    Everything was perfect! The hostess seated us inside with a view of the river as requested. Our waiter was courteous and so informative! The food was unique —the crispy fried avocado filled with seafood salad was a delight and the fried po’ boy sandwich was exactly as one you could get in New Orleans! We were so pleased with our experience, we will be returning soon.

    Le Moo is hand’s down in the top three of our favorite places to eat in Louisville! That speaks volumes considering the amount of high quality eateries we have in the city. Service is top notch - you can always count on a warm welcome and a complimentary champagne toast as you wait for your table. The ambience is what I would describe as “rustic luxury.” The food is incredible - the steaks are of the finest quality and always cooked to perfection. I splurge on the tomahawk ribeye! There are also a variety of of great sides like collard greens and their sliced loaded baked potato. Their cocktail menu is impressive. I love their smoked old fashioned. For a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, you’ll have trouble finding a better place to take your loved one than Le Moo.
