- JJohnCaribbean •8 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoFood and service were excellent. However, the tables were crowded together so the noise level was more than I would like. This was exacerbated by a table of four women next to us that were VERY loud. Again food and service were great but the noise took away from the overall experience.More infoBella Cafe & Grille (Fountains at Palomar)Price: Moderate• American• Lexington•4.8

- JJeremyCentral Kentucky •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoMy wife and I had a wonderful experience dining at Castle Farm. We were celebrating her birthday and the staff made the evening really special. The food and beverages were delicious! Shout out to Delaney who took great care of us and Jordan for making the best cocktails. We look forward to dining here again soon!More infoCastle FarmPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Lexington•4.5
- DDerekCentral Kentucky •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe atmosphere and ambiance were great! The service was wonderful, and the food was delicious! The seating was a bit tight for my liking. Most of the seating is along walls with long couches on one side and chairs on the other. There was about 12" between us and the tables on either side. So, it's hard to have a private dinner, but it wouldn't deter me from going back. My wife and I truly enjoyed it!More infoLockbox at 21c HotelPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lexington•4.7
- PPatrickCentral Kentucky •4 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 8, 2025The restaurant is very nice and clean, the staff and server were really good but maybe a bit over stretched. The drinks were fantastic. Food was good not super. I think expected a little better. It was no mistake just not amazing. We’d definitely go back.More info33 StavesPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Lexington•4
