    Everything was great. Just the overall feel of the place between the building and decor is warm and inviting. As for our food, our table ordered the steak frites, the short rib pasta and the Voodoo Pasta. I happily tasted both of the pastas and they were delicious as was my steak/fries. We also had the wedge and local garden salad. Fresh abd great. For cocktails, we had a margarita and the Salt of the Earth. Both were great I would order any of these again. Service was fast and friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

    Two of us split the Petite Hot Brown. We also had the smoked duck appetizer and an order of the bourbon fries. Food was delicious. The Hot Brown was pure indulgent comfort food. The duck was spectacular. Lovely atmosphere. A beautiful place for a quiet dinner with old world ambience. Will definitely return the next time I travel to Louisville.

    Been a while since we've eaten here. Still satisfying. Great food! I don't say "great" lightly. Everything was delicious from the kale salad with buttermilk vinaigrette, the beef carpaccio, the charred beet toast with buttermilk ricotta and horseradish, and our mussels and petit filet. Interesting cocktails. Highly recommended!

    This was our first visit. The raw oysters were great and so were the Oysters Rockefeller. Those were the best we have ever had. Highly recommended. The hushpuppies were great. The fish sandwich was huge and tasty. Our server, Constance, was very helpful and attentive. She made our dining experience very pleasant and enjoyable. We will definitely return soon.
