    What a WOW view from one of the rotating dining rooms! We thoroughly enjoyed splurging for our anniversary dinner at Swizzle. The calamari appetizer was excellent, as was the wedge salad which they kindly split for us. And basket of warm bread - yum! My husband now lists their Tomahawk Pork Chop in his top ten - super tender, perfectly cooked. I had the scallops - also perfectly cooked with the grits, peas, and fried onions accompaniments - wonderful. Considering it was a super busy night at the restaurant, we felt very well taken care of by the wait staff. Also, if you aren't staying at the hotel or Ubering, use the restaurant valet for $10.00. A great deal for parking, and our car was waiting for us at the curb when we were done with dinner.

    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!

    This was TRULY the best experience at a restaurant that our group has ever had. Our waiter, Daniel, was an absolute star. He was fantastic- attentive but not pushy, kind, excellent at his job, and just all around the best. The food was unbelievable. We had a variety of seafood, steak, and drinks and it was ALL incredible. Kudos to the chef on all fronts. You also can’t beat the views of the Ohio River! Gorgeous ambiance- sit on the deck if you can! All around 5 stars!!
