It’s tough to get a perfect 10 from me but that’s exactly what was earned. Our server Truman - 10, the food 10, the drinks 10. My point? This was our first visit (from Florida) and our picky table of five all had the same results - a 10. The food and drinks were so good that I’ve added them to my must visit list whenever I’m in Lexington on business.
