What a menu! Make sure to start with the amuse bouche, the mini arancini was perfect. The mushrooms appetizer is unlike any I've had; warm, cold, crispy, umami, tangy, creamy. The trout was warm and briney but offset by a beautiful char on the skin. Fantastic dining experience, exceptional vibes. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Lousiville.

Outstanding food, beer, service, and atmosphere! We came on a Friday night with a 2 year old and a 3 month old. It was the best night out we have had as a family in a long time. There was a variety of people there all to enjoy delicious food and drink. Our experience with all employees was top notch. We cannot wait to return!
