Husband celebrated his 45th Birthday
The service was terrible. The steak Frites was missing the steak! Med rare steaks were Med well. Drink orders were missed. It was sad not sure it was Covid related to server interruptions or what. The Manager apologised but no alteration of the very expensive bill.
The food, service and atmosphere is phenomenal. Matt Winn will become a destination for all things Louisville.
Food was excellent but the steak portions were very petite compared to other upscale restaurants. Our waiter was fabulous and my Lemondrop martini was yummy!
Every member of the staff with whom we came in contact seemed to be laser-focused on making out dining experience unforgettable & quite remarkable
Extremely enjoyable evening, we will be back soon! Bentley our server was Perfect!
Everything was super nice. The food was good. Except my partner got sick when we got home abs still I’ll. He thinks it was something in the food he ate.
Great time!
New Years Eve
We had a great experience at Matt Winns Steakhouse. The food and service was amazing. We will definitely be back.
The service was excellent. We loved the king crab and shrimp from the raw bar. My wife enjoyed the lobster bisque. The fried calamari was very good as well. We both had filet mignon. They were good, but not the best I have ever had. We had mushrooms, fried cauliflower, fries and mac n cheese. The fries were so crispy and delicious. We really liked the mushrooms and mac n cheese. Nobody at our table liked the cauliflower. I suggest that you pass on the cauliflower. All in all it was a great meal and a wonderful experience. Honestly, next time we go back I may concentrate on the raw bar, appetizers and sides rather than ordering a steak.
The ambiance is great and everyone treats you like a VIP.
It’s not a place that most people will go on a regular basis, but it’s definitely a place to go for a special occasion.
We will be back for sure.
You will not find a more enjoyable experience than Matt Winns
Very nice evening
1st time here. Restaurant is very nice on the inside very clean ambience is great service on the other hand need some attention
Everything from beginning to end was fantastic. The only thing I would recommend would be valet parking. But after you check in outside, you’re driven to the entrance doors via golf cart. Then you take a private elevator to the restaurant. Everything is simply beautiful when you exit the elevator. Tables are perfectly adorned. The chairs are super comfortable. The wait staff was fantastic. This was more than just a dinner, this was a full on dining experience. Absolutely loved it. Our servers were named Bentley and Tyler. They were wonderful. 5 stars all the way. The best dining experience in Louisville. I didn’t even mention the fact that the restaurant overlooks the track at Churchill downs, adding to ambiance of the place.
Sides were too rich in flavor - cauliflower - potatoes - macaroni cheese. Steaks were flavorful and cooked to perfection . Drinks with bourbon were delicious . The sides were disappointing and not very good .
Matt Winn’s knows how to make a night special. Starting with a call from the concierge, then the golf cart ride, to the red carpet and finally arrival at the welcoming entrance from the elevator. All this while being surrounded by the ambiance of Churchill Downs. The views are spectacular and the dining room is classic. Warm leather and wood with a old school bar. The cocktails and food were amazing, which was matched by the service. Be prepared for a dining experience. They take the time to do things right and for you to enjoy your conversation. If you want a quick in and out, you will need to let your server know. Make sure to save room for the dessert cart. The presentation is unique and fun. We will definitely be back.
The quality service was impeccable, very fine dining at a nostalgic place.
Waitress was not very familiar with the menu. We were not told about the rolling carts. Had to ask about them. Appetizer portions were not properly explained resulting in receiving 2 of the same. They were served lukewarm at best. My filet was maybe warm. Certainly wasnt the filet that I was expecting. Creamed spinach was ok. Declined dessert and called it a night. Will not be returning. Not even close to what we were expecting.
Second visit with a business group and it was even better than the 1st time around. The food is better than other similar priced places, the atmosphere enhances the experience and the service is very attentive, quick and you never have to look around for someone to help as they are always there awaiting your needs. I'm not sure why this place isn't booked two to three weeks in advance. Maybe it will take a little time for word of mouth to travel around but definitely will be a stop every time I'm in the area.
The food was so good. It was such a great experience
Loved it, only knock is finding the proper entrance and route to the restaurant. I would add signage. Other than that loved it!!!
We really enjoyed our reservation overall. Given that they’re a new restaurant (only open 3 months) we did encounter a few hiccups. I ordered a martini that was supposed to be garnished with lemon and olives but they missed the olives. All of the items listed to be available on the raw bar were not. We also ordered off the raw bar and boxed up more than half of it to bring it home and at the end of the night we didn’t receive the bag with our raw bar items in it. I was really saddened by this as I was looking forward to having it for dinner tonight! Also we ordered the sundae bar and while we got sauce we received no other toppings.
However, our waitress was wonderful, quality of the food was as well, and we loved the ambiance. Overall pleased just wish I would’ve received our leftovers as seafood tends to come at a premium at steakhouses.
Outstanding!!! Can’t wait to go back.
Everything was excellent
Everyone from the staff worked well together to make it a perfect night. Mr West took time to make sure we were taken care of. Thanks
Facility is beautiful. I’m sure it would be a a fun environment during live racing. Service was very attentive. The food was not good. Rather terrible in fact. For prices at that level, the food should be outstanding.I wanted it to be great, but I was very disappointed. I don’t think it will last unless the food improvs dramatically.
Great atmosphere and food. Celebrated my birthday top of our list for special occasions.
Excellent service and food!
We had the most incredible meal; everything from the ambience and service to the meal and pairings was top notch. Will definitely be going back for more!
Excellent experience and service. This is a beautiful restaurant that was both comfortable and elegant.
From reception through the main course, in fact the entire dining experience, venue included, was top-notch
Great overall visit! Loved everything about the restaurant! Was in total aww of the bourbon display!! Amazing experience! One thing I do have to say is. Don’t cut a grown mans steak!!!!!
Our experience at this restaurant was five star and Meg (Waitress) was wonderful!
Amazing! Our new favorite!
Boring vibe- nothing remarkable. Food fine but again, not remarkable. The rolling carts for oysters and desserts are a nice touch.
Wonderful service, great food and what a killer venue to have such an amazing restaurant! My food was perfect, my waitress and back waiter were stellar, and everyone at Matt Winns from the gate to the table showed my wife and I the best customer experience you could ever imagine. I came in town from Charleston SC to celebrate my birthday and WE know what exceptional dinning experiences are. This restaurant made them all look subpar! Thank you for letting me share my birthday with you and I’ll definitely be back when I make it back to horse and bourbon country!
Impeccable service from arrival to departure with beautiful surroundings throughout. Our amazing server David was well versed with suggestions and descriptions on both cocktail pairings and menu selections. All of our mains were cooked to requested temperature along with seasoned to perfection. We ordered starters , several sides and the gnocchi to share on top of our mains so plenty to take home at the end of the evening. The service carts, both seafood and dessert, were like nothing we had experienced in our travels. The evening was capped off with a wrapped bourbon ball to take home and a gift bag full of local goodies. We all cannot wait for a return visit in the very near future.
We highly recommend Matt Winn's Steakhouse. The service was absolutely wonderful, as was the food. The restaurant is beautiful and a great addition to Louisville's restaurant scene. We will definitely go back!
Recently opened and an excellent edition to Louisville's culinary experience, Matt Winn's sits atop Churchill Downs looking out across the track offering sweeping views of the grounds and a modest view of the city. We were actually lucky enough to enjoy a rather forceful autumn storm after watching the sunset while enjoying our meal. There is a superb selection of bourbon as well as wine and the bartenders & wait staff were amazing. Our food was succulent, timely, and in line cost wise with what you would expect from a top tier dinning establishment located in Louisville. We've already made plans to come back again and bring a couple more guests with us as this has jumped up into our top five within the city.
Matt Winn’s Steakhouse is now quintessential Louisville. If you have friends in from out of town, a special occasion, or just want to treat yourself to a fantastic meal - this is your place. The food, drinks, and service were all top notch. The ambiance and setting is impossible to replicate. I don’t write reviews often - but this one deserves the best. Thanks to the friendly staff and managers for treating us so well and ensuring our visit was a memorable one.
