I had North of Bourbon on my " MUST Visit List" ever since I saw them on the local news. It was worth the drive all of the way from Elizabethtown! Now, I am planning which of my friends I like enough to bring them to this gastronomic delight! First off, its intimate setting is on my list of favorite decors due to the giant bourbon barrel booths that line the right hand side. I was fortunate enough to be seated in one with my service dog (This is another benefit of coming here; they had no qualms about allowing my service dog in with me.). Next, I was beguiled by the tantalizing choices on the menu. New Orleans Cajun/ Creole food is the top of my favorite culinary styles, and the chef does it RIGHT in this establishment! I was here for lunch and some cocktails before my appointment at the Louisville VA hospital, so I ordered the catfish nuggets with a side of creamed spinach. Oh! What a treat! I felt I was back in the French Quarter and near Bourbon Street as the succulent fish melted in my mouth and the mild pepper sauce added just the right touch, along with the sparse roasted cabbage that was served on it with the pepper sauce/ glaze. The creamed spinach also did not disappoint.Along with this, I ordered the "What's Mr. Peanuts First Name" cocktail, which is Maker's Mark, peanut orgeat, and Coca Cola Classic. This was served with a shot glass full of peanuts, and before my entrée arrived, I was served a small, complimentary bowl of boiled peanuts which sent me into an unexpected reverie. I never ask for regular peanuts, but boiled peanuts at North of Bourbon are a legume delicacy! I asked later, and I found that if I wanted more than the complimentary serving, it would cost $5. That would be 5 bucks well spent. I finished it all off with an ounce or 2 of Maker's Mark K.O.B.B.E. Private Selection. I am a Maker's Mark Ambassador, and this did not disappoint!As I wrote earlier, I am already planning a return trip for destination dining and Bourbon sipping. DO NOT MISS AN EXPERIENCE HERE!

Lovely dinner at NoB. The crab dressing is a dish we will dream about. Loved the yakimein as well. Tried a few ryes I hadn’t heard of before and they even made an awesome dirty martini for my wife who was burned out on brown spirits.

Everything about this meal was top notch, especially the service. Our sitter showed up really late and they were so accommodating and gracious about getting us in for the meal still. The owners were beyond friendly and sweet especially given how late we were.The meal itself was unbelievable from the cocktails to boiled peanut appetizer to oysters and eventually gumbo. Don’t miss the pork boudin and gumbo.Cannot wait to be back for some more of the best food in town!

Food was great! Oysters were fresh and the entrees were awesome. It was VERY loud in the restaurant, we could barely hear eachother let alone our waitress. But other than that, such a great date night spot and we can't wait to go back!

Fun place with lively vibe. Very loud! Wonderful cocktails and very helpful wait staff. Unusual takes on some items (wedge salad, for example) ... But quite good. Loved the Mac n cheese and cornbread.

This is an outstanding restaurant!! The food was superb--catfish, gumbo both excellent. Inspired and solid but with different taste touches. Ambiance is really lovely and the staff knowledgable and absolutely accommodating. Absolutely recommend!!

Delicious food! We had the fondue, pot roast, gumbo, and shrimp yakamein. All were excellent. Service was outstanding. Noise level was quite high, but we were seated in one of the barrel booths, so could easily converse.
