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.

This is a return trip for out of town. Overall very pleased however, the specials were not well explained. The vegetables except for the asparagus were not appetizing. The shrimp appetizer was outstanding as was the carrot cake. We had a very loud and rowdy family next to us that made talking tough
