This dining experience was an amazing event: we walked in and were met by the host who said they were waiting for my wife as it was her birthday! We were seated and met by our server “MJ” who knew the menu all by heart. She shared what she liked on the menu and was charming throughout the meal. Everything we chose was over the top satisfying. We left very satisfied! The ambiance was great as well. That’s what I call an “event”. No complaints in any aspect of this meal, the staff, the food, and the sincerity of this restaurant. Thanks. We will be back.

We dined on our 40th anniversary and our experience was impeccable from our waiter Jamie to the best meal we have ever had!!! We have had many food experiences in our lives as dining out is one of our hobbies and Brenden’s has to be in our top 3 restaurants ever. Jamie as well as all of the other staff made us feel like royalty. Their attention to detail was incredible. They even made us a special menu with a happy anniversary message that was personalized!! The food was top notch delicious!!! Love Brenden’s!!!

The space and ambiance at Brendon's Catch 23 was excellent. My wife and I went for our anniversary and our server, Jaime, surprised us with personalized menus to take home as mementos. The food was satisfactory, although I should have gone with Jaime's recommendation for the Chilean Sea Bass. My wife ordered a steak and said it was one of the best she had ever had!

We had the best time last night trying the suggestions for entrees and appetizers from our favorite server Yasmine. You must try the Chilean Seabass…absolutely amazing!!! Yasmine made our dinner delightful from her suggestions, attentive service, and thoughtful follow up. It was my first time at this restaurant. We will definitely return soon.

Perfection from the moment we entered the restaurant! The bartender was knowledgeable and personable. When it was time for our reservation, we were seated by the welcoming host, and greeted by our two servers. They explained the menu, and wine list, told us some popular dishes, and proceeded to “wow” us with each dish we had chosen. We had the halibut and sea bass - both were delicious and prepared perfectly. The beignets with cappuccino and espresso ended the evening on a sweet note. Our servers were very attentive, but not intrusive. Do not miss this gem in Louisville!

The food was amazing ! No complaints:) However our waitress seemed to be rushing us from the start, then when asked for dessert my boyfriend asked for a bowl of strawberries and was told just “no”. Reminded you we had sparkling water with strawberries in them. My boyfriend asked another person and the waitress came back to tell him “well I said no because they are expensive for not great strawberries” - our meal cost over $300 - I think we can pay extra for strawberries, just don’t be rude and tell us no. It was Mother’s Day and I understand it was busy, but to pay that much and be treated a little poorly in my opinion was sad.

First time visiting. Craft cocktails were amazing with house made syrups and bitters. The seafood was incredibly fresh. I love the open kitchen - nothing to hide. My wife had the lemongrass halibut. I had the scallops with risotto. Perfect cook on everything! A little pricey but worth it for a date night or other special dinner.

The best place that we ate at during our recent visit to Louisville. The service was very personable and attentive. We had the tuna which was one of the best preparations we've ever had. Also excellent waas the Buttercake Desert with Bourboan icecream. Will definitely return if ever in Louisvile again.
