This place was FANTASTIC. We celebrated my boyfriend's 30th birthday and they made it seem like we were the only ones there and everyone said happy birthday as they walked by! It made everything so special. The food was incredible and we will absolutely be back.

We travelled to try a famous Hot Brown at the birthplace in Louisville, well worth it. Our server was attentive and, as we arrived a little late, was keen to make sure we didn't miss out on a Hot Brown as the kitchen was due to close, great service. We share one between us, as advised, due the size, again great advice. All in all a lovely place, looking a littled dated, but all in theme with the rest of the historic hotel.
