Kevin was our server tonight, he was very polite, silly and helpful even after a long shift when all the servers called out. Tonight we celebrated a 22nd and 23rd birthday dinner in our friend group. For drinks tonight our group ordered the Blueberry lemon drop, Apple Hotty toddy, Winter margarita, Smoky old fashioned, for dinner we ordered the Beef skewers, margarita pizza, Fried chicken sandwhich, and Pop pop shrimp. The steak was delicious, same with the pizza, and the chicken sandwhich. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. The only complaints: there was only one smash burger left so we had to re order our dinners. The Mezcal Old fashioned was very smoky - my friend didn’t enjoy it. Lastly, silverware and water did not come out until after food was served. Overall, we had a good night, the service was nice. The food was great and we enjoyed every drink aside from the old fashioned. Thanks 8UP for the great time.
Very nice and upscale place to have a romantic date. Great views, multiple outdoor fireplaces, even several inflatable domes to sit in! Professional and friendly service. I will definitely be back to impress the next female.
Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn on my first trip to Louisville, and the rooftop bar is stellar. The staff, particularly Riley and Chuck, were incredible. They were extremely accommodating, letting me work at the bartop on a very busy night. They never missed a beat in service, and were always helpful with any/all requests. The smash burger was incredible, the views from the rooftop were stellar. Zero notes, just a great experience, and I will be coming back.
A really cool bar on the top, of the Hilton Garden Inn. Really cool trendy place with a really spacious bar and outdoor seating area. They have fires and plenty of views of the great city. We just had a couple drinks and appetizer We had a great time!!
The ambiance was amazing. We had a group of 8 on New Years Eve in one of the igloo's outside on the rooftop. The igloo we were in looked like a small green house. Inside, it housed a table for 12, 2 heaters, plenty of blankets to keep warm. It was very windy that night, and the doors kept opening. We eventually made our way inside where they sat us comfortably. Everything was great. The hostess with the mostest was amazing and added to the experience. Thanks for a great night!
The breakfast is wonderful. Whitney and Tamarti and the chefs will treat you right. More than just a buffet they make great omelette too!
We sat at the bar for drinks after dinner elsewhere (this is above the Hilton which we stayed at). We didn’t eat anything, but the two bartenders were great. Friendly and well versed in their craft. Very attentive to all the guests while maintaining an efficient line for the waitstaff to bring the diners. Very much enjoyed.
We were greeted by Kevin and he was fantastic always checking on us and had dad jokes. The real stars were Maddie and Emilia the both took great care of us both nights that we were there they went above and beyond what is required from any server. Always had a smile and ready to have a conversation. Would highly recommend this restaurant and hope if you go you see Maddie or Emilia the are the best
