    Food and drinks were amazing! We tried the Madonna pizza, the Mary sandwich, and the Fleur de Lis dip. All were amazing with great flavor. The cocktails were delicious. The setting was stunning. Highly recommend!

    This venue is truly beautiful. The bar is probably the prettiest I’ve ever seen. The service was good but a little confusion over a pour which the server corrected and was greatly appreciated. I think the food could be elevated just a touch.

    This place is a 'must go' restaurant! Amazing architecture, curated set list was mint for me. (Allman Bros, Grateful Dead, Led Zepplin, Gerry Rafferty) Drinks and food were A+

    I highly recommend this place for its originality, quality of food and service, as well as its ambiance. It was my first visit to this kinda hidden Louisville gem & I will certainly go there again. It was very much a positive experience.

    Best pizza ever. We loved the St Dylan's cocktail, the bacon appetizer with picked veggies was incredible. Service was top notch. Loved going to the loft for live music after dinner. Wish there was a full bar in the loft instead of just a few wines and domestic beer. The full bar downstairs has amazing crafted cocktails and a large beer selection. Can't wait to go back!
