    Our food was excellent and the service was very responsive. We tasted the smoked salmon for an appetizer, the pork schnitzel, which was huge, the scallops a with a side of the corn pudding. The bourbon selection was amazing! House made ice cream was divine.

    We absolutely loved this place!! The food was fabulous and service the best in Louisville in a very long time. Jackson was the manager on duty when we were there and he was the most outstanding young man I have seen in the workplace since Covid. He is professional, thoughtful, and just exactly who anyone that owns a restaurant would want on their team. We look forward to going back soon.

    Food was good especially the pork schnitzel and the pasta. Be aware, in addition to the $50 per person pre-charge, they charge your credit card a 20% gratuity. It was too dark to fully review the bill and my husband ended up tipping over 30% because he was unaware that a tip had already been charged to our credit card. The service was good but not 30%. Additionally, when we first came, our server asked if we had been there before, etc. Our friend mentioned we were celebrating my birthday. At the end of the meal a small cake with candles and chocolate were brought to our table. Much to our surprise when we returned home and reviewed the bill, we were charged for both of those items. We also laughed because the server asked if our guests wanted bread with the pasta and they answered in the affirmative. There was a charge for the 4 slices of bread. There was also a $1 charge for the large ice cube in my husband's Manhattan on the rocks. Food is good but you will be "nickel and dimed".
