    I am from Lexington, Kentucky, and I used to pass by the castle, all the time wanting to go in when I was a little girl.  Yesterday I finally got that experience my friend and I went and had dinner and the experience and it was amazing. Very elegant classy. The food was amazing all around an amazing time.

    The service and atmosphere were great. My eggs Benedict was not good and the hollandaise sauce had completely separated. My friend’s fish sandwich was good, but was literally a fried fish filet on a bun with no condiments or accompaniments. I would expect better food from such a beautiful place.

    We only enjoy fine dining for a special occasion. My wife has been wanting to visit The Kentucky Castle for quite some time, so we decided to go for her birthday. The quality of the ingredients were great, however poor plating and execution made this the one of the worst "fine dining" experiences we've had. We started off with Mussels, which were fantastic. We though that would be a sign of good things to come. Unfortunately, we were wrong. My wife ordered the Wagyu Ribeye, the steak had virtually no sear and although the quality and temperature were good, it was the only hot item on the plate. The pureed potatoes were cold and slapped on the plate, the green beans were also cold and overcooked. My Lamb "Chops" were a Lamb Chop that was on the smaller side, and it wasn't a good cut. The Server was great, however she was given too many tables that were spread all across the dining room, one of which was a large party that was running her non-stop. When she had time, she was lovely. The stars of the show, oddly enough, were the Weisenburger Grits and the Smores dessert. After we were finished, my wife said we should have just bought some ribeye from Whole foods and cooked it ourself. Bad ending for an expensive birthday dinner.

    If I was being picky, it seemed like every table around us had some sort of issue resulting in their food/drinks to be delayed or sent back. This resulted in a long wait (30-40 minutes) for the food. However, the atmosphere was great. Hostess was amazing. Very clean. We’ll be back for sure. The Mac and cheese should come in a bottomless option. Emily, Jordan, and Garyn are top notch.

    We are ecstatic with how much you enjoyed our service, Nathan! Your return is being anticipated.

    The food is as overpriced and the experience was over rated. $60 for dry fried chicken is ridiculous! KFC WAS BETTER THEN THAT! Surprisingly, there not much to see inside the castle and it’s a small dinning area.

    We apologize that our food wasn't up to the standards we always hope to uphold during your visit, April. We would love the opportunity to remedy your experience and will be reaching out soon.

    My 10yr old daughter and I had dinner there and not only did our waitress, Krista, make our experience wonderful with her perfect suggestions, she was attentive and kind. The food was absolutely superb! Hands down the best meal I may have ever eaten! Toby’s bread and pumpkin butter was absolutely to die for and the pork chop was insanely juicy and flavorful! And the sweet potato hash and Brussels were addicting! This was my first experience there but most certainly not my last!

    We love that you had such a lovely experience with us, Kristen, and our menu, Sarah! We can't wait to serve you again.
