The Wine Studio

Dined here in early July. The food is to die for (especially a curry-style dish on the menu when we visited), the service is excellent (and not too hurried), and the ambiance is charming. The bread is also out of this world. The wine pairings also nicely complement the food, and the desserts are definitely worth having (especially the drunken banana cake). It is one of the nicest special occasion restaurants in Louisville. One caveat of interest to certain diners is the restaurants lax policy on pets. When we dined there, another table came in with a small dog. It wasn't a service or support dog because the diners kept passing it around the table, and even that table's server petted it. The dog's presence didn't bother us (it was well-behaved and quiet), but I could see some diners not enjoying dinner with a dog at the next table.

Wow! Great dining experience. Come as you are and be welcomed to a unique combination of high end food and exceptional service.

Chef Lee’s tasting only menu restaurant is well worth finding in Old Louisville. The atmosphere is cozy and dark and invites you to linger longer. The food is everything we’d hoped, creative and delicious. The Manhattan cocktail was a nice fun surprise presented with a liquid smoke bubble to pop! Visit and visit often.

This was more of an experience than a dinner and everything about it was exceptional. There were 3 of us and between the group, we sampled each of the selections on the prix fix menu. All were beautifully prepared, creative and delicious. Our waiter was knowledgeable, professional but laid back. This type of restaurant could easily be pretentious, but nothing about the evening felt that way. Each course was described when it was delivered which was fun. Although I don’t think this experience is for everyone, I will definitely return during another season to see what else Chef Lee will create.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had food this good with service this spot-on. 610 Magnolia is a tasting menu only restaurant, which meant 5 courses the night we went. Every dish was enjoyable, especially the pork loin with pork belly. The wine pairing added an extra ounce of awesome, and was worth the splurge. But the best part was the service. Our server instantly felt like an old friend, and those that helped him made the evening feel like we were hanging out at a friend’s house. Thank you all for making our birthday evening so spectacular!
