    We recently dined at Repeal, and it was an exceptional experience as always. We started with the French onion soup and lobster bisque, both rich and flavorful, complemented by freshly baked bread. The highlight was the 14-ounce NY strip, cooked to perfection, paired with delightful mashed potatoes and creamy macaroni and cheese. We finished our meal with the heavenly bourbon bread pudding. Our server, Ibrahim, provided excellent service—polite, attentive, and efficient. I highly recommend Repeal for its fantastic food and outstanding service!

    From the greeting in the lobby to the final farewell from the wait staff, the experience was wonderful! Especially being on Thanksgiving, the entire staff seemed delighted to serve us! We were honored to have the chef stop by our table and sincerely ask us for our feedback. Honestly, all our feedback was glowing. I can’t say enough nice things about our experience. This was our first thanksgiving “out” and it was a fantastic introduction to the lower-stress holiday option.

    Michael and Tate were fantastic! They were friendly, attentive and made it a very special date night for us. The bar staff was so great we even came back later in the evening for a drink and to get dessert to go. We had multiple encounters with management as well and they were all so welcoming and helpful. We’ll be back to Jeff Ruby’s when we’re back in Louisville.
