RiVue

by Danny E. » Fri May 04, 2007 9:05 am

Looks like the Galt House is revamping their restaurants. I must say, the Galt House has really changed for the better in the past few years. I'm really impressed with it...plus it's locally owned.

Hmm ... the proof of the pudding, of course, is in the eating. Curious that this news broke on a Lexington TV station. I was just commenting in another thread that the Galt House appears to have retained a PR firm based in Cincinnati ... maybe they don't know the difference between Lexington and Louisville?

Sounds interesting, but those prices are out there. I always thought the Flagship was the most overpriced restaurant in town.

Still in the 80's

No matter how "new" they try to make, it the wording of the menu still takes you back to the 80's. How many times are the words; served, topped, and accompanied by used? And prices may be a little high, but you have to remember its a Hotel.

I met someone after work one day last week for a glass of wine in the new "atrium" looking space that connects the two GHs. I was very disappointed in how casual it is, including the furniture and fixtures. My impression was it would be very upscale, but I'm not sure why I thought so. However, I echo the previous comment about how thankful I am that the Mosley family has spent so much on capital improvements there in recent years.

I played and sang in the new bar there a couple times...it might be nice for a casual drink, etc, but it's not set up at all for any entertainment, which is a shame. The roof leaked the whole time, and as soon as the sun set the place was pitch dark! Nobody knew how to adjust the lighting nor if they could. I couldn't even see the controls on my keyboard.
If any musicians read this, be sure you take your own lighting ! It would be a great place for an occasional ballroom dance.

I am hired as a server for the RiVue which will be opening in June and I have worked in a few fine dining restaurants in the city. The new restaurant is breathtaking and gorgeous and I do believe it will definately take the city of Louisville by surprise. The innovative motif is something one can only experience in larger cities like Chicago and NYC and the cuisine compliments it as well. I assure you everyone should be "waiting on the edge of their seat" for the RiVue to open. :)
