Proof on Main - Louisville

We saw great online reviews of this place, so we gave it a try. We ordered Manhattan, Old Fashion, and Mint Juleps. The whiskey cocktails were alright, nothing special. You do have higher expectation, when you’re in Kentucky, whiskey cocktails should be top notch. Oh well, not here, sorry. We ordered grilled octopus, which was fishy. A total disappointment, especially for a nice restaurant like this one. The waiter did offer to change it into something else, but she told us “this is our most popular dish, and we’d never received any complaints, can you tell us why you don’t like it?” That was not a very nice question. We order grilled octopus all the time, one of our favorite food. That’s not a very nice treatment we’ve received. Anyway, we ordered other food, and they were all average. Nice atmosphere, so so service and average food.

We ate here twice. The first time was good but nothing to write home about. The bison burger had good flavor but the fries were off. The second night, the food was excellent! Our waitress was fantastic! She interacted with all of us- asking us questions and answering our questions. The staff is all friendly and helpful too.

It’s a great place to eat but left a little to Be desired my second visit. I don’t know if it was before a shift change or what, but the server was not very hospitable nor did she really know the menu very well. To me dining out all depends on the service given along with the food quality value.

This place was so beautifully decorated! The food was pretty good! I loved my Octopus and my son really liked his meatballs! The drinks were okay but the menu was extensive and I really had never heard of any of the drinks on the menu but they were strong drinks! The prices were fair compared to its upscale atmosphere! The service was really good as well. Everyone was really friendly here. I loved taking pictures here because of the decor!

Great menu, wine list, atmosphere. Our waitress was very inexperienced, this the knock on the service. But the wine guy was awesome, so we ordered a 2012 Barolo and a few local bourbons.
