 Jack Fry's Restaurant Review: Live jazz piano, the rattle of cocktail shakers, the clink of glasses, and black and white photos chronicling the history of this former speakeasy, named for its bookie and bootlegger proprietor, all contribute to the atmosphere at Jack Fry's. Servers wear black aprons and ties. The tables wear white linens. The menu sets the standard for Louisville's fine dining. Start with shrimp and grits with country ham, shiitake mushrooms and red-eye gravy; pan-seared foie gras with apples and Calvados syrup; or diver scallops with Kentucky Bibb lettuce and brown butter sauce. The roasted beet salad contains Kentucky arugula, Indiana goat cheese rolled in pistachios and herbs and shallot citrus vinaigrette. Standout entrées include lamb chops with rosemary jus, ravioli stuffed with Kentucky country ham and cheeses, halibut prepared with orange and grapefruit confit, and a 12-ounce center cut pork chop for which you will not need a meat knife. Elegant, rich desserts range from crème caramel or chocolate terrine to an ever-changing selection of house-made ice creams and cookies. The wine list has both breadth and depth with more than 100 bottles and about 30 choices by the glass. The burger, a reliable lunch choice, is also on the dinner menu in case you just want to eat at the bar and listen to the jazz. |
