    We we’re here for a conference from Houston, Texas. The absolute best restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky! If you’re a history buff full of history with all the pictures on the walls and every waiter and staff member knows the history of the restaurant! Food was outstanding and a great price for the quality of food and service! The drinks are top rate also! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone coming in from out of town or for that matter anyone who lives in Louisville and has never tried it!

    The menu for lunch was underwhelming with pasta, salad, chicken and fish being the main courses. Appetizers were 3 different salads, soup of the day and only two shareable items. They will split them for you which is great but they aren’t inherently shareable dishes. They have 5 different sandwiches and a burger which might be because that’s what customers are buying but it seemed the menu didn’t match the vibe, service or bar offerings. Not bad, but not great, the lunch is good for a casual bite but not the same level as their dinner menu. Service is amazing, honestly the best in the area.

    We were celebrating my stepmother’s 90th birthday and Mother’s Day with a Friday lunch. The server was great! She was patient, attentive and friendly. The food was amazing - everyone enjoyed their dish. The tables were a bit close together and the volume loud, but still very enjoyable. We will be back!
