    Music in the background so classy. Lunch food and service were both outstanding. Lunch menu a bit heavy towards fish.

    My favorite new discovery in Louisville! Just go you will love it! The food is wonderful the atmosphere is charming the service top notch! There is piano 🎹 music and the booths make it easy to dine in a place that might otherwise be tough for some to hear ! I had the lamb, it was perfect . I tasted the meatball appetizers which could be a Meal for most very good indeed. I also tasted the famous pork chop which was as described, delicious! The cobbler was perfect and the olive oil cake did not disappoint. I left there stuffed and happy I finally got to go!
