Nice place and location. Had a good table by the window. Wish the track would have been lit up more as we naturally were there to see it as well. Drinks, bread, appetizers, sides and Cappuccinos were terrific. Main entrees were good but not quite on the same level as all else for the price.

From the greeter meeting us at the gate to a Churchill Downs with a cart to take us to the elevators, to the excellent server, it truly was a special dinner out with friends. My 4 star rating was because they were out of Sirloin Steak. For a steakhouse this was unfortunate and my guests were disappointed. Regardless, everything we ordered was well prepared, well presented, and delicious. Recommend going when you can see the track in all its glory - the view is spectacular.

The steaks and seafood were all good, but there was nothing about them that blew us away. However, the sides were scrumptious! Drinks were good and strong. Service here was the absolute best service I got anywhere. Even if the food was a 1/10 I’d still come back for the service alone. I wish I could remember our waiter’s name because he was awesome. We’d definitely come back.

Good selection of bourbons. Wait staff friendly. Steak was Excellent. Sides not so much. Disappointed in loaded baked potato---not much loading. Brussel sprouts were burnt and had to be sent back. However, the filet was very tender and good. Should have gotten it butterflied to get more even cooking but the temp went from medium to well--good thing it was so flavorful and it was all eaten between me and my husband. His bone in ribeye was small but tasty. The shrimp cocktail were huge and were the highlight of the meal. Husband got the oysters--he ordered blue points from east coast but were served the smaller west coast ones which were still good but not what he ordered. Assistant waiter was hands on with water refills and attentive service. Overall nice atmosphere as not too crowded and waiter did not hover in fact he was mia and we had to seek him out a few times for additional drinks and condiments.

My wife and I decided to dine at Matt Winn’s to celebrate her birthday. I have been to your location a few times on business, but this is the first I’ve had the opportunity to share the experience with my wife. She had the pork chop and I had the trout. We decided upon a few sides ( Mac, potato, and glazed carrots). She did not care for the glazed carrots due the sauce, but I thought they were really good. Other than the carrots, we both agreed the pricing, food, atmosphere were top notch. We will definitely be adding Matt Winn’s to our date night list.

We arrived with a friend that is handicapped and we’re told there were not any wheelchairs or golf carts available on Sundays. We were informed after sitting down that the restaurant was entirely out of all filet cuts. Service was sub par. No dessert offerings and part of the appetizer order never arrived. A manager never stopped by the table to explain the lack of service and food

This is not the a place. Where your going to be blown away by how good food. Onion ring ate not good at all. They were over cooked. With how much breading they put on them. They probably have to be to be done. The calamari was good but sauce they served it with was not. Bake potatoe was so small I thought it was a joke. Ribeye was good but over cook. I order med came out med well. The atmosphere is awesome but they need to step the food game up for how much it cost. The white cranberry cosmopolitan was the highlight of the night. Might be a place you just grab some drinks.

I was so excited to return to this restaurant. I left a glowing 5 star review last time. This visit was anything but desirable. Drinks were fabulous as always. The restaurant has a fantastic wine and bourbon menu. Our server was Slade. He was less than friendly. He indicated they had a new chef and boy, I wish the last one would come back. They have changed the menu. They removed the steak tartare, which was my favorite. However, they added some new options. We tried the whipped goat cheese fondue, which I cannot recommend. It had an odd greasy layer that never mixed, and had little flavor. (If you want good goat cheese, go to Porcini's for their app). The wedge salad was pretty good, though it pales in comparison to the ones at Ruth's Chris and Jeff Ruby's. The shrimp cocktail was so so. The shrimp was very large, but the cocktail sauce and horseradish left something to be desired. It's not like St. Elmo's if that's what you're hoping for. Everything went downhill from this point. We ordered a porterhouse and a 10 oz filet, both medium. Both came to us charred and raw in the center. My baked potato was not hot enough to melt the butter. The sweet potato puree (awful by the way), was lukewarm at best. We asked for both to be reheated. By the time our steaks were returned to us, all the other sides were ordered were ice cold. (Carrots, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts). We both ate a few bites of our steaks. They just weren't good. There was a major lapse of time between apps and the 1st steaks, so by the 2nd serving of the same steaks, we were kinda over it. The manager never came by to address the matter. We didn't request one, but it seems to me that when a customer has just paid a six hundred and fifty dollar bill including two hundred dollars worth of inedible steaks, you might stop by to see if you can make things right. Based on this visit, I am cancelling my upcoming reservation for a birthday party. We won't be back.

We had an awesome dinner, with a view of the Churchill Downs track. The steak was perfect, and I do mean perfect. My wife’s chicken dish was nothing short of epic. Our wait staff was right on the spot for anything we needed. I don’t think my water glass ever got more than half empty. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

We dined at Matt Winns for a friend’s birthday. The food and drinks were delicious. More importantly, perhaps, our server Meg was absolutely incredible!! Highly recommend Matt Winns. And please ask for Meg as your server! You will not be disappointed.
