- SSkyeFayetteville / Northwest Arkansas •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAmazing food and service. We ate the filet and lobster and it was the best steak I’ve ever eaten. The truffle butter added lots of flavor as well. The skillet potatoes and carrot only added to the experience. Highly recommend to anyone in the Louisville area.More infoBob's Steak & Chop House - LouisvillePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown Louisville•4.8

Love the east end location, but love this one even more with its live jazz, special branding on their cocktails & ambiance.

- AAmandaCentral Kentucky •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoBrendon’s Catch was fantastic. The food was outstanding. Flavors were amazing. Not greasy. Good size portions. I didn't think I had room for desert but our fabulous waiter Jamie suggested the butter cake and it was simply amazing. It was big enough for two but I managed to eat most of it myself lol Everyone was pleasant and friendly from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was great for date night or a relaxing night out with friends. I could see someone renting the whole place for an event as well. Sorry no pics because I like to enjoy my evening more than I like to document it. We will definitely be back.More infoBrendon's Catch 23Price: Very Expensive• Seafood• Downtown Louisville•4.8
