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.

My hubby and I have an ongoing, unspoken competition: who can find the best steak in Louisville?…read moreThe one spot we always wanted to try closed a few years back, so every new place now has some pretty high expectations to meet -- from meal quality to overall experience to value. Hubby took me to one of the oldest steakhouses in town last fall, and even with three adults, the bill was noticeably lower than what we spent at this establishment. Service here gets a solid 5 stars -- everyone was attentive and personable. Ambience earns a strong 4 stars with a nice vibe that fits the area. The menu itself is intriguing, and every dish we ordered came out at the right temperature and well‑executed. Overall flavor was good. The desserts, however, didn't quite match the caliber we hoped for -- though to be fair, we're not professional food critics, so take that for what it's worth. Not sure yet if we'd return. If we did, it'd probably be with a larger group so we could share the dishes we enjoyed and make the price point feel a little more balanced. That said, the location is perfect for out‑of‑towners staying at the nearby hotels and those hitting the area's higher‑end entertainment spots.

We stated with the Fire appetizer, grilled season shrimp, escargot, broiled oyster, and scallops. The escargot was not done in any sauce, basically just cooked in the shell., no butter or garlic. The scallops were gritty and the oysters were terrible. The shrimp were pretty good but different seasoning. We had the Caesar salad which was pretty good. My wife had the special of lobster and filet. The lobster was way over cooked and the filet was a salt block. She could not eat it. We tried to cut the seasoning off of it to eat it. Definitely not worth $80. I had the charred octopus. I must say it was very good and I shared it with my wife and ate some of her steak. We also had the lister Mac and cheese which was ok. The service was hit and miss. The waiter liked to talk to other tables and took awhile to get back at times. Will not be going back.

The new owners did not fix one of the major drawbacks of the space, however, and it is just as loud as Toast was. Sound baffling would help, but it wouldn't have made my experience all that much better. We were seated at a table in the back. Despite our fairly early reservation, we were next to an 8-person table that, when filled, got noisy. The velvet cushioned seats were nice. Booths looked good as well. Lighting is low and intimate. Drinks were meh. I wasn't impressed. I tried two and both were single note without much sophistication. The menu looked interesting, but I wasn't impressed with the execution. My scallops had good flavor but were overcooked and very soft. The braised short rib was good but it sat on a bed of spaghetti that was cut up; like you would for a child. The service was hit and miss. At times, our server seemed to be actively ignoring us to the point where one of our quartet jokingly asked if one of us had dated them and it had ended badly. The Fair is expanding, which is great, and I wish them the best, but a rating of "fair" is about all I could give my visit.

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.

"Doctor, doctor, give me the news I've got a bad case of…read morelovin' you" (Robert Palmer) Doc Crow's two locations (Indianapolis and Louisville) specialize in Southern cuisine, so you'll see pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, gumbo, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, okra, and jambalaya on the menu. Four of us had an excellent experience for our dinner in Louisville, and besides the food, a lot of that experience was due to our server, Julie. She was great, super friendly and professional, and expertly answered a ton of Bourbon-related questions from my Bourbon loving friend. My wife and I dove into the Southern theme and had a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16), Southern Colada ($16), Fried Green Tomatoes ($10), and a Southern Gumbo ($10) for dinner. I ordered the Fried Gren Tomatoes to share with the table, and they were wonderful - "Five full moon green tomatoes fried in cornmeal and panko, topped with fresh chives and served with Doc's Remoulade". They were light as a feather, most definitely non-greasy and had a great crunch from the panko and cornmeal. My Southern Gumbo (A hearty stew filled with andouille sausage, chicken and vegetables in savory Cajun broth served over rice. Served with cornbread) was excellent. Great flavor, great spice, plenty of sausage and chicken, and excellent accompaniments in the rice and cornbread. And how could I not mention my Southern Colada, with Michter's US*1 Sour Mash, Pineapple Juice & Coconut. It was quite a bit stronger than any Colada I ever had, but I guess that can be expected when you use an 86-proof small batch Kentucky whiskey in your Colada. Of course, I loved it. This was our second visit to Doc Crow. We were there a few days ago as the first stop on our Louisville food tour and enjoyed a delicious bowl of shrimp and grits. The Doc sure treated us well. PRO TIP Be sure to check out the Doc's jaw dropping collection of bourbon bottles that seem to dominate the various rooms wherever you look.

The restaurant includes a long row of bar seating that extends to the other end of the restaurant, so there was no problem for me to find a seat on a busy day. I ordered the Mac n cheese and braised greens, and the Mac n cheese was really good and creamy. The braised greens were just okay, it wasn't the best greens I've had and it could use extra flavor. I don't know if this is a thing they do at Doc Crow's, but in my opinion the bartender excessively kept asking me what I wanted even while I was still looking at the menu. This definitely frustrated me since it was clear that I wasn't ready yet. I think she should have done a better job reading my cues to figure out when I am ready to order.
