We always love coming to Grassa Gramma. The ambience is amazing and unlike any restaurant in Louisville. Our server was very friendly and professional. He took the time to answer our questions on the wine selection and entrees. We chose the baked Imperial seafood. It was much different than the seafood bucatini we had our first time there. But it was well prepared and flavorful. Our guests chose the spaghetti and the lasagna entrees. The spaghetti and meatballs is one of our favorites here. The lasagna was good too but he felt it had little meat. The sauce was delicious and there was plenty of cheese. Our server suggested a really nice Cabernet and he was right. It was perfect. We look forward to our next experience here

We had a wonderful dining experience at Le Moo. Jennifer was our server and she was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. We had the lettuce wedge, ribeye (prime)-cooked to perfection, with the fried potato cakes. The food was exceptional and the turnaround time was very quick. We frequently dined at this establishment when it was the old K.T.'s, so it brought back many memories. They made awesome updates, but kept the wonderful nostalgic ambiance. I highly recommend dining at Le Moo.

The waiter we had was training a new person and the service was not very good. I think the lead waiter was spread too thin & the new server didn’t check on us as we need more drinks & steak sauce
