    In town for NCAA volleyball tournament & made reservations for dinner with our teenage daughters. Both food and drinks were amazing and even the pickiest eater enjoyed her meal(empanadas). The presentation & service were just as excellent as the taste of the food. Hope we have a reason to return to Louisville so we can eat here again.

    Took my family of 5 out for an excellent lunch at Guacamole, complete with fun and tasty mocktails, and queso appetizer. Each entree was beautifully presented, tasted great and portions were large enough for a few Togo containers. Great service, we will be back!

    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.

    Wonderful experience. Great service,, amazing food, cool ambiance. We had a family of 5, who all had steak and drinks, so it was costly for us; but with it. The filet and strips were done to perfection and were delicious. The beef tallow candle on the bread - first time for us seeing this and eating it- so good!
