    I am traveling to Louisville for work and this restaurant came highly recommended from the local people we were working with. Our waiter Chris was fantastic and entertaining. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. The only critique I would have is the live music was a very nice touch, but the volume should’ve been lower because it was very difficult to hear the people at my table have a conversation. Aside from that I would definitely be back to this restaurant if I am in town again.

    The music was way too loud. No one at our table of 6 could hear what anyone else at our table was saying. Food and service were great. Beautiful restaurant.

    I recently dined at Steak and Bourbon for my fiancé's birthday with a group of six, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. While the service was attentive and friendly, the food did not live up to the high expectations set by the prices. Most of our sides, including the baked potatoes, were served cold, which was quite disappointing. Additionally, our steaks were overcooked. One member of our party asked for a medium-rare steak, but it came out well done. Although they promptly made her another steak, it was still frustrating. For the price we paid, I expected a much better quality meal. I've had better seasoned and cooked ribeyes at Texas Roadhouse. Overall, I’m not sure if I can recommend Steak and Bourbon based on this experience. Maybe I’ll try another day mother cook.

    Our dinner at Steak & Bourbon in downtown Louisville was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Spencer, our waiter, took amazing care of us, ensuring a flawless dining experience. The cocktails were expertly crafted and delicious, setting the perfect tone for the evening. One of the standout highlights was the homemade bread served with tallow butter—rich, flavorful, and the ideal start to the meal. Of course, the main event—the steaks—were cooked to absolute perfection, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The cream corn was luxuriously rich and creamy, complemented by crisp textures, while the fried potatoes were golden, crispy on the outside, and incredibly satisfying. Their wine menu offered a fantastic selection, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for our meal. To top it all off, we ended with a colossal slice of chocolate cake, which was the perfect way to celebrate our dear friend’s birthday. From the impeccable service to the outstanding food and drink, Steak & Bourbon delivered a truly memorable evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier steakhouse experience in Louisville!

    We came to Steak and Bourbon to celebrate a family member's birthday. The restaurant was very busy and there was live music playing. The noise level is a bit much, especially when you are at a round table - it was somewhat difficult to hear across the table. All the food - appetizers, entrees, etc. were excellent. The brioche bread with tallow/butter was amazing and even our family's vegetarian loved her dish of tomatoes and burrata. For such an upscale restaurant, I was a bit surprised that they asked for ID when we ordered drinks (both my husband and I are gray haired), but they ended up serving us even though I didn't have my drivers license. The food is expensive but everything was cooked well and the flavors & seasonings were very good. My son's steak was a bit late coming out of the kitchen b/c it had been overcooked and they redid it. I would say our only food critique was for my husband's burger. It was huge (two pattys) when one well cooked patty would have been perfect.

    Alex was an amazing server. She shared her love of the food and cocktails-I always appreciate recommendations and she didn’t hesitate to provide them. The food was incredible. I’ve never had a steak that delicious. We made an excellent decision about where to celebrate a great day.
