    Service was outstanding as always. Our primary server seemed like she was maybe a little new but did a good job keeping up with everything. Pace of meal was solid, only one period of a little too long of a wait between courses. The food was all very good, but not quite as good as previous visits had been. In each course there was a clear winner, and one that was just ok. I don't think there was a single course where both options were equally outstanding, though in each course at least one was. Still one of the top tables in town but at least this iteration of the menu was not up to the standard 610 has set for itself. The wines pairs were all good, again none were excellent, but all went well with the meal served.

    My party of 3 really really wanted to like this place. We are of Korean American descent, and have been following the show where Edward Lee is featured. We came to Louisville from California and New York for Bourbon Trail, and 610 Magnolia was supposed be the capstone dining moment. So needless to say how disappointed we were with the tasting menu that tasted sub par at best. I had to send back one of the seafood dishes, the striped bass because of the musty smell and off taste that screamed the fish was not very fresh or the sauce went bad. The meat dish which was Iberico pork was nothing special but a few pieces of tonkatsu. So after being out of pocket for ~$700 for 3 people, we were sorely disappointed, and almost sad. Perhaps Chef Lee needs spend more time at his flagship restaurant, or rethink his menu.

    The tasting menu was perfect. Each plate was delicious and the exact right portion and we left fully satisfied. It was the best food I had during my stay in Louisville. The meal was a chance for me and a friend to reconnect so the ambiance was also perfect. We could hear each other and chat. Thanks for a great experience!

    610 Magnolia was an absolute amazing experience. Was in town for graduation and wanted to try a recent James Beard location. They did not disappoint. Perfect, upscale but casual date night

    One of the best meals my boyfriend and I ever had in our entire lives. Everything was just perfect. Everything was so good, I even liked dishes that had ingredients in there that I usually don’t care for. So delicious!
