    Nice atmosphere and great food. This was my first visit to Porcini but I'm definitely up for another. We had the goat cheese appetizer and shared a bottle of Dragon white wine. Entrees were all enjoyed - salmon, chicken, and red snapper. Then there was the tiramisu! Highly recommend it all.

    A very good restaurant if you want to go with your family and have a great time, impeccable service, unbeatable food. I highly recommend this place. Just to point out that the menu is not updated on the OpenTable app. But that doesn't take away from the restaurant, which is one of the best I have visited in Louisville.

    Pleasant dining experience overall. Food was very, very good. The whipped feta appetizer was amazing. My mother said the Greek salad was the best she has ever had. My husband loved the curry salmon entree. The gender neutral bathroom was clean. Went on a Wednesday at 5:30pm so there were only two other tables seated. The music was holiday tunes that were sometimes too loud for the number of people in the restaurant. I had trouble hearing my mother from across the table, and she definitely had trouble hearing us. I didn’t like having to raise my voice to have a conversation. The prices for beer, bourbon, and wine were high, in my opinion. Angels Envy for $18 seems a bit much. Otherwise, great service and great food. Will very likely go back again.
