Bistro 301 is a semi-upscale restaurant that is located in a historic area of downtown Louisville. It is situated just one block away from the Actors Theatre of Louisville, across the street from the KICC and just a short walk away from the majority of major hotels in the heart of the city.

Wherever possible, the produce, meat and dairy used in the kitchen at Bistro 301 are locally grown and purchased.

    The restaurant was closed. We showed up at 550 to find no lights on and the doors lcoked. This is after opentable asked us the day prior if we were going to make our reservation. There was a concert and couldn't find dining anywhere.

    The restaurant closed with no notice to us. We were left without a dinner reservation in Kentucky Derby night.

    CLOSED!!!! Showed up for our reservation - which we were asked to confirm! - the weekend of the Derby and the restaurant was closed. How frustrating. Had to scramble last minute to find a table for 6 that evening on the spot. Not sure how I was able to make this reservation and was not alerted that the restaurant no longer exists.

    I'm very curious to learn how Open Table is notified that a restaurant has closed. Clearly this place had been closed for at least 3 weeks. Every review of the place indicates that it was closed. How many times can I use the word "closed" in a review, because they were closed, in other words not open for business at all

    The restaurant was out of business. Open Table should be sure the restaurants on their site are in business

    It was a very busy night, night of the Kenny Chesney concert so it was crowded but it took forever to get drinks and our food. When my dinner arrived my fish was burnt and the fries were cold. May try again on a less crowded day but not impressed so far.

    I won't return. Had reservations and no one was at hostess desk. Found out she called off sick. Some guy walked up asked if I had reservations said yes and he said he would be right back. He never came back. Waitress came and sat me at a table and complained two people called off and they were short staffed. Third guy came and literally told me that they were at full capacity and that I wouldn't get my food before an hour in order to make the concert. Also stated they had calls offs. Ordered a drink right away and was told the beer wasn't cold. Brought a taste of the beer and it was actually flat. Tried to say it just wasn't cold....actually I know the difference between temperature and taste. Left without getting any food or service. Will not go back and will let all my friends know to not go there.
