    Our second visit to Repeal, but first time in the dining room. Our server, Andre, was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining the menu offerings to us. The house bread was amazing as always. The buccatini was even better the second time around. Ordered it as a side to our Filet’s. Everything was excellent and we will return!

    Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. Everything we had was incredible. Loved that they offered smaller portions on the menu and a full variety of dishes. Seafood. Pork. Beef. Vegetarian. Service was a great, a little slow but it was a VERY busy night. Loved seeing the team effort with food being brought immediately to the tables (vs waiting on the server to bring it) and staff running drinks to tables outside their section. Will return. 5/5 stars.

    What a menu! Make sure to start with the amuse bouche, the mini arancini was perfect. The mushrooms appetizer is unlike any I've had; warm, cold, crispy, umami, tangy, creamy. The trout was warm and briney but offset by a beautiful char on the skin. Fantastic dining experience, exceptional vibes. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Lousiville.

    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.
