We had been here a number of years ago and loved the vegetarian chili. That’s what we returned for. Also the bourbon list is so extensive and wonderful.

We arrived and seated quickly. We were then ignored for 20 minutes. No one stopped by at all. I only saw a few tables. The place looked empty. I understand why now. Everyone looked at us though. We left quietly. We went to another local restaurant that happily served us.

I’ve been here several times for brunch but first time for dinner and I love it just as much. Perfect spot for local fare and good vibes. Casual but amazing quality of food. I really like the tacos and cheese dip! Great location for a little walk after too.

This is a must stop on your Louisville, KY trip or night out. The staff are all knowledgeable and welcoming making this not only a great stop for locals but for travelers to feel like locals! And the food was superb, the amount of flavor Chef packs into “simple” dishes is nothing short of Amazing! Enjoy your next meal and be sure to bring the good vibes from wherever you may be coming from.
