    We arrived a little early, but they still didn’t seat us, until the time of our reservation. The table we were given, was opened the entire time. We got the Kentucky Poutine Fries, which one order was warm, and very salty, and the other one was hot, yet salty. The waitress was made aware, and said sorry. The Korean Chicken bites were delicious, definitely would order those again. Three of us got the smashed burger, two others got the chicken sandwiches. For the price the smashed burger was not worth it. The chicken sandwiches were good. Service was slow. I finally asked the waitress could we speed this up a little, since we had a tour in 45 minutes, and this was after we had been at the table and received our drinks and appetizers 25 minutes before that. I think I will be going to the Willet bar area or Heaven Hill the next time.

    Stopped here for a late lunch. We got the Kentucky poutine, blackened shrimp fried rice, and fried checking sandwich. All of the food was delicious and service was great! A little noisy but the atmosphere was great.

    Good lunch place on the Bourbon Trail. Let them know you're trying to make a tasting and they'll accommodate you.

    We had lunch prior to our tour and it was wonderful. The Brussel sprout appetizer is a must. We waited a VERY long time for our lunch entrees. My hubby enjoyed the shrimp fried rice and was pleased with the number of shrimp. My salad had a very generous portion of grilled chicken. The boozy shakes were a hit with all of us, too. Other than the wait for our entrees, it was a delightful lunch and we would highly recommend.

    Great stop for lunch! Booked a large party (9) in advance. Check in was easy and quick. Waiter Will was fantastic and funny. Daily salmon special was a good size portion. Don’t miss the chicken sandwich!!!! Drinks were a tad pricey but well made
