Greeted and seated for our six top. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. The breezeway entrance was welcoming. Our server, was patient and well informed. We decided to graze on appetizers and entrees sharing them to maximize our mutual experiences. The menu was unique and varied. The steak was of the highest quality cuts, well prepared, beautifully presented with my exact requested temperature. I suggest the carrots as a table side, delicious. Every plate was exceptional. $$$-$ Highly recommended Slainte read more

Let me start by saying that THIS is what Louisvilles food scene needed. I've felt slightly underwhelmed by Lou Food recently UNTIL this. The food here was phenomenal. The environment was posh, calm, yet uplifting. All of the staff members were welcoming and greeted us with smiles! Our server, Carey, was wonderful. Helped us through the whole menu! He had tried just about everything since the restaurant opened and stated there wasn't a bad dish on the menu. After eating here, I would likely agree. GET THE CACIO E PEPE! Sorry to be so aggressive, but for anyone who loves a simple, delicious pasta. It is hands down my new favorite. Not meaning the pasta type either, but from here in particular. The flavors pop unlike any I've had before. The cocktails are elegant and well crafted. Be sure to tip Mikey extra! And whomever is in charge of dessert.... They should get a badge of honor. The lemon bar. Gahhh. I can't finish this review. I've got to go get cacio and lemon bars. Seriously though. Give this spot a shot. You won't regret it. read more

Not the best food. Beans were hard and chef seemed offended by my comments. I had high hopes but I won't be coming back. I was looking for a good spot for corporate dinners but this won't be it. read more

Late post for past weeks last minute reservations at the opening night of PASEO in the myriad hotels on Baxter ! Spanish Mediterranean food vibes , specially curated plate ware and cutleries. Beautiful place in the evening sunset. Lotsa greenery in the restaurant. We ordered the food per recommendation from the expert. The duck paella was like melt in ur mouth tender. The creamy polenta with soft boiled egg dip insane... and the hummus brûlée with nuts. I will come back next time for the seafood paella! And the scallops !! The hotel part of it is due to open later in the year but this would be an amazing hang out ! read more

I live nearby so I've been watching for months waiting for this place to open. I stopped by tonight for some drinks and an app. The interior is lovely--very light and modern. My partner and I ordered the eternal shore and Stevie's dream cocktails and the hamachi crudo. The cocktails were good, and I'm not normally a cocktail person. The crudo was very tasty--the "sauce" was a delicate balance of floral and citrus, and the hamachi tasted like it was lightly salt-cured. It was expensive though--$22 for 3 thin pieces of hamachi. NYC prices in Louisville. I'm not opposed to splurging for good food, but the crudo was too pricey for the portion and the location. I'm sure I'll be back, but this won't be a regular dining spot because of the food prices. Other pluses though are that the employees are very friendly, and the drinks are reasonably priced. read more

The food is always good but one of the waitresses continues to be a disappointment. She is rude, abrupt and makes inappropriate comments to people just trying to enjoy an evening. I don't recall her name / forgot to grab it off the receipt but a close friend said the last time this waitress was mean / rude as well. Go for the food, don't stay long due to the staff read more

This is a fantastic place to get drinks or hang out. The ambiance and the set up makes you feel like you are on a big city. Their is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You can tell their was a lot of thought from the owner when designing the restaurant. The employees were nice and everyone greeted us. The food was ok. My favorite was the hummus. I ordered the wood fired chicken and I really enjoyed all of the side but the chicken was unflavorful. The Harris sounce addition added the flavor. read more

Very nice and very pleasant greeting and wait staff. Everyone trying to make your visit enjoyable. We were seated immediately at a table of our choice. Nice. It was a nicely refined atmosphere but very noisy. Our first cocktail we ordered off their specials but we won't make that mistake again, when I ordered a Black Manhattan it was perfect. Absolutely perfect! We got the Hummus appetizer and it was delicious! Being our first time here the menu was confusing and we ordered things we knew, but after we started seeing what was coming out to other tables we have to come back and try more things. I ordered the lamb burger which was excellent and my wife got the Lamb Ragu Pasta. Both were so good. We finished off the bite with the Cheesecake which was very good. All in all we have to come back for more! And you should too! read more

Amazing service, great food. Outdoor seating is a plus! Holly is an amazing server! Would come back again a specially in the summer. Would recommend trying by the lanai for a refreshing cocktail. read more

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. Beautiful space with room for large groups or date nights. Friendly staff who gave helpful guidance (everything looked good!). The cocktails were great and they had a solid wine list. And the food was terrific. The hummus brûlée starter was outstanding, as were our entrees (hake with Moroccan spices and seafood paella). Overall and outstanding experience from start to finish-- we'll absolutely be back early and often. read more

Paseo is on a short list of Louisville restaurants that can hold the attention of six food-centric friends. Three couples comprised of two classically trained chefs, two restaurateurs/craft cocktail bar owners, and two creative directors are all writers, directors, curators, conceptual thinkers, gardeners, and cooks. Our collective expectations for a dining experience are admittedly challenging to meet, given that we regularly make and host memorable meals at home. At a restaurant, we are looking for a creative mastery of techniques and flavors applied to the freshest ingredients with clever cocktails and wines to pair with the food, a space that anchors the experience with a conveyance of the brand, and a fun, engrossed team parading the food to the table all at once at the proper temperature- Paseo has all of it. The crew makes it seem effortless, though we know and appreciate that it isn't. At Paseo, the wood-fired stove brings the familiar yet unexpected addition of campfire smoke to a comfortable, elegant table. The kitchen team knows when an ingredient should be presented as it is and when it should be coaxed along for a maximum complexity of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and umami. Nothing looks or tastes like it was added just to impress. Every accompaniment is selected for its quality of color, texture, flavor, and aroma to tie each dish together like the handcrafted gift it is, made with a sensitive human hand and a keen eye for detail. The six of us made the following selections for the table: * Whipped Labneh Cream Duo * Beef Tartare * Chorizo Octopus * Seafood Paella * Grilled NY Strip * Tandoori Chicken * Scallops * Duck * Grilled Carrots * Wood-Fired Broccoli * Baklava with cherries & lemon-rosemary cream * Soft serve ice cream in a charcoal cone Wines: * Cava Brut Rose * White Rioja * Cotes du Rhone We settled in together at a restaurant-center banquette with the Cava Brut Rose, sharing stories from our day. Then, the discussion began about what to order and how much to order, and there was a conference with Tim Quinlan to pair the wines because Tim knows! The white rioja was poured a few minutes before the labneh, tartare, and octopus starters were set down on our table to set us up for a spotlit dining experience. So much color, texture, richness, flavor, and brightness was everything appetizing. The comforting, interactive labneh presents two creamy renditions, a flatbread and a crudite. The tartare is rich and buttery. The octopus punctuated the course with an exclamation point! It comes from the sea but plates like it's from outer space- hinting at what will follow in the seafood paella. Halfway through the gold and creamy Rioja, the Cotes du Rhone was opened. It deepened my expectations for dinner with the roundness of the tannins. I was seated in the middle of the banquette and got the full view of the procession of our dishes as they came to our table. Presented as a paragon of individual still-life paintings, it was a harmonious exhibition of surf and turf accompanied by seasonal vegetables from the farm. We all took from every plate: paella, steak, chicken, scallops, duck, carrots, broccoli- chewing was an easy pleasure. Every protein was cooked perfectly, and every vegetable was cooked el dente so I could taste the care taken to select it and bring it from the growers. Of all the dishes I have eaten as of June, the seafood paella is the one I would choose if I had to eat only one dish for the rest of the year. The presentation and its waft of smoke gave me pause and a rush of camping memories. The anticipation of the taste was exceeded by the breadth and balance it brought, with deep satisfaction and praise for the ability of the line to pull it off! It is elegant, rich, rustic, and approachable, and the smoked roe is an individual touch granting us permission to eat luxe with agrarian, leveling the value of ingredients to their flavor, not their cost. I could not eat dessert ;-} Thank you to Paseo for directing a dining experience that felt like a live performance where we were both players and members of the audience. It was an improvisation within the confines of your carefully curated menu. I know we lingered too long, but it was a meal we did not want to end. read more

This just is not my vibe at all. The ambiance was good and the service was great. They were really lacking in their vegetarian options. None of the pastas were vegetarian. My waitress said they could alter it and take out the meant, but I wasn't about to pay 23 dollars for a pasta with no protein. I ended up having to just get two sides. Their carrots and their wedges. Both were good, but it was still just not satisfying eating here. The other veg options were just too small looking for the prices. read more

The food was pretty good, we started with the hummus appetizer and the texture and flavor was very good. The bread was also very good but pretty hard to mess that up. The atmosphere was excellent and something you look for in a nice dinner out in Louisville. The main course we split the land paeso which was great, the beef was very tender and the rice and cheese blend was excellent. Pricing seemed fair and reasonable. We did wait in my opinion too long for our food, which our server and another women came over and apologized and told our party to let them know if we can do anything to make it up to us. But overall a pretty good spot, dont think I would seek out going in the future, but if asked to go I would happily say yes. read more

The food was absolutely some of the best I've had in town recently. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and provided detailed descriptions for those in our group with food restrictions. The location is a hidden gem that sits back off busy Baxter Ave in an alcove that feels like an oasis in such a busy corridor. They also have outdoor seating for those beautiful spring days! Highly recommend. read more

Paseo - Halibut - Mediterranean Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Had a fun evening at Paseo. Their apps were the highlight of the experience. The toasted hummus was a crowd favorite with really interesting flavor profile. They provided ample fresh pita and crudite. Also enjoyed then crispy ricotta and would highly recommend to share. The Sunday gravy pasta was rich, but portion was a bit lacking and it was lukewarm upon arrival. The Halibut was pretty bland. Overall, it's a really nice date spot with a hip vibe, but really loud inside. The patio looked lovely and a bit quieter. Our server was attentive and had plenty of recommendations for our table. read more

From the inviting ambiance to the incredible flavors, this hidden gem surpassed all expectations. It was an unforgettable birthday experience. The cocktails, including the espresso martini, Stevie's Dream, and Eternal Shore, were EXACTLY what I needed. Finally some good cocktails in this city.

The service and ambiance were great--no complaints there.

One of the worst lunches I and my two regular luncheon friends have had. The ham croquettes were inedible, the chicken salad sandwich was a mix of too many flavors that didn't belong together, and the lamb burger didn't have a hint of flavor. We had been anticipating eating at Paseo for months but will not be back. read more

What an outstanding new addition to the Bardstown Rd/ Baxter Ave scene! We were a table of six and started with eclectic and delicious cocktails then shared the salad (could have eaten buckets of this), octopus, and hummus - everything had great flavors. Pastas, chicken, and beef dishes for dinner with great sharing sides of veg. The seasonings and charrings were perfection. The lemon bar at the end (see pic) made extraordinary out of the ordinary. Fantastic attention by Ashley who gave us confident but casual service and suggested we might have our last round out on the patio overlooking the cool new urban pool - we'll be back. This would be a great place to take out of towners, as well. read more

Saw this restaurant on social media and wanted to give it a try. Boy did it not disappoint! The ambiance was cozy and warm feeling the moment you stepped in. The table we were sat at for a party of two was a little small for my liking but I am not a fan of two tops. Food? Woozier, we started off with the hummus (not pictured), being a veggie lover, I added the side of veggies, even my picky husband loved it! Our dinner was running a little behind and the server brought over a squash dish on the house. My dinner was the cauliflower dish which was cooked to perfection, I can still taste it! My husband's steak dish, according to him, was cooked very well and overall he gave it a 10! Definitely added this place to our rotation of must eats. read more

Overhyped and overpriced. Decent enough. But reminds me of the Mediterranean sister of Sorino in Schnitzelburg. Bring the prices down and work on that Hake sauce (too sweet, no complexity) and you might have something. People will go anyway because it's new and cute. Service was solid. Will give them that. Food needs some work. Hummus was decent, but overly fatty and, again, not enough complexity. They'll work out the kinks in time I'm sure as a middle of the road, decent spot in town. read more

I had high hopes for this place and was very disappointed. There did not appear to be much, if any, salt used while cooking. It was bizarre. I paid $30 for a piece of underseasoned cauliflower and that makes me a literal clown. The spot was very beautiful, but the food was surprisingly terrible. read more

Made reservations on open table for a week day night and boy did we need it. The place was bustling with people, and we had to wait 10 or 15 minutes at the bar for a table. The new space has a boho vibe with plants and wooden accents. The show stopper for me was the cauliflower steak. Great for a drink or full dinner read more

Great new spot. Charming patio, delicious food and creative drinks. Will return for certain!

The drinks were amazing and the people were awesome! Also had some hummus and it was fantastic!
