I was here for breakfast. I had the All American breakfast. 2 eggs (ordered over medium), bacon, breakfast potato's and toast.The server came quickly to take my order. I only had water and she kept it full.When my breakfast came my eggs were over hard, the bacon was limp and the potatoes were not home fries as I expected but whole potatoes seasoned, and only 1 small slice of toast. I was a bit disappointed all in all. This is a pretty swanky place at dinner and I thought the breakfast would be exceptional. There is nothing within walking distance for breakfast until a bit later so I was kind of at their mercy.

First and foremost the bar tending staff here deserve all their flowers because every year my coworkers and I stay here for a week long trade show and we never are short on beverages despite the crowd! They stand on business when it comes to making sure we're liquored up. The food here is absolutely divine. There is not a single on the menu I didn't like.

Repeal comes highly recommended but it may be an acquired taste that I may not have. I found the food to lack seasoning, everything tasted like salt. The steaks have a charred taste to them because of the way they are cooked. The sea bass lacked flavor, the mushrooms were my favorite sides, we also got Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes, I thought they were okay, also lacked flavor. The oyster Rockefeller were big in size and tasty. The steak that I ordered was to be cooked medium but it came out more medium rare- I just sent it back to be cooked a little longer. It was no problem but they admitted fault because it was very rare and fixed the problem. Our server was very patient and nice. She did great and brought things out in a timely manner. When it was nearing the end of the dinner, I was still eating because my food took longer to come out due to it needing to be cooked a little longer but the waiter came out as I took a bite and asked if I was done eating so he could box my food away. I did feel rushed and that the manager and second server weren't as patient as the one who took our order and handled most of our needs. But that's fine, it was getting close to closing time. The restaurant is very beautiful but feels casual. We came for a birthday dinner. I do think there are better steak houses in Louisville. The steak was nothing special.

My wife and I recently dined at Repeal during our stay at the Hotel Distil in Louisville. The restaurant was lively and crowded, and we managed to snag a high-top table near the bar.The service was excellent from the start--our server promptly greeted us with menus and offered a couple of helpful suggestions. For starters, my wife enjoyed the lobster bisque, while I found the bone marrow underwhelming. The Parker House rolls, however, were a nice complementary touch.For drinks, my wife had wine, and I ordered their signature old fashioned, which unfortunately tasted watered down. Later, I tried their smoked old fashioned, and it was spot on--a definite highlight for me.For our main courses, we both opted for steaks. My wife had the filet with mashed potatoes, while I chose the Churchill signature filet with asparagus. Both steaks were cooked to perfection, but they lacked basic seasoning (salt and pepper), which was disappointing given the quality of the meat.To end the meal, we shared the Jefferson's Reserve bread pudding with ice cream. It was absolutely delicious and a great way to round out the evening.While the service was good and the dessert memorable, the lack of proper seasoning on the main dishes and the inconsistency in drinks were notable misses for us. With a bit more attention to detail, this could have been an outstanding meal.

We highly recommend that you make reservations for this steakhouse. The food is absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable. We have to give a big shout out to Bryce our server who was spectacular! he convinced my ribeye loving husband to try the New York strip and he was absolutely right! It was deliciousWe had made a reservation for7:30 in the evening. And arrived around seven and they were able to see us right away. The downstairs area was very busy and very loud so we were excited that we were seated upstairs in the conservatory type area. We enjoyed the ambience of the area that we were seated in .My husband started with the lobster bisque. They do use Sherry in their lobster bisque, but it is made with their soup and not poured on top which was amazing for us. I opted for the gold beet and cheese salad, which was spectacular. The golden beets were just perfect! We both planned to order steak, so Bryce, suggested that we do it as a meatboard where it's pre-cut for us so that we would have the option to try each others and share. It was absolutely the perfect recommendation for us and we enjoyed being able to share the ribeye and also the strip steak. Love the little char that got on the strip - provided the extra flavor and the ribeye meat flavoring was amazing as was the New York strip. Truly great steaks for the area!

I dined three times at Repeal over two days as a guest at the Hotel Distil and each experience was amazing. Beautiful, intimate dining space with lots of natural light. All the servers were upbeat, engaging and customer-focused. I started with lunch and wanted to eat light. My server Kevin highly recommended the Crabcake. He was spot-on, this thing was as good asif you were eating one in Boston. The Steak Fries with ketchup and aioli. Perfectly fried and so yummy. For dinner, I wanted to try a steak, since Repeal is a highly regarded local steakhouse. Courtney, my server, was super helpful. On a previous Louisville visit, I dined at Barn8 on Hermitage and tried their signature carrots. Well, the Grilled Carrots at Repeal were equally as good. The Fred Linz Heritage Bone-In Filet was exquisite. As expected, amazing flavor and tenderness, perfectly cooked and a sizeable 12-ounce portion (with a small bone). I was disappointed you can't order a traditional baked potato. But they do offer a $20 Billionaire's Potato that was twice baked and served with cheese and black truffles. Guess I should have tried that, but I ordered the Whipped Yukon Gold Potatoes which were insanely creamy and a massive serving for two to three. For breakfast, the Bacon, Egg & Cheddar Sandwich served on a lightly toasted bun was awesome. The thick cut pepper bacon was delish.

Disappointing for the price.Let's start with the obvious. The food was not bad by any means. It was good. However it was not great and it was not phenomenal. The price of the food compared to the flavor left our party desiring something else. What we got:Old fashionedOystersBurrata appetizerDeans style filet 22oz ribeyeWhipped potatoesCreamed spinach Out of the above list nothing was phenomenal. Nothing knocked our socks off. The only thing we commented on being above par was the cocktail sauce that was offered with the oysters.I am no stranger to steak houses prices, but this was truly not worth it to me. It seems you are paying for the ambiance and service. This spot wants to be the best steakhouse in town but fails to deliver anything special.
