Equus Restaurant. - Louisville

Wonderful service and a great meal. Although Equus had recently been renamed the Black Rabbit and had a limited menu, we were all able to find something we thoroughly enjoyed. Our guest who was celebrating her 80th Birthday was given a free dessert with an appropriate lighted candle and extra staff attention. Perfect cap to the evening!

Love the Chicken and Kale it is delicious service great atmosphere good love dining outst

I honestly don 't know where to begin! The ambience? The food? The service? All were excellent, mind blowing! I had the short rib with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The short ribs were very tender and flavorful, the gravy and mashed potatoes pushed me further into cuisine Heaven. And the brussel sprouts, 'oh my God! Now that I think about it my husband devoured the Kale and he never eats vegetables. As a cook himself he was surprised to see vegetables almost steal the show. He had the fried chicken, which was so juicy and crispy. Perfection! The gravy added a unique flavor. He substituted the mashed potatoes with the cheese grits and described the switch as genius. The idea to celebrate my Birthday here was genius. Plus the free birthday dessert (carrot cake) was amazing. The service was on point and the drinks were wonderful on the speak easy side. All in all so much bang for your buck! Fine dining without fine dining prices. This place is an experience with great cuisine. One of the best dining experiences in Louisville.

Another true gem of St Matthews. I'm not a kale fan. But I am now after having this dish! The fried chicken was cooked perfectly not greasy, not dry.... Just prepared perfectly. I see why it's been a staple on their menu. The kale is the perfect side with the chicken and mashed. A true bite of chicken with kale dipped in mashed potatoes with gravy. Amazing! Wedge salad was very good! Dressing was perfect. Cannot wait to try more from the menu!

So... I went back to Equus Jack's lounge yesterday evening and I must say. I really enjoy the atmosphere and the food. I once again sat at the bar and the service Carey provided was above and beyond. If you have not enjoyed a meal at the bar I highly recommend it. Carey might as well be a bartender at Cheers, no matter who walked in, he knew their name and their drink! Every. Single. Person! This was only my second time and he remembered me. I felt at home and if it I was part of his daily bar crew. I intentionally made myself order something different from my last visit so I could provide additional feedback. This time I ordered the wings for my appetizer and I ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The winds were awesome the hot sauce was the perfect combination or heat and flavor and the actual chicken wings (flats and drumettes) were meaty with low fat and they were juicy with the skin still slightly crunchy under the sauce. I should have stopped halfway but the wings were so good I at them all! The fried chicken was a fried chicken breast you have got to trust me when I say this may be the best fried chicken I have ever had at a restaurant in Louisville! Let me tell you about this chicken! The chicken skin and batter was extremely crunchy and the flavor of the fried skin was a perfect blend of spices and grease lastly the chicken itself was extremely juicy. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy unfortunately the mashed potatoes were still bland AF but just like last time Cary provide me a little ramekin full of specific spices I requested and the potatoes were perfection. The Brussels Sprouts were divine! I think that bake and then flash fry them and top them with Parmesan cheese. I love these. I could literally eat these every day and never get tired of them they are so good. This is going to be my new spot! From now own whenever I return home, I will eat here at least once during my time home!
