One of our favorite spots in Louisville! It’s very casual, but the food is sophisticated. The staff is very knowledgeable, and attentive. They have a nice range of gluten free options marked on the menu. Love the dates, lamb, crab cakes and desserts!

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.
