We stopped here for lunch while touring the Bourbon Trail and enjoyed our meal. The setting was nice but comfortable and the food was solid. The watermelon caprese salad was very good and the fish and chips solid. Overall, we enjoyed our stop and go again.

I tell you what, if they had food this good in Louisville, I don't know where to find it. this was one of the most amazing experiences and welcoming ambiance we have ever seen anywhere. The food was the most creative take on southern cooking we had ever seen, and wondered who came up with such and amazing menu. we cant wait to come back very soon.

Quite possibly one of the greatest dining experiences of my life. Grace was our server and made the experience unforgettable with her welcoming charm. She was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. the food was extremely creative and well prepared. I ordered the pork chop entree and honestly, it's the best I have ever had anywhere. My wife had the baby back ribs as a starter and we were blown away with the unique preparation. Our cocktails were also top notch. The speed of service and the humor from the bartender rounded out the experience to make for the perfect Valentine's night out. If you haven't been to the red lion, you are missing out on a truly special experience.
Went for Valentine's Day, food was very good, people and service were excellent. Just couldn't justify the amount for the portions. I had the $75 Land and sea and left hungry.

The smashburger and fries were delicious. My friend ordered the chicken Caesar salad and she said it was wonderful as well. However, I gave only 4 stars overall due to little things like being told no complementary bread was available (?!) when we asked for some, so nothing to munch on while we waited for our food. Also, no working restrooms that day; and entrance to the dining room requires negotiating two steps which would be a problem for some people.

The Red Lion never fails to satisfy! The old fashioneds, whiskey sours, dinner....everything was great!! Wakefield Scearce is losing a gem.... But we'll find them whenever they land in the near future!!

We had the short rib risotto, filet and a side order of Brussels sprouts all of which were excellent. My only gripe was that all items were incorrectly priced on the menu, leading to small surprise when our check was delivered. Other than that, a fantastic experience!

I can't rave enough about The Red Lion at Science Hill. We went for Sunday brunch and not only was it delicious, the staff went out of their way to accommodate my son who has dietary restrictions. Great food! Great atmosphere! FANTASTIC customer service.

I loved the building and history. The dining room was a little chilly. It was a buffet and the food was on hot plates in pots. The food was cool, not even warm. The bill for 2 people ( no alcohol) was almost $100. There was an 18% buffet tax, state tax and sales tax. I was very disappointed.
Very nice experience. Lovely old building. Exceptional architecture. Did not like being taxed twice! Shelbyville applies a restaurant tax. Overall great experience and would recommend.

Our server Corey B was fantastic! Attentive and efficient without being intrusive. The double smash burger was so big I couldn't finish it all after sharing an appetizer. The blood orange old fashioned was as delightful as the entire experience. The only downfall was how cold the ladies restroom was.

Love this restaurant, food amazing. Staff great. Only issues was we were sitting next to the kitchen which was very noisy with the help talking very loud trying to maneuver around our chairs.

Extremely delicious lunch we foodies enjoyed. We will definitely go back. A Very pleasant and helpful server. Lovely atmosphere you don't often find. It is an amazing building well worth visiting even without a restaurant. Music was perfectly tasteful and at a volume you could listen or ignore to have conversations with ease.
