I love the ambiance and the look of this place. As someone who travels to Louisville often for work, I have seen downtown go through a lot of changes in recent years and this is a welcome and much-needed addition to the lunch scene.
I wish I could love this place for the food. The ingredients all seem very high quality and thoughtfully sourced. However, as someone with a moderately severe nut allergy, I was dismayed at how my meal was prepared. I noticed that certain items (such as the walnuts, crushed tortilla chips, and cheese) are handled by hand (with gloves) and not scoops/spoons. After my order was passed off to the second employee at the counter, my allergy was not communicated and I realized very quickly that there was a pretty big cross-contamination risk. The employee washed their hands and changed their gloves and happily made me a new bowl, but I still felt doubtful of how safe my meal was from a cross-contamination standpoint, because their hands had already touched pretty much all the containers and toppings within them throughout the lunch rush already, who knows how many times. Perhaps someone with a more severe allergy than I would have been affected - I was fine, but I also keep an Epi-Pen and Benadryl on me at all times so I can take a relatively small risk like this. I wish there were proper serving utensils used for each of the individual items behind the counter so that this would be less of a concern. This is just my honest feedback. I’d be happy to return (and improve my review!) if I knew this issue was addressed.
Besides that, the lemonade was delicious and the staff were all very friendly, even with me being high maintenance and being in the middle of the lunch rush. The menu is seriously amazing, very affordable, and so fresh. I really want to be able to come back to this place with more...
Read moreTook two weary kids here on a quick road trip stop after every sit down place was booked into the afternoon and we were so lucky to have found this place! The owner was so incredibly friendly and even shared some strawberries from his farm that were not on the menu. The kids said they (and the chocolate chip cookie) were the best they ever had.
I got the steak bowl with carrot ginger vinaigrette and it was amazing. The combination of the dressing with whatever they seasoned the freshly grilled steak with was so good! My husband made his own bowl and was delighted with the quality and flavors as well. They also had a great selection of fresh juices, kombucha, lemonades, and teas.
Given the quality of the food, I was expecting it to cost waaaaay more than the total came out to, so reasonably priced! Wish we lived in Louisville because this would be a frequent lunch...
Read moreFresh from the farm to the table. The menu represents what is in season in the fields and farms of Kentucky. The posted menu advertises thoughtfully crafted harvest bowls and farm salads with sauces on the side. Honestly, I had difficulty choosing from the deliciousness offered! Berries in Beets salad, Watermelon x Arugula salad, Sweet corn and Bacon Salad or the Achiote Summer taco bowl were my top choices. I went with the taco bowl, which was Ahhhmaaazzzzing! It contained: Free range chicken thigh, white rice, sautéed sweet corn mix, cherry tomatoes, white cheddar cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips, smashed avocado, and fresh cilantro with tomatillo vinaigrette. My drink choice was Watermelon lemonade, which was so light and refreshing for a hot summer day. I cannot wait to go back to try the...
