    While the food was good nothing outstanding. It seemed that the entree was overwhelmed by the side. Several entrees had Parmesan fries which covered two-thirds of the plate. Online menu different from actual menu. This is extremely frustrating when you take the time to pick out ahead of time what you would like to order only to find those items not on menu. In addition, if you are trying to keep to a budget during holidays having to make snap decisions while ordering is counterproductive.

    Outstanding place to dine. Food was superbly prepared. Our waiter, Richard was attentive, friendly, and professional. I thought it was quite interesting how much the waitresses and waiters helped each other. The ambience was most enjoyable with low lighting, candles, old brick and wood. I did give it 4 instead of 5 stars, for value as it is on the expensive site, but well worth it especially for special occasions. We were celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary and will return for such times

    Great food. It was hot. It was well timed. It was delicious. Short ribs and shrimp with pasta. Great selections. Food and wine. Attentive employees. Sincerely friendly. Is there anything you can do about the acoustics? Very difficult to converse without really yelling. If I owned the facility, I would seek professional help with sound dampening.

    This is a fantastic restaurant. The ambience is elegant, but old school although I have been here many times the food seems better than ever. It was very busy when we were there so the service was a little slow, but attentive and knowledgeable all the same. This is clearly a top five restaurant in Louisville
