Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
Every year since we married we dine at a different place on our anniversary. August the 26th we will have been married 34 years.
This year we were thinking about visiting Nashville Indiana and giving that area a try but have little insight into the area or what reviews to believe.
And we're open to any and all ideas for a nice evening with great food and semi-romantic atmosphere.
Any ideas within two or three hours of Fort Knox would be appreciated.
We sort of prefer American food but aren't limited to that
(By the way, I consider Jerrys a semi romantic atmosphere so don't let that hinder ya.)Last edited by kingcat; 08-20-2016 at 02:00 PM.

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
It's not romantic but I ate at the Back Home restaurant in E-town once, it was good. Like I said not romantic, it's a restaurant and curio shop (think small Cracker Barrel in a 100 year old house), and I imagine everyone down that way already knows about it, but it's the closest I have in that area and it was good. I was there for work and was sick of chains and fast food.
After that I have to go to Louisville and I guarantee many more here know more about it than I do, been years since I ate more than Waffle House level there while passing through.
But within 3-4 hours you have Lexington and a lot of other options all the way to St. Louis. So do you want this to be an overnight thing? I can recommend lexington places for sure. Got you covered if you come this way.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
I like waffle house. The food and staff at least
We've discussed Ramsey's, so Lexington is not out of the question.
Have never had a real meal there however
Believe me, this is all we'll get each other for our special day. Then it's back to beans, bologna, and the occasional fast food dive until next August 26th rolls around.Last edited by kingcat; 08-21-2016 at 01:56 AM.

There are a ton of really good restaurants in Louisville. I've been trying to find the time to take the Mrs. to the Rivue atop the Galt House. A friend of mine is the GM and he tells me they've totally revamped the menu along with having a pretty talented chef it's supposed be very good.... Plus you can't beat the view.

Holly Hill Inn in Midway. Neat, romantic location and outstanding food.

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
In Louisville, our favorite places for a romantic dinner are
--Artesano Vino Tapas Y Mas in Westport Village. Great variety of small plates and a nice wine list. Their outdoor seating is very good if weather permits;
--Mitchell's Fish Market at The Summit. Best seafood in town IMHO and again, nice outdoor seating if weather permits.
--Ramsi's Café On The World in the Highlands. Huge menu, but (IMHO) unlike most places with huge menus that try to do too much and often disappoint, this place is a winner. Cool little building right next to Carmichael's Book Store, which is fun to check out afterward (so says my librarian wife ). Ramsi's is also across the street from Mid City Mall and Baxter Avenue Theaters, so it's convenience for a "dinner and a movie" date night, too.Last edited by KSRBEvans; 08-22-2016 at 07:17 AM.

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
BTW, Mrs. BEvans and I stopped for an afternoon in Nashville IN last November on the way to Indy to see Steve Martin and Martin Short (a little quid pro quo there). If you've never been there, get ready for an experience--it's like The Lifetime Channel exploded in a town in rural Indiana. You'd never expect anything to be there, then, bam--little antique stores, tea shops and other little stores designed to cater to the estrogen-laden among us. If it gets to be too much, they have a sports bar in town they call "Husband Day Care" (not sure if that's the actual name, but that was the thing that caught my eye as we walked by).

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
I proposed to my wife there 20 years ago when it was called The Flagship. We've been there every year since to celebrate our anniversary...last month was #19. They are not open on Mondays, so you've gotta work around that. Usually means we go on Sunday for the Brunch Buffet which is awesome.

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
We'll be doing a nights stay and dinner at Patti's 1880's Settlement at the Land between the Lakes.
Thanks for the suggestions. We'll likely take in one of those places next year.

Get the pork shops (they are unreal) and the pie for the meringue.

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
Pattis is the bomb. If you need another great dining experience since you are in the area, check out Catfish Kitchen south of KY Dam Village on Hwy 641. Great fried catfish, white beans, and the best dang hush puppies I have ever eaten

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
One year I made the rookie mistake of believing Mrs. BEvans when she said she didn't want to do anything on Valentine's Day. Evening rolled around and she wanted to know where we were going--I told her "Nowhere--remember when you said you didn't want to do anything?" She looked at me as if I were speaking Mandarin.
So we got ready and tried to find a place we could get into with no reservations on Valentine's Day (which happened to be on a Saturday, for good measure). After trying a couple of different places, and it being 9 pm and still no table, we left. I was hungry, so on the way home I suggested going through the drive-thru at an Arby's we were driving by.
Later, as I was grabbing my pillow and making a place to sleep on the couch, I decided I'd never, ever, ever believe her when she says she doesn't want to do anything on Valentine's Day.
And since then I've never, ever ever suggested Arby's for dinner, no matter how awesome the Roast Beef & Cheddar with curly fries may be.Last edited by KSRBEvans; 08-25-2016 at 08:25 AM.

Re: Need help finding a great place to dine for our anniversary
Here's one you may want to consider for next year: http://shakervillageky.org/the-trustees-table/
I imagine the fresh produce available at this time of year would make for some good country cooking.
