    We went for a date to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The service was top-notch and food was excellent. We ordered two cocktails and a flight of bourbon, and then the sommelier brought us each a half pour of white and red wine to go with our steak and scallop entrees. And that was complimentary! This works good for a date spot, but I do think it’s even better if you’re in a group. It’s a great spot to go if you’re visiting Louisville distilleries, looking for a post-work cocktail or to duck in before a game/concert. Highly recommend!

    What a delightful evening! Our server Jacquel encouraged us to try a wine by first providing a sample and was very helpful in recommending choices on the menu for our various preferences. The vegetarians in the group enjoyed several sides which made for a full meal. The sound level was great which allowed for conversation. We had 5:00 reservations which gave us plenty of time to walk to the Kentucky Center for a 7:00 show. Will definitely be back and will ask for Jacquel as a server.

    We had such a great on our second visit here. The food and drinks were wonderful. But what really elevated the experience was our server, Alexandra D. She was absolutely wonderful! So kind, energetic, and fun. It was also clear how knowledgeable she was and she seemed to really care. We were there for my boyfriend’s birthday and she went above and beyond to make it special. Thank you! We will certainly be back and hope we get Alexandra again!

    The restaurant is very lively and modern. Our server was enthusiastic and very positive. The risotto dish was dry, but the seafood was great. Fun place to celebrate a birthday.
