    The restaurant itself is very elegant and date worthy. Our waiter was very professional and helpful with his recommendations. The drinks that we had were really good and balanced between taste and alcohol strength. However, the food did not match up to it's presentation.

    Food was good, but service was a little lacking. Not sure if worth a return trip....

    Excellent restaurant! Food was amazing. Had the shrimp skewers and the seasonal vegetables. Everyone in our party thought that it was one of the best restaurants in Louisville! Highly recommend!

    The food is decent, the servers are good, but the people who call you to confirm your reservation are super rude. The first time they called me 20 minutes before my reservation and wanted to know why I wasn’t there yet. I gave them another chance and made another reservation and they kept calling me while I was already in the restaurant dining. They have some kind of major disconnect with communication in that place. The actual servers have been good and it’s got fun ambiance and decent food. The staff that deals with reservations leave much to be desired.

    My Caesar salad had too much dressing and was overpowering, but everything else was GRADE A!

    We made a reservation at this place because all the adds we’ve seen on social media and because they had life music. It took them 20 min to acknowledge we were sitting at the table. That was after all servers and manager chatted to each other the whole time we were sitting in front of them and no one came over to say HI! The manager walked by us and asked the host “ who had the Cuban table” , that was what filled our cup and made us walk out before we even got water. Being in the heart of the highlands there was plenty of options for us to go!

    Unfortunately, my dish didn't have any flavor & the pasta was tough. It was like it needed to be cooked longer. I ordered the Twilight Fettuccine. My Husband ordered the lambchops and he shared with me and they were Delicious. Brittney, was Great & I hope I got her name correct. We we're there to Celebrate our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was very nice and we will come back again, but just order something different.

    This is by far the worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant. My wife and I arrived and lead to our table by the host. I understand some establishments are short on staff, but the area we were in was covered by at least three (3) waiters. We were never acknowledged by either of the waiters, we made multiple attempts to get their attention. As to not cause a scene my wife and I decided to leave.
