    The food was amazing, as always, with friendly service. It's always a pleasure to come back with new friends to show off some of Louisville's best cuisine.

    Food is good, service is not great, and the restaurant is pretty run down. Needs a good deep cleaning in my opinion! be prepared to be charged $1.00 if you ask for a SIDE of mayonnaise!

    Great southern creole selections. All the food we ordered was delicious including the bayou dip, wings, grits, pizza, etc. Drinks were unique too but know that bar closes at 9, so if you have a later reservation you will want to get your drinks ahead of time.

    The service was excellent. The food was okay. I got the cheese grits by a recommendation and they were terrible. We were there late and I’m sure I got the end of the grits but if they looked like they did, I wouldn’t have served them. Other than that the food was good. Maybe a little overpriced.

    It had been a while since I’ve been back here to eat. They reminded me why I enjoyed it so much. The service was great and the food was fantastic. The portions were very large. We had a variety of food as well as getting the trio of hummus for an appetizer. I really enjoyed it and will be back much sooner next time. Thank you for a great experience.
