    This restaurant was a great find. Loved the fusion cuisine. All four of us were very happy with our dishes. Service was great. Lovely historic building. Would definitely eat there again next time I'm in Louisville.

    We were a group of 3. Service was great but we were put on a glass and balcony with a party of 15 and it was so loud. We could not even hardly have a conversation.  we asked to be moved, but they could not accommodate.  it was very nerve-racking.

    Excellent first experience back to what used to be occupied by Decca. The étouffe was delicious, as well as the rum punch drink on dry ice. The Cajun dip was also very tasty. After dinner, we went to the basement to watch a live band. It felt like someone’s basement. Joe the bar mixologist made some delicious drinks called lemon drops. There was awesome music by a couple of very talented musicians.
