    Excellent restaurant/bar in every measure. Very friendly (hard working) staff. The bartender is the best, friendly, engaging! Food was very, very good. Shrimp and Grits is awesome. I will go back every time I am in Lexington. Recommend getting a reservation in advance!

    Never disappoints. Bistro is simply excellent. I had a celery/leek soup...marvelous. Husband had a crab "shepherd's pie" which he declared outstanding. He also had the short ribs which were super - tender, lean and simmered to perfect tenderness in a fantastic wine sauce. I had the flounder special with capers, olives, tomatoes. The fish was flakey and the entire dish was full of flavor. Excellent pinot noir. Service was attentive. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!
