    It’s a great sign when you pull into the parking lot of Morning Fork at 11:50am on a Sunday and there are NO spots to be had. Any doubts I may have had about trying this restaurant while visiting Louisville were immediately erased, even though that meant driving around an unfamiliar neighborhood without the benefit of coffee. I had the avocado toast, per our server’s recommendation, and my husband had the skillet. Both were delicious, and we intend to visit again the next time we’re in town. I also really enjoyed the African coffee. When in doubt, make reservations, especially if it is too inclement to sit outside. As we were leaving the hostess was on the phone explaining that all they had available was bar seating and that was first come, first serve.

    Anna is a top notch bartender and good person. Very knowledgeable and personable, truly cares about her customers and has great recommendations. Food was ok, not great but ok. Hummus was excellent. Very nice for a hotel bar and atmosphere was enjoyable as well.

    Our second visit to Repeal, but first time in the dining room. Our server, Andre, was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining the menu offerings to us. The house bread was amazing as always. The buccatini was even better the second time around. Ordered it as a side to our Filet’s. Everything was excellent and we will return!

    What a menu! Make sure to start with the amuse bouche, the mini arancini was perfect. The mushrooms appetizer is unlike any I've had; warm, cold, crispy, umami, tangy, creamy. The trout was warm and briney but offset by a beautiful char on the skin. Fantastic dining experience, exceptional vibes. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Lousiville.

    Overall, we were very happy with everything at Le Moo. The only thing I would not write this experience as a five out of five is the speed of getting our food. It took quite a while to get our appetizer and soup. And within about two minutes of receiving those items, our entrées arrived. I don’t mind if we are still finishing up our appetizer when we get our entrée, but at this point, we had barely begun. And to be honest, the table really just wasn’t big enough for all of our items at once. Otherwise everything was superb. And even though it took a little bit to get our appetizer and soup, our server was very good. I could tell she was very busy. Also, because they are celebrating their 10th birthday, you get a toast of champagne when they walk you to your table. That was an awesome touch. Thank you so much for that. We will be back for sure!
