This Greek Revival mansion, built for riverboat entrepreneur Capt. But its most distinctive features are four different waterfalls ranging from 60 feet to 82 feet high and, in particular, Big Clifty Falls. To get there you walk down a steep set of stairs, then over a creek bed rockier than any quarry, until you come to the base of a marvelous overhang where two shelves come together in a rough right angle. Although you're not supposed to do this, many people walk up behind the waterfall, even stand in its path and let the cold water splash down on them. Many people's favorite restaurant in Madison, this snug continental place is under the direction of Cypriot Nick Izamis, formerly a Louisville restaurateur and a man born to play the host's role.
Dinners come with a copper skillet filled with browned vegetables.
It s open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday.
