Swizzle Dinner & Drinks

First time in Louisville and first time eating at the Swizzle. What a way to be introduced to Louisville! This place was amazing. The views are incredible as the room rotates, but the food was exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the hostess greeting us was an absolute pleasure. She takes her job with pride. The food was unbelievably good. The starting rolls are to die for, and you have to get the grilled pork chop (only if you're hungry); it is huge. My wife had the sea bass, which was also so good. And if you have room, of course, you have to try dessert, and the chocolate cake is a must. We got ours to go 😆. Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience, and I am sure we will be back.

Everything is wonderful here. The food is amazing, its an experience! The pasta is delicious, salmon is ok. Tomahawk is delicious, it comes with flavorful greens with bacon. They have an amazing strawberry tiramisu that you must try! For a drink, get the forester smoked whiskey box and take a video when they bring it to you, It's amazing!! Sit in the rotating area for a beautiful view. Cant wait to come back here!

Super cute place to eat dinner. The host, Mike worked his magic and got us great seats with the most beautiful view. Great drinks. We ordered a bone-in ribeye that was super fatty, so we probably wouldn’t order another steak but we did enjoy the mashed potatoes and lobster bisque!

It was our anniversary and it was everything we imagined and more. Treated like royalty by all the staff, and I feel so bad I didn’t remember our waitresses’ name but she was phenomenal as a server but also as a fellow sales person, her upselling was very professional and subtle. We loved her service. The food was so insanely good and priced accordingly with the care and thought that went behind it. It was the greatest dinner date we’d ever had. The drinks were also wonderful, the bartender did a great job. And the VIEW????? We got the rotating dining room and it amazed us how beautiful the city and River looked. We were guaranteed one full rotation and that’s exactly what we got and more! I usually don’t like going to the same place twice, I like to expand my tastes- but Swizzle is somewhere I’d love to come back to for any special occasion. Thank you to everyone on staff last night, you made us feel like a million bucks.

I've been coming here every year for New Year's, and this year I was told they changed the menu. To be honest, the menu is very limited, and I preferred the old one. The dishes on this new menu are overpriced for what they offer. The mashed potatoes were very spicy, nothing like the old menu. As soon as we arrived, they told us there were only two prime rib portions left, and one of my wife's favorite drinks was no longer available. I was very disappointed, and to top it all off, they included a 20% service charge on the bill, which they shouldn't have done. My bill was around $520, and with the service charge, it was $100 more. I think I should be able to leave whatever tip I want, depending on the overall experience. The service was good, but the food and the menu are not worth the price. This is my last time going there. Disappointed.

Sam, our bartender was AMAZING! He had a great personality and made our experience so enjoyable! The drinks were incredible but truly, delivered with such intention and care! We were so impressed with his service! This is unreasonable hospitality! Thank you for a great experience that we weren’t expecting! We just came in for drinks quickly and it ended up being one of our favorite nights out! Sam & Trevon were both great but Sam exceeded our expectations by far! We will be back and asking for him!!!!!!

Food was decent, not something I would reccomend to friend and family. Sweet tea was gross. My salmon was squishy and tasted raw. Loved the broccolini and squash. What really pissed us off is they asked to box up our food. My husband had steak left and for some reason they threw it away. $120 steak and they thought we wouldn't want half of it??

We came here for a friend’s birthday dinner. We had a separate room away from everyone which made it more intimate and nice for conversation on a busy Friday night. Our server was very attentive. Our cocktails were mediocre for the price. I had the salmon and it was on the salty side. My husband and many others in our party had steaks. For the price and acclaims for the what we all had, it was overpriced and overrated. Besides the company we had, the best part of the night was the view of the room. It was a one and done experience.

My husband's & I were lucky to happen upon the 1st day of SWIZZLE's "Pours on the Top Floor" (pic) Thoughtful flavor paring of cocktail & appetizer! WHEN you go, be sure to say a big hello to the the most amazing guys: one&only Swizzle Sam and the top-shelf Mix-Master TRAVON! It was a treat to have an honest, good time with that friendly relaxed group. Tasty, fun, and atmosphere! What more could a person want?

We came to Louisville from Ohio to celebrate my 30th birthday! We love to visit high end restaurants a couple times a year and this time Swizzle was our stop! The idea of a rotating steakhouse drew us in! This was actually our second rotating restaurant we have visited. Swizzle appears to have two rotating dining rooms. These are smaller areas that hold roughly 40-50 people each. It's almost completely closed in with a small opening leading the the bar/entry area. This appears to cause conversations to appear louder than they are. Many times it was so loud from the other diners, it was hard to hear each other. This really took away from a romantic atmosphere we were seeking. The rotating experience was super cool. It seemed to take an hour to make one full lap. The food was delicious. We tried the filet and salmon. We also had the wedge and caesar salad. The rolls were absolutely delicious. They go above and beyond to help celebrate your birthday. A special menu, candles on your dessert. Friendly staff.

We dropped in because my wife thought they had a rotating bar - nope, it's a rotating restaurant section. We stayed for drinks anyway. I had their Stings Like A Bee (an Ali quote) and my wife had a Smoked Bourbon. The smoked drink comes in a box full of smoke, to infuse the drink. It was very good. The Stings like a Bee tasted great as well. Next time, we'll make a dinner reservation. They had an excellent section of wine, solid service, and nice views of the north side of Louisville. Lots of good stuff here in the Galt Hotel on the 25th Floor!

Sam the bartender was fabulous and gave wonderful recommendations! I started with 6 east coast oysters. Followed with the gnocchi appetizer, both were delicious. For my main course I had the scallops with wild mushrooms, again delicious. I finished with a chocolate cake and ice cream. The biggest piece of cake I've ever seen. The restaurant itself if beautiful, and down to earth.

Came into Louisville for work and somehow lucked into a business dinner reservation at Swizzle, aka the best view in the city, hands down! This place sits at the top of the Galt House and revolves, giving you a slow 360° panoramic tour of downtown, the Ohio River, bridges, barges, you name it. Pro tip: make sure you get a table by the window and at sunset. Totally worth it! Since we were in Kentucky, we started things off the right way...with a bourbon flight. We also went all in on the smoke box old fashioneds made with Four Roses. I'm not a normal Bourbon drinker so it was fun to experience. Started with wedge salads, classic, cold, and loaded with blue cheese and bacon. For mains, most of us went with the 8oz filet. One of my coworkers got the pork tomahawk chop, which I had to sample, and It was incredible! My filet came with a whole squeezable clove of roasted garlic which was a nice touch. For sides, we shared grilled asparagus and sautéed spinach, both solid, well-seasoned, and didn't feel like an afterthought. Desserts...We went big, of course!!! The bananas foster cheesecake was my favorite. We also tried the blackout cake, rich, chocolatey, and kind of a one-bite-and-I'm-done situation. Service was top-notch, timing was smooth, and they didn't rush us even as the room slowly spun into nighttime city views. Definitely not a cheap meal, but if you're in Louisville and want to impress clients or just yourself...this is the spot.

This was a cool restaurant downtown in Louisville. We sat in the swizzle room where the floor circulated so you could see all the views outside. Very cool and unique set up. The food was pretty good. It's a little higher priced so it's good for special occasions and such.

We were in town for the Barbie convention with a large party and were seated in the upstairs room, which had a nice view. However, it was insanely hot up there, which could've easily been remediated by the installation of a couple of small fans for example or improving the air conditioning. Things started off reasonably well - - the crabcakes appetizer was delicious - - however, my wife made the "mistake" of ordering her main course 15 minutes after the rest of the table since she was still having drinks and finishing her appetizer. Now one would expect in a restaurant with many dishes that are priced at over $100 that the kitchen manager would be able to prioritize her order so she could eat at the same time instead of having the food arrive over 30 minutes later. Then, instead of being apologetic, the waitress decided to debate with us the exact time of the order, and when we asked for the manager, he proceeded to do the same and make other excuses for why he wasn't doing his job. Also, the menu clearly stated for her $76 fillet XXV at the meal came with "sautéed mushrooms, asparagus,..." which for students of the English language or at least those that have a rudimentary understanding of it indicates that you're receiving two separate items and instead what came out was some sort of jumble of asparagus stalks. Everyone else at the table either got a nice serving of mushrooms or asparagus. At which point the manager wanted to debate that as well and ultimately we left unsatisfied overheated, and in general frustrated with what should've been a very high class luxury experience.

Here for a couple of nights out of town and let me tell you... Sam the bartender was absolutely amazing. Great energy, great drinks, and just all around good people. My partner and I are very " particular " with our drinks if you will and he nailed it. You can also spot some of the regulars that come to see him. Which is understandable because if I lived here, I would too lol. S/O Sam !

We were here for the Derby so it was a limited menu. I didn't love the variety but understand why restaurants need to do this during special events. Overall, the food was good. The service was very nice and pleasant. We sat in the dining area with the rotating seating was pretty cool atmosphere overlooking the river.

Everything about this place was amazing! The food was divine and the ambiance even better!! The rotating view was def it!

We had dinner reservations for 6:30 PM on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was packed which is always a good sign. We started our dinner with two appetizers: crab cakes and skewered meatballs. Our group enjoyed both. We were also served bread with a side of butter. Their bread was incredibly soft and delicious! There were 5 of us in our group. I had the salmon on herbed popcorn rice. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the rice was wonderfully flavored. Truly paired well. One of my colleagues asked for the filet mignon cooked medium rare. Unfortunately, it was medium well when it was served. She proceeded to eat it but we informed our wait person about the order. The Manager also came to our table and we mentioned what happened. He removed the filet mignon from the ticket and gave us complimentary desserts. He also offered to make it right by serving another piece of filet cooked the way she wanted it but she chose to forego the offer since it would have meant a longer wait. At any rate, they did the right thing which pleased our group. The restaurant rotates 360 degrees in an hour which is really cool. Everyone gets to see the wonderful view it has to offer. I truly enjoyed my experience at Swizzle. The food, the service and the company were top notch.

LOVE LOVE LOVE SWIZZLE! As soon as you walk in you feel welcome doesn't matter if you're dining or just coming for the amazing happy hour! I highly recommend making a dinner reservation just to enjoy the rotating dining room floor to ceiling glass view. I have been to Swizzle several times and am excited to come back soon to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday! The service both dining in and at the bar are amazing. Drinks are prepared to perfection you won't be disappointed. Appetizers are well portioned and always tasty. The BURGER ahhhh as much as I'm looking forward to dinner that trifecta burger is incredible!!!! I'm actually staying at the hotel so I just might have to sneak over for a burger the day before our dinner party. Scallops were amazing, my friend ordered them twice! I'm wanting to try everything on the menu, next time I'm thinking lobster and the carnivore platter, if anyone wants to share or not haha! Both the mushrooms and green beans are fantastic I'll need to try those duck fat fried potatoes next! Yum! I promise next trip to Louisville I'll take more photos! It's such a beautiful bar and restaurant with the most amazing staff. Thank you!

Holy moly.... I'm not normally a hotel restaurant fan. This place surpassed all of my expectations. Portion size, flavor, delivery, service, ambiance, 12 out of 10 stars. Our table of three ordered filets, salmon, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, crab cake appetizer, and drinks. All were fantastic. The rolls were amazing too!

We came here for our anniversary dinner and it was just okay. You are definitely paying for the "view". We got a filet and Strip steak. The steak was cooked perfectly, but there was NO flavor and the strip was a little chewy for the price. Mac and cheese was mid and actually cold. The atmosphere wasn't the best. The room that spins was actually a little "bumpy" in some spots and was not smooth. Also there was a couple walking around the dining area eating their food and taking photos in the windows all through out the room and being very loud..... We were very disappointed especially paying over $300 for a meal.

Server was not attentive. Nothing special for Birthday dinner other than menu with Happy Birthday printed on it. Parking is not validated. The only thing is the view. Completely underwhelmed. Save your money, go to Jeff Ruby's

Oh I want to like this place so much. It's located on the 25th floor and slowly rotates so I'd recommend going in the fall or winter when the sun sets a bit earlier. The ambience is nice and our waiter was great. The bread here is phenomenal - soft and warm with good butter. The crispy broccolini in burrata is also quite good but unfortunately it stops there. The salmon was good though not special. The scallop dish was quite salty and the arugula salad was over seasoned. We also had mac and and cheese and shoestring fries, both of which had good texture but again holy salt bomb. You're going to need those water refills.

Four of us went to dinner at Swizzle while visiting Louisville. This restaurant is located on the top floor of the Galt Hotel. I had made reservations weeks before our arrival. Upon checking in, the three hostesses at the desk proceeded to direct us to the first table by the hostess stand in the wide hallway leading to the dining room. It was the worst table at the restaurant. When I expressed that I made reservations weeks in advance, and I didn't want to sit in the hallway, the three young women gave me an attitude. I was about to leave and spend our $$$ elsewhere. My friend, who is a manager at a high-end restaurant in Chicago, sought out the manager and within 15 minutes we were shown to a table within the dining room and a plus, in the rotating section of the restaurant, where you can enjoy the skyline of Louisville rotating 360°. I can't thank you enough Travis for the hospitality and a table within the restaurant. Our server was David, who provided impeccable service. The four of us started out with cocktails. I had the sting like a bee, which was a bourbon cocktail, delicious. We shared two appetizers, the grilled bacon and the meatball skewers. The grilled bacon was insane, a thick sliced piece of bacon served with a refreshing jam and chicharrons. The meatball appetizer had four small meatballs in a tomato sauce with melted mozzarella on top. The meatballs were small, soft and flavorful. My husband and I shared a watermelon salad. It was okay, it could have used more watermelon. Next, we ordered a bottle of wine for the table to share. For dinner, my husband ordered the Chilean seabass, which was perfectly cooked, moist and flaky. My friend and I split two entrées, the prime rib and the scallops. The prime rib was absolutely delicious and cooked to the perfect medium rare. The scallops were delicious, although there were only four on the plate for $58. I thought the price point was high for what was on the plate. The food at Swizzle is delicious, the atmosphere is nice, great cocktails and the service is on point. I will definitely be back again to enjoy a more leisurely dinner. We had to rush dinner because we had reservations at The Bar at Fort Nelson at Michter's. I definitely recommend Swizzle.

This wasn't their best performance. The view is stellar, the drinks fun, it's a great menu and the service staff is lovely. Sadly, the steaks were ordered medium-rare and all came out medium-well/well. Grey interior with a small amount of pink. Very dry. They were gracious and offered to make it right next time. But this is untenable for a steak house.

We came here for a birthday celebration and it was my first time coming here. We were seated at the revolving floor, and even though it was rainy outside, we still very much enjoyed the view. It was definitely an experience. The cocktails here were excellent, I would tell them put a lot of thought to it. The food was also amazing! The location is right at the heart of downtown so it would be convenient to have dinner and then watch a show at yum center or at the actor theatre next time. We all liked the food, view and services, I would definitely return for another time.

A fantastic restaurant by all measures. Excellent location on the 25th floor of the Galt House's west tower with panoramic views of the city and the Ohio River. The rotating dinner floor that allows you to gradually make your way around the turntable at least twice over the course of a good meal is a great experience particularly at sunset. Our server was wonderful, engaging and helpful with great suggestions but never obtrusive. The drinks are good-- while a bit of a showpiece upgrade spectacle, the smoke-house old fashioned (with your choice of 3 bourbons depending on your tier/taste preference, I went with Four Roses) is well worth trying as it's fun to receive and better to drink! It's a strong old-fashioned with great taste and the smoke actually infuses the drink in a great way. Good selection of affordable beers, great wine list, and a TON of bourbon + other whiskey options this being Louisville. Most importantly, the food! A straightforward menu with top-shelf items. They have obviously fine-crafted that list to have just the things they can do best. I went with the sea bass which was terrific. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, served with sweet potato hash (chorizo, mushrooms and leeks). I also had a side of the Charred Broccolini (w/ tomato aioli) and the baked 3-cheese macaroni (both were terrific). My friends had the filet, duck fat potatoes, and orecchiette pasta. Everything was prepared superbly and there were zero complaints from any of us. It's not a "cheap" place to dine but the ingredients, quality, and service more than justify the price tag. Highly recommended, easily one of the best meals I've had in a long time.

I was in town for a weekend of tasting bourbon with friends and Swizzle was a great way to end the trip! We looked up reviews prior to making reservations and found it to be a solid suggestion. We arrived at 8:00pm and chose to valet the car. It was $10 and that was reasonable compared to places we typically visit. Upon getting off the elevator, we were greeted by as friendly face and taken to our table. The view from the rotating dining room overlooked the river. It was fairly dark outside but still a nice view. Our server offered up some of her favorites as suggestions. We opted for the king Ora salmon and the filet. She recommended the BLT salad so we both chose that as a starter. While we waited on our dishes, we both chose a flight of bourbon to sample. I chose Blantons, E H Taylor and Buffalo Trace. For $28 they were pretty good sized pours. I've absolutely paid $20 for one pour of Blantons before so I was pleased with the price. The food was a solid 7/10. Not overly spectacular, but it had good flavor and was cooked the way we requested. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Two of us had reservations on a Thursday night for our anniversary. We were seated immediately. This is on top of the Galt House in the rotating restaurant that has spectacular views. We ordered the burrata cheese appetizer - my wife really enjoyed that. I ordered the filet, my wife the sea bass. For sides Asparagus, Spinach & Mac & cheese. Everything was fine (not great). For desert we received a desert, due to our anniversary. We chose the cheescake, which was excellent. That and 3 drinks came up to $275 ( including tip). Service was fine. Overall we probably wouldn't go back, the value for the money is meh. I'll leave it for the out of town visitors.

We went for drinks and apps..and the experience. We were seated before our reservation time and decided to sit in the rotating rotunda. The drinks were a little sweet for us, but good. Plenty of apps to choose from. Our waiter was knowledgeable and professional, and great at casual convos. It is a great place to take out of town guests at sunset.

We dined here after my son's graduation. Everything was AMAZING. Peter was our waiter and he was a character. I'd definitely request his section if I visit KY again. Praveen was the gentleman who helped as well. He was very pleasant.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Swizzle! The views from the rotating dining room were fun and unique. We had the Carnivore Platter and Crispy Broccolini. The steaks were tender and seasoned very well!

Ambiance: 10/10 The rotating floor allowed for a full view of the skyline. It was very romantic. When booking the reservation, be sure to request that area. Appetizers: 8/10 We had calamari and crab cakes. The calamari tasted better than it looked. The crab cakes were decent. Drinks: 10/10. Since I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary when booking, we got complimentary champagne. We were greeted with "Happy Anniversary" by lots of staff. That was special. My husbands drink was on the "experience" list.

So you wanted to have dinner on the 25th floor and rotate while enjoying dinner. Swizzle is the answer! We were lucky enough to get a table on the platform so we got a 360 degree view of Louisville. The bread was so good I forgot to get a picture. At the table we had a wedge salad, calamari, crab cakes, tomahawk chop, Mac and cheese, and potato gnocchi. Our party of three shared it all except the bourbon flight. Reservations are a must, but it is worth the wait. Our wait staff was awesome. And when you can't eat it all you get a recyclable to go bag. Though pricey you have to treat yourself when away from home. It's never about pictures it always about new foods when traveling.

I had a wonderful time here at Swizzle Dinner and Drinks! Both the food and the drinks were just amazing! Very appropriate pricing and very high-quality. The service was quick and very diligent. The ambiance was very nice, cozy and warm. 5 stars.

Service was not up to what I would have expected for an upscale restaurant. Food was also below par as it was over done and dried out. The view was outstanding but everything else was below expectations

Food was great. Best pork chop I have had. The view was amazing as it turned. Desert and drinks were amazing. Only knock we never got our bread.

The service was great. Woodford Reserve Flights are amazing. Prime Rib, cheddar grits, truffle, fries, kale greens. All awesome.

Very slow service. Served half the party. 15 minutes later the rest came out. Waitstaff is friendly, but needs more training. Served bread & butter with no knives. Had to ask for set up. Out of 1st choice for both wine & main course. A disappointment. ​

My wife and I enjoy trying new restaurants all the time. So, with our Anniversary coming up, I looked on Yelp to find one that was worthy of us spending our Anniversary dinner in. After browsing the offerings in Louisville, I decided on Swizzle. I made my reservation and waited for the date to arrive. Once the calendar reached our Anniversary date, we excitedly made the 15-minute drive to the restaurant. We utilized the convenient valet parking and made our way in. The elevator deposited us on the 25th floor, so we located the reception desk, and a very polite and friendly lady greeted us. She confirmed our reservation and asked us to wait a few minutes. After a few minutes, a gentleman asked us to follow him, and he led us to our table. I had requested a seat in an area that rotates. Much to my delight, they were able to fulfill my request. We were seated and the same young lady that greeted us announced she was going to be our server for the evening. Since we had never been to Swizzle before, we took a few minutes to peruse the drink menu. I landed on the smoked old fashion, which was so good I had two, and my wife decided on a drink called Sting Like a Bee, again so good my wife had two. We ordered the meatball appetizer, which was very good, and then put in our entrée order. We both decided on the Cowboy Cut Ribeye, I added a baked potato, and she added mushrooms and a spinach salad. And when our food arrived it, all looked very tasty. We started to enjoy our meal and we both ran into a slight problem. The steaks were not as good as I thought they should be for their price point. Now they had a great taste and were cooked to perfection, the issue was with the amount of grizzle we found in ours. There was much more grizzle than I would expect at such a high-quality restaurant. As mentioned before, everything else was fantastic. Oh, and the service, the best we have had in a long time. We asked for a to-go box for the complimentary anniversary dessert since we were both stuffed, paid our bill, and went to the reception desk to pick up our dessert. I mentioned, to who I am assuming was the manager, how great our server was. Now in most of my reviews, here is where I call out the server's name so you good reader can request that person. But as I was praising her performance, the manager told us she had just graduated college and would be leaving the restaurant shortly. Congratulations to her, but now we will have to find another server for our return visit. I am awarding Swizzle 5 stars for no other reason than everything was fantastic except the steak. I can only imagine that they unknowingly had steak delivered below their standards. And the views, with the rotating seating area, were great. My wife, who is a native Louisvillian, commented on how it was great to see the city from a new vantage point. I am looking forward to our next visit when I can try the other rotating seating area.

My wife took us for a little getaway for our anniversary/Father's Day and the hotel room was great, we went to the swizzle on the 25th floor our waiter Slade was great my wife and I both got the 12oz prime rib and Au Ju sauce was definitely amazing, and then we were in one of the rotating rooms so we got to see a little bit of the city along with the Ohio river over all definitely recommend for anyone that wants to get away!

Food was average. Okay meal. We ask for the steak to be medium rare and we got medium well. Don't get the crab dip, it's not worth it, lack flavor. The seafood platter was the best dish! Server was kind, but the speed of service was slow. The rotating was different and nice touch to the experience. It's a bit on the chilly side, so bring a jacket/sweater.

The food & drinks were very good here. We went here because we were staying at the hotel. It's a great abundance and view.

Took the kids during vacation for a special dinner and it lived up to everyone's expectations.

Split the Prime Dry-Aged Bone-In Ribeye with truffle butter with my husband and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Split with 2 sides (duck fat potatoes which were meh.. and mushrooms that my husband loved). Views were beautiful and we had a great sunset from the rotating room! Drink list is just ok. Wish they had more wine by the glass and beer options (no draft) for my husbands sake but will say the choices were still good. No mocktails list unfortunately but our server had a fantastic recommendation I was very grateful for! I'm not gonna lie their bread is on point. We ended up getting more! I'd recommend going elsewhere for dessert but their dessert/after dinner drinks looked great! Would likely make a nice spot for an business meetup/celebration or bring clients to but for us made a great date night for something different!

Swizzle dinner & drinks is an upscale American steak restaurant located on the 25th floor of Lousiville historic downtown hotel the Galt House. Known for their rotating room floors that give you astonishing views of downtown Lousiville and the Ohio river I've had this on my to visit list for awhile now. My wife birthday was rapidly approaching so we booked a reservation in advance for an early dinner and got a spot in one of the two rotating rooms. Being as it is downtown Lousiville you will either need to street park or pay for a parking garage spot. I purposely made my reservation after 6pm knowing that street parking in downtown Lousiville on a weekday after 6 pm is free. So we park a block or two down and walk in. You walk into the left entrance of the galt house which does have a "swizzle" sign atop. You take the elevator to the 25th floor and you walk out into the elegant dining floor. Service here was great! For high end dollar establishment and celebratory dinners you always want and expect above average service and swizzle absolutely delivered. Everyone from host to waiter was amazing! The rotating room is really cool and offers beautiful views. It turns very slowly so you really can't tell your moving until you look up and was like "hey we was by the window a few moments ago". This so a rough guess but we was their around 2 hours. I'd say it took about 90 minutes for us to make a full rotation. They start you off with a complimentary bread which had good flavor and was a nice kick start to the rest of our meal. My wife and I put in a order of calamari which was solid. Not bad by any means but didn't quite stack up to everything else we ordered. The calamari breading I enjoyed I'm not sure I was a fan of the calamari being marinated in the dish with the sauce as opposed to me dipping it myself. But it was still a nice app. My wife did some table lurking and seen a tall fruity looking beverage and told our waiter "yes please". Turns out it was a "bourbon thyme" drink which features bourbon, a stick of thyme and bitters. Very delicious drink. She isn't a big bourbon fan (bad Kentuckian right?) and loved it. I am a big bourbon guy and I sampled it and the general consensus between us two is this was a very tasty drink. For our entrees my wife went with the 14 oz New York strip for her birthday meal and I went with the 16 oz cowboy ribeye. To say it was delicious is an understatement. Both were very delicious steaks cooked to perfection and just the way we ordered them. For me it's always medium rare for the win. And this steak was winning for sure! My wife being the birthday girl got to choose any dessert she wanted as a complimentary treat. She went with the Swizzle chocolate blackout cake and it was massive! Which is great because she was going to have to give me a few bites anyways once I seen the cake delivered. Cake as very moist and delicious like pretty much everything we had here. Overall we had a perfect evening here. Great service, great food, and beautiful views. This may be a strange thing to point out but a lot of high end popular steak houses tend to over pack you in and makes for very humid and anxious atmospheres for me. However this was very spacious and comfortable. Felt like I was relaxing in my cool and comfy man cave. Highly recommend for anyone in the Lousiville area. Easily cracks my top 3 steakhouses in the city!

Swizzle is at the top of my list for places to visit. It sits on the 25th floor of the Galt House and has twin dining rooms that rotate for amazing views overlooking the Ohio River and downtown Louisville. The food was amazing and worth every penny as were the cocktails. 8oz filet, grilled bacon, 5 layer chocolate cake....holy moly... all delicious! Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, here comes the 1910 Smoked Old Fashioned....a drink to honor of the 1910 Old Forrester distillery fire. Our server, David, was amazing! He was so very kind and generous sharing with us his favorite recommendations and we were able to get him talking a little about his love for horses! You'll definitely want to ask for him by name. We were able to find immediate seating as we arrived shortly before opening, but I'd suggest making a reservation to ensure you have a table.

The restaurant is on top floor of Galt House. There is $10 valet parking for the restaurant. Peter was our main server and Nikhel brought us bread. Both were very nice. Having never been here before and being an indecisive person, I trusted Peter to help me with my meal choices and he didn't disappoint. I ordered the Pork chops with duck fat potatoes instead of mushrooms. This was a huge serving. I couldn't get near finishing it. I loved it tho, the taste, texture and temperature were perfect. I had the Banfi Rosa Regale wine which was perfectly sweet and paired well with my pork chop. My companion had the salmon with a bourbon drink and thought everything was very delectable. The ambiance was perfect for couples or the bar seemed lively for individual or casual diners. We set near the window and rotated fully while we dined. It was a great dining experience and we will be back. was nice

This place spins and gives you a great view of louisville. It's located at the top of the Galt house. They are pretty booked out but were able to accommodate us as a walk in. I got the chicken dish. The portion size was huge and it was accompanied by fresh vegetables. I also got a drink I didn't quite enjoy but the server noticed and was quick to get me one of the best old fashioned I'd had in louisville. The prices are definitely high but for the view, ambiance, and service it seems worth the visit.

oh boy, what a view and excellent service from Brittany. A must try! Elevated dining, but welcoming if you're more on the casual side. Expansive menu so choices for all

We came for the view, we loved the food, and we stayed for service. It was a wonderful birthday in the revolving room. The Bananas Foster Cheesecake was the perfect way to end the day over Louisville. And Brittany made us feel so special. Happy Birthday to Me!!

When I sat down in the restaurant, I didn't realize it was a turning restaurant - what a fun surprise! Started with a smoked old fashioned which I would highly recommend. Great presentation. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, so tender and delicious. Great place to eat!

The server, Kathy was very rude and very ageist. She was treating my party differently because we were younger. I asked if I could show her a picture of food. I have had at the whistle previously and she told me that that food wasn't from there. I told her that it was and I scrolled over and showed her the menu picture I had as well. She stood over top of me, making me feel pressured for at least two minutes. She didn't explain my questions that I had about the UPDATED menu just treated me as if I was stupid.

This restaurant is quite pricey, especially for the area, and it doesn't need to be. I wanted to get that out of the way! It was a great experience coming here. If you think of revolving restaurants, of which there are fewer as the years go by, you'd be forgiven for thinking that they're all stuffy and dated. Somehow, this restaurant is modern and elegant, without being inaccessible. I liked its design touches! We came here without a reservation and only had to wait 5-10 minutes. We walked by many eye-catching wine cellars and sat down in the revolving part. Be aware that the revolving is not quite imperceptible; you will notice some movement if you pay attention, so if you get motion sickness or plan on ordering tons of drinks (or both), this might be a bad idea/stick to the normal seating area. Some parts of the revolving almost seemed to "stick" a bit, but it was nothing that seemed unsafe or nausea-inducing. Our waitress was extremely kind and energetic. She knew a ton about the menu and was genuinely happy to help everyone she served have an excellent time. I liked how extensive the food and drink menus both were. I broke my rule and got a steak, and if there was anywhere to do it, I am glad it was here. The filet was cooked (and seasoned) perfectly. Wow! I also enjoyed the sauteed mushrooms as a side. My husband loved his burger and truffle fries. I got two different cocktails, and they were both delicious. The second one I got has a name that escapes me, but it was layered and quite flamboyant, for lack of a better term :). It was a bit strong, so be aware of that! This is more of a special occasion restaurant, but it's worth checking out every so often.

Located on the 25th story of the Galt house the view is beautiful. I went with a party of 3, and had a reservation for 5:15 pm. We were sat almost immediately in one of the rotating corners. So far so good, no complaints. Our waitress, who was extremely nice and attentive, came over to grab our drink order. My best friend and I ordered a glass of cab... to which the brand we ordered was sold out. We ordered a different brand, and that one was sold out as well. 3rd time was the charm. I ordered the filet "a la swizzle" with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. My filet was over cooked, but seasoned nicely. The mushroom sauce they put on it was good. The garlic mashed potatoes were okay but lukewarm. My friend got the chicken, and she said it tasted "almost microwaved". We did not mention this to the waitress but did see her take away plates from a different table who we overheard there's were not properly cooked as well. For 2 glasses of wine, the chicken dish, a side of garlic mashed potatoes, the bacon appetizer and a filet our bill was $214 and some change. I would come here for drinks again but maybe go somewhere else for dinner. I would think about giving it another chance though.

Ambience and oh the rotating rooms - what a view. Our server was nice but a bit absentee. The precious lady who visited our table twice was a keeper! We had salads, baby kale and his was a great Caesar. Strong salads that were fresh and flavorful. The crab cakes were good but $23 for 2 - not that good! Redeeming factor was dessert. Oh that caramel cheesecake - so decadent. The praline glazed banana was a perfect accompaniment. Hubby got tiramisu and it was rich and enormous. If anything, go for the desserts, the views and the managers' colorful ensembles.
