    Absolutely our best Cajun meal in Louisville ever. Great service - not pushy what so ever. I regret anyone in the past having anything but a fantastic experience at this restaurant- but last night was busy and I didn’t see any disappointed faces around us. Second floor seating is probably a little quieter than first floor area. To put things in perspective- with exception to three, now four restaurants in Louisville all of our favorite restaurants and chefs are in Puerto Vallarta and other cities. Musicians playing down stairs in the Speak Easy are very talented.

    We are locals and it was our first time dining here. Not sure why we have waited so long. It was fantastic. Food was incredible and service was awesome. We followed the servers recommendations and got the Houdini appetizer, pork chop and seafood Alfredo meals, and bread pudding for dessert. Highly recommend.
