BEST MEXICAN BREAKFAST SPOT This restaurant will have a cult following soon. It's just amazing. The food is incredibly delicious and it feels like you're eating at a Michelin 5 Star. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is cozy. The restaurant is new and has been remolded. Try the Mexican coffee and finish your meal with the churros.

Horchata Aqua Frescas
Jessica K.

The food here, as I said in another review on Google, is incomparable. Portions are generous, and the food is made with love, care, and generous spices. The staff are incredibly warm, excited to see you, and (time and level of traffic allowing) happy to make recommendations and conversation. The decor is charming, very amusing (Cafecito y Chisme light tickles me). The colors are warm and inviting. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to steal someone my daughter's horchata aqua frescas while I try to make space for dessert.

Biscuits & Chorizo Gravy
Jack S.

Stopped by for Sunday brunch. We were able to get a table pretty quickly despite arriving during peak brunch time. We ordered a the chorizo biscuits and gravy which were a fun twist on a classic. The service was great and the staff was all incredibly friendly. Next time I definitely want to check out one of the sweet offerings. They looked like a great indulgent treat!

The place is very clean and the service was excellent. We had the pancakes and French toast. I also had the hot chocolate. The food was delicious. I didn't care for the hot chocolate. I think it had cinnamon in it. There is plenty of parking in the back.

Be sure to double check what you are being charged when you get your check. When we first dined here, we weren't told they charge an upcharge of 3.99% for using a credit card. I paid it and let it go. However, we returned this past week with CASH so we wouldn't have to pay the upcharge. Our server asked if we would be paying with cash or card. We told her cash. We paid our check and I stuffed the receipt in my pocket. When I got home I pulled the receipt out and looked at it. The 3.99% upcharge had been added eventhough I paid with cash. This whole upcharge scam being employed by more and more restaurants is bad enough. But when you pay cash and it's still added is downright unethical. Once I realized what had happened, I called the phone number on my receipt. The person that answered identified himself as Noe the owner. I explained what had happened and he said he would make it right. I'm supposed to bring the check back in and they will refund the the charge. I did have a fairly large check so it's more than a few cents. Noe blamed Clover, the name of his credit card processor. I thought to myself, I didn't use a credit card??? Noe mentioned he also charges the upcharge at his other restraurant Hoopsters in Jeff. I told him that yes, we had eaten there also and was not told about the upcharge until my card had been charged. I also told him I have a problem with these upcharges when there are no signs stating the upcharge anywhere on the premises and the server doesn't mention it when you hand them your card. Noe said Hoopsters has new menus and it's now stated on the menu. He actually said it's now in small print at the bottom of Hoopster's menu. Unfortunately, we really like the food at El Mananero, but I will not tolerate these 'gotcha' tactics so many of these restaurants now employ. It's their loss as we and our friends eat out numerous times every week. Any restaurant that employs upcharges should make it known either by signage or prominently displayed on the menu. PERIOD!

Stopped in El Mananero to group some breakfast since I was running early. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean. I ordered the Burrito mananero to go. It was Avery good size and flavorful. Will try the restaurant again.

Great place for breakfast - outstanding service - food nearly as good - Mexican themed with a few American choices - certainly worth a try.

True gem of a spot in the Highlands! Food is superb, cocktails are varied and exquisite,…read moreatmosphere is cozy but classy, and service is five stars-plus. As to details...menu varies, which I like. There are always some higher end options (steaks, duck, and such), which are always exceptional, but I truly love the every burger option I've tried...cooked beautifully, seasoned masterfully, cannot go wrong. Drinks are fantastic, and you can get a liquor for any taste (I admittedly gravitate towards bourbon drinks, and there are some damn fine ones here, but the skill of the bartenders compels me to branch out when I'm here). It's not a huge space. Some weeknights, you can get in easily. Weekends, maybe not so much. Reservations are never a bad idea (even if just via OpenTable). Service is too notch. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, attentive...other places could learn from the standard set here. All told, it's by no means a cheap spot to go, but it's well worth a visit...or two or three or more.

Same old same, and what does that mean? Same 5 star…read moreservice. Same 5 star taste, and same 5 star ambience across multiple visits. Busy night, little longer than. Kemal wait for drinks and food, but it wasn't noticeable enough to matter. The food was amazing. From the apps to dessert, the mouth waters with every bite. Also highly recommended-the maple old fashioned! It's also 5 stars! Check the pics! Our server was on point, profession and had great recommendations. It's a nice up-scale feel and gourmet for sure. (I didn't start the timer this time!)

La Chasse - Between water, wine, champagne and Isaac's latest cocktail it was hard not to be over served. The stemware is quality.

Such a Beautiful Louisville Experience! My husband & I came…read moreto Le Relais for our 12th wedding anniversary, & it ended up being such a special part of our evening. The restaurant has this beautiful old world atmosphere that feels romantic without feeling overly formal or stuffy. It has so much character, just being there felt like an experience. The food was wonderful, the service was attentive without being intrusive, & the whole evening had a really relaxed, intimate feeling to it. It's the kind of place where you actually want to sit & longer over your food instead of feeling rushed out the door. The price is absolutely worth it, Le Relais delivered that! Definitely one of those places that feels like a little piece of Louisville history. I'd happily come back for another special evening!

We've loved this place in the past, so we were really excited to come back. The ambiance is…read morewonderful, and our server was fantastic--really great service all around. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to what we remembered. The lamb was flavorful, but the chicken Milanese was very disappointing. It tasted burnt and had almost no flavor, and the salad was plain and bland as well. The bread and butter were great, but honestly, that was probably the highlight of the meal. We decided to give dessert a try and ordered the orange soufflé, hoping to end the meal on a high note. Unfortunately, even that was bland. We were expecting a nice fresh orange flavor, but there really wasn't much orange flavor at all. We really wanted to love this place again, especially because we've had such good experiences here in the past. Sadly, this visit just missed the mark. If we do go back, we'll probably stick with the steak. Great atmosphere and wonderful service--just very disappointing food this time around.

They were lovely so we had to check out their restaurant! 211 clover lane is a hidden gem. Go in the summer and sit on the patio--it's dreamy and private and feels like you're not in Louisville anymore. It's the perfect spot for brunch with friends or a romantic dinner date. John was working the night we came and personally served us. The food was delicious, see pics. Calamari, beef short ribs, New York strip, creme brulee, tiramisu, and CC ranch Cabernet. All amazing!

Not long after we were seated, a family with a very upset, screaming child was seated directly behind us. Our outstanding server, Garrett, immediately recognized the situation and kindly moved us to a quiet corner table in another room. That thoughtful gesture made all the difference and truly elevated our experience. The restaurant itself is full of charm, with cozy, beautifully decorated dining rooms that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bar area is especially stunning and worth taking a moment to admire. Every dish we ordered was delicious, but the standout was the praline caramel cake. My husband said it was one of the best desserts he's had in years--and I couldn't agree more. We can't wait to return!

We walk in, and are immediately hit with good smells. We both said "mmm". Then we were sat in the bar, and we were greeted by the heart of the evening, our server bartender, Jaedyn. She immediately had the sweetest aura & was so pleasant. We found out that she was new to the restaurant & we were so excited for her! We both started with 2 drinks. I got the Marilyn, and my husband got the Passion Fruit Martini. They were absolutely delicious. His was exactly how he likes it, it's sweet, light, and not super strong on the alcohol taste lol. Mine was made with Japanese gin, which was a first for me, and blackberry. It was a really kicker start to the experience. S/o to Jaedyn. Then we started with our own personal "appetizer", and decided to get a ceasar salad (I was ecstatic about the anchovies) and he got the tomato basil soup. When we got them, it was a "wow" moment. We started digging in and my husband said "I could have about 100 of these toast things", and by then, it was too late to even get a picture lol, so sorry that isn't pictured I took a few bites of his and he took a few bites of mine and we were happy campers to say the least. Thank you Chef. Jaedyn suggested a couple more drinks, and my husband and I trusted. I got the Basil Gimlet, and he got the Lemon Drop Martini. I'm not kidding you all, the basil gimlet is probably the best drink I've ever had in my life. I'll think about this every day. For dinner, we both felt like fries as a side was what we both were craving, and he decided on the Bistro Burger, and I decided on the Fish and Chips. The proof is in the pictures, it was stunnin'. Every bite...every single bite, down to the tomato consumé, was delicious. Thank you Chef. Grace was the FOH manager, and stopped by our table & was SO gracious and friendly that it was just bursting with contagious joy. We told her we wanted to come back and see Jaedyn again, that this was the new date night spot, and that I'll be celebrating my birthday here. she even came back with our dessert, the Blueberry Pie Bar. Warm, and topped with a quality ice cream. Let's just say, the entire experience was superb. From the gentle spirits that surrounded us, to the emotion the food carried, this was the best experience we have literally ever had anywhere. That's why I'm taking the time to write this post in appreciation and eagerness to go again. Support this place, celebrate, and take yourself out on a date. Board & You, thank you!
