    Jack Fry's is my favorite restaurant in Louisville. The food is always great and meets the needs for everyone. Some people may think it is too expensive but what I usually do is order two appetizers such as a brie salad (has been my favorite for the past 20 year) and shrimp and grits. The steaks are great.

    So good we came back and this time they had guacamole back in stock! The food is great if you want a reasonable portion, enough to share or want to go into a food coma. Best mole I’ve ever had, sweet enough to make the bitter notes more floral and savory, while spicy enough to bring the flavors together with quick but manageable heat. The ambience is not as busy and overwhelming to the senses like some restaurants but fun enough to enjoy table talk and very attentive service staff. Definitely one of few good restaurants for anyone in the Highlands.

    We were seated immediately for our 7:15 Valentine's Day reservation. The service was excellent despite the place being packed, and the food was delicious, as usual. The staff is always friendly and seem like they are happy to be there. Our dinner was a great value for the quality of the overall experience. We spend only slightly more to dine at very mediocre places in this town. This is my favorite restaurant in the city. The bar manager is excellent and whether you hang at the bar or choose to be seated at a table, the service is always spot-on, without being stuffy. The wine selection was nice as there were some good quality wines for no more than you would pay at any middle of the road establishment. The brussell sprouts app was tasty, as was the encrusted goat cheese salad. I forgot to ask if the squash blossom app is off the menu permanently, but I am assuming it is seasonal. I sure hope so, because it fantastic. I had the pasta dish with chicken (amazing), my wife had Salmon which is always perfection. She doesn't eat red meat or pork, so it is nice that she can always find a tasty choice here. We were stuffed so no room for desert.
