    Food was excellent. Service was good, but not great. I liked the small. medium and large plate options on a number of their dishes. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

    Great atmosphere not too fancy. Really like optional sizes for food. Recommend lamb chops, duck confit and scallops. The candied jalapeños in lobster hush puppy’s was amazing.

    The perfect place for a special dinner in Louisville. This old house with its checkered floors, vintage photos, awesome bar and fireplaces make for a wonderful dining experience. Local ingredients bring Kentucky gourmet to life. You will be wow’d. And some of the best cocktails in town. Our server was magnificent. We frequent this restaurant and just love everything about it.
