came with rice and vegetables. Everything was excellent. Our server was great as well. After dinner, we went upstairs to listen to the live music. The place is a very popular spot on Bardstown road. Next time I'm in town I will definitely come back! read more

We sat at the bar and the service was nice. The food came out quick and was hot and tasty the restaurant is very large and we didn't make it up stairs to see where the music is. Would recommend for a large group dinner. We were a little early for dinner after a movie so it was not crowded at all.

I am writing to provide feedback regarding a recent dining experience at Beyond the Sun establishment. My party and I visited on January 11th to celebrate my girlfriend's 60th birthday, and while we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and the initial service, particularly from our server, Rafael, I felt it was important to bring one specific incident to your attention. Rafael was, for the most part, truly outstanding. He was exceptionally professional, demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the menu, and was largely very attentive throughout our visit. We were a party of five, and after ordering a round of cocktails and an appetizer while we perused the menu, we were quite pleased with our experience. However, during what should have been a seamless ordering process, a moment occurred that significantly detracted from our celebration. As my girlfriend, the guest of honor, was in the midst of placing her main course order, Rafael's attention was abruptly diverted by another table. He then proceeded to leave our table mid-sentence to assist them. This left my girlfriend quite literally mid-word, suspended in an unfinished sentence, while he attended to others. While I understand that busy environments can present challenges, this particular interruption, especially during such a significant personal moment for our birthday girl, felt like a considerable lapse in service. It was an unfortunate misstep in an otherwise pleasant evening, and it felt particularly jarring given Rafael's otherwise impeccable service. It was, as I noted internally, a 'fatal flaw' from an otherwise exemplary young man. I wanted to bring this to the managers attention as constructive feedback. We genuinely appreciated Rafael's professionalism and knowledge, and I believe with a minor adjustment to his prioritization during order-taking, he could elevate his service even further. We appreciated the atmosphere and hope this feedback is helpful. Sincerely, The Five women from WISCONSIN Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone read more

Found this gem while on vacation. Drinks fantastic. Atmosphere eclectic. Service top notch and now the food. We had split the Cesar salad for a starter. Delicious!!! Not sure how they made the Parmesan crisp bit it was umami. I skeptically tried the chicken parm. It was absolutely fantastic. Not Italian flavors you would expect but so yummy!! We ended our meal with the mango cheesecake and while we tried not finish it. Was too good! If I lived in town this would be my go to place to try new things. read more

The drinks are really good. So I highly recommend the alcoholic drinks. Cheers to the bartender. They definitely did their thing. The food? My order was horrible. I was at a table of SIX PEOPLE. We ordered food at different times throughout night. It should not have been overwhelming at all for the waiter nor the cook. Nor was it busy. The naked fried wings tasted like they were dipped in toilet water. They were bland. No seasoning at all. Not even salt and pepper were used to cook them. Highly do NOT recommended unless you are a sauce person. Dipped in sauce definitely helps with the taste. And you will be charged for the sauce on the side. My husband got the fettuccine Alfredo. He enjoyed it. I thought the grilled chicken was a little hard and again no seasoning. However, the fettuccine was not nearly as bad as the wings. The menu states the gratuity is added for parties of EIGHT or more. However it was automatically added for our party of 6. I was already leaving at least a 20% tip even though the service was mediocre. However, this added to the side eye I was giving due to the type of service we were already receiving. Im curious to know if this is truly a new policy and just has not been updated on their menu yet. The service. The manager was attentive and very open to feedback which I appreciated. The waiter was okay.. No real negative complaints and no outstanding remarks. I enjoyed the music. They played something for everyone to enjoy. Very diverse. Would I come back again? Yes.. just would probably not get any food. Would I recommend this place for others to try? Yes... To form your own opinion. Especially because the drinks were so good. And hopefully by the time you visit, they have made the necessary adjustments. read more

Wasn't sure about this place when we walked in; the nightclub atmosphere really threw me, but our server was pleasant, and dinner turned out to be really good!

Beyond The Sun - Caesar Classic Salad - Seafood Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I visited the place 1/4/25 for a birthday celebration for a friend. Pros: staff was nice and the drinks were cute Cons: limited parking in the rear, but come to find out you can park at Walgreens and Taco Bell (which I didn't see this noted on their site would have helped) The seating is very close together to everyone else, so not much privacy to your own party / group. The main thing- I read the reviews prior to going and saw that the reoccurring thing was the food wasn't so good, even though it had 4.2 dating on open table, I figured I still give it a shot. Well unfortunately the food was not good. I ordered the machi machi - it was just okay, vegetables undercooked. My friends ordered fajitas, I tried some it lacked seasoning, and the twilight fettuccine - the chicken was chewy and rubbed / hard - disgusting. For the price of these dishes, the food was not good at all. I wouldn't recommend this place because of the food. I didn't even finish my plate. read more

We were a party of 6 on New Years Eve. It took an hour and 15 minutes after we ordered to get our food. The food was mediocre and definitely not worth the price. Soup was cold, cocktail sauce tasted like straight ketchup, mussels weren't open (bad sign!). There was a lot of staff but all seemed very confused like it was their first day open. They had so many people crammed in to a small room that there was no way it was in compliance with fire code. It was an overall very poor dining experience. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Chicken Marsala was fantastic! Loved the interior and I had an awesome bartender/server named Logan who was great! Will be back with family and friends- thank you! read more

While the ambiance is real nice for a date night and even a group dinner, unfortunately the food is mid. For starters, only certain items can be ordered at the table, the ones I wanted you could only order at the bar. Secondly, it seemed a bit unorganized for our party and tight space. Now the food .where do I begin? First $25 for tacos? No. Things are overpriced almost as if you are paying for the decor. The whole menu should be available and it isn't. Also there's not enough variety and none of us got full. We were a party of 16. I think that they need to tweak their prices and menu, especially for the money that's being asked. read more

I have been here a few times. I love the decor and the food I had was pretty good as well. I mainly came for drinks at the bar. I have always had exceptional service. The people there are fantastic!

The food was just terrible. Too salty to eat, even my salad was over salted. The restaurant was empty. We were a party of 4, we asked if we could sit at a larger table and she would not let us.

Gosh, this place was really impressive. We had a group of 18 and service was on point. One person ordered the guac and was blown away by it, so was getting excited about the food to come! I didn't drink, but several in our party mentioned how phenomenal the bloody Mary's were. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries and was very impressed. I ate every bite! My wife, a vegetarian, ordered the vegan carbonara, and was blown away. She gave me a bite as well and it was very complex and delicious! Also heard several mention how amazing the chicken parm was. Anyways, I'm sorry the group that had a minor issue tried to bombard this place with negative reviews to make them look bad, but we were all so happy with our experience! Reminded me of a Vegas joint! read more

I was very surprised to see the negative reviews when I brought up Yelp to write a review. My wife and I went down early for a dinner reservations to another Resturant with the plan of finding a place for drinks before our appointed diner time. We did not know about Beyond the Sun until we walked by it. We walked in and was greated by a friendly staff who were more than happy to let us set at the bar. Our bar tenders were friendly and attentive, we enjoyed several drinks, all of the made perfectly. Since we had reservations at another Resturant we did not try the food, but based on the crowd of patrons setting in the Resturant, the place is popular. We said our good bys and have planned to make reservations at Beyond the Sun for a date night in the future. read more
