    From the greeting in the lobby to the final farewell from the wait staff, the experience was wonderful! Especially being on Thanksgiving, the entire staff seemed delighted to serve us! We were honored to have the chef stop by our table and sincerely ask us for our feedback. Honestly, all our feedback was glowing. I can’t say enough nice things about our experience. This was our first thanksgiving “out” and it was a fantastic introduction to the lower-stress holiday option.

    Dinner for 4. Our wait staff were wonderful, especially our primary server, Tyler. If lobster thermidor is on the menu, we recommend it. The grilled romaine salad is delicious. The smoked bourbon cocktail is fun and tasty. The key lime pie was very good, as was the butterscotch budino. Overall a great dining experience and is highly recommended.

    My favorite Louisville restaurant. We had taken my Mom to the original location a few times. This was our first time to visit the new location. We live in Lexington but were in the neighborhood to see a band at The Whirling Tiger. Try those unique plantain chips with a few salsas and guacamole and queso.

    We love Upland Brewing, this was our first time to this location. The view on the river is amazing. We sat inside next to large windows and could see Louisville on the other side of the river. We arrived right at the end of Sunset, I’m sure the view is even more amazing if you arrive in time to see the whole sunset.
