    Many choices on the menu. Good location with easy parking & access. Food was delicious and served hot. Service was slow at times BUT they were a bit overwhelmed with the post Derby crowd. In their defense any restaurant in Louisville faces that challenge Derby weekend. Great bar to have a drink.

    From the moment we walked in it was AWESOME! The hostess was very welcoming and it just got better! We took our nephew to one of his first fancy dinners. He was impressed and loved it and every one was so nice. Food was excellent and everyone loved the great time!

    I worked in the space when it was Hoe Kow Restaurant. Walking into the restaurant gave me an immediate feeling of familarity and calm. A large retirement party was happening so the restaurant was on the louder side, but we still enjoyed celebrating our friend's 65th birthday. The service was top-notch! Our server was attentive without being overwhelming. We started with appetizers of escargo and calamari, and both were delicious. Our group enjoyed either the trout or scallops for dinner; absolutely scrumptious! We ended our meal with servings of profiteroles or creme brulee and each dessert was divine. High marks on all fronts...
