My shrimp was not good and my husband's catfish wasn't soaked and was muddy tasting. Then I dipped a fry into my cocktail sauce and there was something that strung from it. It looked like a hair to me but I was assured it was a piece of plastic. The waiter went and got the manager and she said it was a piece of plastic from a french fry bag and thanked me for bringing it to their attention and walked off and didn't even offer to take any off the bill. Mind you, we had only eaten 1/2 the food. $42.37 and still hungry. Never again. Do not go here!

He ordered a ribeye and said it was great. I was looking forward to the sides and ordered a small filet mingon. It was delicious! I don't think I have ever finished a serving of steak before this one. It was cooked to perfection, which is rare since I don't like the texture of the meat when it's still pink. The flavor was amazing and I really wished I had ordered the largest one they had. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Bowling Green.

I know it's Tuesday and I know better than to order the fish special... it was terrible. But the disappointment was the service. The girl brought out our app then our entrees then dropped the cheesecake with never clearing off our table. That was the disappointment. The redfish and grits were horrible but my bad for ordering the fish special on a Tuesday. But she wanted us out 57 minutes from the time we came in and got into our car.

We had been avoiding it like the plague since then, because why would I want to give my money to some jerk off who thinks we're "inbreds" (his words, you can look it up). All that said, we were talking to some friends the other day and they said we should try it again because the seafood selection was fantastic, soooooo we decided to hit it up for our anniversary. We got the oysters, and they were some small guys but out waiter Eli (ask for him) said that they were easy coast even though they typically get west coast. It was nice to have a knowledgeable wait staff that was super friendly and happy to talk through anything with us that we had questions on. We got the steak and sea bass and both were great! Creamed spinach and baked potato as sides were a good call as well. We took some friends with us and one of them got the shrimp and grits, and those grits were LEGIT. Soooooo, if you're looking for a fine dining experience in Bowling Green you could really either do Tony's or Hickory & Oak. In my opinion, Hickory & Oak gets my vote because Josh is one of us and I doubt I'll ever read any articles about him ripping off his employees or calling Kentuckians names, but this experience was so good at Tony's that I might swallow my pride here and there and stop in every once in a while for a delicious steak or some really great bourbon and wine.

We tried this hotel steak and seafood restaurant for the first time and left with mixed feelings…read more The online reservation system had no option to select seating when I booked, nor did anyone mention seating when they called to confirm our reservation, so we requested a booth from the hostess when we arrived. We were told they were fully booked, yet those exact booths sat empty during our entire meal. Fortunately, our waiter was phenomenal--incredibly upbeat, knew the menu well, and provided reasonably quick service despite the high volume of business the evening we visited. While the ambiance strives to match the restaurant's self-representation of being a fine dining steak and seafood establishment, the food fell a bit flat. I ordered the Filet Mignon and my husband ordered the New York strip; both were only a few tallies above what you could get at any decent, everyday restaurant. We also both ordered a lobster tail, which turned out to be a bit tough. I will say they do have the largest shrimp, which we really enjoyed, and their cocktail sauce was quite tasty. Ultimately, management needs to remember that they are still just a hotel restaurant. To truly captivate customers and justify their fine-dining labels and pricing, they need to refine their seating communication, make everyone who walks in feel seen and appreciated, and inject real culinary ambition into the kitchen, taste, and presentation. While we still enjoyed our evening, I personally do not see us returning. With that being said, they seem to still be thriving, which is great. It's just not for us.

We have eaten here several times and it is usually our stop on the way to Nashville…read more Our first clue should have been a near empty parking lot at lunch time. We were greeted by the hostess and told we could sit whenever we wanted and we chose the bar. The bartender got us a couple waters while we looked at the menu. After several minutes she came back and we asked for chips and salsa. Several more minutes passed before she came back and we placed our order for food. Not a complicated lunch. I ordered Chicken Tinga Tacos and my wife ordered the Chicken Chile Relleno. We waited about 20 minutes, food hadn't arrived, we had eaten all the Chips and Salsa and the bartender was ignoring us. We could see the kitchen and it didn't look like the cooks were even working. Not sure how you could not take care of probably a total of 10 people during lunch. We told the bartender and manager we were leaving because we hadn't gotten our food and to cancel our order. What has happened to this place? Has it changed ownership? What we saw yesterday was a poorly run restaurant and it's kind of sad after having some many good meals here.

The salads are one of the best parts and the lobster ravioli are sublime, but pricey.

We were in Bowling Green to visit Beech Bend and we wanted some Italian food. We saw Cafe Italia…read morewas highly rated on both Google and Yelp, so we decided to come here. I started with a soup, while my brother started with a salad. They were served with these garlic rolls, which were absolutely delicious to eat both alone and with the soup. Then came time for the entrees. I got the Sausage and Pepper Parmigiana, while my brother got the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. My Sausage and Pepper Parmigiana had a delicious mix of flavor and spice which I enjoyed every bite of, while my brother enjoyed his Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. Additionally, we had thought from looking online that this would be one of our pricier meals out, but Cafe Italia actually ended up being a great value, as our meals included a soup or salad and rolls, and the portions were so generous, I needed to pack some of my entree away to eat in the morning. In short, we wholeheartly recommend Cafe Italia, both because the food is excellent but also because the portions are so large they are an excellent value. We are glad we chose to go here and would definitely come back here if in the area again.

This Classy Venue, Sets A New Tone.. Pleasantly Kicked Out of Our Comfort Zone:…read more What a Gorgeous Night to be out & about, with Beau, on the night before the Full Moon, during Derby Week, in Bowling Green. We'd never been here before, thus, we were new to this scene! Even stepping in seemed an experience, following behind two ladies, donned in Derby Hats, & their two dapper gentlemen, who smiled, held open the door, & graciously waved us in!! Then, at a long table we happily joined, our extended, car fanatic family. Thus, the festivities began, as our evening flowed pleasantly.. What We Found : Service: Friendly & Attentive.. Our iced tea was refilled & our tables kept clean. And our server, steered us in the right direction, in recommending the Surf & Turf dinner, which was Delightful.. Ambiance: Lofty & Modern Aesthetic, with Rustic Elements. (But still too modern, for our liking). Nearby, seemed a nicer table: with a wooden tent like canopy, situated near a great hearth.. Food: Generous portions of entrees & sides. The hearty sides, are served family style. We ordered: Bacon Cornbread; Mac & Cheese; Roasted Brussel Sprouts; Roasted Mushrooms; & Truffle Fries. These Tasted Divine... Especially the bacon cornbread, served with a dollop of brown butter, which disappeared in no time!! Whilst our Surf & Turf Dinner, of: Shrimp & Beef, served on skewers, atop a bed of Fried Rice, Kicked Us Out of Our Comfort Zone. This was quite unlike the country cuisine of Bowling Green, for so long known!! And, the horseradish sauce, served alongside, seemed rich & robust!! Indeed, the menu seemed to convey the chef's creative touch!! However, our friend beside us, bemoaned that his elk steak dinner, was mostly burnt!! To the staff, not saying a word!! Moreover, Beau found his Strawberry Shortcake, a tad too dry. But from Beau's pretty dessert, to the Almond Cake, ordered at the table--all seemed a pastry feast for the eyes!! Overall: We Found This Classy Venue, A Welcome Change From The Familiar..Hearty Southern Fare, Fine Tuned With A Touch Of The Exotic!! So Happy To Say: We Loved It !!

We chose this restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday, expecting a nice dinner, and…read moreunfortunately the experience was incredibly disappointing. I wanted to order one of the bar stool specials and was told that I absolutely could not order it while sitting in the dining room. I understand restaurants have policies, but refusing to serve an item that you are actively serving elsewhere in the same restaurant simply because I was sitting in the dining room felt unnecessarily rigid--especially when we were there celebrating a special occasion. Rather than order something I didn't want, I ended up having mac and cheese as my entire meal. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience did nothing to make up for it. Our water was never cold, the carrots and potato salad were both disappointing, and the food took far too long to arrive. For a restaurant that presents itself as a nicer dining experience, I expected much better food, service, and hospitality. Instead, my wife's birthday dinner was memorable for all the wrong reasons. I left frustrated, disappointed, and feeling like we spent our money at the wrong place. We won't be returning.

Probably the best catfish I've ever had. The location is not easily found. Back in the old days,…read morethis place would have been one of those places that you could only find by word of mouth. I ate here once back in around 2009. I wanted to return and try it again. I looked beforehand and noticed that they do not allow cards as a form of payment. It's cash only, or you could write a check with a form of ID (so the sign says). You walk in and are told you can sit anywhere you like. A waitress comes and takes your order at the table. They offer all you can eat catfish and coleslaw. I opted for that one "Adult fish plate" for $12.50. The waitress said I could go get coleslaw at a cold bar. The coleslaw was a little sweet for my taste. The food came out and the catfish was plentiful and good. I only could eat one plate. Worthy of note: there is a sign that says "No smoking" but that may have been a suggestion - or smoking was tolerated. Because the table next to me, there was an old grandma with a lit cig smoking. I believe in Kentucky they do have a law that smoking is not allowed in businesses but like I said, this place is isolated and in a hollow, so I doubt any fuss is made about it. Just an observation I had. You pay at the register when you leave.
