    The menu was different than the menu the restaurant had posted on their own website. The Cocktails were very good, as was the calamari (some of the best I have had). The carpaccio was the best quality meat I had ever had with carpaccio; however the overall flavor of the dish was lacking. I added fresh lemon juice and some salt, and that helped some. I didnt care for the ceasar salad. The lettuce was cut too big to eat so I had to cut it myself and the flavor was off. The pork chop was good, and the creamed greens were amazing. Won’t be in a hurry to return and I am willing to give it a second try

    The food was inconsistent and only hoped for the Oscar filet to be more tender and less salty. The presentation was fantastic along with the service and ambience. Carrot side was the highlight and truly was the standout. Really hoping this was an aberration in quality and hoping next visit would be better.

    The new menu is refined and expansive. The Goldilocks Oysters on the half shell were fresh and briny. We had the calamari, beef carpaccio, meatballs as appetizers and they simply disappeared at our table of 8, delicious and top quality. Several people had different steaks with the truffle butter and the whipped potatoes, and everyone loved them. These potatoes are heavenly. The new Scallop dish was amazing. Perfectly seasoned, cooked and combined with the greens, it all came together. Great service by Teddy who was very entertaining and fun. You can’t go wrong here.

    The food and service were both outstanding. With a 5:00 reservation we easily made it to our 7:00 show at the Kentucky Performing Arts Center. What a treat!

    The pork chop is fabulous as well as the house old fashion. The Speakeasy is so fun with incredible cocktails. A hidden gem you must see.
