If I had to rate Brendon’s Catch 23 it was definitely a 10/10! I’m so glad me and my husband decided to celebrate our anniversary dining at this place. The atmosphere was nice! Everything was well worth it from the tasty apps to the cocktails. My lemon drop was made just right! The buttered crab is a MUST try! Along with the wedge salad which paired perfectly. For main course I decided on the Chilean sea bass which melt in your mouth! And husband decided on the filet mignon. We will definitely be back!

It was our first visit to Brendon’s and it won’t be the last! Everything about the experience was top-notch. The Calamari was fresh, tender and well prepared. The Sea Bass Arancini was nice, however we preferred the calamari. Cocktails are handcrafted and very good. We tried the margarita and the smoked old fashioned. $25 for the old fashioned, which is prepared table side creates a nice experience, but not one we’d repeat for the price. The margarita was nice. The Salmon, Shrimp and Sea Bass were all perfectly prepared and the Butter Cake was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and Brendon’s made it a special occasion, which was thoughtful and nice. Jaime, our server, was exceptionally good. Professional, friendly with wonderful suggestions and great timing, we didn’t feel rushed at all. It was a very nice evening. Thanks Brendon’s and thanks Jaime!!!!

What an amazing place to eat! Atmosphere is relaxing and cool! I’ve eaten here 6 times and have yet to have 1 single complaint. Food is cooked to perfection. I’ve had Jamie 3 times as a waiter and he’s been awesome every time fills drinks at half full and always answers our questions with kindness and attention! Hands down I’d eat here over any restaurant in Louisville!

Food was great, filets cooked perfect, my husband loved his table side made Smoked Old Fashioned. Our server Josh hustled around that restaurant all night for his tables & made nice recommendations for drinks and desserts we would like. Restaurant is very pretty & has a nice ambiance.

Visiting town and we found them for dinner. Joshua was our waiter and he did a fantastic job of making sure every aspect of the meal was perfect. It goes without saying at a place like this that the steak was excellently seasoned, prepared to a perfect temperature and presented well (and we loved the fact that the restaurant refuses to cook any steak “well done”). We had the yellowfin tuna entree as well along with a wedge salad and calamari starter. We ended the meal with the butter cake and bourbon ice cream which was amazing. Great wine list, bourbons and a delicious house special old fashioned. Well worth the money.

Our server (Wes) went above and beyond to make sure when I only had everything we needed but our experience was top-notch!

Excellent dinner. We had the oysters, Caesar salad, fried lobster and seabass. Our server Jaime, was an incredible host, giving us direction as well as conversation in English and Spanish through the evening. His recommendation of the butter cake for 2 for dessert was spot on. This place is a must if you visit Louisville, even better if you ask for Jaime.

One of my favorite restaurants in Louisville. Our server, Jaime, was exceptional. Professional, funny, properly attentive and knowledgeable. He provided some great direction regarding drink and meal choices. We had the fried lobster tails and Chilean Sea Bass - both were wonderfully prepared. I would highly recommend Brendon's Catch 21 for a special occasion or just a nice meal out.

After many satisfying meals this may be our last visit. Value is absolutely gone, prices are sky high. I get it, inflation is everywhere, but my wife and I are in tune with those increases at other fine dining establishments. The price hikes at Brendon’s Catch 23 really stood out - in a bad way. Quality has slipped as well. Hard to pay top dollar and get a mediocre meal. Too many other great places to spend our money.

The food and service were outstanding. Best Old Fashions we have ever had. Wesley, our waiter made excellent recommendations that we really enjoyed and was very attentive. Starters were shrimp cocktail and tuna tartare. Both were tasty and presented well. The scallops and split pea risotto were delicious. My husband had the small fillet and added a crab cake. Both were done to perfection. We finished dinner with the decadent butter cake with bourbon ice cream, which is a must for dessert. We will be back again soon.

This was a return visit to Brendon's for my wife's favorite dish, the whole fried catfish. We also enjoyed being served by Jaime who is an outstanding server. He is not only attentive, but a very warm and welcoming representative of the restaurant. In fact, we probably come to Brendon's as much for Jaime's high quality of service as for the food. Coming into downtown Louisville from the suburbs where we live is a definite choice and we do that for both the outstanding treatment we receive from Jaime, the staff and management as well as the top quality food. Please keep up the good work and we hope to see you again soon.
