    Awesome restaurant, we had a reservation at 8pm and went an hour early to sit at the bar and have a drink. We were able to find two seats together without issues. Hostess even offered to sit us early if we wished. Once we made our way to the dining room we were greeted by a very nice waitress who went above and beyond to make our experience awesome. Everything we ate was amazing. Will go back, best steakhouse in Louisville.

    Delicious food. Our server was great, offering good recommendations to my sister who was indecisive about what to order. Our server was attentive, cheerful and friendly. Only criticism is the very small size of the cole slaw served with the fish & chips.

    The food was excellent. They were able to make a small substitution with a sauce because I don't like truffles.

    This was our first visit. The raw oysters were great and so were the Oysters Rockefeller. Those were the best we have ever had. Highly recommended. The hushpuppies were great. The fish sandwich was huge and tasty. Our server, Constance, was very helpful and attentive. She made our dining experience very pleasant and enjoyable. We will definitely return soon.
