Best Steak Restaurants in South Louisville

Volare is always a wonderful experience. Everything on the menu is delicious. I know it’s an Italian restaurant, but I think they have the best ribeye in town. Seriously! Try it! Parking can be tough but they do have valet parking if you don’t feel figuring that out. It’s a small tight neighborhood with a lot of cars. Don’t let the parking stop you. You will love it!

A friend and I went to Varanese for his 25th birthday. OpenTable had an option to specify if the reservations were for a special occasion and I said yes, for a birthday. We got to the front desk and they brought it up almost immediately, which really surprised my friend, and they seated us at a table with a little "happy birthday" sign on it. The live jazz band even played a snippet of the birthday song and have him a complimentary birthday dessert with a little candle on it. He loved it! Our waitress was great, and we didn't want for anything. The owner of the restaurant was milling around, checking on patrons and just being an overall lovely host. All of the food was delicious. This was pretty much the best American-style cuisine restaurant I have ever been to. It was all very classy, flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Nothing was overdone or undercooked. It got a little loud on a Friday night at 7pm, but honestly, that's just Frankfort Ave for you on a Friday night lol! It didn't bother me enough to affect my rating though. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially for special occasions — they really do go all out.

We went to Bob’s for our twentieth anniversary and it was fabulous. We both ordered the filet mignon because the other steak options were ginormous. The service was great, the food was really good, and the overall vibe was celebratory. Since we were staying at the hotel where Bob’s is located, this was an easy way to mark a special occasion.

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.

Food was amazing and the portions were huge! I highly recommend this place and I am not a huge lover of steak. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts for my dinner. I had a taste of my husbands steak, which was so good that I would consider getting steak there.
