Last night we were doing some post-Christmas shopping out at Oxmoor and decided to grab a bite while we were out. So we headed into St. Matthews and down Frankfort Ave to The Patron. We had dinner there a couple months ago and really enjoyed ourselves and decided to go for a repeat performance.
The place was about half full at 9:00 pm when we arrived and so we were seated right away. The wait staff was excellant, our server was attentive but didn't hover. The 2 page menu has a fairly wide range of options but the shopping trip must have dulled our interest in experimentation, my wife, son, and I all ordered the burger with blue cheese. My son did order a blue cheese ceaser salad (I guess he needed a blue cheese fix).
The burger was wonderful...perfect portion size. The fries on the side had a horseradish catsup for some zing. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best burgers we've had out in quite a while. My 13 y/o son noted that the salad was a bit dry and could have used a bit more dressing.
My wife and I split a nice inexpensive French syrah for $26. No wines over $35 I think. We split a decadent chocolate tort for desert.
All in all a great meal that felt upscale but was easy on the wallet. We shall return.
