    Enjoyed our romantic New Year’s Eve dinner at Le Relais. The Lobster Bisque special was outstanding. Long one of the best restaurants in Louisville, Le Relais just keeps getting better! We’ll be back often in 2025!

    LeRelais is absolutely delightful. We recently returned from France where my girlfriend had roasted duck for dinner in a small village we stayed at. She said it was perfect & will most likely not be able to find such a perfectly cooked dish here in the states. Last night at LeRelais she did. I’m more vegetarian so I had the vegetarian linguini. It was perfectly seasoned. Noise level is high & activity of the staff is busy but the service is very good.

    Got the steak frites. Steak was overly charred. Overwhelming burnt flavor. Green beans totally unseasoned. Pommes frites were fine. There are better restaurants. Don’t waste your money here.

    I ordered two classic french dishes: Onion Soup and Croque Monsieur. Both were outstanding. I also appreciated the attentive service, even with a full restaurant.
