- DDannyGoldCentral Kentucky •23 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe raspberry mule is not to be missed! Really good drink. The lobster bisque was good although the texture was thin. The lobster salad is so wonderful. Dorian provided outstanding service. The new policy is you need to ask if you want their amazing cornbread which comes with a meal. So make sure to ask! The food and service at this restaurant is outstanding. The view of the Ohio river is beautiful.More infoRiver House Restaurant & Raw Bar$$$$• Seafood• Downtown Louisville•4.7

- JJustinGoldCentral Kentucky •8 reviews4.0Dined on 9 Oct 2026Our first time at LuVino. We had an enjoyable evening. The restaurant was nicely decorated and very comfortable. All of the staff were super nice. The service was excellent. The only reason this is a four star review and not a five star is that the food quality, while very good, wasn’t as good as other restaurants we frequent in the same price category. I had steak and fries and found that the steak was pretty good, but the fries were a little dry and needed some more sauce or something and that the proportion of fries was pretty large compared to the steak. My wife has become a connoisseur of shrimp and grits and, again, found them to be good, but not as good as other places. The shrimp were breaded instead of grilled and she found that to be a fault with the dish. I don’t want to say that the food wasn’t good, because it was very good. It’s just there are other local restaurants that have higher quality food for the price.. We also got a bottle of wine and enjoyed that with dinner. They have an excellent wine and bourbon selection.More infoLouVino - Douglass Hills$$$$• Contemporary American• Middletown•4.3
