The food was very good. Cocktails were good but way overpriced. Ambiance was good as well. Its listed on open table as '$$' for what you expect to pay. It needs to be listed at '$$$'. The food is great but i dont think it was worth the $180 we spent. I will say the cocktails are $15 each. French onion soup was the best ive had in a long while. The wait person was nice but not very attentive. If you have money to blow, then by all means go for it. But when i know i will be spending $200 for 2 peeps, i need better service and better cocktails.

The food was amazing. The staff was informative of the dishes. Geoffrey (chef/owner) came around and checked on our table a few times. He had great stories to share, and the short interaction showed just how much he loves what he does and cares about the people that come into his restaurant. The staff also made great recommendations on other things to see and do while in Louisville.
