| Buck’s is partly a neighborhood hangout for Old Louisville, where beautiful Victorian residences line the streets, and part fine-dining restaurant. The menu is of the standard American vintage, with appetizers such as bacon-wrapped shrimp and oysters Rockefeller, classic Caesar and Kentucky Bibb lettuce salads, and, among the entrées, beef tenderloin Boursin and a bourbon-scented pork chop. Slightly more adventurous dishes include the spicy (and they mean it) Cantonese noodles made with chicken, shrimp or beef, a coffee and cocoa-encrusted rack of lamb, and grilled tuna with sun-dried tomato tapenade and spinach almond purée. Desserts change nightly, but the mocha dacquoise is as close to a signature dessert as one gets. The wine list features familiar, well-priced selections, with several big ticket choices (Opus One, Caymus), and offers numerous by-the-glass options. Weather permitting, enjoy cocktails on the tree covered patio overlooking the historic neighborhood. |
