    We had a party of 8 (four couples) and I am not exaggerating when I say that all 8 of us absolutely LOVED everything we ordered; and I mean everything! We are at many different restaurants in Louisville while on vacation and this was, by far, the favorite. We have one night left in town and we’re all ready trying to figure out how we can go back before we fly home. Don’t miss this place!!!

    This was a tough dining experience. The wait staff was unfamiliar with food restrictions and menu options. Unfortunately, there were very limited gluten-free options, which surprised me for an Ole restaurant. The food was good, the drinks were good, everyone had a great night, I was just surprised by the lack of knowledge and lack of options. Maybe make a GF option menu so the staff can just give the piece of the paper to someone who has questions?

    Food and service were excellent, but the music was extremely loud. We asked several times if they could turn it down and they said they would but I didn’t notice any difference. We went very early, 4:45 reservation, in hopes that it would be more chill but that wasn’t the case. Food was delicious though!
