    Just a fun vibrant place to go in downtown. We went before a concert. Within walking distance of YUM Center and many other venues.

    The reason I rated so low is because I booked a reservation at Doc Crows for 10:30. I was diverted to the spot next door for a breakfast menu. I did not book this location. I was not informed or notified that we would not be seated in Doc Crows. I find this to be a bait and switch. We went to Doc Crows at 11 and sat at the bar. The service was great and wings were great. I just don’t like the fact no one communicated that we would not be in the restaurant I booked.

    The most comprehensive selection of bourbons. Solid old fashioned. The shrimp/oyster po boy was amazing.

    The food was very good We had fried chicken , short rib, and pork chops. The made-to-order chocolate chip cookies with ice cream were delicious for dessert. Emma provided excellent service. She was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Definitely a great place to go either before or after Louisville Card basketball games.

    Given it was a Monday & I have been to this establishment multiple times, over the years, the service was shockingly slow. Our waitress was just fine & did her best; however, drinks & food arrival was very slow, not because of the waitress, but our table of 8 believe it was because the establishment was understaffed on a Monday. We also recognized that the restaurant traffic was light, so that may again be due to staff availability. Now, getting to the food. It was definitely below expectations & I felt embarrassed booking this for 7 others that came into town from all over the country. In fact, my meal, along with another guest made us sick! While I was not as sick as my guest from CA, it was shockingly poor. I am not sure what else I can say. I would normally recommend this establishment, however, beware of Monday's because it's not the first time I have experienced underwhelming service on a Monday. I may NOT book again as I come down at least 6 times a year & try something else. VERY disappointed, along with half of my table of 8. I'm sorry, but it was a very poor experience. The food quality was horrible.

    The service was excellent. Food was just okay. I went with my husband and two boys ( 17 and 9), we all thought the food was just so so. Lunch for 4 people was over $100, wasn't impressed with the value. We did try the brisket and pulled pork, didn't have much flavor. Next time in Louisville, we will try another restaurant.
