Bistro La Belle

This location is closed for good. Such a shame

We had dinner here in October and loved it! Very good!

I ate here last fall, during opening weekend of Keeneland, and had a phenomenal time. The atmosphere is upscale but informal (sort of a microcosm of Midway in general); even though the place was lively, I still felt like we had some decent privacy at our table.
The food was delicious, but perhaps on the pricey side for what it was. The bruschetta appetizer was very nice, and I enjoyed the shrimp and grits very much as well. The wine list was mostly unfamiliar to me, but was reasonably priced, and I enjoyed the selection we ended up settling on (J Vineyards Pinot Gris) a great deal. Dessert — a crème brûlée — was excellent. Service was A+ across the board — prompt, friendly, engaging, and fun!
Overall, highly recommended if you find yourself in Midway, but be prepared for a little bit of sticker shock. Five stars for food and service, minus 1 star for prices, so 4 stars.
