The ribeye stick is pretty awful! It’s super thin and the first one they brought to us was overcooked. The second one they brought out was closer to medium. The salmon has little to no flavor. Our server, Lee, was amazing. Overpriced for the quality of food. The view is nice

I had dinner here with three other ladies prior to our 50th high school reunion. Dinner was amazing! The menu is eclectic and definitely with local flavor. We had deviled eggs, crispy, brussels sprouts, salads, and salmon between the four of us. Everything was very delicious. Our server Jaden was fabulous. I would definitely eat here again. It’s worth a special trip or if you’re going to be in Lulu make a reservation you won’t regret it!

Hate to say this but did NOT have an enjoyable time. Excited to go and was met very kindly and quickly sat. Unfortunately took over 20 minutes (trust I checked) for my drink to even be ordered. Waitress - albeit very nice- was non…existent. Idk. Place was not packed. Noise level was tad high due to bday celebration and not closing doors Food was …ok. Nothing extraordinary for the pricing. Idk. Just mid….disappointed.

We had a great dining experience! The service was excellent, and we never felt rushed, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The Old Fashioneds were delicious, and the homemade potato chips with onion dip were a great way to start. The flank steak was tender and juicy, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. We finished with the chocolate lava cake, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Great food, great drinks, and a relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

A visit with our friends at the roof top bar was a great experience. We arrived at happy hour and stayed through dinner. Virginia was the best and service might be her middle name. Food was great, hot, fresh and paced nicely. Best wings Ive had in a long time. Drinks on point and the view was the icong on the cake. Will return everytime we are visiting Louisville! Thanks Virginia for making a great impression on our group from PA!

From the moment we walked in we felt so welcome . Greeted by all staff . It’s gorgeous inside and outside . The food and drinks were excellent as was the service . The only complaint was being charged 3.00 extra for a splash of sprite in the bourbon. We have been to top notch restaurants all over the US Canada , and Carribean Islands this was a first . That’s why I rated 4 stars on value .
