    We enjoyed dinner with four other couples. We all loved our cocktails and the food was delicious. We ordered the whipped feta, brussels sprouts, and arancini for appetizers. We all agreed we could eat that for our meals and be happy. Delicious. Our main dishes were all just as amazing. My husband and I both ordered the short ribs and loved them. Can’t wait to go back.

    Truly a gem in the Highlands! Always great menu by Chef Dallas McGarity. We went to the 6 course “My Kentucky Home” dinner with guest Chefs. The most amazing foods, flavors and pairings!! Chefs Christian Hunter and Lawrence Weeks together with Chef McGarity hit it out of the park. I cannot say enough to explain the happiness and satisfaction of a food experience like that!

    Another successful guest chef dinner in a communal pleasant setting. The guest chefs were excellent choices. Nicely accentuating Chef McGarrity's contributions. Em's cocktails were well paired and the service was what we know as the standard at the Fat Lamb. There are lots of great culinary options in Louisville, this is my favorite!

    Wonderful birthday dinner! Craft cocktails are unique and tasty. The whipped feta was an amazing starter. We had the gnocchi, lamp chops and short ribs and all were fabulous.
