    I’m in Lexington visiting with my family. Absolutely a fantastic dining experience! The ambience is incredible. The service, Kayleigh, was incredible as well. Kudos to her. Cocktails were delicious and the food was out of this world. We will definitely return and we would recommend this establishment to everyone and anyone. Just a phenomenal dining experience.
