This is a charming little cafe tucked within the beautiful and historic Henry Clay Estate! When you eat here, you will get not only delicious food, but friendly and knowledgeable staff as well. I eat here at least once a week!! My go to order is half an egg salad sandwich with a cup of soup. Their cold soups (vichyssoise and gazpacho) are delightful, filling, and refreshing on a hot summer day!
We have been to a lot of historic sites over the years. This one was good, not great. Beautiful grounds and the flower garden was really nice. Very old trees which were fun to see. The house and history was fun but the tour guide was painfully unenthusiastic. Knew a whole lot but very dry. It was still a fun stop.
We walked around the grounds and through the garden on our own but had an excellent tour of the house. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Kentucky history and particularly about Henry Clay (almost too much). We were disappointed that the cafe was closed (even though it should have been open according to the hours posted).
