   Food was great— service was great- it did take a while to get waited on, but once we did, it was great.. Will return

   Waiter was fantastic, but we waited 25 minutes for our drinks from the bartender. Food was decent but nothing special. Very fatty steak. Great location, nice vibe. But most tables were empty on Friday night.

   The breakfast dishes are interesting and very tasty. Part of the restaurant is under renovation which added some noise, but it did not detract from the experience.

   A very neat place. The bartender was our server and she was great! We all enjoyed the food, very flavorful. Would definitely go back.

   Either short staffed or server overwhelmed, three of the six orders were incorrect. Took three attempts to get one order correct.

   Greta dining experience for our large party - the food was absolutely delicious! Pork chop for the WIN, that apple compote was fantastic, cooked to perfection. Being a Chicagoan I’d never heard of a Hot Brown Sandwhich really glad our waiter suggested it! Would definitely return when next in Louisville!

    Very much a cluster. People running around but not helping anyone. We stood at the hostess stand with no one helping for 20 minutes for them to turn away people due to no reservations. They almost didn’t sit us with reservations I booked while waiting. Service was great once we got an actual waitress. Felt bad for them.
