Papaya cream

My friends and I dined here and got the full Churrasco Experience(tm)! As always I aim for the filet mignon, picahnia and the garlic variations. They were so, so delicious. I'm also a sucker for their carbs - pao de queijo are a favorite of mine (I make them from scratch at home) and the yucca fries were not dense like other yucca fries I've had before. We all got seconds of our favorite appetizers and I went ahead with the dessert and drink - they do not disappoint! The service was incredibly friendly and answered all of our questions about pronunciation, followed up on our requests for particular meat and kept checking in on us. The vibe is of a high class dining establishment and the staff are in nice uniforms, hats off to them!

Steakhouse has been better in the past. We were greeted and seated within minutes, had drinks within 5 minutes. Great start! Salad area - very clean, well stocked with plenty of choices- lettice, mixed greens, veggies, cheese and dressings. Caesar dressing is my favorite- pepper in flavor and not too much anchovy paste- which is great. Freah mozzarella balls were delicious- cold, pull apart and full of great textured bites. Steaks were under seasoned and required salt to enhance the flavors. Favorite was bacon wrapped filet- most was overcooked but on ocxasion I got to snag a medium cooked bite. Chicken- my favorite, asked a few times - took an hour to get chicken breast- which was moist and had hints of garlic and parmesan. Only was able to get 2 pieces- which was a disappointment. Cinnamon grilled pineapple- such a great addtion- full of cinnaomon and citrus in every bite and was a great palate cleanser.

Love brazilian steakhouses. We have been to Fogo de Chao & Texas de Brazil and this was very similar, but a more local chain. It was a really positive experience. The salad bar was good and the complimentary appetizers were delicious. The meats were all tasty and the dessert was likewise good. Excellent spot in Louisville.

Plantains, fried cornmeal, and mashed potatoes

After a long weekend of soccer, we visited Brazeiros to refuel and celebrate a successful tryout. There's free street parking on Sundays, so we parked down the block. We arrived around 4pm, and the restaurant was fairly empty. There's a nice wine & spirits bar just inside the entrance. The decor is modern and masculine with wood accents, a wine wall, and a Bourbon tower near the salad bar. Brazeiros also features a private room where you can host an event. We ordered the Gaucho Experience so we could try all 15+ of the meats. They let us start out at the salad bar first, but this wasn't my first Brazilian BBQ experience -- I think I grabbed a couple pieces of cheese, and that's it. The meats started coming at a reasonable pace. We'd grab our slices, and proceed to eat them. After a few stops, the servers started coming faster and faster. It was hard to keep up with the onslaught of deliciousness. There were so many choices, it's hard to pick a favorite. Steak, chicken, lamb, pork, and more. And don't forget the amazing cheesebread. All were delicious and it was hard to turn down the servers as my belly started getting full. As usual, Brazilian BBQ dinners can be expensive. If you show up before 3pm, there's a bit of a discount. But the food and experience was well worth it.

Wow what an experience.. we came to celebrate a friend's birthday. I made the reservation and we were seated as soon as the group arrived. Our server was quick to get our drinks order and since this was my first time and everyone else in the group has already been here. He still took the time to explain the service. The salad bar was a nice touch but can get crowded quickly. They had a couple meat & cheese options, some veggies options and then salad toppings with different lettuce options. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any pictures from the pace of dinner and not enough hand to hold plates and my phone. Once we got our salad plates made, they started bringing out some sides, mashed potatoes, fried polenta and fried bananas. The mashed potatoes were flavorful and the fried polenta was good too, light salt and just enough crisp. The fried bananas were my favorite just a hint of sweetness. But the stars of the show were the meats. Also let me say that the meat servers were precise and speedy dancing their way through the dining room. They were quick to identify who had there card on red or green. All the meats were cooked to perfection. The chicken and the lamb were my favorite. I recommend getting some of the sauces on the salad bar some of the meats weren't really seasoned but their sauces are a nice compliment. The seat is nice however the tables are a bit congested and have to find a path of least resistance to get up to the bathroom or salad bar. Overall great experience, good service, there was some lagging/confusion on us getting the dessert menu and the food was good. Parking is street/ garage parking wherever you can find around 4th street.

Beef including ribeye
Manuel G.

I had a great experience! Food: counted about 7+ meats going around, lamb, chicken, beef, all with their own unique delicious taste and warm fresh! Staff: kind, active and knowledgeable, keeping your glass filled and happy Inside: warm with a successful intricacy of light moods between dim and bright

Not a good night.
Bob W.

Really disappointing experience. The meat was mostly overcooked, and the servers left the table as quickly as they could whenever they had the chance. The woman cutting the meat was the worst--she often skipped over everyone else at the table who wanted to be served without even asking. We had asked her a time or two to come back but she walked off as she didn't hear us. This visit was especially strange since our last was great. Hopefully, this was just a one-off, but given the cost, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon. We also waited at least ten minutes for drinks, clearly they had forgotten them. Wrong drinks refilled the second time. Throughout the night I was also given cuts from the wrong side requested. All of this on a Saturday night where you would expect to be A+ because of the traffic. Too expensive for the quality.

I cannot say enough about this place. The vibe is amazing and the whole meal is an experience. Each server is extremely friendly and polite. It has become a tradition for my boyfriend and me to visit this restaurant each year for his birthday. They also offer you a free dessert for your birthday. This is on the higher end, but it is an experience worth the price!! Will be going back each year, if not more!

All the meat you can eat. Now, with that said, the meat is the treat here. So, if you truly want to feel you got your money's worth...skip the salad. The salad is good, but $ for $, the best bang for the buck is (I counted 8 different offerings) the steak, chicken, sausage, ribs, and lamb. There was even grilled garlic bread and grilled pineapple. The sides of mashed potatoes, plantains, and fried polenta sticks were not impressive. The tables are very close together, so maneuvering throughout the dining room can be a little tight and noisy. The servers were above average. They have it down to a science, and you pay your waiter. This was a pricey experience, but if you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse, it is worth it for a special occasion or bragging rights about how long you hung in there before turning that disk over to red.

Maggie C.

This is very similar to a chain back home, fogo de chao. It's all you can eat, with a salad bar, and meats. Salad bar was ok. In comparison to what I have experienced in Kansas City at fogo, the salad bar is MUCH smaller, and the full experience is a good 5$ more. Service however, was impeccable. It could have been because I was the only single patron eating in the dining room, but the servers remembered what I liked and how well I liked my meats. I was checked up on often and everyone was very friendly. I did order a Manhattan, and it was poured a bit low into my glass.... For a $16 Manhattan, I did expect a full pour. Same sides as fogo too. The same gf cheese bread, plantains, mashed potatoes, and fries.

New York cheesecake with Strawberry drizzle.....Very good! The atmosphere,  the food, the service was great!

It's top-tier drinks and eats. They also have a Valet, so parking doesn't have to be a headache. The Old Fashioned was one of the best I've had. The crab cake had virtually no visible filler & was encased in a light, crunchy panko crust. It seemed to be a higher price-point at $25 for one crab cake, but buying a jar of good lump crab at a grocery store is about the same price and quantity. I also had some of my newly befriended bar-neighbor's Sweet Potatoes, at their instance, and I was blown away. Clearly they're slow roasted, blended, and then topped with pecans, toasted marshmallows, and some kind of crunchy corn flake magic. Money can't buy love, but it can buy perfectly crafted Bourbon drinks and food you will be dreaming about for years. 10/10 You get what you pay for. Fantastic service. Fantastic food/bev. Fantastic ambiance. This place is pure "cool and refined."

Disappointing Experience for the Price…read more I was really disappointed with my experience at Repeal Steakhouse. I sat at the bar for dinner, and it took quite a while for someone to come over and ask me what I wanted to order. The French onion soup was just okay, but the homemade bread was extremely dry and stale. It honestly tasted like a roll that had been sitting out for a couple of days. The service was even more disappointing. A gentleman sat down at the bar after me, placed his order, and managed to receive his salad, steak, and side dish before I even received my steak. Eventually, someone came over to check on me, and I had to ask where my food was. When my steak finally arrived, a woman sitting next to me -- who appeared to be affiliated with the restaurant -- had to point out that I hadn't even been given silverware. Unfortunately, the experience didn't improve when it came time to pay. After spending over $100 on dinner for one, my check was essentially dropped in front of me without a thank-you or any acknowledgment of my visit. When my credit card was returned, it was placed in front of me just as casually, again without a word. At a restaurant at this price point, I expect more than just a meal. I expect attentive service, food that reflects the quality the restaurant is charging for, and basic courtesy. Sadly, none of those things came together during my visit. Louisville has plenty of dining options, and this experience did not live up to what I expected from a steakhouse of this caliber. For the price, I left feeling overlooked and genuinely disappointed.

She recommended the seasonal truffle cream corn, which was an absolute must-order, and the mac and cheese with bacon was incredible. The martinis were also on point! What stood out most, though, was Adrienne's service. She made me feel welcomed and taken care of throughout the entire evening and turned an already wonderful dinner into such a memorable first visit.

I got the horseradish creme fraiche for it, but it really needed nothing additional, it was that good on its own. My side was the Caramelized Brussels Sprouts (fried with bacon, candied pecans and finished with aged balsamic). If i had anything negative to say about our time here, it would be this dish. I adore brussels sprouts and this was too heavy on the balsamic and oil. I probably would not get this again, but thats OK! There are like 10 other options to choose from!

Decided on the Smokehouse Sampler $36 to make everyone happy. This is easily enough food for several meals unless you're starving and/or a committed carnivore. The sampler included 4 ribs, pulled pork, tender sliced brisket, a quarter of dark roasted chicken, and andouille sausage links. This menu item does not include any specific choice of sides, but does have 2 sauce dips, fried onion, pickles, onions, and bread tucked into the order. Chose 2 separate orders for sides $6 each of succotash (smoky goodness with bits of roasted corn, Lima beans, tomato, green beans, onion) and fried okra (spicy crunchy coating and some whole okra in the mix), which thrilled my veggie-leaning appetite. Based on quality and quantity of food, would deem this a great value and as expected comparatively to other venues. Employees were welcoming and friendly with the ordering and pickup process. Restaurant seemed well staffed and bustling with more of a downtown touristy clientele, but worth a local visit if timed correctly. Would return in the future.

Service here gets a solid 5 stars -- everyone was attentive and personable. Ambience earns a strong 4 stars with a nice vibe that fits the area. The menu itself is intriguing, and every dish we ordered came out at the right temperature and well‑executed. Overall flavor was good. The desserts, however, didn't quite match the caliber we hoped for -- though to be fair, we're not professional food critics, so take that for what it's worth. Not sure yet if we'd return. If we did, it'd probably be with a larger group so we could share the dishes we enjoyed and make the price point feel a little more balanced. That said, the location is perfect for out‑of‑towners staying at the nearby hotels and those hitting the area's higher‑end entertainment spots.

The vibe it a modern, upscale chic as the restaurant sits in the base of a hotel so it fosters all walks of life and caters to leaving a more casual vibe for the guests of a hotel. The staff is attentive and keeps up with the clientele, with lags when it gets busy which we experienced during Sunday brunch. The staff was frantically trying to keep up with the patrons, but it was a fool's errand as we filled the place faster than they could keep up with us, resulting in a lag for refills and getting the check at the end. The food lived up to what we had read, serving up large and hearty plates and having a really varied menu. I went with the brisket hash and regret nothing. It was exactly what I was hoping for: generous portions of shredded brisket, potatoes, and peppers/onions, all served in the skillet it was prepared. Other dishes looked like they could be amazing as well, but we stayed on the more savory side as far as things went.
