The House of Marigold

Very nice vibe and pleasant staff. Food was average. We tried the eggs/breakfast potatoes and French toast. Solid, but nothing made either of us want to come back for those dishes again. For a $35 breakfast (and that is before the tip, just the 2 meals and coffee, nothing else), I expected more. Wanted to try a local joint and glad we did, but probably would go to First Watch about a mile away next time.

Breakfast, brunch or lunch you have to try House of Marigold. The decor is charming. After a short wait at the hostess stand, we were seated and promptly waited on. The acoustics do seem to make you talk louder, so it does get a little noisy. Vick, our waiter was excellent! The coffee and lavender tea were very good. The Avocado Egg Toast was delicious with grapefruit and all the condiment greens. The Royale Burger/Grits was very juicy and above par. Pop tarts were 86d but we'll be back. Side door entrance, bar inside left and seating to the right. Ample parking.

Went for brunch and most definitely will go again. Only complaint was we haven't gone sooner. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. If you are looking for a premier brunch spot in Louisville your search is over.

Overall the place was good. I did feel like I was yelling when we were talking to each other but look and feel was nice. We had a wait time of about 45 min on a Sunday but it was worth the wait. We had mimosas while we waited for our table and they were ok. Food was good not a long wait after we ordered. I would definitely go back.

Marigold is a relatively new restaurant in Louisville. Breakfast and lunch, no dinner. I give it five stars specifically for the ambience, care and attention of the owner, and the deviled eggs. Seriously, best deviled eggs ever. The appetizer and dessert items are fantastic. The entrees we had were good, but the starters and desserts really were the stars of the show. Great location for an upscale brunch with your spouse or to meet with friends. They did have a kids menu, but I don't think it is particularly geared towards small children. Overall, great experience, and the owner was on hand the whole time making sure all went well and everyone had a great experience.

...and get the deviled eggs.
