“We come to Louisville once a year and ALWAYS make a reservation here! It is our favorite. We have been doing this for over 10 years and I am always excited to go here. My favorite is the Shrimp and Grits and other people have raved about the Pork Chop and steak. I do not think there is a bad choice here. I have never once not had a great meal! Our service has always been wonderful as well, yet this year it was lackluster. One time out of 10 is just a fluke this year i am sure.“

“Delicious food and great service. The parking was limited when we were there for a 730 pm reservation, mostly because it's a shared parking lot. Be prepared for street parking depending upon when you come. We loved everything we got there, specifically the truffle fries, halibut, and fishermans stew. They also have staff that know their mixed drinks. Wife ordered a hot toddy due to the weather and to push through a sore throat in conversation. It was perfect.
Secondary note. I do reviews all over and one thing I'll seek is reading the negative reviews with how the restaurant responds. Real talk from this place, I think they back their class in food and the know what they have. I love how they respond to customers, seeking clarity when it can be had and then calling out trolls. Boss job Lamb, top marks in how you do business.“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“
