A word from Nick Ryan's Saloon

New restaurant in Lexington's Historic West Suburb. Come enjoy modern American cuisine, atmosphere and good people. 5-10 minute walk to Rupp Arena. Great place to enjoy dinner before the Cats play in Rupp!!!

"Even though we had a reservation for 8:15 we waited for 30 minutes for a table and then dinner took a long time to arrive. Our waiter served the wrong beer to one guest who mistakenly took a sip. The waiter then gave it to the correct diner. Kinda gross. It was the waiter's mistake and he should have owned up to it and given the guest a new beer!"

"We went to Nick Ryan's for a girls night out and really enjoyed ourselves. The food and atmosphere were grea. My only dislike was that the service was inattentive and slow, but they were a little busy. Overall though, I would definitely recommend it!"

"We have been going to Nick's since it opened a couple of years ago. We like the comfortable setting, the responsive staff, and the great and tastee food. It's not a flashy environment, but very easy to be in. We almost always see people we know, and the restaurant can be pretty busy as the evenings wear on; so reservations are a good idea."

"It was a busy night for them, and they overlooked my Open Table reservation. However, once they realized their mistake, we were seated VERY quickly. Service was great, food was excellent, and they have a very well stocked bar and a lovely wine list."

"Overall the experience was very good. My husbands pork chop was outstanding as was the beet salad. My Hot Brown was good but a little too drenched in cream for my taste. They were out of several things and the staff seemed a bit uninformed about what was available and what was not. We would give it another try."
