    Steak frites
    Ashley W.

    Greeted instantly when we walked in and were seated right away without a reservation on a Sunday evening. Menu was full of delicious options, it was hard to narrow down between the brown butter swordfish, short ribs, burgers, steak, fried chicken. We ultimately ordered steak frites (medium rare) with an extra side of mac and cheese, and the fried chicken with cheddar grits and kale. Both dishes were huge, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. The fries are hand cut like Penn Station style, and the Mac and cheese has a creamy alfredo style white cheese on it. The cheddar grits were excellent, and the breading on the chicken was crisp and drizzled with a light bit of sweet syrup - so good! We'll definitely be back, everything was phenomenal, including the service.

    Kentucky Hot Brown

    Evyn our lovely hostess and perfect server made sure everyone in our party received kind and friendly attention. The atmosphere is fun and the food was exquisite. Fried brussels sprouts out of this world and truffle fries with aioli just wonderful! The Shrimp and Grits I chose for my birthday entree was like no grits I've had before. Heavenly. 2 of our group raved about the Kentucky Hot Brown. The chef here is a semifinalist in the James Beard Foundation award and it's easy to see why. You want to come to The Red Yeti before New York whisks him away‍

    Fried Chicken Sammie with side of Grits
    Mark T.

    I don't know if the kitchen had an off day, bad luck, or what, but all semblance of quality was MIA. I ordered a Fried Chicken Sammie with grits as my side. The fried chicken was as dry as a flipflop. If there was any crispness to the meat's breading, the otherwise dry meat worked against it. The same is true for the rest of the sandwich. The veggies, sauce, and bread were all overshadowed by the disgrace the kitchen allowed to leave its doors. I wish I could say the grits fared better, but I cannot. Two issues here: first, the consistency wasn't very grits-y. Perhaps they use a coarser grind? The real undoing is that the salt level was very high. It seems as though they salted the grits as though plain, and then added a salty cheese. You may ask yourself if I wished I ordered fries, and I have to say no. I stole (with permission), a fry from my friend. Instead of something fresh, hot, and crisp, I found a limp, sad piece of oiled potato that seems like when I make my own pan fries, and re-heat them in the microwave. I did enjoy their vibe, it feels almost like a BBQ spot. There is plenty of brick, combined with wood and dark notes. As for the service, no complaints there. Final verdict: While some things I tried were worse than others, there was nothing that I would want to order again. Worse still, if I had leftovers, I would not ask for a doggy bag. With this, I would encourage you to seek out a different spot for a meal. I don't know if the kitchen had an off day, bad luck, or what, but any semblance of quality was MIA.

    Truffle Fries Roasted Garlic Aioli Weisenberger Mills White Cheddar Grits

    Visiting family in Jeffersonville and they recommended The Red Yeti so we decided to give them a try! Unfortunately we got there at dinner time and we missed out on being able to order the Brisket Tacos . But all was not lost as I found cheese grits and truffle fries on the menu! Yes I know that doesn't sound like a "meal" but when you are on vacation you should be able to eat what you want! The waitress was friendly, attentive, and ensured all our questions about the menu were answered, along with giving us a recommendation for dessert. The decor in the restaurant was fun and I really loved the exposed brick. My cheese grits were full of flavor and cooked perfectly, just a wee bit on the salty side. I still gobbled those suckers down tho! The truffle fries with roasted garlic aioli were the star of the show and I see why so many people recommend them! And for the price we received a pile of fries so it was well worth it to me. My sweet tea was perfectly steeped and not overly sweet, which made this southern gal very happy. I had no room for dessert but our family insisted we split a slice of homemade cheesecake with caramel sauce and although I could only manage 3 bites it was phenomenal. I sure do wish I had room for more!!

    A bowl of potato bacon soup with a Negroni cocktail delicious!

    It was a chilly Sunday night so we decided to go and sit at the bar and have a drink at the red yeti. Carly, the bartender was amazing. I decided to have the soup of the day which was potato bacon soup, which was fantastic.

    4 stars. Service here was amazing!! Jessica took great care of us during our visit. We arrived too late for brunch - the cutoff is 1:45. So, we ate off the "transition menu" which is an abbreviated menu that allows them to flip over to the dinner menu. We enjoyed the truffle fries. The brisket sandwich was fantastic. The fried chicken was tasty, too. As for the sides... The grits were very savory. The braised kale was surprisingly good. It's almost like collard greens, but with the texture of turnips - very soft. The Mac n cheese was mushy and lacked flavor - I wouldn't order that again. It's a small spot, so I would call ahead to check the wait. There are only a few tables... and then there are even less when the buffet is out. There's a bar in the other side, but we didn't check it out. Maybe next time!

    Once again I have dined at this restaurant. They never fail me in taste and flavor. I always get the same thing and it's consistently the same. I highly recommend. My only suggestion to the owner is the employees are not the most friendly and it takes away from the experience. The hostess was polite but busy at a table having a conversation. The waiter was nice but not very happy. being in the service industry employees should welcome and make the customer feel welcome. Possibly they had a rough day , I get it! I was up at 3 am California time not really wanting to come to Kentucky, but the thought of having these tacos made the trip less bearable. Very nice location, outdoor seating !

    Had a delicious dinner at the Red Yeti tonight. We had experienced Chef Michael Bowe at Cooking at the Cottage previously and wanted to see his restaurant. His team is fantastic, the atmosphere is chic and his food is spectacular. I'd happily recommend to both friends and family.

    One of our last stops in a 20-day road rip, including many restaurants and bars. This place was outstanding, very cool vibe, great service, and excellent food. If we ever drive through again, we will definitely stop in

    We sat outside on their small patio and had a great lunch! Our server was very nice and attentive. I got a beer called Fat Orange Cat Brew Baby Kittens. Cute name! It was a hazy IPA and had a fresh citrus taste. It was so refreshing on a warm day. There wasn't a lot of choices on their lunch menu, so I got the Fauxhawk Burger and hand cut fries. Burger was so fresh and tasted great! I really liked the tomato jam on it. Fries were also very good.

We had a couple cocktails in here and the service was excellent even though it appeared they were filled to capacity. There were 4 of us in our party and we were seated at a table in the corner near the bar. Was definitely a cozy spot with so many people being in there and the bar being full. I had The Holy Ghost cocktail and it was a pomegranate hibiscus sour, it had just the right amount of sour! I do not like bitter drinks and this one was good and easy to drink. My husband had a couple of dark beers, I do not remember which ones but he liked them. They had a nice outdoor area but it was a bit too cool for that but it may be worth a return in the Spring to check it out. Bathroom was also really cool as the decor and theme spilled over into it. We will be back.

Their beer is fun, innovative and isn't afraid to explore. Although it may not be groundbreaking but making good beer doesn't always have to be. Even if beer isn't your jam I highly recommend stopping in and tasting the menu that Chef Kathryn Fink has created and Everytime I'm here there's always something new to try be it a weekly special or the ever changing menu. The smoked whitefish pate is outstanding and always a great starter. The look and feel of Monnik always reminds me of a cottage in the mountains and after spending time inside it's so easy to get lost and forget where you're at. As for the service it's always top notch and helpful. I've spent countless hours at the bar asking about different styles of beer and what makes them special.
