What is the fanciest restaurant in Kentucky?

Overall, Kentucky is not exactly a fancy state. While we can appreciate the finer things in life, we also tend to enjoy a more laid back, informal dining experience. That being said, Kentucky still offers many eateries that have fine dining, white tablecloths, and stellar service. Jeff Ruby's in Louisville is one of the fanciest restaurants in Kentucky, where you'll enjoy a great steak (get the mac & cheese, too!), but it's best to leave the gym shoes at home.
