    The food and service were excellent. The smoked airline chicken with twice baked potato was absolutely delicious! We had a wonderful anniversary dinner!

    1. Starters: the Crab Soup was wonderful, some of the best we've had. The meatballs are outstanding, and a huge portion. 2. Mains: the pork chop was so tasty, the steak frites were excellent. The only thing we did not really love was the Okinawa sweet potatoes - they were a little too sweet. You can easily substitute another side. 3. Cocktails: Ghost of Gratz Park and any bourbon are very well crafted. We sat by the fire and it was cozy and pleasant. Service was excellent. It's a little pricey but the food, service, and ambience are worth it.

    Very nice meal and experience, one of the nicest we've had in Lexington. I had the mushroom ravioli and my wife had the she crab soup.

    Dinner was excellent. The she crab soup and wedge salad hit the spot. The special appetizer was amazing and the pear tarte was impressive. How many times have you ever seen pear on the dessert menu? The Caddish cocktail was a new take on Mezcal and really showed the effort to craft their own drink menu. The staff were super attentive, personable, and knew the menu options. Very engaged in making sure we had an excellent dining experience! All food came out timely and hot, we will definitely return. This was high-end dining without the disappointment or snobby attitudes. We truly loved it.
