    Amazing restaurant for bourbon lovers and all-alike. Food was fantastic and service was even better. They really go above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience. Our server, Sam, was very knowledgeable on all food and drinks and explained the selections as if he were the one preparing them himself. Would definitely go back next time I’m in the Louisville area.

    Everything was wonderful. We celebrated our son’s 33rd birthday and the staff treated him like royalty. We ordered the appetizers, every side, and the list goes on. It was fabulous! The drinks were over the top. We will come back!

    Everything was great. We brought friends who had never been there before and they loved it. The only "wish" I'd have is that the music not be as loud. The band was good, but it was hard to hear normal conversations -- and we were a good distance away. But thank you for a great night!

    Second time we visited in less than a week and everything was perfect. The ceviche is LITERALLY the best I’ve ever had. Drinks are gorgeous and delish. Can’t wait to go back again!
