Best Wine Bars in Nicholasville

My husband and I booked dinner at the granddam as a part of a two day trip to Lexington for a long weekend getaway. From the moment we sat down in the beautiful dining room and were met by our outstanding waiter, Todd, we knew we’re in for an experience. As Todd went over the menu with us, he shared that the head chef was hosting a watch party in a few hours for the new season of top chef, in which she is a participant. Okay, here we go, we thought. And boy were we in for a great meal. Our cocktails were inventive and beautiful, our mushroom appetizer, divine, our mains were the real show. I had the elk Wellington and my husband the trout. Outstanding. Chef’s ability to mix flavors and textures to include smokey notes, spicy notes, earthy notes and a little brightness all at the same time really showed off her incredible talent as a chef. Thank you for a great meal and a great night; congratulations to chef for her top chef journey and to Todd for taking such good care of us.

We always have a fantastic time and receive excellent service. It is our favorite spot to eat both for lunch for dinner— always delicious. Their seasonal offerings and cocktails are incredible and their weekend brunch is one of our favorites.

Debbie has done a wonderful job since moving to short street. Parking is an issue which makes for infrequent visits.
