    We sat outside and with the umbrella, the temperature was perfect. Megan was our server and was so friendly and provided flawless service. The food and drinks were great! We changed our departure just so we could stop here for lunch and it was worth it!

    Ultra modern and beautiful facility. Wide and spacious area to walk into the restaurant with great decor. This was by far the best meal we had on our KBT experience. Follow up lunch with a tour is the cherry on top!

    We have been to the restaurant at Bardstown many times. It has always been great. This visit left a little bit to be desired. Service was slow and they messed up our salad and drinks. They also ran out of unsweetened iced tea. We had a burger and a chicken sandwich, along with the salad and our bill was over $60. Kinda steep for what we received. Will probably give them another chance, maybe it was an off day?

    Service was phenomenal, but you could tell the kitchen was getting slammed. It was our first time there so we had zero expectations going in other than to try some items and have fun. Food portions are good, the service was quick, however attention to quality was lacking. We would have gladly waited an extra 5 minutes for hot food.

    Website has a link to a dinner menu, so we were not aware until we arrived that there was only bar food. Very disappointed. Excellent bourbon, average service, and the music was far too loud to have a conversation. This once was one of our favorite and most frequently visited restaurant. What it's been turned into is very disappointing. Bardstown deserves much better. While there are countless very expensive warehouses on the property, the restaurant has not been given nearly that amount of funding and attention.

    Fabulous atmosphere! Food is always well prepared and unique, definitely not the same old, same old. Bar has plenty to choose from and the staff are very knowledgeable about their product(s). This is one of our favorite places, whether we are bringing friends from out of town or stopping by to sample a new bourbon (as we were for this visit). HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!

    Stopped by after UK graduation to have lunch and a Bourbon Thief tour. The charcuterie board was a very nice size for two to four people also tried the max and cheese and it was great. We dined on the patio and or waitress was very attentive. Overall a great time. Recommend the tour very informative and delicious.

    I love this lunch stop. They are very accommodating and friendly, and the food is so nice. I had a beet and greens salad to start that was fresh and leafy, unlike so much restaurant food. I followed that with a 6-ounce filet, perfectly cooked medium rare. They put a cork in the remains of the Cabernet I ordered so I could take it home.

    Megan was our waitress and she was excellent. She knew the menu well and made excellent suggestions. When we told her that we had a tour to make at 3pm, she made sure with the chef that we could be served in a timely manner. We even had time for dessert and the meal was excellent. Megan made it very special and we were blessed to have her as our waitress.

    From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave it’s a 10 out of 10 Hostess to bartender (Danny) to our incredible server Dorothy we were taken care of. I had 8 Soriety sisters in from the west coast and raved about the freshness of salads to their main meal being one of their top meals they have had. Thank you for making it so memorable for us. I bring all of my company that visit us in KY to your place.
