A great distillery tour 5 stars

Travel Tip: Woodford Reserve Distillery

The official distilled spirit of the United States is Bourbon. Many people confuse Bourbon as synonymous with whiskey, but not so- all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. And not... [more]

Good food, great bar 4 stars

Restaurant Review: Proof on Main
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

I always like it when restaurants put a lot of effort into their bars instead of just buying some alcohol as an afterthought. Proof has such amazing cocktails that I'd go there even if I didn't... [more]

Beautiful place 5 stars

Restaurant Review: Palermo Viejo
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This restaurant is a combination of Italian and Spanish and Argentinean, with some Mediterranean flavours thrown in as well. I would say the emphasis is definitely on Argentinean, and as it turned... [more]

This was actually a restaurant that was in the Hilton hotel where our friends were staying, and after they had a good meal their they invited us to give it a try. Priority seating is given to... [more]

Good and unusual 4 stars

Café Review: Mayan Café
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This was a very interesting lunch to say the least. I'm not really familiar with Mayan food, so the menu was all new to me. The appetisers were the only familiar thing, and the seafood bisque was... [more]

Perfect Asian cuisine 5 stars

Restaurant Review: Asiatique
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant. It's not any particular cuisine - I think they just call it "Pacific Rim" and leave it at that. The menu is heavy on seafood, naturally, but there are a... [more]

Expensive rip-off 2 stars

Restaurant Review: 610 Magnolia
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This place is extremely expensive, and I can't figure out what is supposed to be so special about it. Sure, the menu is nice and the service is okay, but when a meal costs more than $100 per... [more]

Romantic and heavenly 5 stars

Restaurant Review: De La Torre's
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

Two words: lobster paella. This is not your standard Spanish food. It is well above and beyond, like a turbo version of Spanish. The entire menu is like that, Spanish favourites with a wonderful... [more]

Cuban food 3 stars

Restaurant Review: Havana Rumba
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

By far this is not even close to the best Cuban restaurant I've ever eaten at, but for Kentucky it's pretty good, and the food is certainly passable. They do a lot of fusion cuisine, which is... [more]

Pizza plus extras 4 stars

Restaurant Review: Café Lou Lou
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

It's kind of hard to describe this restaurant - it's Italian food, but it's sort of cajun as well. The menu is a refreshing comination of pizza, pasta dishes, and some bayou favourites. The bar... [more]

Decent quality 4 stars

Restaurant Review: El Mundo
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This restaurant is kind of a cross between self-service and regular service. You seat yourself and go to the counter when you're ready to order, and they bring the food out to you. The dining... [more]

Better for breakfast 3 stars

Café Review: Lynn's Paradise Café
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This is a crazy, eclectic place that relies on outlandish decor to make up for mediocre food. It is an unusual experience to eat there, and it's certainly a great place to take kids, but I... [more]

Tapas and more 4 stars

Restaurant Review: Mojito's Tapas Restaurant
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This is a tapas restaurant that, oddly, seems to specialise in burgers of all things. My friend did try a burger, and he agreed it was one of the best he'd ever had. We also had some more...
