Overview
- Chef: Excellently flavored food. Full bar, decent wine selection and custom made cocktails. But only a single bourbon (Makers). Small and cosy seating area. Live entertainment on the night we went.
- Foodie: Fantastic food, creative bar, and low key casual environment make the drive to Crestview Hills, KY worth it. The tapas are huge portions – for tapas. The meals are small but the flavor is memorable. Quaint dining area is romantic.
What We Liked
- Chef: Food was very flavorful without being spicy. The Tapas were generous. The entire experience had a very intimate date-like feel.
- Foodie: The rope vieja (Argentinian pork stew) is a must-have. Flavorful, without being spicy. The tapas menu is the star – beef tacos, risotto cakes, flavored olives – all amazing and affordable. The intimate, romantic vibe makes it the perfect date night.
What We Didn’t Like
- Chef: Mediocre desserts. A bit too intimate for anything but dinner with a loved one.
- Foodie: The desserts were disappointing. Lacking in flavor and tasted stale. The location looks like a small coffee shop, which is deceiving.

Good For Date Night?
- Yes, one of the more romantic places around.

Service
- Chef: Friendly and helpful. Not attentive.
- Foodie: Mediocre. Friendly, but inattentive.
Atmosphere
- Casual, quaint feel.
- Bathrooms were clean and convenient.
- Live music was nice. Normally live music is either too loud or the performer is untalented (or both, yikes). But this was quiet, romantic, and the musicians were quite talented.
Kid Friendly
- No, no food for kids. No kid-friendly cups. More of a lounge/bar scene.
