Best Casual Restaurants in East Market St - NuLu

Great food! Great service! We will be back the next time we are here.

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.

Everything on the menu we tried was phenomenal. The drink menu was not overwhelming like some other venues nearby, and we tried several of the options. The food was outstanding. Our waitress gave us the option of having salad with dinner and it added flavor and texture to the experience. The deviled eggs and the American Wagyu were our favorite items of the evening. The wine we ordered took a little longer to be delivered than expected, but they comped us dessert. The Apple Tartine was the perfect.

We absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was charming, and our waiter, Parker, was not only sweet but also incredibly knowledgeable. We started with Old Fashioneds featuring Habanero Bitters—a creative and delightful twist on a classic cocktail. For appetizers, the Crawfish Bayou Dip was absolutely delicious. The seasonal salad was light, crisp, and the perfect prelude to our entrees. From the Bayou menu, we tried the Jambalaya and the Etouffée, both of which were bursting with flavor and exceeded our expectations. Everything was impeccable, and we can’t wait to return the next time we’re in Louisville!

It was our second time to Kaelin’s tonight and the food was just as good as the first time! This is going to become one of our staple restaurants!
