    I appreciate that's it's Derby Week and restaurants in Louisville are crowded but when a restaurant charges you a $100 per person non-refundable deposit just to make a reservation, then they keep you waiting like you're in a doctor's office until they can seat you - and the bar isn't serving drinks because they've also booked every seat at the bar so they can take $100 deposits for each of those seats as well - this is a restaurant I'll never come back to. This place is a joke. Part II - Finally got our table about 50 minutes after our reservation. Even though we booked a table, they seated us at the bar. The food, admittedly, was very good, but after getting our appetizers rather promptly, we were seated over an hour before our bartender - Mo - finally had to go to the kitchen to chase down our entrees. Then, after all of this, the couple next to us got their bill but hey hadn't deducted the $200 prepaid deposit. A different bartender tried to convince them that the $200 had been netted out but they weren't having it. Finally Mo came to the rescue again and got them a new bill that clearly deducted the deposit. We quickly asked him to get our bill as well since we knew he would make sure ours was corrected too. Makes me wonder how many other patrons didn't catch this mistake and ended up giving the restaurant another $100 per person. Oh, and when I went to the restroom, it was quickly obvious no one had checked on the restroom all night because the garbage can was overflowing with used paper towels all over the floor. +3 hours in all. Mo was the only employee we encountered who was both competent and understood customer service. Still sticking with my 1-star review - and that's only because a half star was not an option.

    Jumbo Lump Crab Cake
    Margaret S.

    A few days ago, I ordered the jumbo lump crab cake dinner with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Loved how the sauces were in separate containers, but I wish they were somehow labeled. The jumbo lump crab cakes were delicious with little breading. The remoulade sauce was the perfect compliment. The I thought ordering online was seamless and I loved that they set the pickup time when I ordered. I was a little surprised to find the area around the restaurant a bit run down and felt seedy, it felt very different from where I was staying just a few blocks away. Service was wonderful - they even pronounced my (difficult) last name correctly.

    First class restaurant across from The Sealbach hotel. Beautiful place dining experience. Steaks were delicious sides of asparagus And Calamari. Excellent service from the top notch bar as was our dinner. Lots of fun watching the mixologist Must visit t have the full experience.

    Starting off black history month with my favorite restaurant. The services us always 10/10. Ambiance is perfect. Drank and lemon drop which was delicious. My date had a dirty martini. Scallops were so sweet. The shrimp and grits had a little kick and were so flavorful. Definitely will be back!!

    Tuna
    John S.

    Was in Louisville, and it was a Friday during Lent, so Fish Friday. I sat at the bar on the server side, which only had two seats. I share that as I was kind of out of the way and alone which may be a cause by the slow and poor service. I had clam chowder which was okay. I then had the tuna, with potatoes and asparagus covered in bearnaise and it was fabulous. Great atmosphere and good entree made up for the poor service.

    Food was killer... service was a tad slow! I will start off with the good, the ambience and layout of the restaurant is really great. Being able to see into the kitchen and treated with all the sites and associated smells is always something I enjoy especially in a higher end restaurant like this our server was really good, but I think she had too many tables because it did take excessively long to get our drinks and several items we ordered were forgotten and arrived later than others as a result. The food itself is excellent. All of our appetizers were prepared well and all of our main dishes were equally as exquisite. Had the service portion been on par with the food quality I would've certainly rated this place five stars. I would definitely go back and as a sidenote, I would recommend the truffle fries every time.

    Seared Yellowfin Tuna
    Chad M.

    Fantastic dining experience, every time. Upscale without being pretentious. Always a strong selection of seafood (if the seared tuna is on the menu, get it; if you want something else--and there are many excellent options--get an order to share anyway!). Steaks are excellent. Quality sides. Great cocktail menu (smoked old fashioned prepared tableside is a must-try experience). Tasty desserts. Service and atmosphere are top quality. Servers are knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming. The bar area is lively, the restaurant has a great vibe, and there are good private dining areas as well. All in all, a spot well worth visiting for a special occasion, a business meeting, or just a high-quality night out.

    Very nice restaurant with a classy vibe. Comfy seating and very attentive service. Everyone enjoined their meals and pricing wasn't too out of line. Menu didn't match what their website said what was available that day but still offered very fresh choices. I split the wedge salad and enjoyed some baked oysters.

    Seared Yellowfin Tuna

    Oh my! We went for our anniversary and could not have been more pleased. The food was excellent and the service top tier. They even walk around with a drink bar for smoking drinks, if your into that. I would go back again, I loved it.

    Twin fried lobster tails with Grilled Asparagus and mashed potatoes

    The customer service was great, and the ambiance was well suited for a quiet meal alone or with a date. I come here every time I'm in downtown Louisville KY and they never disappoint.

    Shrimp Pesto Linguini
    Lora C.

    No, just no. Ridiculous pricing for what you get and the service was so poor. Ordered Shrimp Pesto Basil Linguini ($32.75) which arrived with only 5 small pieces of shrimp, unseasoned and without the cheese finish as described on the menu. Our server never came back to the table to see how the food was, so we asked the food runner for some condiments we needed and she acted like this was a problem. Finally walked up to the bar to order a drink since our server was absent. Got a glass of 6 oz of Doau wine that I was charged $25 for. Check with any other local restaurant and you'll see this is excessive. Will never go back or recommend Brenden's Catch to anyone. Nobody in our group of 4 will be back. P.S. it wasn't even very busy there that night.

    Sea bass with sweet potato hash
    Nicole W.

    We had a great night out here before seeing a musical at the Kentucky Center! Sonya was a great waitress, attentive and very knowledgable! We had the crab cake for a starter which was fabulous. Our main courses were the sea bass and the scallops, both were perfectly seasoned and cooked! I highly recommend for a classy night out in Louisville!

    Butter cake

    OMG!! We just had dinner tonight and our dinner was amazing! Even better was our serve person, Sonya. . . She anticipated what we wanted and made fantastic recommendations!! We would never have found it if it had not been for Allen at Louisville Bourbon Inn! He strongly recommended it and joined us for dinner! Didn't think I had room for dessert, but there is always room for Butter Cake

    Great great experience here. We had a 4 top at the low bar on a Friday. Had to wait about 15…read moreminutes. They don't take reservations. 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 appreciated the amount of space, and there were even a few tables outside. Bar seating, table seating, couch seating... I think I peeped a small room in the back too... all the options!

I enjoyed just hanging out, people watching, and chatting with the friendly bartenders. They have cocktails and mocktails in abundance... there's literally something for everyone.

I was very satisfied with that one and would probably come back again next time we're in town!
