When the outdoor dining season comes to an end in Kentucky, we are typically forced indoors to enjoy our meals. While a cozy meal in a lovely dining room is always a treat, many also wish we could extend our outdoor dining season to take advantage of that unique ambiance and open air. Selena’s at Willow Lake Tavern, east of Louisville, does offer the chance for its guests to dine outside in Kentucky, no matter the weather. Its beautiful patio is transformed with the help of a large tent and heaters and the best part is, you can still enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant’s landscaping and waterfall.
Selena's is a wonderful eatery located within the legendary Willow Lake Tavern building in Anchorage, east of Louisville.
Selena's is ideal for a special meal or simply to try a new spot. They serve up "a delicious fusion of Creole and Sicilian cuisine and New Orleans style fun," according to their website, and guests agree!
Whether you pick up carryout, dine in, or dine outside on the scenic patio, you'll be treated like family.
In the warm months, it's a great spot to sit and relax with a glass of wine and catch up with friends. The sounds of the waterfall in the landscaping add a special charm to the overall experience.
This space expands the dining area for the restaurant and really makes for a cozy and romantic ambiance. If you think outdoor dining season is over, check again! Many other local restaurants have added a similar set up.
All of this atmosphere doesn't mean much if there isn't delicious food to enjoy and Selena's menu is delectable.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner throughout the week and adds a brunch on the weekend. The chicken and waffles with a Creole Bloody Mary will definitely hit the spot.
The lunch and dinner menus are just as tasty and flavorful with a variety of Cajun-inspired options.
Choose from starters like the Praline Brie and then prepare for a tough decision for your meal from dishes like Po-Boy's, pastas, seafood, and New Orleans favorites like Crawfish & Shrimp Étouffée. Also, always ask about the specials!
If for some reason outdoor dining is not available or you do want to try the interior dining room, you'll have an equally lovely experience.
It's cozy in the winter and comfortable in the summer, and a special place to dine any season of the year. And while the waterfall and water features may be a little different during the coldest weeks of the year, still keep this opportunity to dine outside in Kentucky in mind all year long.
