“Excellent service and savory dishes.
We were late due to traffic and when I called to let them know, they told me to stop by. This was at 9:45pm, they close at 10pm.
I told them I didn’t have to bother their team but they insisted.
We enjoyed our dinner, I showed my appreciation with a very generous tip, as their professionalism and consideration was beyond what many restaurants showcase nowadays.
Thank you guys, we’ll come back at a decent time next time we’re in Louisville!“

Our waiter, Sam, was very attentive and made sure all of our food was to us quick and any modifications we had were taken care of perfectly. We were surprised with a crème brûlée that was the cherry on top of this meal.“

“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.“
