    The service was over the top! We had the barrel cut filet cooked medium rare with the bourbon peppercorn sauce with a lobster tail add on and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. We also had the lobster Mac & Cheese which was over the top! We finished off the meal with the bread pudding and it was the best EVER! Totally recommend Repeal if you’re in Louisville.

    Absolutely the best ining experience. Our shrimp appetizer was undercooked, but the waitress handled it easily and quickly. The shrimp deJohne was perfect. Cindy the bartender was fun and truly enhanced our dinner. The bread. Oh. Lord. The bread. The bread and a room. So fabulous. Our bread pudding dessert was as good or better than want we have had in New Orleans. Highly recommend!!

    Our server was super sweet and attentive! And the gentlemen who brought out the sparkler for my husbands birthday was very thoughtful of our toddler being scared of the sparks. Overall, great experience.

    Fantastic and creative food that was well done. Often times having QR ordering system means colder / disconnected service but this place does it right. The staff made their rounds and connected well with the customers. Delicious drinks as well. Thanks for a great experience
