    The service was great! The special which was a bone in ribeye was not so good! Every ribeye has some marbling but the cut I got for $47 was at least 50% fat and the thinnest steak I’ve had anywhere. Everything lease was good.

    It was loud, but they seems to be the normal for most restaurants in Lexington currently. I ordered the ahi tuna asking that it be barely warmed. The server suggested that I wanted it rare and I accepted that order. The plated dish was lovely. Two triangles of tuna were artfully plated over the wasabi mashed potatoes with the Brussels sprouts to the side and a delightful ginger based sauced circled around the plate. The tuna was over cooked and tough. Barely any pink was visible. It was more of a medium to well cooked fish, giving the tuna the texture of salmon and not the creaminess one would expect from rare ahi tuna. Not wanting to wait to return the dish I ate it. Sorry I ordered the tuna.

    When visiting from out of state we always eat here. Favorites are crab cakes which are light and fluffy and scallops with asparagus and creamy risotto.
