   Upon arrival we had a friend cancel on us. There was an elderly couple who had just by chance walked in hoping to get a table for dinner. I overheard the conversation and I immediately wanted to give them my reserved table as my other friend expressed interest in us sitting at the bar. The Host was surprised by my gesture as were the couple. They rushed them to their table and we took our seats at the bar. We ordered our drinks which came up promptly and then we ordered our food. A little later we were informed that they had lost internet and that there will be slight delay in our food as they had to manually submit their tickets. Luckily for us, we weren't on a time crunch and ordered a second martini. Our Calamari arrived shortly afterwards and was cooked to crispy perfection. Then our entrées came out and as expected it was all DELICIOUS! Perfecly cooked Filet, Tuna Crudo, Broccolini & The Lobster Mac & Cheese. Not only was the service great but our Bartender was a joy to interact with. She displayed a great wealth of knowledge & professionalism yet was very sociable when discussing a couple of topics. Overall, this was a great night!

   The calamari had bits of metal bristle from the basket it was cooked in. iThe filet was overcooked to the point of being inedible. It was the worst dining experience I've ever had.

   Kim, I am so very sorry for the experience you had last night, that is not at all the standard we hold ourselves to. I sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive us for not delivering the experience we should. -Sincerely Charlie Cronin General Manager

   The location and vibe of Monk’s is top tier; however, the food is subpar. My husband and I ordered filets that were tough, mac and cheese that had no flavor, cavatelli pasta that was overdone and asparagus. The ambiance was dark and moody and perfect for a bourbon-themed bar/restaurant, but to get me to come back, the food needs to improve.

   Hi Lisa, I'm terribly sorry to hear that our food missed the mark during your visit. I appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention so that we may continue to improve by tasting and sampling every dish before it goes to a guest. I hope you will come back and give us another opportunity in the future. Sincerely, Charlie Cronin General Manager

   This was my 4th time to Monk Road and it was once again top notch. Without a doubt, the best restaurant in Louisville. Beautiful decor, great atmosphere and outstanding food.

   What a phenomenal meal! This was our 2nd trip, and it was just as amazing as the first meal! Aly is the best server, and Chef Ciro is on a roll with his attention to detail and flavors. Loved the oysters, hanger steak, risotto and pork! We will be back soon.

    Portions were very small There was no bread offered The “ shareable “ sides very small for the price. But food was very good.

    Hi Robin, I'm sorry your experience was not what we strive for and that somehow we forgot your bread service. I hope you will give us another opportunity in the future. Charlie Cronin General Manager
