- JNJeffreyNDenver / Colorado •14 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoTasty Steaks a little overcooked. Sides not appetizing looking but tasted good (Brussels sprouts and mushrooms).

- MJMarkJvipIndiana •8 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWe have dined here several times as we often stay at the Enbassy suites which is connected. We were promptly seated and when asked our server recommended the goat cheese bruschetta which was outstanding. We both had the cornbread crusted salmon and it was very good. A generous perfectly cooked portion served over greens. The greens paired well with the Mac and cheese. We shared the warm butter cake which while better than average wasn’t anything amazing. I have two areas of opportunity. The Mac and cheese and potatoes that came with the salmon were both less than hot when served. I should note we did not complain. Lastly, Brendan’s needs to up their game in non alcoholic drinks. The only have one mocktail and O’Doums is their only NA beer. We’re usually drinkers but are abstaining for a while. Sam Adams Just the Haze would be a welcome addition to the beer list. Several Louisville places like Volare and Seviche have a robust mocktail menu for non drinkers. I always recommend Brendan’s to friends even with the occasional miss.More infoBrendon's Catch 23Price: Very Expensive• Seafood• Downtown Louisville•4.8
