Byrdie's

My wife and I went to Byrdie’s for Valentine’s Day, and it was absolutely worth it. From start to finish, everything about our experience was incredible. First, a heads-up, you’ll want to make a reservation, and it’s a good idea to get there a little early to find parking. Once inside, the atmosphere was great, and the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, making the night feel even more special. The food? Incredible. I got the scallops, steak frites, and a chocolate dessert (the name escapes me), and I can confidently say it was the best steak I’ve ever had. My wife had the house salad, steak frites, and a dessert that I also can’t remember the name of but she loved it. We don’t go to places this nice very often, but we wanted to do something special for Valentine’s, and Byrdie’s did not disappoint. If you’re looking for a great dining experience, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back.

Byrdie’s is a standout addition to Louisville’s food scene. The staff’s hospitality stood out, creating a warm yet polished experience. The food here added depth to the city’s dining landscape. Each dish felt deliberate, with flavors that were precise and well-balanced, paired with thoughtful presentation. Byrdie’s brings a level of refinement that elevates French cuisine in Louisville, making it a must-try. Highlights of the night included their foie gras torchon, which was decadently smooth with pear, and the short rib pitivier, paired with beets, and wrapped in warm, flaky pastry. I’m already looking forward to returning and exploring more of their menu!

We went to Byrdie’s for their prix fixe dinner on Valentine’s Day and it was amazing! The service was incredible and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

We love French Restaurants but this was a big letdown. Onion soup is my favorite and the menu stated it had some sort of ‘burnt flavor’ which I like. But it was awful. Burned badly is more like it. I only had half before I gave up. The escargot was good but the bread used was corn based and not suitable for finishing the garlic butter that comes with Escargot. Big letdown. The Pitivier was way too salty and really barely edible. The atmosphere was good and the service was acceptable.

Quite disappointed in this. I was so excited for a new restaurant in Louisville - and in such an awesome spot. I was really let down, for many reasons. The food was nothing special at all. The atmosphere was so strange. It’s such a cute spot but they have no art on the walls, and it’s painted a bland tan color? I know this seems minor but it really threw off the entire vibe. The service was pretty good, our server was very nice. The drinks were good. I hope they can fix some things because this has a lot of potential!

Incredible food! I’m still thinking about the Lyonnaise salad the next day. Fresh take on classic French food and sure to be a new Louisville staple!

Great addition to the city, I've been longing for a legit French spot in the downtown/NULU area with classics like steak frites, roast chicken, snails and a proper Lyonnaise, and here it is.

A stand-out in the Louisville food scene. Absolutely elite. One of the best restaurants in the city.
