Our lunch for “good old friends” was lovely from start to finish. Prompt seating ensuring we were comfortable near one of the fire pits and wonderful service set us up for a great experience. Our waitstaff was absolutely wonderful, attentive, and went the extra mile for us, even providing a special dessert as we celebrated a promotion. Always a great meal, the service elevated this to a great experience.

We arrived early and was seated right away. My request was a hightop and was seated at a standard table instead. Service was great and the food was too. The expresso martini had a weird taste, but everything else we drank was well received. Overall a nice experience as we celebrated our anniversary.

Can I just say WOW! We visit Louisville a few times a year and have Never had this kind of atmospheric experience. Our server Marquee was very friendly-knowledgeable and accommodating. You MUST have the popcorn - deviled eggs- and Bacon . Take the time to make your way upstairs for a real stunner! This always be stop on our trail! Cheers we shall return.
