Winston's Restaurant

Sullivan University is home to a great fine dining restaurant, Winston's.  Led by Executive Chef John Castro, this establishment is mainly staffed with Sullivan University students and graduates.  For many culinary students, Winston's serves as a great internship experience, the last stop before graduation.  With an extraordinary menu, including incredible full-bar service, and value guest appreciation, there is only one catch: Winston's Restaurant has limited hours of business. Friday and Saturday, they are open for lunch (11am-2pm) and dinner (5:30pm-10pm). On Sundays, they serve an exquisite brunch from 10am to 2pm.

One of the most signature dishes presented at Winston's Restaurant is inspired by Louisville's famous Hot Brown.  This well-known open-faced sandwich is comprised of toasted bread, roasted turkey, Roma tomatoes, freshly made Mornay sauce, and Pecorino Romano cheese.  The tower of ingredients is then broiled to perfection then topped with crispy bacon.  Chef Castro's spin on a Hot Brown, a "Not Brown," is a little different.  Honoring the original infamous Louisville dish, a "Not Brown" (pictured below) is also an open-faced sandwich topped with Mornay sauce, cheese and bacon.  Instead of bread, however, Chef Castro uses fried green tomatoes.  He also substitutes rock shrimp and crab for the roasted turkey.  The "Not Brown" is elegantly displayed in the bowl and garnished with spinach.


If you have not been to Winston's, please come in for a visit.  The restaurant is located on the left side of Sullivan University's main campus building.  The food and drinks are delicious, the environment is intimate, and the service is respectful.  Even the prices are reasonable!  What more could you ask for?
