Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Louisville

Enjoyed the Chef’s Experience at El Five. The food and drinks were incredibly tasty. Our chef’s,Nick and Matt, made the evening really fun sharing surprise bites between our courses. And to top it off, the view is spectacular.

Came here the day before my birthday and forgot it was my birthday, but the dinner and conversation was so good that it was a great birthday time anyway! Had almost everything on the happy hour menu - highly recommend!!!

What a gem! From the ambience to delicious food to friendly and attentive staff, I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. You will not be disappointed!!

We enjoyed our meal at Gemini. We liked the tapas better than the entrees and recommend the patatas bravas, bacon wrapped dates, baked goat cheese, and croquettes de chorizo. Drinks were good, too, and our serves was lovely. We would come here again.

Rioja has become my preferred spot for Valentine's Day dinner with my girlfriend. The food is par excellence, authentic and always allows for some combination on the plate to make a perfect bite. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. My only real gripe was that it can get rather noisy during peak hours, but I'm not certain there's much anyone can do about that. Overall, the staff does it's utmost to make Rioja one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.
