    Beautiful restaurant with delicious cocktails and food. We both loved our entrees! We were at a table right under a speaker and the music was a bit loud but didn’t ruin the experience necessarily.

    What can I say. Creative takes on traditional dishes, the small plates are absolutely amazing! As a foodie I've been privileged to have had some of the best dishes from some of the most acclaimed restaurants and I have to say I was blown away! I'd recommend 4 small plates to share. That way you can experience multiple dishes. Portions are perfect for two. We had the mushroom bruschetta, crab cakes, beef takaki and Brussel sprouts. Be sure to start with one of their drink specials from the bar or a glass of wine from an extensive wine list. And half price drinks at happy hour if you get there early. Officially our new favorite restaurant in Lexington!

    This was our first visit to this location and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! It started with the warm and friendly greeting when we walked in the door. The server was friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely delicious. It's such a lovely place - cozy and inviting without feeling pretentious. I can't believe we've been missing out. We'll definitely return soon!

    This 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.
