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.

Decided to come here for Father’s Day for my husband. Glad I chose this place, our reservation was for 215pm but we arrived 15 minutes early and was seated right away. We both enjoyed the made to order omelet station, various pastries and the chicken & waffles. Our server was Dawn and she was very friendly and knowledgeable ; she made my husband a mocktail even though they didn’t actually have those on the menu.

We really enjoyed the recommended favorite, “ The Hot Brown.” Get the smaller serving size because it’s a very generous amount. Great service as well. Definitely recommend on your visit to Louisville!

This was my first time at your and everything was terrific. I just wish we could have ordered from the menu rather than just having the buffet or Hot Browns offered on weekends. Otherwise, it was perfect. Our waitress was extremely nice and efficient. Thanks, Kaye
