The At Willett - Bardstown

Had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Bar at Willett. Cocktails were great. Some of the best food I have eaten in my life. The egg salad sandwich changed my life and I will be thinking about it every day until I have a chance to eat it again. Jason was our waiter during out visit and he might have been the best part of the entire experience. Amazingly professional and next level when it came to customer service. Knew the food and drink menu like the back of his hand. He went above and beyond to clarify which items were vegetarian friendly.

Greg the bartender was simply fantastic. His attention and great attitude is wonderful. Extremely good drinks. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The egg salad sandwich was the most amazing thing I've ever had! 10/10 recommend. Also tried the Brussels sprouts and cheese plate. All were good. Appreciated the little kings on the drinks menu! Such a pretty place and would definitely go again.

Two years ago we came to Willet Distillery for a tour and had heard to check out the bar and restaurant upstairs. Unfortunately they were booked up and had a very long wait plus we had other tour to make it to so we had to pass. Two years later were back and made sure to make a reservation ahead of time. We came in at 11:00AM for an early lunch and were quickly seated. Our waiter made sure to explain the menu to us. Most options are smaller shareable servings and the 5-7 should be enough for our party of 5. I started with a drink and went with the Manhattan. Now I know I normally go with an Old Fashioned but I really like the Willet 4 year Rye they put in the Manhattan so that's what I stuck with. I'm glad I did too because it was great. Probably the best I have had. We then started with food: Local Cheeses: Your typically cheeseboard but with some fancy addons like Dijon Mustards, Onion Marmalade, Apple Butter and come of the best crackers I have ever had so light and crispy. The Rock Shrimp:; Not very large but so full of flavor. For sure some of the best I have had. There also was a corn puree that was so good that came with it. For sure worth a try. Crawfish Beignets: When you see something like this on a menu I always have to go for them. Nice pieces of Crawfish throughout plus a great Remoulade for dipping. Brussel Sprouts : Now I'm normally not a veggie let alone a Brussel Sprouts but these were very good. If you like brussels these are a must for you. The Crepe: This was the most surprising dish we got because it blew us out of the water. It was amazing. Stuffed with rich melty cheese and topped with Pepper Jelly it is for sure a must. The Chicken Thigh: This was also amazing. Crispy bites of Chicken Thigh covers in Calabrian Chili, Lime, and Honey. Give a great sweet and spicy vibe. Reminded of some Asian dishes I have had but better qualify. This so also a must. Egg Salad Sandwich: Now I had never had an Egg Salad Sandwich mostly because I didn't think I would like them but this changed the game for me. It was amazing and so flavorful. This is a/the staple of The Bar at Willet so you have to give it a try even if you don't think an Egg Salad Sandwich is your thing. The Bar at Willet is amazing and I will for sure be coming back next time we are in Kentucky.

Egg salad was phenomenal, everything was great, of note.... The olives, if you order those they're not pitted. For the price I would've thought they would be, but the thing I wish I had known before ordering them.... They're hot. They come to the table piping, temperature, hot. Odd for an olive. Still tasty, just never had hot olives.
