    The food was very good but the service was terrible. Our waitress seemed to have an attitude and was pretty impatient. The food took a while to come out.

    This is a great restaurant. The four instead of five stars is because one of our two entrees was not up to snuff. It's worth a 4.5 to 4.75 I think. The vibe is New Orleans downscale hip. The staff are uniformly friendly and helpful. The bread pudding with bourbon caramel sauce was among the best we've ever had--and we've had it in many places including New Orleans. My crawfish etoufeé was excellent, as was the crabcake appetizer. Only the blackened redfish didn't measure up--not truly blackened, and a bit overcooked. We'll go back if we are in Louisville again.
