    The chef quit last week, so the menu was very limited. Very loud. Waited almost an hour for dinner. Food was adequate.

    Menu listed on open table was extensive. When we arrived at the restaurant they only had 1/3 of the items because they were running a reduced menu that month. Would not have chosen this restaurant with the lack of variety on the reduced menu.

    The restaurant atmosphere was great but the brunch food was not impressive. Unfortunately the acai bowl was melted into a soup consistency and the pumpkin pancakes which sounded fantastic were plain pancakes with a basically unseasoned pumpkin puree on top. I would try 33 Staves again for dinner or drinks because of the atmosphere but would definitely not go back for breakfast.

    The host and server were welcoming and attentive. The food was exceptional and unique. Meaning, they created a new from a traditional recipe. I had the hot brown (traditional) but it was made with fried chicken and candied bacon. Very unique and flavorful. The only drawback was finding it. The name is displayed if you approach it from the south but not the north. It’s in a hotel which would have been helpful to know.

    A great visit as always. The jumbo wings are some of the best wings in town. The winter harvest bowl was hearty and delicious. The Kentucky Fried Hot Brown may not be a traditional hot brown but it is still fantastic.

    Service was excellent. Food was very good. As an appetizer we got our favorite - the chicken wings. They are probably my favorite wings around - large, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. And that Alabama white sauce is so delicious I could practically drink it! For my entree I I ordered the fried chicken hot brown and while it was very tasty, the mornay sauce was a bit undersalted. I would still order this dish again, however, as I suspect that was a one-off. My husband got the Steak Frites and he absolutely loved it, however it’s worth noting he requested medium rare and received medium well to well done (the steak comes precut so half was well done and half was just a touch pink in the center). We didn’t complain because he said the steak was still very tender and he was fine with eating it that way. Cocktails are excellent too. We appreciated that drinks are made with fresh ingredients and not bottled mixes!

    We arrived for our reservation on the nose. The place was very difficult yo find because the tiny sign was printed on glass, half-hidden by the decorative shrubs. We walked through the place and no one said a word…we had to ask to be seated. Our waitress brought the menu and there were only 2 items on the entire menu I can eat due to a wheat allergy (my tongue becomes very painful with sores). I live in coastal Georgia and did not come to Kentucky for shrimp pie (my only entree choice). Unfortunately, we had to leave.
