   Although the facility is beautiful with all of the bourbons in a fantastic display, I would not recommend going there for anything but a look-see and then move on. We were seated at our reserved table promptly. Then it took 50 minutes to get waited on and receive our drinks. During that time, we asked, twice, to see the advertised "Bible" of bourbon.......it never arrived. The front vestibule with the bathrooms was closed off and we were directed outside to the courtyard to a group of unisex bathrooms which were, in a word, nasty! There was an unknown yellowish liquid on the seats and floors surrounding the toilets, toilets were not flushed, and the hand dryer did not work. We reported this to one of the waitstaff, but we had no confidence that it would be attended to. This was definitely not a positive experience. We will not go back with out-of-town guests again.

   This place was more than I expected. The ambiance is great. It’s romantic, it’s fun and I can’t wait to go back. If you love whiskey and Bourbons, you will not regret stopping by here. The food was great and the drinks were even better. Each area has its own vibe. We sat in the Bourbon room. I’ve never seen anything like it. Take a look at their Bourbon Bible.

   The food wasn’t great and the service was mediocre at best. It was a beautiful place, what little that could be seen because it was pitch black. I assume is it was that dark to illuminate the walls of bourbon. One time is plenty. And how can a restaurant be out of burgers? The food menu is very short,not great.

   I was disappointed! I made my reservation for a high top table in the Amber room 4 weeks ahead. When we arrived, we were placed at couches with a coffee table as our dining table directly behind the hostess station. (our waitress was excellent, however) It was not in the Amber room. They said they had some complications since there was a wedding reception scheduled on our reserved night. We also had to exit the building to use the unisex bathrooms. There was a huge puddle at the entrance to the restrooms since it had recently rained. It looked as if it had been there since the floods No excuse for me! They changed my reservation to accommodate themselves! The 4 of us all ordered pizzas. The thin crust was good but "Madonna" and the "Meat Jesus" pizzas were too salty. They were also out of 2 kinds of beer!!! This was a Saturday night and the beer menu was very short! I loved the whole idea of a repurposed church but felt like they missed their mark. Do better! Don't disappoint the locals!

   Everything about the experience was outstanding! We made reservations for 2 ( highly recommended) as they really do reserve your table and many of them are unique. Call in if you would like a specific room and/ or sitting arrangements because there are 3 unique looking rooms inside with different types of seating. All are amazing. High tops/ booths are in the largest and most impressive room. Food was delicious although a little pricy. We had Madonna pizza and a salad. It was fabulous experience. Well definitely be back with friends!

   Didn't have food this visit but pizza was very good last visit. Atmosphere was cozy in the front bar area. Service was spot on. Highly recommend for a relaxing evening. I don't know how it evolves after dinner hour.
