Review | Milkwood
By Marty Rosen, Special to The Courier-Journal - May 16, 2013
“Comfort food with an Asian pantry.” That’s how Edward Lee describes the cuisine at Milkwood, the restaurant he opened this spring at Actors Theatre of Louisville.
Review: Little Jerusalem Cafe
Marty Rosen - May 9, 2013
Barghoti brings a deft visual touch to his plates, and even his simplest dishes are alluring
Review: Game
By Marty Rosen - May 2, 2013
With Game, chefs Burress and Mucerino — who once worked together with chef Anthony Lamas at Seviche — have carved out yet another distinctive niche.
Review: Kayrouz
Marty Rosen - April 18, 2013
Fresh flowers, fresh sauces, freshly made everything, and servers who aren’t fresh, but have the fortune-teller’s gift of knowing exactly what you’re going to want and getting it to you before you think to ask.
Review: River City Winery
Marty Rosen - April 11, 2013
The crab cakes aren’t quite as big as a baseball. But they’re close. And they make much better eating.
Review: Quattro
Marty Rosen - April 4, 2013
Quattro (the Italian name invokes the street) is a new and promising addition to that scene; it’s a place with a great look and feel, a carefully considered culinary program, and a very fine chef at the helm.
Review: Sisters Tea Parlor

Review: hiko-A-mon
Marty Rosen - March 21, 2013
When hiko-A-mon opened, some five years ago, it impressed me more for its stylish appointments — menus printed on tissue-thin paper, a sushi bar formed from deep green marble, glowing aquariums and furnishings of burnished wood — than for the quality of the food.
Review: Momma's BBQ
Marty Rosen - March 14, 2013
Is there anything more suspenseful for a diner than the first meal at a new barbecue joint?
Review: Banh Mi Hero
Marty Rosen - March 7, 2013
Banh mi sandwiches are a pretty handy example of the good things culinary fusion brings to the table.
