Welcome to the Louisville Restaurants Forum, a civil place for the intelligent discussion of the local restaurant scene and just about any other topic related to food and drink in and around Louisville.
I have VIP guests coming in Sunday for the PGA. Need dinner recommendation for 7pm Sunday night. Steak, chicken or Italian were on their short list. They love wine. What's your top 5 for Sunday night?
Just what I said to David in a private conversation, Nora! My reply to him on FB inbox, before I grasped that he was talking about Sunday:
Volare (since you mentioned Italian), Rye, Proof, MilkWood, Seviche ... Or if they really want steak, maybe Del Frisco's? Or Pat's if they want an old '70s style Louisville experience.
I appreciate the suggestion. My last visit to Volare was 2-years ago and it was OK. Nothing special. I travel to Chicago every 45-60 days and the Italian spots there have me spoiled.
Most steakhouses are closed Sunday night. It's been 20-years since I went to Del Frisco’s. Comments?
I've kicked around Jack Fry's, Corbett's and Varanese. Actually Village Anchor would work but they close at 9pm.
Pat's would be great, but closed on Sunday. Corbett's is definitely for VIP clients/guests. Jeff Ruby's is open on Sunday, and has wonderful drinks and steaks (although it can get noisy, but less likely on a Sunday). I would go for Ruby's or Corbett's, personally.
If Marketplace is open, I'd go there with VIPs. Not a steakhouse, but great steak, plus fantastic Italian, and some amazing other choices ; menu changes -you can check on-line. Great vibe for customer entertaining- upscale but relaxed- not stuffy, And is it the best patio in town! Deb

OK, while I still like Corbett's and/or Ruby's, Deb is right about Marketplace. It's a unique vibe with wonderful food, relaxed and quiet. While just as unique as the others, it'll also save you some $$$! My only possible qualification is that if they're down on reservations they sometimes close the main dining area, and you eat in the bar (definitely not bad! just be advised)
