    Wow! The food is amazing. I had the steak frites and it was the best meal I had during my visit to Louisville. The restaurant and the hotel are beautiful. Gorgeous old world decor with an elegant feel. The rooftop was also the best view in town.

    The hotel lobby must be renovated asap. Old, horrible looking and dated. No one seemed to want to help when I came up the stairs for my reservation. I didn’t know where the restaurant ended or began. Not a great experience.

    We had a wonderful experience. Our server, Chris, was very attentive and helpful. The crab dip, filet, and salmon salad were all excellent. The dining room is beautiful.
