    We celebrated our anniversary and every person we encountered from the door man to the server wished us a happy anniversary! It really felt like they went the extra mile to make us feel celebrated. The music was great, not too loud. And you can’t beat the uniqueness of this speak easy. Will be returning!

    If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, MRBL in Bellevue, KY is the place to be! From the moment we walked in, the view took our breath away — absolutely stunning. The service was top-notch, and our server was attentive without being overbearing. We started with the crispy rice appetizer, and let me tell you, it’s *to die for*. We couldn’t stop talking about it the entire meal! For the main course, we ordered the potato volcano and the Tomahawk steak — a perfect pairing! The steak was cooked to perfection, and the potato volcano was a fun and delicious twist. (Everything about our meal at MRBL was fantastic, but I do want to mention the brussel sprout side dish. Unfortunately, it was a bit burnt, and I just didn’t care for it.) I shared the meal with my friend Liz for her 35th birthday, and the restaurant went above and beyond by sending over a complimentary banana pudding dessert to help us celebrate. Such a sweet touch! The highlight of the evening, though, was the host, Buck. He was hilarious, outgoing, and really made our night memorable by coming over several times to chat with us. His energy was infectious, and he made us feel like VIPs. The ambiance was the perfect mix of moody and sexy, setting the ideal mood for a special night out. Overall, MRBL is a gem, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommend!
