    This was our first time here and it was phenomenal. From the moment we walked in to the moment our food arrived. The service was amazing. Justin was our server and he was really knowledgeable which helped with our order and everything we ordered was amazing! The only complaint I had was the noise level. The bar does tend to get loud with people and sometimes it’s hard to hear the person across from you.

    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!
