    Quality spot, always enjoy my visits here. The menu is always brief, but it seems to be a product of focusing on quality over quantity. There's always enough variety to suit any appetite. Cocktails are creative and well-made. Excellent service both throughout the restaurant and at the bar. Good balance of a feeling a little higher end but still relaxed (highly recommend the porch on a pleasant evening)...I've been in a suit and in shorts and a polo and felt perfectly welcome either way.

    What a great spot! Louisville friends brought us here as it's one of their very favorite and we enjoyed it immensely. We walked in to the sounds of a live pianist who was very talented, very pleasant atmosphere. The service was wonderful (thank you, Ken!), the food was even better. I had their burger, excepting the hot pickle because I'm a spice-wimp. The meat was a bit south of medium rare but I'm ok with rare at a good restaurant. Nice char. The Dijon based sauce was outstanding and really took this up a notch. Their french fries are shoestring type and perfectly delicious. RRR got one of the specials, the filet mignon, medium rare and it came out rare. Very rare. Neither of us send meals back to the kitchen unless it's inedible and he was able to eat it, just found some of it tough. His green beans were also a bit too al dente. The mashed potatoes were really good. We had no space for dessert but they looked amazing. So sad we couldn't partake. This will be our first go-to spot when we visit again!

    I was always intrigued by the Pine Room when I drove by. So I was pleased to find out that it had the simple elegance, excellent service, and delicious menu that I would've expected when I visited recently. We went early on a Friday evening and had a reservation. I would highly recommend a reservation, and even going early is helpful, as this place is popular and got hopping pretty quickly. We were led to our booth and seated, before promptly being greeted by our server. We started with drinks - Harrods Creek Fizz for me - and ordered a round of mussels and fries to start with. The fizz was very tart to begin with and got a little less sharp by the end of the drink. I might try something else next time. As far as food, the mussels were really delicious in a coconut milk broth, and the shoestring French fries were perfect when dunked in some mayo (which we requested on the side). For our entrees, we all chose the salmon (which is gluten-free to boot!). We all agreed that the temperature, texture, and flavor were excellent. The couscous was a good addition but had some spice to it that I actually could have done without (mostly because I was sharing with our high chair guest and the spice didn't suit them). The place became a hive of activity as our meal progressed. People gathered at the bar and a pianist started up some tunes, which heightened the festive atmosphere. I am so glad that we got to visit the Pine Room and enjoy our dinner there. If it's on your list of places to try, I recommend that you give it a go soon!

    The Pine Room is a bit outside of our typical radius for go-to dining options, but if that's the case for you as well, don't let the location deter you. We visited for dinner, and I opted for the special, a filet served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We also enjoyed the decadent chocolate bourbon cake, because let's face it, combining chocolate and bourbon is a match made in dessert heaven! Everything was pretty good. Beyond the food, the ambiance is great for a date or intimate dinner. The soft lighting, along with the live piano music, creates a cozy atmosphere. It's an ideal spot for a relaxed evening with friends or a special occasion.

    I've never been to this part of the city. The restaurant is tucked away among the trees. It's so charming and clean inside. I was only a party of 1 and was seated immediately. Server was great. I didn't order an appetizer so the food pace was off a bit, between getting my drink and entree but I understand. I ordered a mocktail Harrod's Creek Fizz Super yummy and not too sweet Entree - Salmon with pesto couscous This was sooo good Salmon was medium in temp which was perfect - moist and rich. Flavor was amazing. The pesto couscous was delicious. Panna cotta dessert - this was excellent too! Raspberry sorbet was refreshing. Whipped cream went well with the panna cotta. I'm used to panna cotta being a bit looser but the flavor was so good that it's okay! Highly recommend I originally wanted the cherry pie but it is a 15 min wait. I'll have to come back and order it ahead of time.

    Literally the best restaurant in Louisville. Best strongest drinks also. Ignore any review that is not 5 stars

    Steak frites

    This is such a cute place on river road. I'll be come back for the decor and ambiance alone. All the appetizers my table got were amazing and I wish I remembered to take pictures. The brussel sprouts and pretzel bread with bourbon queso were so good but the real star was the cauliflower. Definitely will be going back to do an appetizer night here. I thought the appetizers were the best part of the meal. For my entree I got the bolognese. It was pretty good but I've gotten the fried chicken before and liked that better. I also tried the pork chop which was good and the flank steak which was a little chewy. I know flank steak is usually a bit tougher but this was a little too tough.

    Pork chops

    I don't typically order pork chops at a restaurant but this was truly delicious and would definitely get it again. The ambiance was nice and cozy. And the service was very nice too! I would come back here again

I sampled my husband's meal as well. He got the sweet potato waffles. We were thinking that the sweet potato would be infused in the waffle, but we were surprised to find the sweet potato toppings on top of the waffle. It was so scrumptious. We can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu.

Lots of space, cool design...was there on a day when the courtyard type area had a tent set up for World Cup viewing, had an energetic crowd, and the rooftop bar had a more chill vibe, for lack of a better term...both fantastic in their own ways.

Great selection of cocktails (love getting to try some brandy options, I enjoy something different), bartenders are welcoming and helpful.

I will say that the cocktail I had was the best of the day and definitely a good way to start my day. The cocktail I had was the Grape in Rio and it was made with the Copper & Kings Brandy and had coconut creme, pineapple juice, lime juice and a brandied cherry. It was also a very pretty cocktail. We went out on the patio to take a look around, it was breezy out there but I could see where it would be nice to sit out there and have a cocktail. We will stop in again as it looks like they offer some nice amenities on their patios in the warmer weather.

They specialize in custom, house made desserts. Evidently, the neighborhood hosts a "progressive" dinner and the last stop, dessert, of course, is at Retta's. Desserts are featured after 4pm, so we didn't get to sample. But, we did watch the owner, Ben, handcraft the evenings' dessert.
