LouVino Douglass Hills Restaurant & Wine Bar

Everything was delicious and very well prepared. Our server was fantastic. We had other plans that fell through, so we walked in an hour before close - it was no issue. I will definitely be returning. That strawberry sorbet was amazing.

Erin was our server tonight and she was so sweet! She was such a kind person, such a conversationalist and high-key a sommelier - she made us feel like a friend and so comfortable learning new things about wine. And he food and atmosphere were great but I would come back simply because she was the epitome of someone I’d want to be around. GIVE HER A RAISE! AND. GUESTS, GIVE HER ALL YOUR TIPS! Good luck in Indy on your internship - you’re gonna do great!

Our experience was definitely worth 5 stars. We were celebrating a birthday, and although we didn't make a big deal about that, every part of our dining experience was fantastic. We had a reservation, seated promptly, server was fantastic, all appetizers and drinks were good, and dinner was tasty. Portions are not huge, but you definitely won't leave hungry! Will definitely visit again!

We’ve had brunch, lunch and dinner!! Multiple times.

I’ll review LouVino a bit differently. I won’t get into the weeds because we’ve been there enough AND taken other couples that we truly embrace this place. The menu can be daunting if you have a picky eater but we enjoy the occasional twist on a typical entree. We’ve never been disappointed nor have our guests. At lunch the have 50% off bottle of wine but they only double the normal wine price. Many place triple it or more. So you can find a wine you’ve wanted to try for the same price as buying it around the corner at a liquor store. The cooking, hosting, wait and bus staff understand how to serve. We haven’t adopted any of them but we have considered it. ;-)

Overall, you won’t be disappointed, nor will any guests you have. It’s run correctly. I’m just sorry we only discovered it six years ago. Why didn’t someone tell me? ;-)

LouVino is definitely one of my favorite places to dine.
Most of the servers are great, the atmosphere is nice. I love that the chefs will still make the salmon dish the way they had before the new change recently for me. It's very accommodating and I really appreciate it.

The wine and dessert are always amazing too.
We love coming to LouVino and will continue.

Brunch was great! Inside is beautiful and they have nice outdoor seating. Food and drinks were fantastic! I highly recommend the Guava Margarita and Chorizo Burrito!

First Time Diners

Executive Chef – Jackson Skelton did a cooking class we attended and while preparing the dishes he talked about LouVino and since we had never been we decided to try a Friday evening dinner with reservations. I really didn't know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. One of our favorite small plate restaurants had recently closed and we were on the lookout for a new dining venue and the selections we made including dessert were delicious and well portioned. Toasted Ravioli, Black Bean Enchiladas – Vegetarian, Seared Scallops followed by dessert. The waitress informed us the the Black Bean Enchiladas were spicy and I have yet to order a enchilada anywhere that we were forewarned about spice and we thought how spicy could it be? Spicy to me is if it makes me cry, well, I did not cry but I was so happy to finally have a enchilada with mole that would let me know it had some kick to it. We are going back for the enchiladas without a doubt!! The service was timely and the wait staff attentive. The food is delicious and the small plates are plenty for two adults. We ordered three small plates which left room for dessert. Needless to say we are so happy we attended the cooking class and learned about LouVino since we now have a new small plates venue to dine.

This is not a small plates place. Definitely full meals and not stuff you can share. Other than the appetizers that is. I think it’s misrepresented on Google and likely should be changed. The menu is great though! Definitely worth a visit while you’re in Louisville. I don’t think this location is for tourist though. It’s in the middle of a neighborhood area and very clearly a family type setting. When we walked in, a bunch of outsiders, we definitely got looked at. So maybe stick to the downtown location if you’re not from Louisville but it’s still worth a visit.

Had a wonderful experience at LouVino last night, I tried their caramelized onions and goat cheese dip, the tots and the Brussels sprouts: 10/10 I highly recommend! Also our server was so kind, the young man in the bar area serving the booths was amazing!

10/10 would recommend.
Adam was a phenomenal waiter and took very good care of our party
Food was excellent (I got the airline chicken) and the atmosphere was very chill. I loved this place and it was my first time going. I’ll be back.

Small menu, maybe 25 items, and each one is 10/10. Just a really fantastic meal, good service and relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Great food and great service! Our server, Haley, was very attentive without being intrusive! We have come to rely on them as a go-to place for a great experience for just the two of us, and larger groups. Keep up the great work!!

This place is great! If you're looking for a little more upscale lunch or dinner spot. A veggie or patty melt (with sides) run about $12. Great service and atmosphere. We will be back!

Came here for brunch with my wife and a few of our friends. Atmosphere was great and the vibes were good. I got biscuits ‘N gravy with a side of loaded tots. My wife got Pancake Tacos and said she loved them. Food was great. The loaded tots are a MUST GET. We will come back again!

We had Sunday Brunch. Brunch is probably my favorite meal and they did it justice. The food was delectable. The pineapple upside down mimosa was fabulous. I also had to try the Kentucky coffee and while the whip was literally over the top and made it a bit messy, it was a welcomed mess. The cinnamon flavors were delicious without being overstated and you could still notice the bourbon without it feeling too pronounced as I have a sensitive palate. Their servings were perfectly proportional leaving me feeling neither unsatisfied nor needing to bring home a doggy bag. I enjoyed eating outside, the atmosphere was light and pleasant. I plan on returning to this establishment because there were many items in their lunch menu that left me wanting, however they won't serve them on a weekend bunch. Good thing too, otherwise I might have let my hedonistic appetite get the better of me. Our server, Roy, was fun and amiable. I enjoyed his prompt service and upbeat demeanor. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves Brunch as much as I do. Wonderful place to come and enjoy a bite and a very welcoming atmosphere here in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky.

Hosted a work event here. The menu and service were great! Highly recommend the hot brussels sprouts salad! I could eat that every day.

Decent food. Pricey, for what you get, imo, but your dollar will get you a round of utmost customer service… truly excellent service.

New menu looks fun and delicious. The seafood risotto was a little bland. Miss the mushroom risotto. The airline chicken was spectacular. Breading and gravy was on point. Great service as always!

Truly a dining experience! Order 2-3 items per person. Best are the duck fat fries and the mini filet mignon. Awesome selection of wines too, do a flight with the cheese pairing!

Fantastic meal. Had the 4 course Chef's Tasting Menu with the wine pairing. Highly recommend!!!
