Noah's Kitchen — Restaurant in Louisville

Easy 5 stars for some of the best brunch fare + service I've ever received. The WOW factor is they donate all profits to local charities.

While traveling to Louisville for an overnight I used my Yelp app to search area restaurants. Noah's stood out for its strong reviews and delicious pics. Since it was pretty close to my hotel I settled in on trying.

The area is an upscale mixed strip with business's that range from restaurants to brewery's. Parking was easy and the lot clean. I was shocked that the hostess greeted me and my party in the parking lot and opened the door for us.

The ambiance was comfortable with seating for around 60 including a small outdoor patio. Concrete floors with high ceilings and unique lighting that dispersed light eliminating shadows was immediately noticed. The fish tanks were cool too. They offer a small bar. I requested a table.

The host got our menus and waters. They serve brunch all day and will launch a dinner menu soon. They have only been open for a few months which shocked me because of their high review activity. The crowd was quite eclectic from young to old and the alcohol was flowing!!!

Our waiter Laurent was immediately attentive with asking if we had questions on the menu. It was hard with so many things looking great! We were hungry and dialed in quickly on the dishes. Prosciutto omelette and steak & eggs.

The restrooms are single use in the rear and gender neutral. I found it clean with proper supplies. I noticed returning to the table they also have a small merchandise rack of quality shirts with Noah branding.

After only 10-12 minutes food pushed out and was delivered by Laurent. The omelette was plated beautifully with light fluffy egg presented beside Asparagus and small cup of fresh mixed fruit. My eight ounce NY Strip steak with scrambled eggs was a beauty and the surprise were the french fries. Laurent did a quick table check after a few minutes.

After comparing notes and bites we agreed that they were equally quality dishes. Laurent did another table check for drinks and to confirm temperatures correct etc.

Bring your appetite if getting the omelette. It was light and packed with flavor. The steak was cooked properly, had little fat and was a quality piece of meat and includes chimichurri for dipping. The eggs were tasty. The french fries were the wow factor with incredible seasoning and cooked perfectly crisp. Nothing was left.

We asked for the bill which was quickly handed off. They have an efficient QR code to pay the bill which I did. I had to tip big for some of the best service I've ever received from Laurent.

After talking to him we learned he has done it all from front to back house and owner of a pub. He wanted to make sure we knew all proceeds from Noah's went to local charities, over $40k in just months. The owner takes no salary, pays the staff and covers overhead. 100% of proceeds are distributed to charity. I've never heard of anything like this.

I urge anyone reading this to give them a try and if your lucky Laurent...

I have eaten at Noah’s kitchen three times already. The food is delicious. Sometimes if you ask your food order can be modified to where you could try something unique and different as long as they have the food in the kitchen. They’re very accommodating. I have not had a bad meal there! The service there is impeccable yet unpretentious! My most recent visit I had Angelina as my server. She was such a joy. I can’t say enough great about her. She was attentive. She was kind, she made great suggestions. She was extremely personable and I felt like I was talking with a lifelong friend. We were talking about the menu and I wanted something different. I was telling her how I really enjoyed a naked burrito at a different place and she said well we have a burrito on the menu. It’s a special and she told me the chef could modify it without putting it in a burrito so basically I had a brunch style naked burrito. When I say brunch style it had scrambled eggs on it. It had brunch potatoes instead of rice like most burritos, and it did not have any refried beans, but I was good with that, it had chorizo and avocado, pico de gallo, and had cheese melted on top and it served with a side of the most delicious rancheros sauce. And it was served with a side of fresh fruit! I also had me a strawberry mimosa! I was celebrating because I was just told that I’m gonna be a grandma! I’m gonna put a picture of that naked burrito on there. Some people might say it’s not the best looking picture of food however, don’t knock it till you taste it! I have had their chicken wings, I’ve had their chicken and waffles and I’ve had their eggs Benedict, all of which is very tasty! What I love most about this place is the fact that the owner takes all profits and donates to various local charities! The food and service is so good that I think it has become my go to breakfast place in...

Love this mission. Service was great from the time we were greeted until we left. Crowded and noisy, tables close to each other. But positive vibes. Server awesome. Menu items not exactly as described. For example the corn beef hash is not hash at all. It’s large thick slices of well cooked corned beef laid on top of buttery griddled onion rings. Served w a side of cubed deep fried potatoes. We had to send eggs back twice. Ordered over medium - no runny whites. First batch came out hammered well done. Second batch came out slimy. So we forgot the eggs. Please note that the manager cut 50% of that item for the cook staffs inability to cook an over medium egg. Doesn’t come with toast so ordered cheddar biscuits 2 for $3. They were good but small and a bit hard.

My companion ordered the hot brown. Small portion, creamy Béchamel. She stated it wasn’t the best nor was it the worst she’s ever had but noted she probably would not order there again.

There are plenty of different menu options and we both agreed we would come back.

Service again was stellar.
