Wanted to LOVE this place as it’s close to home, but really felt like experience was mediocre. I had the pork chop and it lacked flavor, couldn’t get past the char taste. My husband had the pasta and he said it was really good. We had a bottle of wine which was as reasonably priced and an appetizer (burrata) which was good, but nothing to write home about.

Very little has changed since Anoosh Bistro became ATA as far as the physical layout goes. The food was very good although my usual criticism of restaurants holds again…too much salt. Also they are fond of blue cheese which I am not. The gin martini and Cosmopolitan were very good. The pork chop was perfect. The salmon special was good. A little overcooked and a little salty but still tasty. The apple tart dessert was delicious. The service was good as long as you’re not in a hurry. Relax and enjoy the meal. 1 crab cake appetizer (2 small crab cakes) 1 salmon special 1 pork chop 2 cocktails 1 dessert $161 before tip. A little pricey but not out of line with similar dining options in Louisville. For a well prepared meal in an elegant restaurant you will be satisfied.

Great service—Very professional, helpful in making recommendations. The bus boy even escorted to show where bathroom was. Food was exceptional. When was last time you were served an amuse bouche and complimentary bread (with parmesan cream)? We had crab cakes, salmon and striped bass—all fantastic. Beet salad, mussels and desserts were great too. Can’t wait to go back.

Salad and soup were the best part of our meal this evening - beet salad for my partner, corn chowder for me. Gnocchi and fish entrees were both disappointing. Service was excellent throughout.
