What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently praise the innovative tasting menus, expertly paired wines, and the welcoming, knowledgeable staff. Guests love the cozy, intimate setting and describe the experience as “a culinary gem” and “the perfect night out.” Many note how the meal becomes a memorable part of their evening, not just a stop before the show.

Areas for Improvement

Because 610 Magnolia operates on a tasting menu only format, it’s not ideal for those in a rush or looking for lighter fare. It’s also on the pricier side, so budget-conscious attendees might want to save it for a special occasion. Reservations are a must, and it’s only open a few nights a week, so plan ahead.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking to make your concert night unforgettable, 610 Magnolia offers a thoughtful, upscale dining experience just minutes from Louisville’s music scene.
