    I made reservations a month ago. Yet, we were put in an area with parties of 15+ people beside us. When one left another came in—all men. It was so loud we could not have a conversation. The evening was ruined by having to yell to be heard at our 4-top table. Always request main dining room or don’t go.

    This is a great restaurant., I had the beef fillet, one of the best I have ever eaten. Ordered rare and cooked perfectly. Good luck getting a reservation, always busy, but well worth it.

    First the good: the food and service were excellent! Had the beet salad and the short rib. Both were delicious and beautifully presented! Our waitress was excellent, we never waited or wanted for anything! The not so good: the restaurant is very dark, too dark and there was something weird about the booth we sat in - it was incredibly tight and the table was too low. Some other diners in the next booth moved to a table because I heard them say they were uncomfortable in the booth? Would definitely return but not if I had to sit in a booth.

    This place has been a stronghold in the restaurant community for many years but perhaps it has reached its time to close the curtain. Service was slow… portions are down and the salad was ridiculously small. I shall not return.

    Excellent as always. Took my daughter for her 21st birthday because I wanted her first cocktail order to be from an iconic Louisville restaurant that will be here for years to come. The night was perfect.

    Food and service were both incredible! Noise level is high so beware if you are expecting a quiet dinner for two.
