True gem of a spot in the Highlands! Food is superb, cocktails are varied and exquisite, atmosphere 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. read more

Same old same, and what does that mean? Same 5 star service. 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!) read more

Five years since I last enjoyed La Chasse -- wow, I can't believe it's been that long. I have fond memories of dining here, when my husband's grandparents visited town, when a girlfriend and I enjoyed several glasses of wine and apps (we did "girl dinner" before it was a thing) and most recently when my mother in law wanted to come here for her 70th birthday. All have been intimate, enjoyable and delicious meals. During my most recent visit, we found that the menu had been cut down compared to before -- a well curated list of offerings. Looks like there is also a new executive chef compared to the last time I was here. We started with the gravlax crostinis and then grilled brie. Both were great. For my entree I got the lobster grilled cheese, which came with roasted garlic tomato soup. In terms of high end grilled cheese, this was that. The bread was grilled perfectly. I wish there may have been a bit more lobster in my sandwich, but I would happily order this again. We also enjoyed wine and cocktails. I miss the extensive cocktail menu from before, but everyone very much enjoyed what we got. Our server was also helpful in helping us decide what to order. La Chasse is small, so it can be hard to hear what your dinner mates are saying, but you get used to the intimate space. La Chasse has been reliably good with great service over the years. I know we'll be back! read more

This restaurant has been around a while but they posted a reel on IG so I had to check it out! We made a reservation for the following week. It wasn't all that busy on a weekday night but there were a few groups dining in as well. Most of us started with wine. Delicious! We also shared the crab cake. It was well-seasoned with some kind of tomato sauce. So good! They also gave us complimentary bread and butter. Was it rosemary? Not sure the herbs they put in the butter but it was standout! For entrees, I decided on the burger since our server said it's the best in town. My burger was juicy, but the patty itself wasn't the most flavorful. Maybe I like a lot of salt lol The bacon onion jam and Gruyère on it were a nice sweet and savory combo! My friends got the lobster grilled cheese and the cauliflower steak. They really enjoyed everything! The menu is small, but the workers really know the menu. I wouldn't mind coming back to get escargot or steak since it's a French restaurant. It's got a cozy vibe which was nice. It's not a large space but there are a good number of tables. Service was good. There was only one server but she never seemed stressed! She was helpful giving recommendations and explaining the menu. They do have a parking lot at the back, but we found parallel parking right in front of the skate shop next door without an issue. read more

I haven't been back here for a while and came back to try the menu again. I made an early reservation and was the only there when I arrived and was seated quickly. Complimentary bread came out soft and warm! And it came with cheese spread instead of butter. Salmon canapé These were good but a bit too salty because of the smoked salmon and the herb mousse. Duck à l'orange Duck was cooked perfectly and was delicious. It was slightly over salted but it was okay eating it with the thinly cut potatoes. Didn't like the broccolini as much because they were chewy and tough. read more

Saturday night reservation for 6 while we had some family in town. Super lively and busy atmosphere. Our server was wonderful (attentive but not overbearing). Bourbon Brie and lobster fritter appetizer specials were great. The 14oz Ribeye special with asparagus and potatoes and red wine glaze was unforgettable. Everyone at the table loved their entrees which included the salmon, chicken, and cauliflower. We also got creme brûlée and chocolate mousse for a dessert. Only slight issue we had was having the table directly in front of the lone entrance door which had a large group of people standing over top of us for about 15 minutes while waiting for their table. Overall, La Chasse has crept into my top 3 to 4 restaurants in Louisville without a doubt! read more

La Chasse - Espresso Martini - French Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Quaint, old-world feel here; lovely. We had a 7pm reservation on a Wednesday night and were seated immediately. Menus, water, and a crispy French bread with olive oil and garlic were brought out to start, and we ordered the escargot as an appetizer. The escargot was phenomenal; buttery, fresh, tender, and was served with small toasts. Loved this dish, and was a good portion -- some of the holes in the dish had two pieces of meat, plenty for two people to share. For dinner, we ordered the brussel sprout salad to share, it was fantastic -- packed with so many flavors -- along with the salmon and trout. The two fish entrees were unlike anything we've ever had; the sauces and range of flavors were unbelievable. For dessert we opted for the chocolate mousse. I was expecting a small pot of fluffy chocolate (I wasn't expecting a lot from this, just a bite or two of sweetness), but when it arrived, I was so excited to try it. There were hazelnuts, blueberries, fresh whipped creme, and the bowl was a large portion for a dessert. We had plenty to split and feel more than satisfied. This little treat was excellent; creamy, rich, sweet, with notes of nuts and tartness. Loved it! Will definitely return here for more nights out and will try to sit at the bar next time for a different experience. Lovely place. read more

THE best food I've had in my 18+ years living in Louisville. Heard about La Chasse at work by a fellow foodie so I had to try. From the moment you walk in the door it's amazing. The dim lighting, the welcoming staff. The best service I've ever encountered. Please support local and visit this place. You'll be missing out otherwise!! They have an extensive wine/cocktail list (not a long beer list for the brewsky lovers). I had the Spanish Grimlet which the server said was her favorite!! Y'all when I talk about a cocktail trust me it's a must try.... This is a savory version of the Gimlet with Latin flavors of cilantro, cumin & hot pepper. I had two and I don't apologize for it. They had several specials for the day one of them being the Asian Cabbage Pancake. I was going more towards the escargot (be still my heart); but, thankfully my date picked this savory, scrumptious appetizer. There are no words to describe the wonderful flavors. It was "lick your plate good". I chose the La Chasse Burger with Pomme Frites for my entree and he chose the Filet Au Poivre. The filet was a Classic French masterpiece and was cooked perfectly. Now let's get to the juicy juicy......DESSERT & COFFEE. One thing about Louisville restaurants I've found that it's difficult to find a place with kick butt food, dessert AND coffee. Eureka!! We struck gold. French press coffee that was delicious paired with the Orange Marmalade Cheesecake. This wasn't a typical cheesecake. It was amazing. The crust was perfection. The filling was not too sweet because the star was the orange marmalade. If I could give this 10 stars I would. It was really that good. read more

My fiancé and I had a Valentine's Day dinner here this last year, and we had a great meal! I love the ambiance here. Low lighting makes the experience very romantic. For Valentine's Day, they had a rose sitting out at every table for the ladies which I thought was a very nice touch. For appetizers we had the mussels and baked brie. The flavor of the mussels was not to my liking but that was just me. My fiancé enjoyed them and I very much enjoyed the baked brie! For our entrees, I had the cauliflower steak and my fiancé had their duck breast special. DOn't get me wrong, I'm not a vegetarian but I do like the occasional vegetarian dish. The cauliflower steak did not lack flavor at all! For dessert, we had their beignets... so delicious!! Great experience overall!! read more

Went here to celebrate my birthday with my family. I had never been but my parents had years ago and recommended it. Everything was very yummy!!! Menu is small (so I would not recommend for picky eaters) but everything is good!! They allowed substitution for side on my entree. Only complaint is service was super slow. I believe they may have been over staffed, but there was only probably 3 parties there (weeknight). I think the waitress may have been spread slightly thin to give her the benefit of the doubt. But even the bar tender took a long time for very simple drinks like a beer or glass of wine despite him having only 3 or 4 tables to cover drinks for. read more

Everything was AMAZING. Such a hidden gem! We started with the escargot and the honey and manchego potatoes which were both so delicious. But what I want to rave about is the salmon. I never order salmon at restaurants, because I feel like that's something I can make at home, but not this one!!! It was PHENOMENAL and I was so shocked how perfect the dish complimented every ingredient. Definitely recommend. My boyfriend got the burger which was also amazing. The service was also great!!! Our server had the perfect balance of being attentive and letting us enjoy our meal. Honestly I would say La Chasse is a 10/10!!! I rarely write reviews but it was such a great dining experience that I had to. read more

Amazing meal last night at LaChasse! They had Big Al's Burgers and Shakes night, a special menu that comes out a few times a year with several different burger options, a chicken sandwich and milkshakes. Had the surf and turf burger - 8oz brisket burger with lobster tail, béarnaise frites. Table shared the cheese fries and the beignets. Had a boozy shake that was to die for. Menu below.

Last Friday night we headed over to La Chasse on Bardstown Road for dinner. Round 1 of drinks. I had something I'm going to call "Framboise 75". I can't remember the name and their drinks are not listed on their website. It did have "75" at the end of name but that is all I remember. No matter the name, it was delicious! Nick had a cocktail with mezacal (I can't remember the name of it either) we weren't big fans of that, but our server came right over and he ordered a replacement of a moscow mule. The mule was great. Appetizers consisted of salads for both of us. -Persimmon Salad - Sliced persimmons, Asian Lettuce, Pomegranate, County Ham, Whipped Ricotta & Feta w/ a citrus/champagne vinaigrette. -Roasted Brussel Sprouts Salad - Roasted Sprouts, Marcona Almonds, Chorizo, Shallots, Goat Cheese & a Chorizo Vinaigrette Both Salads were amazing. I loved the lightness of the persimmons and the paired delightfully with the ricotta & Feta. The acid in the vinaigrette brightened the dish. Nick's brussel sprout Salad was definitely our favorite. The sprouts were roasted to a crispy perfection. Entrées -Coal Grilled Ora King Salmon - Mushroom Risotto, Garlic-Lemon Beurre Blanc, Sautéed Spinach w/ Tomato Jam & Crispy Shallots -Crab Encrusted Cod - w/ Creamy Leek Sauce, Grilled Potatoes, Asparagus, & Shiitake Mushrooms The salmon was the clear winner for us. I loved the flavors of the salmon with the risotto & beurre blanc. I gonna say of the salmon dishes we've had in Louisville this one just moved into the lead for the #1 spot. I've never left anything behind at a restaurant, but for some reason tonight I left my sunglasses hanging on my chair. The host Marshall noticed and called us to let me know. He left them at the host stand and we swung back by to pick them up. Special thanks to Marshall for saving my sunglasses! Although our first, this was not our last visit here. read more

Closest thing I've had to French food since I've been to France. The herb butter with bread provided is divine. Highly recommend the French onion soup and Brussel sprouts salad (warm salad). Lastly, this may sound weird but try the burger! It's on a rosemary potato bun with a beautiful 1/2 patty, gruyere cheese, caramelized onions and bacon jam. My god it's just so good, please try it! If that's not your style the Steak au Poivre is also fantastic. read more

La Chasse is SO good. Every single aspect of the evening was amazing. Lovely ambience, fantastic service, and really good cocktails (we tried the Champagne Old Fashioned and the Pisco Sour).

To La Chasse, for its French-inspired cuisine. Another Bardstown Road standout. Interesting to dine at a restaurant owned by a bartender! It's been open for three years. A full bar tonight, but an empty restaurant. I was told several tables cancelled due to weather. The food and service warrants a full house! Start with Fried Oysters and Kale Salad. Both exceptional. Cast Iron Seared Pork Chop for my entree. The meat captures the aroma of the wood burning grill! For dessert, I try the colorful Raspberry & Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich. Refreshing! This restaurant had great pacing and presentation. The food was delish and the pricing was just right. Jessica was a first class server. read more

Enjoyed a lovely anniversary dinner here on Black Friday! Everything we had was on point and so delicious. The quiet, unassuming ambiance and attentive but not overzealous or overbearing waitstaff made this a gem of an evening. We had the Brussels sprouts salad with chorizo--DELICIOUS! Almost creamy thanks to the chorizo vinaigrette Salmon hefty portion. Mushroom risotto is one of the best sides I've ever eaten. The salmon seemed a little bit under seasoned on its own, but was perfect with the risotto. Hard choice between the chocolate mousse and red wine poached pear for our favorite (free!) anniversary dessert. The red wine poached pear won out, and was the perfect choice! read more

Nice place though it can be on the noisy side. Service is decent. Probably the reason this is barely a four and definitely not a five is the food was well executed, but my wife has a bell-pepper allergy and it seems like sooo many things had bell peppers that it really limited the menu. Don't normally think of them as a staple of French cooking but also understand that chef's will source and work from what they see as the best ingredients. Anyway; worth a try but not sure we'll hurry back. read more

Excellent food, great service, I highly recommend. It's a bit noisy when busy, but a really great ambience otherwise. We had the cod special, it was topped with crab and was prepared perfectly.

Nice French cuisine on Bardstown Rd. Popped in here for a birthday dinner...great idea! Provincial French cuisine with a local and maybe a little Asian flair (just a guess). Loved the atmosphere and the service. Seems like they run a lot of daily food specials/plates but also have a fairly solid stock menu. We enjoyed a fine dinner here w/wine and dessert which didn't break the bank. That's a win. According to their "socials" looks they run a lot of interesting cocktail specials as well...check 'em out! read more

We booked LA Chasse for a birthday dinner for 6. It is almost a secret. It looks closed from the outside but once you open the door, it's a nice restaurant inside. Subtle decor. The menu is pretty limited. I think there was 6 dinner choices, 3 salads and 5 or 6 appetizers. We ordered the Brie app and a cheese board. The charcuterie and cheese was a great value. The baked Brie was just ok. No sweetness as promise. Berries, jam or a sweet nut may have made it more of a statement. The salmon was cooked perfectly, someone said it was the best burger ever and the salads were solid. I had a burrata salad but the Argus was very sour. The peas were delicious. Just wanted more. We had a tough time getting drinks and our server never noticed empty glasses. We had to flag her down to order as well. I think it's definitely worth trying but service will prevent me from rushing back. I had been there once before and the specials are always a safe bet on satisfaction. The crème brûlée was technically perfect. Just a strange choice if targeting the masses. Something creamy and rich would have been more appealing. read more

Occasion: Girl's night Had a lovely dinner here with three friends - protocol for these dinners is that everyone orders different appetizers/entree, we get extra plates, and we pass them around to try everything. I love this because it turns a restaurant like this into instant tapas! Started off with a dirty martini - well made and I love the big olives. We tried the sweetbread and haloumi cheese as appetizers. For entrees, we had the scallops, roasted lamb special, tenderloin, and the short ribs. No desserts for this crowd but I'm convinced I can convert them in a couple more dinners at most. Standouts on the table were the scallops, tenderloin, and the Brussels sprouts that were served with the short ribs. I'm a sucker for a perfectly cooked scallop accompanied by almost any flavor. I'm also a sucker for a well-seasoned, perfectly cooked piece of meat. I'm not a sucker for anything brussels sprout, so that probably means you should try them since I liked them THAT much. Everything else was delicious as expected. Service was as expected at a place of this caliber. Would I recommend/return: Yes to both, and I'm trying dessert! read more
