So different than a chain. Fresh food made really well with unexpected choices. Fun atmosphere, great bourbon selection.

What a gem. This lovely restaurant is close to Castle and Key distillery, right on the river. The food was plentiful, delicious and perfectly prepared. Also had a bourbon flight, which is so much easier than driving to multiple distilleries.

Absolutely love this place as a stop to eat when touring Woodford and Castle & Key. Their menu is simple but you can count on every item being delicious, and they have a great bar. Our server was awesome as we were a large group and in a hurry, she was very accommodating. She even pointed out the added gratuity so we didn’t double tip, classy.

We looked at the menu ahead of time, as we do when trying new places and both ordered the hot honey pickle brined chicken sandwich and it was amazing! We also ordered some bread pudding which we took home and had with coffee the next morning, so good. The food and drinks were excellent. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back on our next visit to the area.

Great little place with some very good food and a great whiskey selection on top of it. Reservation needed, but this quaint little almost backwoods place is 1000% worth it. Only gripe would be the $17 pour of Old Forester 1897, I've been to high end steak houses that offer the same thing for $10 so idk how they're justifying $17.

Great experience overall! The wait time was a little long, but that was our fault with a larger group and no reservation. Definitely a perfect spot for a small group with a reservation.

This is a must visit. The drink selection is unmatched- any bourbon you want, they got it. The cocktails are also phenomenal. We had the catfish and the lamb bolognese- best food I have ever had. We followed up with the cheesecake and it was just incredible. This restaurant is truly a gem.
