    We’ve been to Grassa Gramma five times in the past couple years and it never disappoints. The ambience is the best in Louisville imo. The food is excellent every time and they are great about working with you on gluten free options. We love this place.

    Mesh is “the” regular lunch spot for a group of friends. Three of us tried the special - butternut squash risotto with blackened shrimp and scallops. Delicious - I would definitely order again - although three others had my favorite - the short rib grilled cheese, which should not be missed at lunch. Jacob was an outstanding server - Very personable, witty and attentive, not to mention patient with a large group of ladies. See you next month!

    Great location. Lots of parking. We had reservations. No waiting. Beautiful, well appointed restaurant. Server, Dominique, was flawless. It was a birthday dinner. Yummy French onion soup. Unique assorted breads served in a basket. The filet and the chicken breast dinners were wonderful. We so appreciated the birthday card, desserts with a candle, and other touches to make the birthday dinner a special event. I recommend the Capitol Grille to make a magical memory.

    This was my second time here and it was just as great of an experience as the first time. We celebrated a friend's birthday, the meatball starter and the short rib pot roast I had for dinner was AMAZING! I will definitely continue to return. Accessibility note: There is VERY low lighting so someone with low vision would not be able to eat here unless someone else read them the menu and assisted them to their seat, etc.
