Paseo

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Paseo. Everything was high quality and great dishes. The fries were thick but a good crispy level. Tomatoes on wood fired toast were delicious. Duck confit was cooked very well. Very tender and moist and skin was cooked very well. Rainbow trout was so good. Very fresh and citrusy. Skin was also on point. Brown butter brownie is phenomenal. Get the scoop of ice cream on top, worth it. Overall enjoyed the experience and will definitely be going back

Paseo completely surprised me—in the best possible way. I’m usually not a big fan of pasta, especially red sauce dishes, but the rigatoni absolutely blew me away. It’s now something I can’t stop thinking about. The Pan Con Tomate, which sounds simple on paper, is truly to die for—the fire-roasted elements take the flavor to another level. Honestly, anything that touches the fire here seems to shine. On top of the amazing food, our server Alejandro was fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Paseo has officially earned a spot on my must-return list. Highly recommend.

Completely unbiased review: Atmosphere was great, drinks were phenomenal, appetizers were stellar, and the hostess was an absolute gem - everything else was extremely disappointing. Our server was decent enough, but took entirely too long to take/put in our order for both apps and mains. The restaurant was nearly empty when we ordered our main course, and it somehow took 45 minutes to procure rigatoni with shrimp and risotto with chicken - one entree came out cold and both were violently over-salted. Would potentially return for drinks, but the apps are solidly overpriced for what you get.

We wandered in by chance and it was such a happy surprise. The space was chic and smelled of a wood burning oven. We sat at the bar where Lila made us an exceptional martini and guided us through the menu. Stracciatella cheese and tomato on toasted bread with pesto. Rigatoni with sausage and vodka sauce. I know it sounds simple but it was delicious. So much better than the “Italian “ restaurants in Louisville. Mike made me the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. And they were so fun. Can’t wait till the weather warms up to sit on the patio.

Eat Thanksgiving dinner here. It was good. I didn't cook, I didn't clean, and then I just left. There were just 4 of us, so it was as good as it could be. There's so many Thanksgiving traditional foods and they had the major ones. Smoked turkey was great. I'd have loved more dessert options though.

Very cozy spot with nice vibes/decor — perfect for a drink and appetizer. The hummus brûlée was fantastic. We sat inside but the outside patio also looked amazing. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best dinner experience, however. We ordered the duck entrée, dayboat fish (halibut) and the kale salad. Pretty overpriced for the quality in our opinion. The duck was not crispy, and when we were asked if we wanted more bread with the hummus, we assumed it was complimentary, but noticed we were charged for it upon receiving the receipt. They have a great wine selection, but the cocktails weren’t great. Overall great spot for drinks and vibes.

Paseo was a gorgeous building with spectacular atmosphere. The menu was diverse and very allergen friendly. The hot hummus brule has forever changed my mom's life. My husband devoured the homemade pasta with lamb raggu. I ordered the seafood paella. It was absolutely gorgeous and the seafood was phenomenal. It was so much food, I have eaten it for leftovers 2 days in a row now. My only complaint is that it wasn't authentic paella, but I realize my expectations for authentic paella in the midwest was a little too high.

Had an incredible dining experience here recently! The food was exceptional and the service, even better. Our server, Jess, and the rest of the front of house crew made us feel very welcome and like old times friends. All of the wine pairings offered to us were divine and really added to the overall experience. Charred greens salad and polenta bowl were our favorites. Perfect date spot, would come back 10/10.

Paseo is on a short list of Louisville restaurants that can hold the attention of six food-centric friends. Three couples comprised of two classically trained chefs, two restaurateurs/craft cocktail bar owners, and two creative directors are all writers, directors, curators, conceptual thinkers, gardeners, and cooks. Our collective expectations for a dining experience are admittedly challenging to meet, given that we regularly make and host memorable meals at home. At a restaurant, we are looking for a creative mastery of techniques and flavors applied to the freshest ingredients with clever cocktails and wines to pair with the food, a space that anchors the experience with a conveyance of the brand, and a fun, engrossed team parading the food to the table all at once at the proper temperature- Paseo has all of it. The crew makes it seem effortless, though we know and appreciate that it isn't. At Paseo, the wood-fired stove brings the familiar yet unexpected addition of campfire smoke to a comfortable, elegant table. The kitchen team knows when an ingredient should be presented as it is and when it should be coaxed along for a maximum complexity of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and umami. Nothing looks or tastes like it was added just to impress. Every accompaniment is selected for its quality of color, texture, flavor, and aroma to tie each dish together like the handcrafted gift it is, made with a sensitive human hand and a keen eye for detail. The six of us made the following selections for the table: * Whipped Labneh Cream Duo * Beef Tartare * Chorizo Octopus * Seafood Paella * Grilled NY Strip * Tandoori Chicken * Scallops * Duck * Grilled Carrots * Wood-Fired Broccoli * Baklava with cherries & lemon-rosemary cream * Soft serve ice cream in a charcoal cone Wines: * Cava Brut Rose * White Rioja * Cotes du Rhone We settled in together at a restaurant-center banquette with the Cava Brut Rose, sharing stories from our day. Then, the discussion began about what to order and how much to order, and there was a conference with Tim Quinlan to pair the wines because Tim knows! The white rioja was poured a few minutes before the labneh, tartare, and octopus starters were set down on our table to set us up for a spotlit dining experience. So much color, texture, richness, flavor, and brightness was everything appetizing. The comforting, interactive labneh presents two creamy renditions, a flatbread and a crudite. The tartare is rich and buttery. The octopus punctuated the course with an exclamation point! It comes from the sea but plates like it's from outer space- hinting at what will follow in the seafood paella. Halfway through the gold and creamy Rioja, the Cotes du Rhone was opened. It deepened my expectations for dinner with the roundness of the tannins. I was seated in the middle of the banquette and got the full view of the procession of our dishes as they came to our table. Presented as a paragon of individual still-life paintings, it was a harmonious exhibition of surf and turf accompanied by seasonal vegetables from the farm. We all took from every plate: paella, steak, chicken, scallops, duck, carrots, broccoli- chewing was an easy pleasure. Every protein was cooked perfectly, and every vegetable was cooked el dente so I could taste the care taken to select it and bring it from the growers. Of all the dishes I have eaten as of June, the seafood paella is the one I would choose if I had to eat only one dish for the rest of the year. The presentation and its waft of smoke gave me pause and a rush of camping memories. The anticipation of the taste was exceeded by the breadth and balance it brought, with deep satisfaction and praise for the ability of the line to pull it off! It is elegant, rich, rustic, and approachable, and the smoked roe is an individual touch granting us permission to eat luxe with agrarian, leveling the value of ingredients to their flavor, not their cost. I could not eat dessert ;-} Thank you to Paseo for directing a dining experience that felt like a live performance where we were both players and members of the audience. It was an improvisation within the confines of your carefully curated menu. I know we lingered too long, but it was a meal we did not want to end.

Pricy but worth it. Paseo gives a great dining experience from the moment you walk in the door until the moment you leave. Service was terrific and so was the bar. And the food. The food. I had the seafood paella and my friend had the lamb burger. We shared the lebnah. Everything tasted fresh and well done. The portions are very generous, and our waitress knew the menu so she made great recommendations. I'll definitely go back to Paseo. It's expensive but worth the splurge. Highly recommend.

I came for dinner with a friend and loved the ambiance. This is a cool spot to go get a drink and chat with friends. The outside area is great for warm days. Our server was great and helped to recommend drinks and food. We got the hummus and ricotta balls for an appetizer. The hummus was good but needed a little more salt. The ricotta balls did not have a lot of flavor. You had to dip in the marinara sauce to get flavor. I got the fish special for my entree. It tasted fine but I felt like something flavor wise was missing.

Spent the weekend at the Myriad Hotel and got to enjoy several delicious bites from the onsite restaurant Paseo. Everything I had was delicious. I ordered the parfait that had orange marmalade, chocolate and pistachios. I first was shocked by the presentation because I was expecting a typical parfait. But the shock wore off as soon as I took my first bite. It was definitely an elevated parfait. All the flavors complimented each other perfectly. It was so good. I could have ate 100 parfaits. I also tried the hummus which was amazing and the ham and cheese croquettes. Everything I had was so good. It's definitely not your typical pool side food.

We had an excellent evening of great food. Great drinks great service wonderful company. What more can someone ask for? Five star exceptional environment and service. I'll take better pics next time go see it for yourself. It's an exceptional space!

Food 3.5/4 stars Service 4.5 stars Ambiance 4.5 stars Pricing $$$$ Tucked down a small alley on Baxter Avenue is this hidden gem of a restaurant. I would have never known it was here, but was pleasantly surprised. We made reservations months in advance since we dined with a group of eight right before the holidays. I wasn't able to make a reservation online but when I called I didn't need a credit card to secure the reservation, which was a plus. The table started with the hummus brûlée, which was creamy and lite and absolutely delicious. Must order if you go. The group ordered a number of different dishes including fish, scallops, chicken and steak. I ordered the wood fired chicken and it was moist and plentiful. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was juicy. The table also ordered the grilled carrots and broccoli, the sides were okay but the entree and hummus was the real show stealer. This is another pricey restaurant but the food was very good and I'd come back for the atmosphere and apps!

Tucked away off Baxter, attached to a little hotel. Reservations are strongly recommend. We arrived on time and choose to sit outside. It's right next to the hotel pool, so if people are out there, it could be a little busy or noisy, but it was fine for us. Service was great from the start - DH has several allergies and they were able to give us a menu marked with what he could eat with no concerns and still lots of options. We started with the beef tartare and squash salad. Both were very nice, reasonable portions (although beef was maybe sightly higher cost for value). Squash was perfectly tender and flavors very well balanced. Next was cacio e pepe for me and lamb burger for DH. The pasta was covered in a lightly grated "funky" cheese that I thought was amazing, but not to everyone's taste. The burger, slightly modified for allergies, was a little overcooked, but still great flavor and the cheese on top gave it a nice juicy mouthfeel. We also liked the freshly chopped herbs on top of the fries. We finished with the lemon bar fit dessert. Again, knocked it out of the park on flavor - not too sweet unless you added the toasted marshmallow under it to your bite and real rose petals. For drinks, they have several NA cocktails and we went with the margarita. Nicely tart and totally reasonable for pricing. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner, one of our favorites so far in Louisville!

I thought our dinner at Paseo would be good, and Paseo more than met the hype. We were so impressed by how delicious, creative and thoughtful the whole experience was. It's been a few weeks since I dined here, and I'm still thinking about it. To start with, the ambience. Paseo is a part of the brand-new Myriad Hotel. I loved walking through the entrance on Baxter Avenue into the courtyard, the pool up ahead in the right, with the restaurant on the left. It feels like you're leaving the hustle and bustle of the Highlands a bit. We were able to easily get a reservation for early in the evening, and our table was ready when we arrived. We started with the hummus brûlée. Warm hummus was a good treat. And our waitress was nice enough to bring us extra bread. We ate every bit! For my entree I got cacio e pepe. Wherever I see this on a menu, I gotta get it. And this was pretty excellent. It was simple and beautifully executed, very filling. Dessert was the star of the show for me. The lemon bar on toasted marshmallow was a showstopper. And their soft serve -- a house specialty -- is the best soft serve I've ever had. The flavors change, and when we were there, they were basil and blackberry. I know, sounds odd, but truuuuuuust me. Get it! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. And a manager checked on a us a few times. I'm so excited to visit again!

Beautiful new spot in the ridiculously cool Myriad Hotel (a former disco ball factory space!) in Louisville's charming Highlands neighborhood. Evoking a sense of Spanish/Mediterranean flair, you enter through a charming little breezeway area, continuing on into the airy restaurant. Love the high ceilings and all the plants. It can be a bit smoky inside due to the wood-fired oven... if that's a problem, just sit outside overlooking the pool! Service is outstanding. The bruleed hummus with onion jam and wedges of Turkish bread was delicious, as was the flavor-bomb harissa cauliflower. Yum. The only knock was the wagyu beef loin, which was undercooked and surprisingly (disappointingly) tough to chew. Everything else was great, though! Don't miss the chance to wrap up your meal with some soft serve.... flavors change frequently.

Drinks--bourbon, wine, beer, cocktails, and lots of NA options for all. The NA gin gimlet and NA Negroni were delicious. Food--not entirely farm to table but a big emphasis on fresh, local, unique ingredients. Paseo teams up with local farmers to provide ingredients that are resident to our area. Allergies--allergy friendly and receptive. Our waitress took a stop ticket to the kitchen and double checked with the chef regarding our allergies before placing the order and it was much appreciated. Atmosphere--contemporary yet cozy with an open kitchen concept so you can watch the chefs in their element. Indoor/outdoor seating so you have an intimate dinner for two or enjoy with a larger group. Reservations-- no reservation, no problem. We went around 6:30 on a Saturday night and there was a wait for indoor seating but the bar is full service and available first come first serve. Def check it out for your next date night!

Let me start by saying that THIS is what Louisvilles food scene needed. I've felt slightly underwhelmed by Lou Food recently UNTIL this. The food here was phenomenal. The environment was posh, calm, yet uplifting. All of the staff members were welcoming and greeted us with smiles! Our server, Carey, was wonderful. Helped us through the whole menu! He had tried just about everything since the restaurant opened and stated there wasn't a bad dish on the menu. After eating here, I would likely agree. GET THE CACIO E PEPE! Sorry to be so aggressive, but for anyone who loves a simple, delicious pasta. It is hands down my new favorite. Not meaning the pasta type either, but from here in particular. The flavors pop unlike any I've had before. The cocktails are elegant and well crafted. Be sure to tip Mikey extra! And whomever is in charge of dessert.... They should get a badge of honor. The lemon bar. Gahhh. I can't finish this review. I've got to go get cacio and lemon bars. Seriously though. Give this spot a shot. You won't regret it.

This amazing new find is BY FAR my new favorite place!!!!! I was so excited that I was encouraged to try it out early in their inception! What once was a disco ball factory is now the HOTTEST spot in the highlands. First of all, the vibe, the decor, the layout, the menu, the staff, is spectacular! Every moment of our experience was a delight. We started with octopus, ricotta balls, and brûléed hummus. THESE are a MUST!!!!! I don't even like hummus and I want to live in this! We tried a few cocktails on the menu and even one that they don't offer - it was fruity and delish. Literally - that's what they call it until they decide to place it on the menu. We decided to share the duck paella. This. Is. Delish. Very easily shared. My only issue was the fact that the duck foot was still attached. I'm sure it is appreciated by some, and didn't affect my opinion of the overall dish - but If it would weird you out, I'm sure they would be willing to remove prior to serving. I literally cannot wait to go back and venture into more dishes. What's even more exciting is the boutique hotel in the works, and the BEAUTIFUL pool area that anyone (hotel guests/outside guests alike) are able to reserve chairs at with food/beverage service. Do yourself and your senses a favor and try out Paseo. From the moment you see it from the curb, it is a vision to behold- very picture worthy throughout!

This is a fantastic place to get drinks or hang out. The ambiance and the set up makes you feel like you are on a big city. Their is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You can tell their was a lot of thought from the owner when designing the restaurant. The employees were nice and everyone greeted us. The food was ok. My favorite was the hummus. I ordered the wood fired chicken and I really enjoyed all of the side but the chicken was unflavorful. The Harris sounce addition added the flavor.

First I have to say how amazing the entrance is! You get to walk through an amazing courtyard that leads you to the restaurant. I absolutely love the decor and the open concept kitchen. Started off with a couple of drinks from the bar that were very yummy. Hubby got the bourbon drink while I went for the more tropical rum drink. For an appetizer we got the crispy ricotta balls. They were a surprisingly light starter sitting in a delicious puttanesca. For dinner the hubby got the halibut, he said it was a little more done than he would have preferred, he said it was good but not sure he would get again. I got the wagyu beef loin and thought it was delicious, I loved the sauce! I would get it again for sure. We also got the squash for the table, it was really good. Hubby said it was the star of the show. They offered dessert, but only had ice cream or lemon bars. We were pretty full and decided to skip dessert this time. Overall it was pretty good, I'd say it's worth checking out. Oh and it appears the menu will be changing along with the seasons so we will definitely be checking it out again!

Greeted and seated for our six top. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. The breezeway entrance was welcoming. Our server, was patient and well informed. We decided to graze on appetizers and entrees sharing them to maximize our mutual experiences. The menu was unique and varied. The steak was of the highest quality cuts, well prepared, beautifully presented with my exact requested temperature. I suggest the carrots as a table side, delicious. Every plate was exceptional. $$$-$ Highly recommended Slainte

I have been thinking about my meal ever since I left! Such a beautiful restaurant and the vibes are immaculate. Can't wait to come back and try more items!

Amazing service, great food. Outdoor seating is a plus! Holly is an amazing server! Would come back again a specially in the summer. Would recommend trying by the lanai for a refreshing cocktail.

Late post for past weeks last minute reservations at the opening night of PASEO in the myriad hotels on Baxter ! Spanish Mediterranean food vibes , specially curated plate ware and cutleries. Beautiful place in the evening sunset. Lotsa greenery in the restaurant. We ordered the food per recommendation from the expert. The duck paella was like melt in ur mouth tender. The creamy polenta with soft boiled egg dip insane... and the hummus brûlée with nuts. I will come back next time for the seafood paella! And the scallops !! The hotel part of it is due to open later in the year but this would be an amazing hang out !

I live nearby so I've been watching for months waiting for this place to open. I stopped by tonight for some drinks and an app. The interior is lovely--very light and modern. My partner and I ordered the eternal shore and Stevie's dream cocktails and the hamachi crudo. The cocktails were good, and I'm not normally a cocktail person. The crudo was very tasty--the "sauce" was a delicate balance of floral and citrus, and the hamachi tasted like it was lightly salt-cured. It was expensive though--$22 for 3 thin pieces of hamachi. NYC prices in Louisville. I'm not opposed to splurging for good food, but the crudo was too pricey for the portion and the location. I'm sure I'll be back, but this won't be a regular dining spot because of the food prices. Other pluses though are that the employees are very friendly, and the drinks are reasonably priced.

Michael made my Derby day an absolute blast! Make sure you stop by to see him at the Myriad Pool bar. The outdoor space is beautiful - has a big city feel in the Lou.

Very nice and very pleasant greeting and wait staff. Everyone trying to make your visit enjoyable. We were seated immediately at a table of our choice. Nice. It was a nicely refined atmosphere but very noisy. Our first cocktail we ordered off their specials but we won't make that mistake again, when I ordered a Black Manhattan it was perfect. Absolutely perfect! We got the Hummus appetizer and it was delicious! Being our first time here the menu was confusing and we ordered things we knew, but after we started seeing what was coming out to other tables we have to come back and try more things. I ordered the lamb burger which was excellent and my wife got the Lamb Ragu Pasta. Both were so good. We finished off the bite with the Cheesecake which was very good. All in all we have to come back for more! And you should too!

Come see Michael at the pool bar! He is the best!! Super friendly & helpful- Great atmosphere, much needed getaway spot

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. Beautiful space with room for large groups or date nights. Friendly staff who gave helpful guidance (everything looked good!). The cocktails were great and they had a solid wine list. And the food was terrific. The hummus brûlée starter was outstanding, as were our entrees (hake with Moroccan spices and seafood paella). Overall and outstanding experience from start to finish-- we'll absolutely be back early and often.

This just is not my vibe at all. The ambiance was good and the service was great. They were really lacking in their vegetarian options. None of the pastas were vegetarian. My waitress said they could alter it and take out the meant, but I wasn't about to pay 23 dollars for a pasta with no protein. I ended up having to just get two sides. Their carrots and their wedges. Both were good, but it was still just not satisfying eating here. The other veg options were just too small looking for the prices.

Overhyped and overpriced. Decent enough. But reminds me of the Mediterranean sister of Sorino in Schnitzelburg. Bring the prices down and work on that Hake sauce (too sweet, no complexity) and you might have something. People will go anyway because it's new and cute. Service was solid. Will give them that. Food needs some work. Hummus was decent, but overly fatty and, again, not enough complexity. They'll work out the kinks in time I'm sure as a middle of the road, decent spot in town.

Had a fun evening at Paseo. Their apps were the highlight of the experience. The toasted hummus was a crowd favorite with really interesting flavor profile. They provided ample fresh pita and crudite. Also enjoyed then crispy ricotta and would highly recommend to share. The Sunday gravy pasta was rich, but portion was a bit lacking and it was lukewarm upon arrival. The Halibut was pretty bland. Overall, it's a really nice date spot with a hip vibe, but really loud inside. The patio looked lovely and a bit quieter. Our server was attentive and had plenty of recommendations for our table.

From the inviting ambiance to the incredible flavors, this hidden gem surpassed all expectations. It was an unforgettable birthday experience. The cocktails, including the espresso martini, Stevie's Dream, and Eternal Shore, were EXACTLY what I needed. Finally some good cocktails in this city. With exceptional service throughout the evening, this is a spot I wouldn't skip.

Good was great. Ready to enjoy ambiance and experience. I was out with friends on the town celebrating a bachelor party with about 10 guys, 9 of whom where from out of state and they all loved the food.

Saw this restaurant on social media and wanted to give it a try. Boy did it not disappoint! The ambiance was cozy and warm feeling the moment you stepped in. The table we were sat at for a party of two was a little small for my liking but I am not a fan of two tops. Food? Woozier, we started off with the hummus (not pictured), being a veggie lover, I added the side of veggies, even my picky husband loved it! Our dinner was running a little behind and the server brought over a squash dish on the house. My dinner was the cauliflower dish which was cooked to perfection, I can still taste it! My husband's steak dish, according to him, was cooked very well and overall he gave it a 10! Definitely added this place to our rotation of must eats.

What an outstanding new addition to the Bardstown Rd/ Baxter Ave scene! We were a table of six and started with eclectic and delicious cocktails then shared the salad (could have eaten buckets of this), octopus, and hummus - everything had great flavors. Pastas, chicken, and beef dishes for dinner with great sharing sides of veg. The seasonings and charrings were perfection. The lemon bar at the end (see pic) made extraordinary out of the ordinary. Fantastic attention by Ashley who gave us confident but casual service and suggested we might have our last round out on the patio overlooking the cool new urban pool - we'll be back. This would be a great place to take out of towners, as well.

The thought of my meal has lingered in my mind ever since I left! This restaurant is truly enchanting, and the vibes are absolutely immaculate. I'm eagerly anticipating my return to explore more of the menu and indulge in the delightful dining experience once again!

I had high hopes for this place and was very disappointed. There did not appear to be much, if any, salt used while cooking. It was bizarre. I paid $30 for a piece of underseasoned cauliflower and that makes me a literal clown. The spot was very beautiful, but the food was surprisingly terrible.

Great new spot. Charming patio, delicious food and creative drinks. Will return for certain!

Good ambiance and the servers are very nice. The food is overpriced for what you get.

Made reservations on open table for a week day night and boy did we need it. The place was bustling with people, and we had to wait 10 or 15 minutes at the bar for a table. The new space has a boho vibe with plants and wooden accents. The show stopper for me was the cauliflower steak. Great for a drink or full dinner

Food quality is good and they take pride in the presentation. Portions are very small however so it makes it pricey. As far as taste goes - it's good but in my opinion not worth the cost

Absolutely delicious! Everything we had was gorgeous and so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Best food I've had in Louisville, ever (the hummus is exceptional). The cocktails are equally special and the service is attentive and unobtrusive, which makes the experience even nicer. So happy this place is here!

Nice ambiance and great service. The food just didn't quite hit the mark for me. The octopus appetizer portion was very small for being almost $20. It was about 4 bites total. I also had the lamb pasta, and while it it tasted of lamb, there weren't many chunks of lamb to be found. It was also kind of sloppily added to the plate...maybe a bowl would have been a nicer presentation? We paid nearly $170 for dinner for 2, which is fine, but with that price comes higher expectations.

We had an amazing dinner tonight at the new restaurant Paseo, which has delicious Mediterranean food, excellent service, and a beautiful indoor/outdoor setting. Especially loved the ricotta ball appetizer, the grilled halibut, and the tart lemon bar dessert. Their home-made soft serve ice cream got a huge thumbs up from my daughter, too !!

We recently ate at Paseo while in town for the Kentucky Derby. This was our first time in Louisville. We were told a few weeks ahead of time that they would be doing a Price Fixed dinner $125 on the Thursday before the Derby. We we ok with that realizing its a big weekend and hard to get reservations. Once we got there we were told that there were no choices on the Price Fixed menu. We are from New Orleans and have always had a few choices on a priced fixed menu. The menu consisted on a salad, which was good, an inch size piece of Octopus, which no of us wanted and when asked if it could be substituted for something else, we were told only if we had a seafood allergy. Two of the four of us tasted it and it was terrible. Next, we were told the main dish was steak which I rarely order at restaurants. The waitress informed us that all the steaks would be cooked medium rare. We have never been told how our steak would be cooked. The steak had so much gristle that my friend had to ask for another knife to cut it. The meal ended with a dessert of cheesecake wrapped in a straw-like covering. We were very disappointed and should have demanded a refund, but we didn't. One of the worst restaurant experiences and it cost us $125/person!!

I've been here several times and every time the food, drinks and service were incredible. The low warm lighting, modern finishes, and comfortable seating make for an inviting atmosphere. The hummus is a must order starter. We enjoyed the homemade pasta entree, scallops entree and half chicken entree, all were delicious. We also ordered one of every dessert and none disappointed.

Unbelievable good.you can tell the chef is top notch .louisville is lucky to have such a fine dining experience. Go and enjoy before he is snatched up by another rest.

Had high hopes for Paseo, but it fell short for us. The ambiance is nice and looks like a fun place to come to during the warmer months. Our group ordered three starters- the hummus, whipped labneh, and ricotta balls. We enjoyed the labneh, but the hummus was bland and the ricotta balls were just average. For dinner, our group ordered the chicken, lamb burger, harissa cauliflower, and halibut. The chicken and lamb burger had potential, but were lukewarm when served. I understand when you have a larger group, some of the items that get made first may not be piping hot, but it was disappointing. The flavor of harissa cauliflower was good, but needed to be cooked a little longer. I didn't try the halibut, but it was mentioned that it tasted great. Lastly, our server was nice, however, we felt a bit rushed to order. Won't be rushing back, but will give it another chance in case this was just an off night.

Had a lovely group dinner here and enjoyed the trendy ambience and indoor/outdoor Mediterranean feel. We enjoyed many of the starters, especially the hummus brûlée and labneh with accompanying crudités. The entrees, while tasty, were a little less flavorful (I had the halibut but will try the paella next time). Overall, service was attentive and drinks and food were timed nicely for our larger table. Can't wait to have drinks and apps on the patio in the future, and look forward to trying again. Would be a nice date night, too.

From the moment I entered, the ambiance set the stage for a remarkable evening. The cocktails, including the espresso martini, Stevie's Dream, and Eternal Shore, went well beyond my expectations. The lamb sausage kabob was succulent and seasoned to perfection, while the labna duo provided a refreshing interlude of textures and tastes. The wood-fired chicken was a culinary masterpiece that celebrated the magic of fire and food. The exceptional service throughout the evening was the perfect extra touch, making this hidden gem an extraordinary culinary haven that leaves taste buds forever grateful.

We were in a large party of about 18 people. 2-3 appetizers had been ordered, and subsequently we had to wait an additional hour for our food to come out until the appetizer plates were removed. They did not ask us how we would like the food to be timed and as a result we were here from 7-9:45 without receiving our food until 9:00. When the food did come, the burgers that were ordered medium came with a cold completely raw center. The half chicken that normally comes as a whole half a chicken was cut into two smaller pieces removing like 30% of the meat that would've come with a half chicken. I was really disappointed, especially with the food and I know the majority of our party also was.

Neat place, one of the few truly new and hot places here in Louisville. Excellent decor and indoor and outdoor spaces.

Cocktails are good. Crisp ricotta and tomatoes were decent but nothing too special. The octopus and hamachi portions are incredibly small. Service and ambiance was pretty nice. Burger, seafood paella, and Sunday gravy were all worth trying but the cacio e Pepe was the most bland cacio e Pepe I've ever had. Literally just tasted like wet noodles.

What a WONDERFUL spot! Incredible quality food. An interesting menu that is very thoughtfully curated. Fantastic cocktails. And our server Ashley was so attentive and anticipated anything we needed beautifully. Will definitely be back and will bring friends!

Absolutely THE best restaurant in Louisville. Ashley our waitress was knowledgeable, kind, and fun. The ambiance is cool, the food was delicious, and the drink selection was great. 100% a must try in this city!!!
