Is there anything better (that you can do in pubic) besides fine dining? Imagine, fresh flowers on the table, candles, white linen tablecloths, attentive waiters who drape your napkin on your lap, an excellent wine list with dozens of pages and many, many fine French wines, and a menu that is mouthwatering, and proves to be better than they sound.

Two nights in a row gave us an outstanding dining experience. The food was perfect. The table side preparation of the Caesar salad was especially good. Ramona's chicken was juicy and tasty. My veal was tender and perfectly seasoned. The wine was superb, and the desserts were nothing less than fabulous -- my tiramisu was about six layers and coated with dark chocolate.

Our thanks to Steve S. for a great meal. Another place for our annual visit to Louisville that we will not pass up. You should not pass it up either.
