    the front of the restaurant
    Kenny W.

    One recent Saturday afternoon after our drive to Frankfort Ky and seeing the beautiful and scenic Buffalo Trace distillery grounds. We built a appetite for dinner. We happen to see Jim's seafood at the Kentucky river damn so we stopped in for a early meal. From the front entry and waiting area the decor had a pleasant with a welcoming feel. What a great view from its deck! We spoke to a welcoming host who we told we like take out to enjoy on the elevated outdoor deck. Since this was our first time visiting Jim's we were interested in a box for two or any recommendations. Our host pleasantly explained the specials and favorites. We decided on the white fish with slaw and fries a meal plenty for two. While waiting for our order in comfortable room we learned of the areas heritage of Jim's and it's tied to the Kentucky river. ( I've included a few pictures ). After a few minutes we received our order the host showed us our take out and asked if everything was in order. It looked wonderful so we made our way to the overlook. Our fish was cooked perfectly with large enough portions to satisfy our hunger. The slaw was house made fresh crisp and lite, our fries hot and tasty. Great spot or indoor dining or a casual outdoor patio Jim's fits the bill. Jim's must be a popular spot as we were leaving the large parking lot was filling quickly. I recommend arriving early. I hope you enjoy Jim's as much as we did. Easy access with plenty of lot parking. Very clean facilities.

    Apparently Jim's Seafood has been around a very long time. In fact, I'm told my Great-Grandparents used to enjoy date night there. I hadn't been since middle-school, and now as a hungry 30-year-old, thought I'd give it a try during lunch. I was craving a good fish sandwich and I try to avoid fast-food, so I journeyed to the other side of town with hopes I could get there and back in an hour. Well, the view and the whitefish sandwich (with onion rings) were both fantastic. I can't give 5 stars as there were minor details missing in the service, but that fish sandwich was very good and the rye bread tasted like it might have been broiled with a bit of butter to toast it on one side. I may go back again this week. Edit: Went back with the hubby and he got the fried catfish (delicious) with brussel sprouts (so-so) and mashed potatoes (also so-so). I got the shrimp scampi which is served over wild rice. I have to say that the fried fish is still the star and I'll keep the review at 4 stars only for the fried fish and onion rings. Nothing else overly impressed me at this place. Advise to management: 1) Clean the windows, people come for the view. 2) remove the paper signs about lifting the blinds (it cheapens the place) 3) Refresh the recipe for the brussel sprouts, there are some great ones out there! 4) Recommended the fried fish! It's really the thing you do well.

    Have you ever thought, "I'm hungry for food that's a little less delicious than I could make for myself?" Then this is the place for you. Literally no seasonings used in the production of my meal. I had grilled gulf shrimp (smallest I've ever seen) with broccoli and Brussel sprouts. Veggies were the kind you get for $1 in the Kroger frozen food section then steam in the bag. But at home I would have added butter and seasoning. Server came a total of two times. Once to take or order and once to bring the food. He never ever checked on us. We had to ask a manager for the bill. And the windows look as though no one has ever cleaned them ever. Gross.

    Stoped in after tour of the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The location is next to Kentucky River lock 4 and visible from the restaurant and a plus. In the summer there is also outdoor seating next to the river and a view of the lock. + The exterior sign drew us in...its a keeper. + Food: onion rings; baked potato; coconut shrimp with Coleslaw. We didn't really get a dinner but the food was nice sized and filling.

    Great food. Great service. Wonderful updates to the interior. Fried green tomatoes were top notch! Cole slaw was on point. Alaskan whitefish and fries were served steaming hot and were delicious. Well done!

    Our first adventure here at Heirloom. We love coming to Midway! The Main Street is a charmer…read more Plenty to shop, eat, and drink here for sure! Heirloom did not disappoint! The atmosphere is super cozy and we felt welcomed from our first steps in. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and we met Michaela who took fabulous care of us for the evening! We settled in to a couple of their specialty cocktails (midwinters night dream and cardamaro manhattans - yummy I'll say) and the Brussel Sprout starter. Let me say to come hungry because the portions are large but yummy. The sprouts are a meal all by themselves! But there's more! I had the porcini rubbed filet and Teresa had the cabbage confit. Both portions were sizable and while I know she loved her cabbage, I was in heaven with a perfectly prepared filet that just melted in my mouth. Plus the asparagus spears and the Okinawa sweet potato mash were perfect accompaniment! Sadly, there was so much goodness we ended up bringing some home and we'll have to come back for dessert and another menu sampling. All in all a very memorable experience and a great place for a birthday dinner! But we'll be back just because! Special closing shout out to Michaela for taking such great care of us.

I ordered the burger without the bun or fries, and it was so overly salty that I struggled to finish it. My wife had the CACIO de PEPE, which tasted quite different from what we're used to, and the pasta was overcooked for our liking. My brother-in-law ordered the fish tacos, which were easily the standout dish at the table. My sister's chicken cesar salad was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant itself feels a bit unexpected for a rural setting, which may help explain its strong ratings. For me, though, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again--more of a "fine if someone else suggests it" kind of spot.

My wife had already heard wonderful things about Holly Hills, so we made a reservation without hesitation. At our appointed time, we arrived with friends and were quickly seated. After ordering drinks, we looked over the menu and were excited to see that Holly Hill offers Service à la russe -- a style of dining where each course is served sequentially, allowing you to savor every dish individually. (They even let you choose from several options for each course, which makes the experience even more personal.) I absolutely love this type of service, though my biggest challenge was deciding which delicious-sounding dish to pick for each course! Every plate we had was fantastic. The scallop course was perfectly prepared, and the sweet squash and wild grain soup was rich and flavorful. The duck breast that followed was beautifully cooked, and the apple tart was the perfect ending -- sweet, warm, and comforting. The food was outstanding, but I'd be remiss not to mention the wonderful wait staff. They were friendly, attentive, and really added to the overall experience. I'm already looking forward to the next time my travels bring me near Holly Hill Inn -- I'll definitely be back to enjoy the food (and the hospitality) all over again.
