Harrison-smith House - Bardstown

What an exceptional night. Perfect fall evening in the garden with a special cocktail and appetizer of hush puppies and meatball. So perfect then into the fabulous dining room where all the magic began. Than you Chef and staff fir a memorable evening do special with this incredible group of friends

Great great bourbon selection in a historic building. Great place to unwind after a day of shopping in Historic Bardstown.

Newman and the staff here always do a fantastic job with imagining up unique and approachable dishes for their private dining experiences. We recently visited for a friend’s 40th birthday and had about 1/3 of the guests who had been before and 2/3 who this was their first time. There was not a single person who didn’t love the food they were provided and multiple accommodations were made for the group’s dietary needs. Amazing experience time and again!

Pop Ups are amazing. We got to go through the kitchen as we had a wheelchair. Met the chef! Amazing food and affordable.

Am writing this as I recover from what was one of the most decadent, delicious and personalized dining experiences I’ve had in years. Newman Smith, Spencer and Harrison made my husband’s birthday celebration one he and our friends will always remember. Some tips for making this an amazing experience: (1) give Newman the reins and let him plan the meal. We had complete confidence, knowing we’d given him a few lesser desired ingredients and boy did he not disappoint. (2) Whatever you do, hope (pray) he’ll prep an old fashioned. It was one of the best cocktails of the entire trip. (3) Don’t eat all day. Trust me, there’s more food than you can possibly consume and Every. Single. Thing. was amazing. I’d hope for a special occasion it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
