    A Hidden Gem That Redefines Fine Dining in New Albany From the moment we stepped inside, this new restaurant in downtown New Albany felt like stepping into another world -- where romance, artistry, and culinary mastery come together. The aesthetic is nothing short of magical: imagine Art Deco elegance meeting a moody French speakeasy, with high-back, richly colored booths and light fixtures that sparkle like jewelry above a spectacular bar. It's intimate, classy, and unforgettable. We began with appetizers that set the tone for the evening -- beef tartare, duck rillettes, and escargot served with the most perfectly charred bread. Each bite was balanced, thoughtful, and delicious. Our sommelier's recommendation, a J. Lohr red blend, paired beautifully with every course. For entrées, the lobster linguini--topped with shrimp and scallops--was indulgent perfection. The creamy vodka sauce had just the right kiss of spice, coating every strand of pasta with rich, decadent flavor. But the surprise showstopper? The half chicken with rice and vegetables. It was nothing like any roast chicken we've ever had -- tender, aromatic, seasoned with a unique blend of spices that felt both homey and elevated. I wasn't even the one who ordered it, and I can't stop thinking about it! The team made the night unforgettable. Emma, our waitress, was an absolute gem -- knowledgeable, passionate, and eloquent. She spoke about each dish with genuine excitement and made us feel like honored guests. Max, the owner and sommelier, shared stories of the restaurant's family roots and culinary journey, which added a personal touch to an already exquisite evening. We don't get to New Albany often, but this experience set a whole new standard for us -- even as we prepare to move to Las Vegas, a city known for world-class dining. Things might be bigger there, but this place will always be our benchmark for perfection. Truly a flawless dining experience -- romantic, refined, and absolutely memorable in every way.

    It's the upscale restaurant of the same family that brought us Senor Iguana and a family of establishments. Food was definitely delicious and pricing was reasonable for an upscale place. Our server Shelby was excellent at her job. Chef Rosa was so sweet to come out and chat with us and tell us what a labor of love this business is to her and her family.

    I had seen and spoke to the folks at Harvest homecoming so I was curious to try them out. It was a week night evening. The restaurant was not full, but the restaurant itself was absolutely beautiful low-key very elegant , but the service was wonderful. I sat at the bar. I ordered up a Negroni to drink, wedge salad and a French onion soup. The bartender was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Definitely a place to try if you want amazing food, wonderful ambience, and attentive service.

    Great service, attentive and very accommodating…read more The food was delicious. Fresh produce and seafood. Everything was seasoned perfectly and well executed. We were in town for 4 days and ate dinner at Repeal 3 nights. This place was within walking distance to our hotel, but so were others. We had the opportunity to dine for both lunch and dinner different times during the day and the service and food was consistent. I should have taken more photos.

It's a nice hotel, and a pleasant steakhouse, but not sure it demands quite that much love. Most importantly, they don't know how to cook a steak. The flavor is spot on, you can really taste the wood fire, and the steaks are seasoned well. But the wife ordered a filet medium and it came out blood rare. My medium rare strip was presented rare, which I'm ok with, though it was noticeably still a bit more cooked than her "medium" filet. Having to return a steak to get it cooked properly, at an apparently well respected upscale steakhouse, is a disappointment, a big bump in the middle of a pleasant evening. We started with the oysters rock, which were quite good, and quite large. The french onion soup was a nice classic version. We split an heirloom tomato salad, and each still got two very large and thick slices of tomato, making the split a good sized salad for each of us. The balsamic pearls were a treat. An unexpected pleasure were the parker house rolls. Yum. Though between enjoying them, with the split salad, splitting the oysters, and the soup, we'd clearly over ordered! Repeal is a pleasant fine dining spot in the midst of the Louisville downtown action. They just need to learn how to cook steaks to temp before they rise to a truly 5 star destination.

The meat was refrigerator-cold, and the crust had a soggy, slimy texture. I requested unsweetened iced tea and received a bottle that I have nothing positive to say about. The wait staff was outstanding. The environment was excessively loud due to concert, but it quieted down once the concert started. I drove two hours specifically for the beef Wellington, so saying I was disappointed to receive swill is an understatement. I can only assume they do not closely inspect items taken from the refrigerator. Clearly, this is not a restaurant Mr. Ramsay has inspected, because I have a difficult time believing the cook who deemed this acceptable would still be employed there.

I decided to order my burger with just onions, mushrooms and asked for bearnaise on the side. Oh my gosh, if heaven had a kitchen it would be at Steak and Bourbon!!! This was hands down the absolute best burger I have had in my entire 55 years!! It was juicy, fresh, full of amazing flavor and the bun had the perfect consistency, not too hard or too soft, it never fell apart! ! The onions I could have eaten by themselves, that's how delicious they were. If you want a regular burger go anywhere else but if you want exceptional and the best burger of your entire life and the most heavenly burger on earth, eat at Steak and Bourbon! It was so amazing I could hardly speak... days later I'm still thinking about it and I'm already planning to go back!! If I could give them 10 stars I absolutely would! Thank you Steak and Bourbon this was a grand slam and we will see you again, soon!
