Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Downtown Louisville

We booked an igloo for 11 people. It was nice in that we had a private space for our family get together but I was expecting the kind that we could see through. Even though we were on the rooftop with a lovely city view, you could not see out from the igloo so was kind of pointless. And door to igloo could only be latched from the outside so you couldn't leave to use the bathroom because then you couldn't latch the door once you returned. And it was too cold to leave the door open and they had one pitiful space heater. However we did enjoy our food and drinks. Server was initially overwhelmed but then food and drinks started coming steadily. We enjoyed all of the appetizers (meatballs, potato wedges, shrimp and artichoke dip). Entree salads were also good. Family had burger sliders and they were tasty. Note: pizzas are quite large. They are definitely shareable. We'll come back in warmer weather to enjoy the rooftop but wouldn't recommend the igloos unless it's a particularly warm night.

Everything was great. Just the overall feel of the place between the building and decor is warm and inviting. As for our food, our table ordered the steak frites, the short rib pasta and the Voodoo Pasta. I happily tasted both of the pastas and they were delicious as was my steak/fries. We also had the wedge and local garden salad. Fresh abd great. For cocktails, we had a margarita and the Salt of the Earth. Both were great I would order any of these again. Service was fast and friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.

Excellent spot for a date night. We truly enjoyed our meal and service was great. The food was delicious and fresh. We loved the open kitchen layout and the music for the evening was delightful.

A very nice dinner at swizzle. We actually had reservations at another restaurant that unexpectedly closed that evening. Swizzle was able to accommodate our group of 6. Everyone had a nice meal
