The service was over the top! We had the barrel cut filet cooked medium rare with the bourbon peppercorn sauce with a lobster tail add on and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. We also had the lobster Mac & Cheese which was over the top! We finished off the meal with the bread pudding and it was the best EVER! Totally recommend Repeal if you’re in Louisville.

We love New Orleans and love to eat when in New Orleans. You all did not disappoint! Great food and great staff! From the time we walked in the door- everyone was kind, friendly and helpful! We arrived early- while waiting to be seated Joe and the live music were perfect! Thank you Joe for the peanut butter and jelly drink- we were pleasantly surprised with the drink special and the entertainment that came with it. Excellent night out and experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As usual, our family meal at The Fat Lamb was delicious. The special butternut squash and sausage with béchamel was rich and tasty, and two members of our party loved the burger and truffle fries. Such a winning combination, the house cocktail is one of my favorite drinks in town. We passed on dessert, having started with the satisfying feta dip.
