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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

This was a cool restaurant downtown in Louisville. We sat in the swizzle room where the floor circulated so you could see all the views outside. Very cool and unique set up. The food was pretty good. It's a little higher priced so it's good for special occasions and such.

JUST YUMMIEEE!

My husband's & I were lucky to happen upon the 1st day of SWIZZLE's "Pours on the Top Floor" (pic) Thoughtful flavor paring of cocktail & appetizer! WHEN you go, be sure to say a big hello to the the most amazing guys: one&only Swizzle Sam and the top-shelf Mix-Master TRAVON! It was a treat to have an honest, good time with that friendly relaxed group. Tasty, fun, and atmosphere! What more could a person want?

Menu is misleading.

We were in town for the Barbie convention with a large party and were seated in the upstairs room, which had a nice view. However, it was insanely hot up there, which could've easily been remediated by the installation of a couple of small fans for example or improving the air conditioning. Things started off reasonably well - - the crabcakes appetizer was delicious - - however, my wife made the "mistake" of ordering her main course 15 minutes after the rest of the table since she was still having drinks and finishing her appetizer. Now one would expect in a restaurant with many dishes that are priced at over $100 that the kitchen manager would be able to prioritize her order so she could eat at the same time instead of having the food arrive over 30 minutes later. Then, instead of being apologetic, the waitress decided to debate with us the exact time of the order, and when we asked for the manager, he proceeded to do the same and make other excuses for why he wasn't doing his job. Also, the menu clearly stated for her $76 fillet XXV at the meal came with "sautéed mushrooms, asparagus,..." which for students of the English language or at least those that have a rudimentary understanding of it indicates that you're receiving two separate items and instead what came out was some sort of jumble of asparagus stalks. Everyone else at the table either got a nice serving of mushrooms or asparagus. At which point the manager wanted to debate that as well and ultimately we left unsatisfied overheated, and in general frustrated with what should've been a very high class luxury experience.

Sam the bartender was fabulous and gave wonderful recommendations! I started with 6 east coast oysters. Followed with the gnocchi appetizer, both were delicious. For my main course I had the scallops with wild mushrooms, again delicious. I finished with a chocolate cake and ice cream. The biggest piece of cake I've ever seen. The restaurant itself if beautiful, and down to earth.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Swizzle! The views from the rotating dining room were fun and unique. We had the Carnivore Platter and Crispy Broccolini. The steaks were tender and seasoned very well!

We had dinner reservations for 6:30 PM on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was packed which is always a good sign. We started our dinner with two appetizers: crab cakes and skewered meatballs. Our group enjoyed both. We were also served bread with a side of butter. Their bread was incredibly soft and delicious! There were 5 of us in our group. I had the salmon on herbed popcorn rice. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the rice was wonderfully flavored. Truly paired well. One of my colleagues asked for the filet mignon cooked medium rare. Unfortunately, it was medium well when it was served. She proceeded to eat it but we informed our wait person about the order. The Manager also came to our table and we mentioned what happened. He removed the filet mignon from the ticket and gave us complimentary desserts. He also offered to make it right by serving another piece of filet cooked the way she wanted it but she chose to forego the offer since it would have meant a longer wait. At any rate, they did the right thing which pleased our group. The restaurant rotates 360 degrees in an hour which is really cool. Everyone gets to see the wonderful view it has to offer. I truly enjoyed my experience at Swizzle. The food, the service and the company were top notch.

LOVE LOVE LOVE SWIZZLE! As soon as you walk in you feel welcome doesn't matter if you're dining or just coming for the amazing happy hour! I highly recommend making a dinner reservation just to enjoy the rotating dining room floor to ceiling glass view. I have been to Swizzle several times and am excited to come back soon to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday! The service both dining in and at the bar are amazing. Drinks are prepared to perfection you won't be disappointed. Appetizers are well portioned and always tasty. The BURGER ahhhh as much as I'm looking forward to dinner that trifecta burger is incredible!!!! I'm actually staying at the hotel so I just might have to sneak over for a burger the day before our dinner party. Scallops were amazing, my friend ordered them twice! I'm wanting to try everything on the menu, next time I'm thinking lobster and the carnivore platter, if anyone wants to share or not haha! Both the mushrooms and green beans are fantastic I'll need to try those duck fat fried potatoes next! Yum! I promise next trip to Louisville I'll take more photos! It's such a beautiful bar and restaurant with the most amazing staff. Thank you!

It was a full house but everything was really good as far as drinks and food. Staff was nice considerate and updating you when it comes to something taking too long, getting another beverage. The whole 9 yards. We got the Neapolitan flat bread and it was great! Also the popcorn of the night was lime chili and it'll knock your socks off! So tasty. Drinks were French 75, house margarita, a smoked and sour, and another drink my friend got I can't recall the name of. The ambiance is so cute down to the light when you enter with the name. The vibes is warm low light. Parking is street only and limited. You may have to park a block up and walk.

I have to say that although overall I had a decent time here, the first 15 minutes of my visit here…read moreleft a lasting negative impression on me. I walked in around 5:15pm on a monday night, with plans for a friend to join me around 5:30. The sign at the host station said to wait to be seated. So I waited. And waited. and waited... Folks walked in after me, waited for a bit and then sat themselves at the bar. But I did not want to sit at the bar, we wanted to sit at a table. The server seemed to be willfully ignoring me and avoiding my attempts at eye contact. The bartender was taking care of everyone at the bar as well as making drinks for the rest of the patrons too, he saw me eventually and was looking around for the server or (nonexistent?) host to help me out. The bartender ultimately told me that I could just seat myself wherever I wanted, so I did. There were maybe 3 table seated at this point, it was not that busy. Then it took yet another chunk of time (6 pages read in my book I never leave home without) before I got water and menus. I was frustrated but was looking forward to seeing my friend and was ready to make the most of it. All that said, I like the vibe of the space. The dark, cozy vibes. We came because we wanted cocktails and something to nosh on. And eventually we got that. We shared a flatebread and an Asian-inspired hushpuppy sort of situation. They were pretty tasty and nice to have with our cocktails. The cocktail list is longer than expected and with a lot of intriguing sounding offerings. The two I had were very tasty and delicious! I would maybe come back again and sit at the bar so a solo visit if I had a stretch of time and no rush. My overall memory of the visit is still about the over-long wait/being ignored for such a long time after entering.

I was able to score a visit recently on Derby Week, and that will be one of the highlights of Derby Week this year for me. We arrived shortly before our reservation time after hearing that our table was ready. I was seated at the bar, to be joined by my good friend a few minutes later. The cocktail menu sounded intriguing, and I started with an Oopsie Daisy and she sprung for Fighting Words. As we sipped our drinks, we perused the menu and decided on an array of mezze as our meal that night. Crispy cauliflower arrived first, followed shortly by tuna tartare, then whipped labneh and spring pea hummus. They even provided a gluten free pita option for the gluten sensitive in our party. Out of our choices, the cauliflower and the spring pea hummus were my favorites, although everything was very good. Throughout our meal, the staff was attentive and kept our waters full, cleared plates as appropriate, and made sure we didn't need anything else during our visit. Worth every one of its 5 stars, I think you'll enjoy Meesh Meesh just as much when you go, too!
