First of all let me say Amber was a great server. Everybody in the place was friendly. It’s a small place only holds about 35 to 40 people but it’s a pretty cool place to eat. The restaurant was clean. I had the meatloaf the wife had chicken. Way more than one person can eat that’s for sure the chicken meal came with two huge pieces of chicken, the meatloaf I could only eat about half the meatloaf came with Brussel sprouts, mashed sweet potato’s. The chicken came with two huge pieces of chicken, sweet potato, fries, and brussels sprouts, and some beets mixed in which were delicious. It was a lot of food.

Excellent dinner! Don't miss it if you are in Corydon. We had a few hiccups with the online reservation but they found us an outside table anyway. All 3 dishes we ordered were excellent. We had shrimp and grits, General Tso's Chicken, and salmon. My photos are not the perfect presentation that it would have been in the restaurant because we ended up getting our food to go due to rain coming in. The staff was awesome and super helpful. I'd definitely eat here again.

Fantastic! The chef obviously knows what he’s doing. Started with drinks, had an old fashioned that was spot on and a blood orange margarita that was very good. Then had the fried broccoli as an appetizer. It was the star of the show. Maybe the best broccoli dish I’ve had. I’m assuming the menu changes a lot but I had the shrimp scampi and my girlfriend had the general Tso chicken. I throughly enjoyed the shrimp but her Tso chicken was probably a bit better. I would definitely recommend.

Great food spot in corydon, probably the nicest spot in town. We split truffle fries that were fantastic and a great starter. I got the general tso which was good. I do wish the server would have followed up to suggest chicken or pork belly. The menu list both as an option and I forgot to specify. By default I got chicken, but really wanted pork belly and forgot to specify. We also got the Cajun shrimp n grits. The grits were probably the best we’ve ever had. Everything had good flavor and a nice kick that wasn’t too overpowering.For drinks I got the elmarita (margarita with blood orange) and this was fantastic! Defiantly going to add blood orange to my margs going forward. Also tried the Crazy Daisy which has an electric powder rim. This is a cool powder that stimulates salivary glands. I wish this could have been explained better by the server as they just said it was a numbing sensation. I had to google what I was even eating which is kind of a bummer.Defiantly recommend this spot for dinner, but think they can do a lot better with educating staff of dishes and cocktails. Also no full bar or person trained on making off menu drinks which is a bummer. Also had to google what happened in 1816 to see where the name came from. Would be cute to put a blurb about this on the menu so it felt more cohesive. Decor was cute in the main area, but had a religious theme in the bathroom that felt not cohesive.A can’t miss spot in corydon for dinner if passing through!

First time here and it was magnificent! The pork belly general tso was so good and flavorful! My husband had the Larry's chicken and tho it did take awhile to cook, it was well worth the wait! It was good without the Bama BBQ and the truffle fries were also superb! We can't wait to try something new again next time!
