    Looking for a place to view the beautiful Louisville landscape, well Swizzle is your place. We walked to the restaurant on a whim after going to an event downtown. The host greeted us with a friendly smile. Our waiter was knowledgeable and gave us some great tips to order the perfect burger. The food was delicious! I think Swizzle has one of the best burgers. Good food, great drinks, and an even better view. My kind of place!

    Stopped in for a late night snack and drink and it was great. This fancy spot is located on the 25th floor of the iconic Galt House Hotel. Sat at the bar and ordered: Spice Isle Swizzle - $15 - a massive cocktail and their take on a tiki drink. It was sweet, delicious, awesome. I love passion fruit so this was just up my alley. Very similar to a mai tain in flavor profile. Highly recommend. Bone marrow appetizer -$19 Two loaded bones with a great gorgonzola cheese and bacon jam spread on top and served with chips. I love blu cheese and the gorgonzola spread and jam was amazing. The marrow itself tasted like liquid pork belly, delicious. The chips for scooping I thought it was gimmicky at first, but they really went perfectly with the spread and marrow. I've only had this dish once at Blue Ribbon sushi and this blew it away. Highly recommend trying it

    Came here because I was staying at the Galt hotel. Super convenient since I was in the hotel already. Overall, it was a nice view of the Ohio river and nice ambience. The waiter was kind of... interesting. He didn't really know what the best dish was or what the dish entailed. The bread and butter were SO GOOD. Softest fluffiest bread with everything bagel seasoning. Not too much, not too little. Seafood platter - oysters were delish and I liked the tartar. Not a fan of the cooked scallop dish... Arugula salad - yum! Can't go wrong Carnivore platter - filet mignon, NY strip, and ribeye. Rib eye was the best. Not pictured is the salmon entree. Good, classic salmon. Spaghetti squash was delicious too. Broccolini perfectly crispy. Overall, would come back. Pricey. Made a reservation 15 min before and got seated at the rotating dining area and they stopped the rotation around sunset so we got to enjoy every second :) PS: lots of spiders on the outside of the window dining as well

    I've had the pleasure of dining here twice: one just for drinks with some co-workers years ago after-hours of a conference, and most recently, for a private dinner at another conference. The atmosphere is definitely swanky. The rotating room is so fun (I believe there are two rooms)! No worries about getting sick or dizzy -- you barely even notice the room is moving. But keep in mind -- the rotating room is just a portion of the restaurant seating: not the entire restaurant or the bar. Our dinner last weekend was in the full private room behind the bar (non-rotating room). We all fit comfortably in the room and enjoyed the privacy of the space. It would've been nice if that room had some windows, though, so we could have a view. It kind of took away from the atmosphere of the place. I had no idea we were 25 floors up. Still, a nice space for the group we had. Our group shared four appetizers off the menu: swizzle meatballs, fried calamari, crab cake, and potato gnocchi. They were all deliciously mouth-watering. YUM. As for the actual dinner itself: I ordered a Caesar salad and the Filet XXV (8oz Center Cut Filet topped with Wild Mushrooms and Asparagus Tips, alongside a Loaded Mashed Potato Cake). The salad was perfect, and the Filet XXV was SCRUMPTIOUS. I could eat it for dinner every night. I loved the mushrooms & asparagus on top. I personally don't like mashed potatoes and was a bit hesitant about the Loaded Mashed Potato Cake until the other people with me convinced me it was good. They were right! LOVED the Mashed Potato Cake! It's sort of like a shaped mashed potato covered in a bread or fried or something. Finally, dessert. Of the six different desserts on the menu, we had five of them on the table within our group. I was the only one that ordered the Mixed Berries with Crème Fraîche. That particular dessert was a bit disappointing. I regret not getting the Banana Bread instead. While everyone else was feasting on cakey desserts, it looked like I just had a large bowl of fruit in whipped cream. It was, in fact, a delicious lemon creme, but still. Underwhelmed. All the other desserts looked good -- the chocolate cake is massive! (For those of you wondering, I don't like chocolate, so those types of desserts are not an option for me.) I don't think anyone managed to actually finish their dessert. Drinks were good. I just optioned for a wine. One member of our party ordered a Smoke Box Old Fashioned, which was delivered to the table in a smoking box. I had never seen that before and that was fun to watch! (I am not originally from Kentucky and therefore, not really knowledgeable in Bourbon.) Overall, an excellent dining experience with delicious food, a charming atmosphere, and exceptional service. Swanky? Yep. Expensive? Yes... Will I try to come back if I can? Definitely!

    Sadly, I was not impressed. I ordered a Smoked Old Fashioned which was absolutely delicious; however, the server opened the door of the presentation box so that the smoke went directly into my face. The server was an experienced server so he knew which way the smoke would flow and I did not appreciate that at all. I ordered the New Year's Eve experience and I was extremely let down. It was a five course meal where you were able to choose your selected options for the soup/salad course, the main course and the dessert course. I failed in choosing my selections at two of the three levels. The Caesar salad was amazing and I would order again. The shrimp risotto was not the highlight. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned; however, the risotto was crunchy in areas. Risotto is never supposed to be crunchy. For the main course, I ordered the fillet served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The server advised me I was only allowed to have the filet cooked medium when I am used to medium rare. I should've chosen the chicken or the halibut but I went with the steak, the mashed potatoes and the asparagus. The asparagus were fine however, the steak was easily medium well to well done and it was bland. It was horrible! I ate all the asparagus half of the mashed potatoes and maybe a fourth of the steak. When the server asked if I wanted to wrap it up to go, I said absolutely not. I was so disappointed. But the major disappointment was dessert. I ordered the strawberry tiramisu and I don't know what the heck they thought they were doing. Traditionally in a tiramisu the lady fingers (dry Itailian cookies) are soaked overnight in coffee or a coffee liquor, then they are layered with spices and mascarpone cream. They had the audacity to put dry, lady fingers on the bottom with some kind of strawberry compote and then whipped cream and chocolate drizzled on top. The ladyfingers were so hard, I had to use my knife to cut them after the first bite I was done. On top of that, the server gratuitied me 20% when I did not see him very often and he never checked on me once to see how my food was until the end when he asked if I wanted it to be boxed up. I feel the server knew he was going to gratuity me so he didn't care about providing good service because he was looking at his 20% no matter what. This was a lesson learned and I will never go back. In Louisville, KY we have a lot of high-end restaurants to choose from with restaurants that I have had much better dining experiences. The lucky thing is I can go somewhere else.

    If you're into sunsets, this is the perfect spot to catch it. Part of the restaurant rotates and it's really nice! Very cute restaurant. Staff were fairly nice. Cocktail was delicious! Stop in here to catch the vibes.

    We came to Louisville from Ohio to celebrate my 30th birthday! We love to visit high end restaurants a couple times a year and this time Swizzle was our stop! The idea of a rotating steakhouse drew us in! This was actually our second rotating restaurant we have visited. Swizzle appears to have two rotating dining rooms. These are smaller areas that hold roughly 40-50 people each. It's almost completely closed in with a small opening leading the the bar/entry area. This appears to cause conversations to appear louder than they are. Many times it was so loud from the other diners, it was hard to hear each other. This really took away from a romantic atmosphere we were seeking. The rotating experience was super cool. It seemed to take an hour to make one full lap. The food was delicious. We tried the filet and salmon. We also had the wedge and caesar salad. The rolls were absolutely delicious. They go above and beyond to help celebrate your birthday. A special menu, candles on your dessert. Friendly staff.

    Swizzle was awesome place for dinner a top of the 25th floor of the building the view of Louisville is spectacular they have plenty of windows the restaurant is casual and dressy as well. They have a full bar with plenty of seating they make really good drinks too! The service was excellent they were great from the time we walked in and when we where ready to leave there is no rush well you are at your table or booth the floor is turning that's right the restaurant rotating well eating you're dinner you get a 360 view of Louisville. We got the steak plate for 3 and it was great the food was fantastic. The crowd was excellent as well everyone was having fun.

    Pasta , add chicken

    Absolutely amazing dinner with my mom after one of the Broadway series shows at the Kentucky center for the performing arts. Swizzle is located on the top floor of the galt house. It is a slow spinning restaurant that gives amazing views of downtown Louisville and the river! Food was fantastic , service was fantastic! Highly recommend for a swanky date night , or elevated drinks with friends!

    Came into Louisville for work and somehow lucked into a business dinner reservation at Swizzle, aka the best view in the city, hands down! This place sits at the top of the Galt House and revolves, giving you a slow 360° panoramic tour of downtown, the Ohio River, bridges, barges, you name it. Pro tip: make sure you get a table by the window and at sunset. Totally worth it! Since we were in Kentucky, we started things off the right way...with a bourbon flight. We also went all in on the smoke box old fashioneds made with Four Roses. I'm not a normal Bourbon drinker so it was fun to experience. Started with wedge salads, classic, cold, and loaded with blue cheese and bacon. For mains, most of us went with the 8oz filet. One of my coworkers got the pork tomahawk chop, which I had to sample, and It was incredible! My filet came with a whole squeezable clove of roasted garlic which was a nice touch. For sides, we shared grilled asparagus and sautéed spinach, both solid, well-seasoned, and didn't feel like an afterthought. Desserts...We went big, of course!!! The bananas foster cheesecake was my favorite. We also tried the blackout cake, rich, chocolatey, and kind of a one-bite-and-I'm-done situation. Service was top-notch, timing was smooth, and they didn't rush us even as the room slowly spun into nighttime city views. Definitely not a cheap meal, but if you're in Louisville and want to impress clients or just yourself...this is the spot.

    Stings Like a Bee, with a bourbon cherry and toasted ginger.  Yum!
    George W.

    We dropped in because my wife thought they had a rotating bar - nope, it's a rotating restaurant section. We stayed for drinks anyway. I had their Stings Like A Bee (an Ali quote) and my wife had a Smoked Bourbon. The smoked drink comes in a box full of smoke, to infuse the drink. It was very good. The Stings like a Bee tasted great as well. Next time, we'll make a dinner reservation. They had an excellent section of wine, solid service, and nice views of the north side of Louisville. Lots of good stuff here in the Galt Hotel on the 25th Floor!

    Raw platter.
    Amanda C. F.

    The food is extremely overpriced. We had the raw cocktail platter and it was sad. 6 oysters, 4 shrimp, chopped up tuna with mayo on it, pickled crab meat, some kind of salmon. It was bizarre. We had to ask for Lemons,, mini spoons, oyster forks. The seabass is good but the risotto was hard and crunchy. The burger was good. The Brussels need to be on a flat plate because you fry them and they are crispy and then you squash them into a metal cup to they steam and get soggy. Amazing view, just very overpriced hotel restaurant for the experience.

The signature cocktails we ordered were very good (not pictured)! My only disappointment was the limited menu. The menu seemed to be mostly appetizers and pizza with some additional options for entrees. We ordered the Holy Fire Dip for a starter and it was delicious! It was warm and had great flavor. The waitress did need to bring more bread, the dipping options felt sparse. My husband and I split The Burnt Offering Pizza and Sanctuary Sliders, they were both solid. We both favored the pizza but would have liked more variety. I can see why this place comes highly recommended for the experience. I would definitely come back but hope they expand the menu by then!
