Comfortable booths, table seating if you prefer. Large outdoor patio, as well. Our server, Austin, kept us in drinks and treated us well. Their menu features several full bar with good cocktails, appetizers, salads, bar fare, and fine entrees. Our table ordered the smoked deviled eggs (5 to an order). They were delightful with the right amount of smokey flavor and bacon. Two of us ordered the Cioppino, myself being one. Lots of seafood and flavor. Others had the Grouper, the Chicken Scallopini, and the Tuna Bowl. Everyone raved about their meals. The Tulip is a neighborhood favorite. You won't find them on Open Table, so seek them out thru their website and get yourself in there! https://www.thetulipbistroandbar.com

I tasted the whites, never heard of them, awful so you can't go wrong w/ a High Noon. Small bar, three other patrons & bartender was busy talking that I didn't get a drink until I was seated to eat. He came over, like it was his first time seeing me & said oh someone forgot about you over here. Yes, you did. No worry. Started w/ the Charcuterie Board 3/5 the marinated olives (which my server had no clue they were marinated when I inquired more) were the best thing! I could buy a jar of them. The meats were ok, brie was good, the cheddar was stale like it sat out for two days. I ordered the Short Ribs which came w/ a Blue Cheese Risotto. Horrible. I know short ribs are fatty, but only got one piece of meat off of them & the risotto tasted like some kind of cleaning solution & even smelled like it. 5/5 for the Collard Greens. I asked the server to replace the risotto for Collards & he said they can't because the chef thinks it takes away from the dish, unless you have an allergy. I dont eat carbs, but said ok & gave it a taste. I was starving so gave them another try by ordering the Smores Dessert. 5/5 Very good. But I did not leave satisfied w/ the service or food at all. My server was clueless to everything. It's such a gorgeous establishment w/ so much potential! I was not planning on such an awful experience & hope they get it together. I'd like to come back & not feel like Im starving after I leave a farm-to-table establishment. Try it for yourself, but the greens were the best w/ hot sauce. I almost left after the bar experience & the charcuterie board, but stayed to give them a shot. Wasn't worth it.

The restaurant is beautiful, the service is impeccable and the food was truly a delight. From the presentation to the taste, everything was amazing.

The Maggie Glow was excellent. After such a wonderful experience, I look forward to returning to try more of the menu offers.

We were not impressed with the food at all. My wife ordered the Mahi Mahi and I had the Ribeye Fillet and for an appetizer we had the Chicken Croquettes which were the highlight of the night. The Mahi Mahi was seasoned well and had good flavor but was overcooked and dry. My Ribeye Fillet was nothing like a ribeye, very lean and no fat. Overall it was too expensive for the quality of food and service. I was only impressed by the ambiance and decor.

The atmosphere is beautiful and somewhat eccentric as is the owner. The steak is obviously the star of the star of the show but the Blue Crab Bisque was excellent and I really want that again. I loved the seasoned oyster crackers. I enjoyed the Lobster Thermidor as well but I probably won't get it again. There are other dishes that I like better. Some of the lobster tail was very tough and chewy. Overall it was a great experience and great food.

Man where to start - this could take awhile…read more Booked a reservation here for 8:30 on Friday night. In searching for steakhouses in KY, this one came up several times and boasted being a top 100 American steakhouses etc. We parked across the street and walked in, quickly sat and addressed by the waiter's helper - young guy who was obviously faded. Do you I don't care. Taller waiter in the sport jacket and a little shaggier hair. Ordered the crab bisque to start, along with the table bread. The soup was very good - in a bowl too a large portion but the flavor was very very good. I ordered an old fashioned and an iced tea and they never came out. When waiter asked what he could get for us I mentioned the drinks. Then he brought them out. For my entree I went with the barrel filet (12oz) and ordered it medium. My bud ordered the petit filet medium. My steak came out more medium well, in parts well, and hers came out medium rare, in some places rare. So the waiter come back and she points out it's under cooked and he skeptically furrows his brow and cocks his head and says uh let me show the manager. Comes back and says "the manager confirmed it's undercooked." So let me get this straight - we need to throw a challenge flag to the manager to confirm a customer's dissatisfaction ? Had he said no that's medium I would have pointed to mine and said okay how about this one? Manager comes over - very nice and apologizes. If you have STEAK in your name - you better cook it properly. They sent it back and recooked it - still came out pink so hell with it. (Apologies I forgot to take a picture of the steaks I was flustered and angered) Along with our Jekyll and Hyde steaks we added the Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts. They were fine. I asked the waiter asst for sweetener packets - then watched him do a little bit of everything before returning for something else and I had to remind him. I got the carrot cake for dessert which was very good - and I had to take half of it boxed up for later. Then the check comes, and waiter says the desserts and non-alcoholic drinks are free due to the issues. I provide card and the waiter comes back with his furrowed brow and cocked head saying my card didn't go thru. The card I use-- never declines. Ever. I ask him to try again, which he does on another computer and VOILA! it works. To add further upset, this man CIRCLES THE ORIGINAL TOTAL TO MAKE SURE I KNOW WHAT IT WAS TO TIP HIM OFF THAT ---- Like I'm 23 and have never been to a nice place like this? The bill was $329 and he thinks what? I'm going to stiff him on the tip? Crazy work. Two stars only bc the dessert and soup was good and the manager was a nice guy.

A third member ordered the Crispy Chicken salad with honey mustard. Though the salad looked great, what was brought out was a drizzle of something that was not honey mustard and she had to order it on the side. I ordered the Spicy Chicken burger. It was really good but not spicy at all. But the most disappointing part of my meal were the mashed potatoes! I didn't think anybody could go wrong with mashed potatoes! But they were grainy and dry and looked straight out of a press. The staff was very friendly. The ambiance was great even if it got really loud once it started filling up.

Bella Cafe, from the service to the appetizer to the meal, was top top. The acorn quash was phenomenal and unique; the chicken, while slightly overdone for my taste, was crispy and flavorful; and the Brussels sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. The interior has the feeling of being a little cramped, but who cares? We ate outside on a beautiful day. To say I was pleasantly surprised by the place is an understatement. I strongly recommend.

We also had coffees (regular drip for me and an iced latte for him). And I also tried the key lime gimlet. It's made with Castle & Key gin which is a favorite of mine. Ambience was very nice and the food was delicious. I asked for a side of bacon. I am very particular about my bacon and it came out cooked perfectly, crispy but not burnt. Service was fantastic and pleasant. The only criticism I had is that the red onion in my omelet was bitter. But no one's fault, sometimes onions are very astringent. Everything else was delicious and well made. Oh and we got the house made cinnamon roll for the table. This was delicious. So buttery and gooey with cinnamon. We will be back, maybe for dinner to try their dinner menu!

It's enormous (easily shareable between 6+ people) and absolutely delicious. The Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich was a close second at 9/10, a great classic executed really well. The Banana Bread Latte was an 8/10 -- very good but ask for it less sweet. The Iced Cinnamon Bun Latte and Eggs in Heaven both landed at 6/10. The latte sounds incredible on paper but the cinnamon bun flavor didn't quite come through, and while the Eggs in Heaven dish itself is a good concept, my eggs were unfortunately not cooked to my liking. We really enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying our breakfast! Service was good, a little slow but they were very friendly! Overall a great spot with a lot of potential -- the pastry alone is worth the trip. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
