    Pot de crème

    This restaurant never disappoints! My husband had the caprese pasta with an addition of sun-dried tomatoes per the server's recommendation and it took the dish to the next level! My mahi was cooked to perfection. And the dessert is my hubby's favorite and always ordered.

    Went to mesh tonight and it was great. I really think their fried green tomato app is one of the best appetizers in Louisville, it's just that good.

    I recently took my dad to Mesh to grab brunch on his birthday. No one there ultimately acknowledged his birthday, but to be fair, I didn't go out of my way to remind them about it once we arrived. I was a little bummed at the options on the menu: I had previously found a Mesh brunch menu online which featured a number of exciting dishes listed... but it turns out that those are only offered on the weekend. So their weekday brunch options were a bit limited by comparison and the seafood benedict I was looking forward to wasn't available. We grabbed the fried green tomatos as an appetizer. They arrived buried beneath a Mount Everest of greens. On one hand, that made for a novel presentation. On the other hand, it felt like a strategic compensation for the fact that the tomatos themselves were very small. There were five of them, at least - so this somewhat compensated. We agreed that they were decent, but that doesn't say much. Fried green tomatos are like margaritas: even when done poorly, they're usually still enjoyable! Fortunately, these were not done poorly. They were solid: 3 stars. My dad loves hot browns and ordered one. I elected to go with a short rib grilled cheese. My dad said the hot brown was middle of the road: good, not notable. I felt the same way about my dish, but I must say that I think it's close to being a fantastic sandwich. The portion on the short rib grilled cheese was excellent. It was heavy and hearty. On the downside, the bread was very saturated, mostly with butter. This detracted from the crispiness I typically hope for with any grilled cheese. Secondarily, the sandwich would greatly benefit from a stronger sweet componenet. I believe it claims to have a tomato jam on it - great decision - but either this was too sparse or else not flavorful enough. I didn't detect the sweetness, which would no doubt have offset the savory, salty notes in a beautiful way. I really think this sandwich has five-star potential if accorded these two adjustments. Service was attentive. The ambiance was perhaps generic for a fine dining spot, but the whole place was pleasant and clean. I'll gladly eat in a barn if the food is good, so unless I'm on a date, I don't particularly prioritize the atmosphere. Ultimately, Mesh was meh. Meh-sh! Haha.

    Regularly head to Mesh for a nice bite. It's kid friendly, with a variety of options off the kids menu to keep it fresh. At the same time, it's a bit more upscale than more casual restaurants. The patio is lovely on nicer evenings. Have enjoyed both the burger and shrimp and grits entrees. The burger is one of the better in Louisville. The shrimp and grits have plenty of seasoning and a little spice to it. The chicken chile is also yummy but only enough for a very light meal. The salad + salmon is a bit bland. The servers are always pleasant, accommodating, and very prompt

    While I have been numerous times I do forget to leave follow up reviews. I stand on business with the first. Soooooo foolish to object. lol The salmon is what I always get. The bourbon sauce. I don't want no damn lemon dill nothing. lol they were out of the crispy leeks... but it's okay it was still perfectly cooked and my carrots were amazing. I'll need a double order of the rainbow carrots next time. The broccolini was good but I like it crunchy... so.. My lovely date had the shrimp and grits. I'm super picky about grits - so.... He loved them! (I'd order it but they can keep the grits and grit cakes lmao) The sausage was phenomenal!!!! The shrimp were cooked to perfection. I'd seriously just eat the shrimp and sausage.... Sooooo good. We also tried the blue dog bakery bread with the black Hawaiian salt- perfect so good. It's such a beautiful restaurant and always good service. Had several large parties come in so they were attentive to them and as needed lol was a lot of folks but we were busy with ourselves... so we kinda of didn't care. lol

    Or is a very nice restaurant. The prices are somewhat fair but slightly in the high side. The food quality is pretty good, but based on the atmosphere you would expect slightly more. The drinks are very very good and the staff has always been friendly

    We went for dinner here last night and had a very good experience. It had been a few years but all is still good. I liked that the decor absorbed most of the sound from conversations. We stared with the fried green tomatoes. Still the best in Louisville. My wife had the shrimp and grits. 4 shrimp. Overhead management. My salmon was tasty. The broccolini was a tad undercooked. Our server was nice but left us hanging a bit between drinks and courses. The prices were reasonable. Overall the experience was pleasant.

    Great service! The food was delish! Classy but not to the point where you feel like you don't belong.

    I frequent the bar often. I typically have a good salad or appetizer. I also drink the red sangria frequently. It's a nice place with good ambiance.

    We tried Mesh as our pre-show dinner headed to the world championship horse show. We chose to sit outside which was lovely. Service was a little slow to start but we were there early so I think that's why. The food was so delicious and the bread pudding was amazing.

    We took my mom to Mesh for her birthday tonight not knowing at all what to expect. First of all, the place is gorgeous. Moody, good lighting, cozy, and modern. We had a bit of a wait and weren't sat until 20 min after our reservation time, but the manager came over and graciously apologized and sent us a free starter of the Blue Dog bread, which was crusty and fabulous. For drinks, we all had iced tea and a couple of cocktails. The Old Fashioned came out strong, made very well with our choice of bourbon (Old Forrester 100 proof), and the Paddington Pear vodka cocktail was tangy and tart, super good. All three of us ordered from the surf side of the menu; we had the shrimp and grits, the crab cakes, and the scallops. Every single dish was phenomenal, we were all eating bites off each other's plates to try everything. The plating and the accompaniment vegetables with every dish was remarkable. To quote my mom, "These scallops are like sugar, come to Mama!" We also did the fried green tomato app and the white chocolate cherry bread pudding for dessert. My word!! We will certainly be back!

    Fried Chicken (Scrumptious!) French Toast (Really good) Strawberries and whipped cream  Shrimp and Grit cakes (Excellent!)

    A whole month in, and finally going to brunch for the first time in 2025 (outside of the cruise because that really didn't count). Tried a new spot here in Louisville, and we were not disappointed! Good mimosas (not bottomless, but only $5 a glass), the Fried green tomatoes were pretty good (too much greenery for the presentation, but still good nonetheless). Chicken and French Toast, and Shrimp & Grit cakes. Our server, Ashley, was exceptional! She made the experience super pleasant. Very cozy set up, with the music at a respectable level to enjoy it, but also enjoy conversations as well. If you're in town, this is definitely a good spot to add to your "Restaurants to Try" list.

    Had a really great meal here. Visiting in town and recommended by the owner of our bed and breakfast. Glad we chose it. Had an extensive wine list. Handful of beers on tap. Nice cocktails. My wife liked the Peach Pit. Very summery. Had a great patio, but unfortunately was much too hot for them to open it. We had the short ribs and sirloin. Both were large and prepared well. We saved room for the peanut butter pie. It was worth wait as well. Don't miss it.

We arrived at 7:50 PM for an 8 PM reservation. We got cocktails at the bar, a whiskey sour and a Cosmo. Truthfully, we were not really impressed with our drinks. We were then seated around 8:15 PM. I tend to be picky regarding reservation times and honoring them so I was displeased by the wait... to my surprise this restaurant walked away with a 5 star review regardless. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Provided good recommendations that I'm sure improved our overall experience. We ordered the old fashion to share, per our waitresses recommendation and it made up for the pre-dinner cocktails! Delicious! Our appetizers, the burrata and heirloom tomatoes & stracciatella, were a good start! Good flavor and light enough for the starter. However, the French onion gratinee stole the show. Presentation was beautiful and flavor was on point for a classic French onion soup. I ordered the belly-on pork tomahawk and was very pleased with the tenderness and flavor, especially when I asked it to be cooked more medium well. My husband got the 22oz dry aged ribeye, the repeal way with the crab on top. He requested it be cooked medium rare plus and that's exactly what he received. He expressed how amazing the steak was cooked and the flavor. We shared a side of whipped Yukon potatoes that weren't too hot to dig into! These were creamy/buttery and perfect side for our entrees. As you can imagine, we were too full to have dessert but took a piece of cheesecake to go and shared later. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed the cheesecake. The blueberry compote was a delicious addition but the plain cheesecake shines all on its own! If I'm ever back in Louisville. I will be back and I'm bringing my friends.

With Louisville having so many fine dining restaurants, I am still shocked they would chance serving such a poor quality meat.

    Must try: Rib-Eye Steak and Asparagus side dish!…read more Why: That rib-eye steak (medium-rare) was so dang juicy, tender, and flavorful. I could taste the buttery goodness and loved the chimichurri sauce. Neat experience to see the waiter flame up to melt the butter and burn the rosemary on top. The asparagus with parmigiano-regianno cheese and guanciale (salt cured pork bits) was also amazing. Plate presentation also looked great. Notes: I came on a Sunday evening and they weren't too busy. I sat at the bar to eat dinner. I had a long travel day so wanted to treat myself to a steak dinner. Waiter/bartender was welcoming and helpful. Spacious and clean restaurant. Clean bathrooms also. Great place for date night!

    Edit added next day: I should maybe add a star for the managements quick response when i emailed…read morethem the review. Or maybe not. But I believe they were sincere when they said they took my comments seriously and will look into the problems i noted. Original review below. Such a disappointment in so many ways. It started off nicely enough as I arrived for my reservation. I was given a choice of seating preferences (bar vs table) and my window-side table had a nice view outside and of the beautifully appointed room. Unfortunately things went downhill from there. I started with a drink and an appetizer as I considered the entree options. Prosciutto Montaditos: "toast topped with spreadable cheese and house-cured ham, drizzled with honey. The toast wasn't. It more resembled stale bread that was heated too long in a toaster oven: so dry it shattered into crumbs when I bit into it, with no browning on the outside and devoid of any flavor. The cheese, which might have been chèvre, was fine, but there was way too much of it. There was so little prosciutto (one thin slice per toast piece) that it could hardly be detected on its own and when I tried a small piece by itself I honestly couldn't tell the difference between this and something I'd buy at the grocery. But Cured specializes in house-cured meats so I expected to be wowed. As well, the honey drizzle was insufficient. When my waiter returned, not commenting on the mess of crumbs all over the table I made from attempting to eat this, and the substantial uneaten portions of bread and cheese, I placed my entree order. Knowing that the steaks here are a la carte, and sides are typically ordered separately (and the sides offered are very few) I inquired about the Rabo De Toro (oxtail, bell peppers, onions, garlic, carrots slow cooked with tomato paste and red wine), asking if it is a stew, like other oxtail preparations I have had. His answer was vague but he seemed to be saying yes. I ordered that. Entree arrived while I was still working on my appetizer, mid-chew with toast in hand. I had to scramble to make room for him to put it on my small table. Poor timing; a big no-no in a high end restaurant. It wasn't a stew. It was basically two chunks of meat on the plate, with a sauce on the side. It was tasty to be sure, and cooked expertly, but without any substantial vegetables (they were cooked down and used as a mirepoix to flavor the sauce) this disappeared quickly and left me wondering why I ordered it. The wording on the menu was so misleading, being more of a recipe than a description. And what's with the large flower on the plate? Edible flowers such as nasturtiums are welcome but this was something else so I asked Chatgpt which thinks it is a "purple orchid, most likely a Dendrobium, commonly used as an edible-looking but typically garnish-only on restaurant plates." So it may or may not be edible but it certainly wasn't appealing. Inedible or inappropriate garnishes have no business being on a food plate. I was drinking lightly that night so I kept it to one Aperol Spritz. It was good but why the tiny straw that didn't even reach the bottom of the glass? When the level got low and I could no longer use the straw I couldn't drink it without spilling ice and drink on myself given the rounded shape of the stem glass. When the waiter came back after I finished (the only time he did so) he asked how things were. "Well, since you asked," I began, calmly and clearly telling him of the many ways I was disappointed. He listened but didn't ask any followup questions, nor offered to pass on the feedback. All he did was apologize for my experience. Which was nice but woefully insufficient given the level of my dissatisfaction that I made clear. When he then asked if I wanted dessert I had to suppress a laugh! I wasn't going to take a chance of anything else going wrong. Even if was comped (which would be the courteous and appropriate thing to do in this situation but certainly not expected or required) I would have passed on it. He then returned with my check. Could things get any worse? Apparently they could. After a momentary shock looking at the huge number I quickly realized he gave me the wrong check! Easily straightened out as I looked around and saw another dining party also looking confused. As we exchanged checks between us I inquired how their meal went. Apparently they were satisfied. I'm happy for them. Mistakes happen and no big deal, but it was a darkly comical way to add insult to this highly disappointing experience. Before I left I stopped at the front to talk to the host, a young man. I again calmly explained my disappointment and asked that he pass on the feedback. He wouldn't even make eye contact, just sullenly looked down and muttered some sort of apology and assured me that he would pass it on. I doubt that he did. As I left he wished me, "Have a nice day," the sarcasm and derision inescapable. I wished him the same.

    If you have dietary restrictions and are looking for a restaurant on Louisville's Bourbon Row, this…read moreplace is simply amazing! We walked in off the street and asked the host whether accommodating a vegetarian with additional dietary restrictions would be an issue. Within minutes of being seated, Chef Ciro Matteo Pirozzi came to our table, carefully discussed my restrictions, and personally helped create a wonderful dinner for me. The staff, food, and ambiance made it such a memorable evening that we returned the following night. Chef Ciro again took the time to walk the staff through his recommendations, and our second experience was every bit as exceptional as the first. From the general manager and chef to the entire staff, everyone made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. If you are visiting Louisville's Bourbon Row--especially if you have dietary restrictions--I highly recommend this restaurant!

    We came for dinner- group of 6. We had a reservation, but we arrived early, so we went downstairs…read moreto their bar. They have a sweet vault door to get in. There were many seats at the bar as well as couch and chair areas. They also have bathrooms down there. Service was outstanding. We had a bourbon flight and some cocktails. Our server even took group pics for us. He also provided menus so we could be prepared for dinner. When our table was ready, we reconciled our check and headed back upstairs. Upstairs, we had amazing service also. I ordered a cocktail that they had on the downstairs menu, and not the regular menu. It did not faze our server. He said he would figure it out- and he did! After a round of drinks, we stayed with appetizers: meatballs, fritto misto, piatto di frutti di mare and the crab cake. Everything was devoured. I loved the crab cake and the meatballs. The fried calamari was pretty standard and the cold seafood platter was fine- I had an oyster off of it. For dinner, I had the "Pappardelle" : short rib ragu alla bolognese, grano padano, and added two seared scallops. Wow. The pasta is homemade. It was phenomenal. My husband had the "Maiale" : 16oz pork chop, cauliflower puree, chard, stone fruit, bourbon glaze. It was a large portion and cooked perfectly. So good. Our friends had steaks and sides, so I was able to try the Mac and cheese- which did not get congealed! The corn was delicious and the mushrooms were a variety. Of course we had dessert. I asked for cannoli and they had it! They weee not soggy. I had three different favors. I love cannoli. These were really good. We also shared the millionaire's tart and some sort of apple crumble with ice cream. Yum. We had more round of drinks throughout including some fun ones - see the treasure chest video. I would recommend this place. They have a great menu. Drinks were awesome. Service topped everything. They went out of their way for us multiple times. Thanks so much. We can't wait to come back again.

It was a warm day and there were 4 fans helping circulate the air. There was also a small stage where a lovely woman sang a mix of Spanish and English songs. She was fantastic! The food was amazing! All of us got different dishes and we all loved them! I got the Ropa Vieja en Lata which was delicious!! It's served in a can that they opened table aide with a short history of lesson as to why. It was a great experience! The reat of the table got the Vaca Frita, the Cuban sandwich, and the Pescado Crujiente. Everyone raved about their food. I'll definitely be back to try their whole menu!

    What a joke of a place!! Totally regret taking a taxi here ...what a waste of money!…read more Firstly, the person at the check in stand was horrible! And turned even worse and angry when I said I wanted a table as opposed to the offers bar. Not sure why these hosts at restaurant take such issue with a single person wanting a table rather than be crammed into a bar seat and then receive mediocre service from the bartenders! So I was told I had to wait 20 minutes. When they came to get me, guess where they sat me...in the bar!! WTAF?? Yes it was on a table, a broken table, unclean and sticky, but still in the bar in a crowded spot. As expected, zero service! I had to wait to even be greeted and when finally greeted...all I got was "what do you want to order?"! No help, no introduction, no hello or welcome! I was trying to figure out the menu and the bartender offered nothing! Said he would come back and then just disappeared! After about 10 minutes I chose to leave! What a mess! Maybe it's good...but I don't know and won't ever. I'll just go to a mom and pop place another night!
