    Lockbox is consistently on point, offering fresh approaches to their curated menu! Our party enjoyed wonderfully prepared heirloom carrots, scallops, steak with Pom frites, and roasted chicken. We savored every morsel! Their cocktails and wine list accented our perfectly prepared dinner. Our visiting friends marvel about this delightful jewel in downtown Lexington, Ky. We love the ambiance, friendly staff, and top notch chefs!

    The food was delicious however, down fall of the day was the host and the service. Host ( male hostess) was rude and server was not the friendliest. Really made for an unpleasant experience.

    The Ambiance of this restaurant is very unique and inviting. Although the food that we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented, I wish they had a few more options for people. There aren't very many options for sides and it gets a little confusing as to what is available. You can tell that the chef it's a lot of careful thought into the dishes.

    Hello shaggard! Thank you for taking the time to leave your review about your Lockbox experience! The parisian gnocchi was a hit in the summer time so we thought we'd revamp it for the autumn season. So glad you got to try it and loved it! We hope to see you again soon.
