    First of all, it's in a great location in the business district but it's so inconspicuous that if you blink, you'll miss it like we did. We drove around the block twice and finally saw it. When you enter, you're greeted by friendly staff. We waited on the stools to be seated and offered a drink as we waited. The wait was only 10 minutes. One of the owners, Christa, welcomed us in. She was hard at work helping her staff provide good service. We both ordered the Greek Omelette. The Greek Omelette was so delicious. It was light and fluffy. The feta cheese, olives, onions, little tomato bits were so fresh and perfectly cooked. We were very pleased with our Omelettes. It came with the most delicious, homemade biscuit. One of the best biscuits I've had in a long time. When I'm in the area, I will definitely come back to Geraldine's for a good old-fashioned breakfast. They also had good options for lunch.

    The service was friendly, our server was awesome, and the place has a lot of local charm, but it didn't quite land for us. My mom wasn't a fan of the food and didn't eat much of it. I thought it was okay. The coffee was weak and lacked flavor, though I did see a sign that says its ground in house, so that's cool. The scrambled eggs could use some love, and the country ham was really salty--great if that's your thing, though. The pancakes were yummy. The English muffins weren't really toasted. The food came out lukewarm. There was also some carpet on the wall next to us--interesting choice, though I imagine it's tough to clean. Overall, it felt like the food and space could use a little TLC. I probably wouldn't go back, but it seems like a beloved local spot, so maybe we just caught it on an off day.

    Met a friend for Thursday brunch and skedaddled well before they closed at 2 PM. I ended up with my usual half-order of Rosie's omelet, wheat toast, and tomato juice. IYKYK. It's so good, I'm committed -- almost to the point where I'd be willing to shop for rings. :) Service is always top notch. The restaurant is a cozy and homey reprieve from the outside world. Really appreciate the consistency. Will return.

    Although there was a 25 minute wait for a table(Saturday) we were able to sit on the stools rather than stand. Once seated we were promptly served. Our drink orders were taken and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. It's strictly breakfast and lunch fare as they close at 2 pm. It's nothing fancy but it was filling and really reasonably priced. It's a cute little local place(my oldest daughter enjoyed the ambiance) and had that throwback diner vibe. It's located a block away from the main downtown street(Spring Street) and free street parking is available.

    Locally owned and operated! Clean, cozy atmosphere with fantastic pure Americana breakfast dishes. Wait staff were friendly and relaxing. The biscuits and gravy made this southern man smile! The pancakes are fluffy in the middle with that little hint of crispy on the side. If you're looking for a down-home diner with good food your grandma served.... This is it.

    This was our second time back, but with a much larger group. We were told to call 20 minutes before we planned to arrive to ensure seating (they do not take reservations, but wanted to serve as best as possible). When we arrived the seating we requested was given to another party of 11. The staff quickly realized that they needed to make adjustments. We were sat in booths separately from one another but at least were able to accommodate at least 5 at one and 7 at another. Then service staff are always very attentive and made sure to listen and make corrections quickly if there was an error in food or drinks. We shared French toast, loaded hash browns, loaded tater tots and gooey sweet grilled croissants drizzled in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. This is truly a wonderful breakfast and lunch location that deserves great patrons to enjoy their atmosphere and food!!

    Geraldines kitchen is a downtown Jeffersonville Indiana breakfast and brunch establishment. Me and my wife and our one year old daughter made the short trip from Louisville Kentucky over to Jeffersonville Indiana to run some errands and we want to grab a quick bite for breakfast so we stopped in here to eat. The establishment is very small and has a very cute see small Southern town charm to it. They had some freefun and cute outdoor decorations including some cows and a cardboard cut out for photo ops. We arrived about 11:30 AM and they had a semi-decent crowd but we were sit down after about a five minute wait. The service was a bit on the slower side but they did seem understaffed however the staff was all very nice and courteous to us. I personally ordered loaded hash browns. They were a decent serving size and they packed a pretty good flavor to them. Overall a pretty solid meal. My wife ordered the I Want It All Omelet. She said it was very good and had nice flavors. She also got us a full order of biscuits and gravy to share. She liked them a lot and I was not a fan at all. The gravy was just OK and the biscuits to me were very bland and kind of stale. Overall this is a saw that little place. He has a very small town feel and I'm sure they have tons of regulars who enjoy it a lot. For me personally they could be a little quicker with their service especially on slower days like the day I visited. However if you're in the area and looking for a breakfast or Brunch Place Geraldine's isn't a bad option and worth checking out

    Geraldine was a single Mom of 4 children.  Her love of cooking and hosting friends was the inspiration of this cafe.

Parking is free in the lot and a QR code on the menu gives you access to enter your info including plate number. It's a nice feature for an area where spots are limited.

    I was hosting a business dinner in Louisville last week and wanted to try someplace new. I scanned…read morethe list of James Beard 2025 semifinalists and focused on two spots: MeeshMeesh and The Fat Lamb. MeeshMeesh is wildly popular and books out 60 days in advance, so that wasn't happening--but I was able to secure a timely reservation at The Fat Lamb. That turned out to be a great decision. It was a pleasure meeting Dallas McGarity, the executive chef and owner. He shared that the restaurant has been open for about ten years and that he's preparing to open a new Italian concept. When the topic of his James Beard nomination came up, he mentioned it was a complete surprise--the restaurant didn't self-nominate--which made the recognition feel even more meaningful. One thing I neglected to ask him directly was why lamb plays such a central role on the menu. Our server wasn't entirely sure either, but she did explain how the restaurant got its name. Apparently, Dallas was traveling through the countryside, spotted a particularly memorable "fat lamb" on a farm, and the name stuck. Sometimes it really is that simple. With four of us dining, we may have gone a bit overboard on starters--but no regrets. We shared the roasted Brussels sprouts, lamb kofta meatballs, fontina and truffle arancini, and the whipped feta and pita. Every dish was well-executed and easy to share, which made them ideal for a business dinner. For entrées, my wife and I split the signature tandoori and ancho spice-roasted lamb chops. They were flavorful without being heavy, and the black barbecue sauce added a nice depth. Our server highly recommended the Moroccan-spiced halibut, which our other guests shared and thoroughly enjoyed--especially the mushroom demi-glace. Dessert was the Nutella mousse, another house signature. The Italian cherries and chocolate shavings were a great finishing touch without pushing things into overly sweet territory. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing. The evening flowed naturally--never rushed, never dragging--which is exactly what you want when entertaining clients or colleagues. The Fat Lamb delivered a memorable, well-rounded dining experience and easily earned its reputation. I'd happily return, whether for business or just a great night out.

Halibut and PEI mussels were incredible. Kalbi braised short ribs were incredible. Dining room is small, open and dim, maybe 20 tables. Music is contemporary and nice, kept at a volume that allows easy, quiet conversation. Service is very professional and respectful but not, like, "elite" -- we're still in Louisville. Cost is very high by Louisville standards at $125/person, but I'd say worth it for a 5-course prix fixe menu: an amuse-bouche, 2 seafood courses, a pasta course, a meat entree, and a dessert. I'd recommend skipping the wine pairing and just ordering your own drink(s), the pairing's a $65 add-on and didn't deepen the flavor experience for me. I also think the smoky bourbon dessert is made more for the 'Gram but it's fine, the lemon mochi cake was better. Also read the bill, even tho you'll wanna be classy and act rich when it comes. I think they add gratuity automatically to all bills (they did to ours as a table of 2) -- and that's fine, I actually appreciated it, just check so you don't accidentally double-tip (or do, but do so knowingly). Overall 610 is a lovely, quietly-chic restaurant at the top of the Louisville dining scene, leaning much harder on quality dishes prepared extremely well than on flashiness or gimmicks to set itself apart. I look forward to going back.
