- JJerryCentral Kentucky •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe chose Frank & Dino’s to celebrate a birthday. Ordering from their fabulous weekend brunch menu, my friend chose the Keeneland Classic Egg Benedict, and I decided on the Bricks & Mortar Popcorn Chicken and Waffle. Both of us loved our selections. Our waitstaff, Stephanie, was knowledgeable about the menu and was kind and patient to answer our questions. She provided excellent customer service. We enjoyed both the window seating and the beautiful dining room.More infoFrank and Dino'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lexington•4.7
- RRyanvipCentral Kentucky •10 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is a fantastic eatery with great food, long bourbon list, and great staff. We came in the middle of the week, so it was a little slower, but it was a fantastic experience. Appetizers and dishes are great with a number of fantastic options. The hotel and eatery have a great feel and personality. We spent some time out at the bar after which had great seating, drink options, and an attentive staff.More infoGranddamPrice: Expensive• American• Lexington•4.4
