    The hot brown was absolutely delicious (and shareable). Steaks (got the hangar, ribeye and beef Wellington) were just ok. Drinks were great. Loved the ambience. Service was great!

    Lovely place for a quiet dinner. Tables arranged to minimize sight of other diners. Attentive staff. Special Christmas menu appetizer was just ok. Lamb main was excellent.

    Promptly seated (6:15 reservation). Waitress was prompt and attentive. The pre-dinner drinks took longer than they have, about a 15 minute wait. Food served hot and was good. The gingerbread bread pudding was delicious. The ambience was very nice and the free 2 hour valet parking was nice.

    Two of us split the Petite Hot Brown. We also had the smoked duck appetizer and an order of the bourbon fries. Food was delicious. The Hot Brown was pure indulgent comfort food. The duck was spectacular. Lovely atmosphere. A beautiful place for a quiet dinner with old world ambience. Will definitely return the next time I travel to Louisville.
