    The bar and a bit of the dining room.
    Susie R.

    What a great spot! Louisville friends brought us here as it's one of their very favorite and we enjoyed it immensely. We walked in to the sounds of a live pianist who was very talented, very pleasant atmosphere. The service was wonderful (thank you, Ken!), the food was even better. I had their burger, excepting the hot pickle because I'm a spice-wimp. The meat was a bit south of medium rare but I'm ok with rare at a good restaurant. Nice char. The Dijon based sauce was outstanding and really took this up a notch. Their french fries are shoestring type and perfectly delicious. RRR got one of the specials, the filet mignon, medium rare and it came out rare. Very rare. Neither of us send meals back to the kitchen unless it's inedible and he was able to eat it, just found some of it tough. His green beans were also a bit too al dente. The mashed potatoes were really good. We had no space for dessert but they looked amazing. So sad we couldn't partake. This will be our first go-to spot when we visit again!

    The Pine Room is a bit outside of our typical radius for go-to dining options, but if that's the case for you as well, don't let the location deter you. We visited for dinner, and I opted for the special, a filet served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We also enjoyed the decadent chocolate bourbon cake, because let's face it, combining chocolate and bourbon is a match made in dessert heaven! Everything was pretty good. Beyond the food, the ambiance is great for a date or intimate dinner. The soft lighting, along with the live piano music, creates a cozy atmosphere. It's an ideal spot for a relaxed evening with friends or a special occasion.

    I was always intrigued by the Pine Room when I drove by. So I was pleased to find out that it had the simple elegance, excellent service, and delicious menu that I would've expected when I visited recently. We went early on a Friday evening and had a reservation. I would highly recommend a reservation, and even going early is helpful, as this place is popular and got hopping pretty quickly. We were led to our booth and seated, before promptly being greeted by our server. We started with drinks - Harrods Creek Fizz for me - and ordered a round of mussels and fries to start with. The fizz was very tart to begin with and got a little less sharp by the end of the drink. I might try something else next time. As far as food, the mussels were really delicious in a coconut milk broth, and the shoestring French fries were perfect when dunked in some mayo (which we requested on the side). For our entrees, we all chose the salmon (which is gluten-free to boot!). We all agreed that the temperature, texture, and flavor were excellent. The couscous was a good addition but had some spice to it that I actually could have done without (mostly because I was sharing with our high chair guest and the spice didn't suit them). The place became a hive of activity as our meal progressed. People gathered at the bar and a pianist started up some tunes, which heightened the festive atmosphere. I am so glad that we got to visit the Pine Room and enjoy our dinner there. If it's on your list of places to try, I recommend that you give it a go soon!

    I've never been to this part of the city. The restaurant is tucked away among the trees. It's so charming and clean inside. I was only a party of 1 and was seated immediately. Server was great. I didn't order an appetizer so the food pace was off a bit, between getting my drink and entree but I understand. I ordered a mocktail Harrod's Creek Fizz Super yummy and not too sweet Entree - Salmon with pesto couscous This was sooo good Salmon was medium in temp which was perfect - moist and rich. Flavor was amazing. The pesto couscous was delicious. Panna cotta dessert - this was excellent too! Raspberry sorbet was refreshing. Whipped cream went well with the panna cotta. I'm used to panna cotta being a bit looser but the flavor was so good that it's okay! Highly recommend I originally wanted the cherry pie but it is a 15 min wait. I'll have to come back and order it ahead of time.

    Literally the best restaurant in Louisville. Best strongest drinks also. Ignore any review that is not 5 stars

    Steak frites

    This is such a cute place on river road. I'll be come back for the decor and ambiance alone. All the appetizers my table got were amazing and I wish I remembered to take pictures. The brussel sprouts and pretzel bread with bourbon queso were so good but the real star was the cauliflower. Definitely will be going back to do an appetizer night here. I thought the appetizers were the best part of the meal. For my entree I got the bolognese. It was pretty good but I've gotten the fried chicken before and liked that better. I also tried the pork chop which was good and the flank steak which was a little chewy. I know flank steak is usually a bit tougher but this was a little too tough.

    Pork chops

    I don't typically order pork chops at a restaurant but this was truly delicious and would definitely get it again. The ambiance was nice and cozy. And the service was very nice too! I would come back here again

    From the moment we walked in just an amazing experience. We were part of a surprise party of 6 and…read morethe staff knew it. They created our birthday girl as a reservation for 2 instead of 6 and helped us surprise her at the table. The lighting is a bit dark but that helped the surprise. The manager brought out a sparkling wine and the chef sent out an amuse bouche. The pimento spread was so good we took a pint home for $20 (shhh secret). Our waitress Mo was professional a helpful with meal suggestions and separating some mushrooms for me. The shrimp appetizer is delicious and had 9 shrimp. The corn fitters come in 4 and Mo added 2. They were okay but I'd try something different in the future. The whole large kernels were odd in a light fritter. Our meals were fantastic. Everyone raved about bites of the filet and the chicken dish. The bolognese is a staple in the menu and was almost the perfect bite, perhaps a bit more meat in the sauce but the pasta was perfect. I had the wild boar and goat cheese polenta. The polenta didn't have a strong goatyness to it but was creamy, I ate it all. The boar was done to just short of falling off the bone. I used a piece of the grilled bread from my friends pasta to finish the meal. The wine list is short but complex. We had the Rioja red, so dry and smelled of old leather, but was a perfect wine to cut through the richness of the dishes. Our seat had a great view of the whiskey wall (almost every seat does) and it was a conversation piece the whole evening. Oh, forgot to mention the manhattan can be made into a black manhattan- outstanding. Best I've had in a restaurant. We are already making plans for our parties next birthday in July and will be asking for Mo. she was there at every turn throughout the meal. Pleasant and there to help at any point. The manager checked on us two times. WHP does fine dining so well. I haven't had such a wonderful evening for everyone in quite some time. We will be back and highly recommend. Will be sending out an executive's here when they are looking for L'ville dining. Well done. Sorry no pics, the room is dark and the ones I took don't do the meal justice.

Food 2.5/5: This obviously carries the most weight. The menu itself is excellent and the descriptions and components of each dish sound perfect. The execution was way off! Literally everything was far too salty and we ordered things that should not be salty... diver scallops and black cod. These are delicate proteins that don't need much help. Why oh why over-salt these?! Oddly the cook on both was very good but the seasoning ruined both dishes. Drinks 4.5/5: We had 3 different cocktails all of which were excellent.

    Pretty Decent is an amazing Plant Bar ... yes you read that correctly, a Plant Bar, which is such a…read morecool concept. I've been a few times now and it's always very chill and relaxing, and I love the music selection. When you walk in the plant shop is in the front and the bar is in the back. I recommend heading to the bar, grabbing a delicious hand crafted cocktail and relaxing for a bit. However if you're super eager to shop grab a cocktail to enjoy while you walk around the store. I've only ever had the Carajillo bc it's so damn good. It's light, refreshing and delicious. It consists of dark matter cold brew, Licor 43, Paranubes Cafe de Olla, Alma Tepec pasilla chile liqueur, hazelnut, cinnamont. They have the best mezcal by the bottle selection which I believe you can purchase some online. While sitting at the bar, I noticed all the bottles neatly displayed on the shelf behind the bar and none of the labels are ones I've ever seen before. In addition to being able to shop for plants, they also offer Plant workshops that you can sign up for online! Some of the workshops include a price for two people so pay attention to what you're signing up for. And if you happen to get hungry and need a snack, they also offer a few light bar snacks that consists of chips and salsa, spicy oaxacan peanuts, spicy pickled carrots, and Nemi Mexican lime crunchy snack.

Behind the lush greenery and unassuming storefront is Pretty Decent, a mezcal bar that's anything but "pretty decent"--it's ridiculously cool. My only regret is that I didn't get more pictures to share because this place is very cool. But I was enjoying myself too much to be bothered with my phone. The vibe? Immaculately chill. Moody lighting, thoughtful design, and a playlist that makes you want to stay all night. It's the kind of place that feels like a secret you're lucky to be in on. We started with a Paloma recommended by Ethan (bartender and apparently low-key rockstar). It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and an excellent recommendation.. We chatted mezcal, music, and more--Ethan's the kind of bartender who makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Got to talk mezcal with the owner, John, who's clearly passionate and seriously knowledgeable. He shared stories about sourcing, traveling, and working directly with producers. Learned more in 10 minutes from him than I have from any spirit tasting I've done. Super generous with his time and samples, which led to me walking out with a bottle of Espadín, an agave spirit, I'm now obsessed with. You don't find places like this often. It's got soul, character, and people who actually care about what they're doing. Come for the plants, stay for the mezcal. Pretty Decent? Nah--Pretty Damn Exceptional.
