The food on the menu is not what you receive. The lump crab hush puppies didn’t have any crab in them and the kale Cesar was primarily iceberg lettuce.

I have had better in Louisville. The lump crab hush puppies had a very small amount of crab and mine was served with what tasted like straight mayo. I ordered the fried chicken for my main course and found it to be under seasoned and the coleslaw that came with it wasn’t tasty at all. The Banana Foster Pie was a big disappointment, it had no banana flavor and was topped with a lot of nuts. I would definitely not recommend.

We went for brunch. The restaurant was very pretty but the service was awful. I think they were understaffed. I had nothing to drink until after my food was delivered and had to walk up front to the manager to ask for some water. She mentioned she was new and only temporary so maybe that was part of the problem? Food was fine but did not make up for the service. Also we were offered nothing to make up for the terrible service and we would never ask.

Food was great but the restaurant was almost empty, which was a surprise because when booking a table online, it said most were Full.

We had breakfast here and ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes with a side of sausage and the breakfast sandwich. The waitress was attentive and brought us coffee as soon as a fresh pot was brewed. Our meals took a little bit of time to come out and when they did both our meals were cold or luke warm at best. There were only 5 other tables dining at the time so I’m not sure why our food wasn’t brought out when it was still warm. The flavors and taste of the pancakes were delicious and I’m sure would have been even better had it been warm. The breakfast sandwich and hashbrown cake were good, but again were cold.

Horribly poor service, despite several people walking around and doing everything besides serving guests. The manager also just kept walking around like everything was fine, but in reality: our drinks were empty the majority of the time we were there, my friend was missing part of his order which was never brought to him despite asking, and my food was cold. In addition, the table beside us got their food before their drinks ever came, someone at the bar was missing part of her order, and another couple had to leave because it was taking so long to get their food and they had a flight to catch. Again, no shortage of people working, just poor management and no attention whatsoever on the guests who came to eat with them.
