At Coles, we're dedicated to bringing the art of dining to every experience. Think local meats cured in-house. Crisp vegetables fresh off the vine, pickled onsite. Breads baked fresh each day. The best seasonal ingredients available, sourced from local farms and trusted purveyors. And our menus go beyond the plate, with handcrafted cocktails featuring unique, house-made ingredients, hundreds of bourbons available for tasting, and an award-winning carefully curated wine program. We believe in honoring history and chose to set our restaurant in a restored historic landmark in downtown Lexington.

    Food and service was phenomenal. The only downside was the noise . It was surprising how loud it was given a small space.

    Coles never disappoints. Every time we go I wonder why we try anyplace else. Delicious creative dishes along with elevated execution of the basics. The service is always smooth and there are several familiar faces each time.

    Birthday dinner. Arrived early and immediately seated. All staff was great as usual. A few new menu items were superb. Even provided us an appetizer that was no longer on the menu. Cole’s continues to be our special occasion restaurant.

    The server was not up to the standard we have come to expect from Coles. She smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, was abrupt, and removed dishes and drinks without asking if we were finished with them. Sometimes we weren't!
