“Amazing Variety”

This restaurant offers a wonderful variety; it is truly a cafe on the word, with Indian, Italian, Mexican, Asian choices and more.

Anyone who thinks the portions aren't ample must eat like a horse. I ordered the yucca dish and asked the server if he recommended an appetizer also, but he promised that I'd take some of the yucca home (I did--enough for a 2nd meal, and I'm not a dainty eater).

We arrived at 7 on a weekend, and the hostess said we'd have about a 25-minute wait, but we were seated within 15 minutes. Service was excellent in spite of a full house. Most diners should find some familiar items on the menu along with unusual items to try. This restaurant was recommended to me by a Louisville friend, who says it's her favorite. Judging from the crowds, lots of others agree.

This place is just overblown. Some of the Louisville crowd swears by this place. The food is mediocre at best. The service is minimal and the prices are crazy for the portions that you get. I have went here on numerous trips over many years and always have the same impression that it is nothing special. If you want to waste your money go right on ahead.

When I saw their menu online I thought it was quite varied and suggested various twists on dishes that I had had in other cities and some I had never experienced…

My wife, mother, and I decided to try the place for lunch. They offer nice outdoor and indoor seating. They have an atmosphere of a Mediterranean village, but with a local flair…”casual, family run, and enjoys feeding you”. I believed they were renovating or remodeling some areas, but it did not interfere with our meal.

The service was excellent…my mother asked to buy a little extra pesto cream sauce (served with her “Mr. Krab’s Grouper”, you’ve got to try this one) for her take-away crate… The server told her there would be no charge, but it would take the chef a minute or to two make some more up (it’s made with the dish). Can you say more…

I certainly felt the dishes were prepared when ordered and they were prepared quickly

Homemade salsa, as good as any (if not better) than I have had in Mexico, SOCO, TX, or FL…

Tuna steak sandwich cooked medium-rare (your choice), very good and the pickled mango dressing was a nice twist on preparations I have from the Caribbean.

Louis Marsala and the Crème Carmel were other great choices we enjoyed.

Once mainstream picks them up good luck on a table…extra parking in back.
