Go early, get a signature cocktail at the bar, then order the Parrillada experience if you’ve never been. You will want to go back. Great vibes, attentive staff, and well-executed food.

We have been wanting to try Bouquet for over a year since moving to northern Kentucky. It did not disappoint. We decided to try the tasting menu. Everything was amazing. It was honestly a bit too much food, so we had to bring the desserts home. Each and every dish was perfectly prepared.

We had a delightful and delicious meal celebrating my friend who had just narrowly escaped a devastating house fire. Our server was lovely, and it was our host Allison that made the night even more special with her care and conversation. She was there to support her staff and made us feel valued and cared for every step of the way. Thank you, Nada!!
