Awesome food! Green chili wantons and goat cheese gateau, fish and chips , and ice cream . Only complaint - don't know why we we were squeezed in inches away from the only other table with diners??

Steve Kozarovich

Service there was little lackin first time we went but we'll give it another chance thanks to excellent food. Creative an tasty. Try the Derby pie Popsicle and the cast iron scallops .

Angela French

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Louisville. Great food, great bourbon and wine choices, great atmosphere!

JEM Truely

The fried chicken may not be the only thing on the menu, but once you try it, you won't want anything else. Plus, they make a mint julep that actually tastes good!

Amazing bourbon list and very reasonably priced!

Colleen Kelly

Had a amazing dinner last night. Don't skip in the pork chop . So good!!!

Michelle S

Sweet potato fries are not good. Eggroll app was ok. Hot brown was amazing! Shrimp and grits had way too much seafood stock. Goat cheese salad was awful.

Cheston Newhall

Sweet potato fries and carrot cake are musts. All good is good.

Leesa LaFollette

Second time we were there to eat. Delicious. Shrimp and grits are out if this world.

"Serves "upscale comfort food " in an environment that is all red velvet wallpaper and dark wood, with gilt-edged paintings secured to the ceiling."

Michael Lambert

Lovely cocktail and beer lists . Definitely try the corn pudding .

Kyle Wilson

Very good wontons and highly recommend the seared tuna salad

MTV

Deviled eggs ... Way better than the church picnic variety.

Bradford Thomas

Wow! The apricot glazed pork chop was life changing...particularly paired with the bourbon beer draft .

Brian Deis

I wouldn't order the meatloaf burger unless it had something like an onion-jalapeño chutney or perhaps some sort of maple-garlic glaze. The apricot pork wasn't jaw dropping but was delicious.

JJ

Off the beaten path , but excellent atmosphere for a group. Menu the same at both pub and "roost". Loved my Chicken Curry Salad sandwich .

Amber Christensen

The fish tacos were excellent, creamy sauce with fresh avacado , really good. marshmallow dip with sweet pot fries is crazy GOOD!

Paul Blackburn

Try the AllenWrench Cocktail ! If its warm outside even better, its refreshing and has a little link grapefruit taste! Awesome!

M

Beef kabobs and samon bruschetta are amazing. Fish tacos weren't bad either.

Danny Payne

Outside table with amazing weather... Great dinner spot.
