We visited Reardon's Fruit Market and Garden Center and saw this Bistro across the street and…read moredecided to try it out for lunch. What a gem!!! We had a conversation with the owner who has degrees in Food Science and Culinary Arts, and is passionate about "changing the world with food." The inside is cozy, inviting, and meticulously clean. There is a small bar area and an area of table seating. Outdoor seating is available as well. The bistro is known for one of its appetizer small plates of deviled eggs. The owner said that the recipe for the eggs is one of the few things he is not wiling to share! Employees and patrons have drawn pictures of deviled eggs that are displayed on a wall space. I opted for the grilled chicken Greek salad. Greek salad is a favorite of mine and I have eaten it from numerous restaurants. By far, this was the best I have ever had. The artful presentation, fresh ingredients, and decadent flavors were a real treat. The chicken was so tender and again, the flavor bloomed in my mouth. The owner brought out a small serving of homemade peach ice cream that had been made the day before with fresh peaches. I simply have no words for how delicious it was. I will let my husband describe his experience in his yelp account, but I will say that after having salmon the night before at an 'upscale' restaurant in Louisville, he commented that the salmon at this bistro "blew it away!" People often say "I will return and try other menu options," when in fact they do not follow through. That will not be the case with us, we both agree that we cannot wait to return!

My wife and I were in Crestwood, KY visiting a local nursery just off LaGrange Rd and spied the…read moreCrestwood Bistro across the road and decided to stop in for lunch. Once again we found an absolute GEM of a spot just out kicking around. In conversation with the owner we discovered that he has degrees in both culinary arts and food science. His blended knowledge in these areas contributes to exquisite dishes. My wife had an exceptional Greek salad w/ chicken while I opted for a mixed green salad with grilled salmon; easily the finest piece of fish I have eaten in Louisville. It was grilled to perfection with a spice mixture of his own creation which he would not divulge! At the end of the meal we were severed a sample of his homemade peach ice cream. If you prescribe to the old adage that eating out is about the food not the upscale expensive vibe than this place is it! We will be back again soon!

For $15, you get the featured entrée, one side, and your choice of a soda, tea, glass of wine, or bottled beer. We arrived just before 7:00 p.m., and there was already a wait--which is usually a good sign at a local restaurant. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, the waitstaff is attentive, the food is delicious, and the beer is cold. There are plenty of TVs for watching sports, plus both indoor seating and an outdoor patio. If you're looking for a casual restaurant near Landis Lakes or the Middletown area, Gander is a solid choice--especially on Monday nights. We'll definitely be back, again!

Parking is slim but close if you get a spot. Prices are good. Service was so so. Food was just okay. It could be it was more of a regional preference on cook and taste. My Cornbread was definitely well done compared to others I saw. They should not have served it. The sauce on the ribs was good and they were tender, however; not fresh in my opinion. My husband did like the catfish. The green beans and sweet potatoes had a flavor we didn't care for. The dining room was nice and simple. Fans were there to move the air which was good.

**5 Google/Yelp Review -- Sam's Chicago Grill**…read more As a native Chicagoan, I don't hand out praise for Italian beef lightly -- but Sam's earned it. The beef is thin-sliced, slow-roasted, and soaked in real au jus, piled on a roll that actually holds up when you get it dipped. The Chicago dog is done right too: all-beef, dragged through the garden with mustard, relish, onion, tomato, sport peppers, and celery salt -- no ketchup in sight, exactly how it should be. What really sets this place apart is Sam himself. He couldn't have been more cordial, and it's clear he genuinely cares about getting the details right instead of dumbing it down for a non-Chicago crowd. He was happy to talk shop with a fellow Chicagoan and went out of his way to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. That kind of pride and hospitality is rare, and it shows in every bite. If you're missing home or just curious what real Chicago street food tastes like, get to Cane Run Road. Highly recommend -- this is the real thing.

I didn't need to wait long, service is extremely quick & fresh! I loved my sub! they had mozzarella ontop that threw me off a bit but a nice add on, my fries were dusted with parm & they give a generous amount of everything which is nice, so you do get your money worth! I personally prefer extra dipped so I have a soggy bread, the flavor is just different versus the dry Italian. The meat is very thinly cut & the peppers were yummy & traditional with carrots, cauliflowers, onions. I'd def go back for sure!

Was SO happy we decided to have dinner at the Town tonight. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The red yeti is a staple. It's one of those places you just have to experience, expose and explore…read moreat least yourself once in a lifetime. Food is tasty, made out of a mixture of southern hospitality and outstanding mixtures of flavors that all come together to bring you a classic small, yet dive-bar feel with the charm of a 1980's diner. Every time I go to the yeti I try to sit by the windows to catch a glance of the beautiful sunset and epic views of Indiana that could come through with a few vintage cars. Hence, needless to mention that the customer service is top notch here and is a good alone reason to come back for more. (Not to mention the eccentric decor and wall color adds personality to the place) Always, happy to go to the yeti then head for an ice cream to pearl's by the bridge.

Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Please go try it!

This is a pay what you can, pay it forward to help others if you can, roll up your sleeves and work for your meal setup. So, you might think...ah, cool, enjoy your canned soup and turkey sandwich, I'll go to a "real" restaurant. This would be foolish. The food is every bit as good as you'll find in a more traditional, for-profit setup. They focus on locally sourced ingredients and have a seasonal menu as a result. The food is delicious. Menu is delightfully trim but with something for every taste (salads, soups, sandwiches, sides). Had some meatloaf sliders with pimento cheese when I was there that I'd like to replicate at home. My friends raved about their selections as well. Service is amazingly friendly and attentive. I'm not sure anyone's glass dropped below half-full. And the servers were happy to share the stories behind the concept, which showed the pride they had in the venture. Everyone is welcome here. Might have a table of folks in suits next to a table of folks stopping in from their factory shift next to a table with someone who's looking for a good meal and will be washing dishes after he eats to pay his fare. Just welcoming, casual, good-feeling place.

We definitely found the right place. The patio area with the Koi pond and waterfall was perfect. My wife and I had the Fried Green Tomatoes and Selena's Crab Caps.

Our server was great and one of the owners did come by to check on us also. I would definitely come back to try more of their food.

This is a "bless their heart" review - they tried…read more The wait staff is very friendly. The ambience is dark, rustic, and homey. The coffee is good. They could elevate the coffee service by putting a small container of actual cream on the table instead of the tiny plastic coffee containers that they use at McDonalds. Beignets - do NOT get. These are not traditional beignets. These are heavy, flat, limp square-shaped dough of unknown origin. They stick to the roof of your mouth - literally. Not ideal. We are from South Louisiana. Honestly, they would be better served using a mix from Cafe du Monde in New Orleans or Coffee Call in Baton Rouge. The mixes also are not as good as the places make them in Louisiana, but they would be a far better cry than what is being served. The grits and eggs are devoid of flavor. The eggs were fluffy though. The waffle...let's just say they'd be better off using a good commercial mix as well. Hampton Inn's are better for expectation purposes. The biscuits and gravy were good. The hash is basically cheesy potatoes and once you get beyond the misnomer of hash, they're really good. Maybe we ordered poorly, but I don't think that's the case.
