    Great dining experience! The food was wonderful and our server, Darrell, was so attentive and accommodating it made the entire time we were there unforgettable. The only downside was that the only reservation we could get was at 4:30 pm on a Sunday, but that was because it's so popular there, and despite the high prices. But it was worth it, and we'd happily go back.

    Short rib post roast was amazing definitely a 10/10. Au gratin potatoes weren’t my favorite. The complementary rolls with tallow butter were delicious. My husband got the filet. He said it was good, nothing super special but still delicious and no complaints. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

    I want to thank Regional Manager Melissa for the outstanding attention she gave us! We showed up for brunch and didn't realize it was not offered on weekdays. She read my disappointment and went above a beyond to ensure I was going to love the experience anyway :). BOY am I glad we stayed. She recommended the French Onion Soup and it was probably the best thing we've had in a long time! Delicious!!! We'll be back, and often! Go see them...Le Moo is awesome!!

    Awesome restaurant, we had a reservation at 8pm and went an hour early to sit at the bar and have a drink. We were able to find two seats together without issues. Hostess even offered to sit us early if we wished. Once we made our way to the dining room we were greeted by a very nice waitress who went above and beyond to make our experience awesome. Everything we ate was amazing. Will go back, best steakhouse in Louisville.

    Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.
