Guidebook for Louisville
Food Scene
We eat here fairly often. There is a lovely covered patio, the menu is upscale bar food for the most part, but satisfies everyone in the family. Killer chicken and waffles, mac-n-cheese, fried pickles, etc. We usually walk so we walk off the food coma on the way home. They have brunch on the weekends that are really good.

This is a lovely restaraunt. Nice ambience, delicious food. They do occasionally have music (typically a stringed trio or something elegant and not too loud.)

"Fresh Mexican Breakfast and Lunch". This is hands down my favorite breakfast/brunch in town. If you like delicous Mexican, this is where you want to eat. A few tables on the sidewalk outside. The place is fairly small, but oh so good.
