    We had a large party of 10 for an anniversary dinner. From the initial call for reservations and table requests JRs was amazing. Truly one of the best steakhouse experiences. This was our second time in Louisville and it did not disappoint. Looking forward to another trip here next year. By far the best Steak in Kentucky!!

    We arrived a little early for our reservation and had a cocktail at the bar while we waited. Old Fashioned and Watermelon Guava Margarita-both were refreshing. Our server was Ibrahim and he was fantastic! He answered our questions and made recommendations which helped us decide what to order. My husband got the Caesar salad and I got the wedge (chopped). They were amazing and the house bread with flaked sea salt is out of this world! I opted for the 8oz filet with Bourbon peppercorn sauce. Hubby got the NY Strip with creamy horseradish. One of the best steaks we have had an awhile. Very tender with lots of flavor. We split the whipped potatoes, creamed spinach (with breadcrumbs on top) and mushrooms. We were too full for dessert but will definitely be back. The service was impeccable, food was delicious and ambiance was romantic. Highly recommend!!

    I am a Floridian who relocated to Cincinnati 6 years ago. This is the first Cuban restaurant outside of Florida that made me feel like I was truly sitting having a meal in Florida. The ambiance is next level. Whomever styled the waitstaff’s looks, the decor, music, and even tableware did a fantastic job. So once you are seated then come cocktails that were hand crafted with exceptional detail. Empanadas were out of this world. The main corse; which I had the Picanha Steak cooked to a perfect medium rare. I can not say enough great things about this place. Highly recommended this place and will be coming back in the future!

    The food is always good. In fact, it was excellent. Prior to this visit we were overwhelmed by the noise level. Let night it wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was quite nice. Our waiter was attentive but not overly so. One question. Why is it that when the waitstaff tells you the specials, they don't tell you the price? We always ask and are not embarrassed but we shouldn't have to.

    One of my all time favorite restaurants anywhere and make it a point to dine here whenever I’m in Louisville! I also try to expose as many people to this restaurant as possible. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to order anything but the Carnitas… but sometimes my dining companions will share a taste of their meals. If you haven’t tried, you are doing yourself a disservice. Delicious, great atmosphere, always impeccable service.
