Limestone Restaurant Restaurant Review

: Limestone pays homage to the mineral-rich soil in which so much Kentucky produce grows, not to mention its role in the sweet water used in bourbon-making. Chef-owner Jim Gerhardt takes advantage of regional seasonal ingredients, but there are always some menu constants. Among these are Kentucky burgoo (a savory, thick stew of meats and vegetables), shrimp and grits garnished with crispy country ham and red-eye gravy, and truffle mac ‘n’ cheese (with Gouda, crawfish and bacon). Among the Southern-accented entrées are Gulf Shores bouillabaisse, Kentucky chicken Cordon Bleu, and a bourbon-smoked rib-eye. Multi-course menu options, with and without wine pairings, include "Feed Me Light" (a three-course tasting menu) and "Feed Me Chef" (five courses, and if you order after 9 p.m., the wine pairings, quite remarkably, are free). Pistachio chocolate chip bread pudding and espresso cheesecake are paradoxically light and rich. On Monday nights, any appetizer, entrée or side that is "grilled" is half price.
