    This place did not disappoint from our first bite of the amazing yeast roll to the last bite of our entrees (I had the halibut and hubby had the shrimp gnocchi.). The Thai calamari was also out of this world. We will be looking for a reason to come back to Lexington just so we can eat here again. Oh, and the bourbon collection was amazing too!

    This is one of my fave brunch spots! Food and service is always A1! I did have to remind my waiter to bring my drink a couple times but no biggie. Also, I asked for no avocado and has to take it off myself. Good was still amazing and the server was still amazing also! Dec recommend.

    My girlfriend and I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner that combined bold flavors with creative touches, all enhanced by exceptional service from our attentive and friendly server. I had the braised curry lamb, which was tender, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The truffle mac and cheese on the side was rich and indulgent, a comfort food classic elevated to the next level. My girlfriend chose the pork chop, beautifully cooked and paired with sweet, juicy peaches and creamy mashed Yukon gold potatoes—a standout dish. To finish, we shared warm, fluffy donuts that were just the right amount of sweet, providing a perfect end to the meal. The delicious food and attentive service made for an unforgettable dining experience!
