We source ingredients from local farmers. Certified Bourbon Stewards are on staff to guide diners on selection of Kentucky’s native spirit.

    Reservation on a Saturday evening and we were seated upon arrival. There’s a $5 aperol spritzer special on Saturdays. My friend had it and she enjoyed it. I opted for an Old Fashioned. It was really good but the glass was pretty small and the price matched that at $7. Reasonable. Our server was very attentive & friendly and she was busy. The green chili wontons are always delicious. I had the Theresa’s Sweet Chili Linguine as it’s my favorite. Didn’t disappoint!! Entrees used to come with a small house salad. No more. Would be nice to have that included as the homemade house dressings are delicious. All in all it was a fun night out with friends and a nice dining experience. The Bristol can always be counted on for consistency of food & service. Next, we’ll be coming back for the Sunday Brunch. It’s so good!!
