211 Clover Lane

We recently had lunch at 211 Clover Lane and everything was very good including the ambiance, the service and the food. The entire experience was 5 STAR!

This place is really cute and enjoyable to dress up for a meal if that is what you are looking for. But this food was mediocre, plain and so small. I will pay whatever it cost but a full lunch was nothing but Bibb lettuce with vinaigrette and a small piece of cheese on plate. This was the whole meal, not one other veggie on the plate. I have not reason to go back here. The menu was small, the food let a lot to be desired. I also had the French onion soup which was just okay, not a traditional preparation and the smallest portion of soup I have ever been served.I dont understand how so many restaurents in Louisville, Ky get good reviews when I have been to them and they are just not good. I think people here haven't had good food and they think mediocre food like 211 is good? No, it isnt it pissed me off frankly I will not be back here.

Our third time here! I know, why'd I take so long? Every time we come here we're treated warmly and seated immediately. Very friendly staff all around. Depending on where you're seated, it seams like a French farmhouse chic when you're overlooking the gardens. Can't wait till the garden is open to eat in! They always give you a mini scone complimentary to start and we got champagne with it, usually do, because ... champagne! I got the shrimp and grits (brunch menu) and they were so perfect!!!! Those will be hard to pass up next time! I did get a dessert, key lime tart and it was a perfect finish to brunch! Now to be able to go about the rest of the day!

We wanted a really nice, really reputable, really intimate place for our first wedding anniversary dinner. This place checked all the boxes, and we had a great evening. We started out with a couple of cocktails and some beef carpaccio, all were excellent. For our entrees, we couldn't quite decide so we opted to split the New York strip and the pan seared Canadian halibut. Splitting was a great choice, both entrees were delicious and balanced in flavor. For dessert we got some creme brûlée that I am still dreaming about to this day. The best parts of the meal though were the atmosphere and the staff. We were able to get a table in a very secluded corner of the restaurant. The locale is very prim and proper and not loud at all. We got along great with the staff, they took great care of us and made sure we had a very special anniversary. Overall fantastic experience, I've highly recommended it several times, and I can't wait to come back!

What a gem. Delicious farm sourced food, excellent service. 10/10 we will be back!PS thank you for the birthday dessert

Chef Troy Schuster and owner Andrew Smith have an intimate upscale hidden gem with a French countryside atmosphere serving seasonal items in a quasi-residential area. We had a large party and was able to secure the large beautiful private dining room off the bar.The food here is absolutely delicious. I started with the burrata cheese over beefsteak tomato with basil and olive oil. The appetizer was essentially a caprese salad with burrata cheese. I love both so I enjoyed this combination. The restaurant is known for their seared Idaho trout which was 2 filets of trout that were prepared perfectly and quite flavorful with the beurre blanc sauce. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate pot de creme which was a nice finish to a perfect dinner.Service was excellent. Our server, Nick, was friendly and very helpful with menu recommendations for us out-of-towners. The staff did a wonderful job accommodating our demanding group. We were able to enjoy a pleasant evening with an exceptional meal that exceeded our high expectations. I highly recommend 211 Clover Lane especially for that special occasion.

The restaurant is slightly off the beaten path off of Westport Road. Cute array of shops, ample parking. Outside dining in quaint courtyard also available. Relaxed, refined and welcoming atmosphere. Attentive and friendly staff. Lovely decor. Early dining at 5pm was great. The dining room began to get busy around 6pm. Great menu selection from meat to seafood. Been craving Halibut (newbie Cali transplant) and found the dish here to exceed my expectations. Absolutely delightful dining experience. Making plans to return soon.

I've eaten at 211 Clover Lane twice, and as I firmly believe in second chances, waited until after the second dining experience to write a review. My first impression is still valid. 211 Clover Lane is... fine. The front of house staff are pleasant enough. The servers are adequate. The food is okay. Neither experience wowed me. And this would be more acceptable, except the ambience and prices suggest one should embark on a dining experience at 211 Clover Lane with higher expectations.The fried green tomatoes lacked flavor ($13). The 211 house salad was at its core a handful of greens with an uninspired vinaigrette ($12). There was no vegan option for the main course, however after much hemming and hawing the server agreed to ask chef if they could create one, which they did - pasta topped with tomatoes and basil ($28). The pasta taste and texture suggested box over house-made, and although the kitchen was liberal with black pepper, there were no other flavors that stood out.In regards to service, our water glasses were often empty, and it took quite a while to receive the check, despite the restaurant being less than half occupied. I wish I had better things to say, but sometimes even second chances don't work out the way we hope.

It's definitely a pleasant surprise to find this restaurant! It's hidden away in St Matthew - a hidden gem. It is around by industrial stuff and stores, but once you are in, the restaurant is beautiful and the back patio looks very beautiful, but it was too hot for us to sit outside. Everything tastes delicious from the first thing till the last thing we drink and eat. The oysters were sweet and fresh. For cocktails, we got tales of clover, which was a bourbon cocktail, and a coffee martini. They were both delicious! For entrée, we got ratatouille and seared scallops! the scallops melted in your mouth, with just the right amount the seasoning. I think it could use a little more sauce, with the couscous, but I think the intention was going, I just prefer a little more saucy myself, I would get it again. To wrap it all up, we got the chocolate raspberry ganache, it was actually recommended by our server, he said that the first bite will be different than the last bite and that it is one of the more sophisticated dessert they have, and he was right! You taste more raspberry in the beginning and then a lot more chocolate at the end. The chocolate taste kind of like truffle like or brownie, like, so rich and flavorful! The whole experience and service was amazing!

There's nothing I can say wrong but everything I can say right!! The service was amazing!! Ford and the rest of the staff were well attentive to customers and each I noticed helped one another with refills or clearing plates off the table. Ford was the bartending, my drink was great, but was also our server. We order fried green tomatoes and poached shrimp for appetizers , THE BOMB!! Dinner, I got the Halibut, was beyond my expectations and I cleared my plate as did my friend. We continued our fancy night out with dessert. We got the key lime pie and lemon blueberry cake to share and OMG they were both amazing!! Light music and an outside bar to ad the ambiance was great to finish the night. I know when I'm back in town this would definitely be a stop I would make again. Thank you for such a great meal
