    Thanksgiving Dinner was amazing. The amount of food was insane for the price. We would definitely recommend.

    Hi Jeneen! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your Thanksgiving experience! There's a lot of labor that goes into preparing for such a busy and large service and I am so happy to read that you felt there was plenty of value for your experience.

    The food was delicious but the service was really slow. I know the restaurant was full due to a concert at Rupp Arena but it still took at least 1.5 hours to get our food. We then had to rush to eat and pay our bill.

    I had a delightful dining experience at Lockbox in Lexington, KY. The Rabbit Ragu & Pappardelle Special was a standout, with tender pasta and a rich, flavorful ragu that left me craving more. The Kale Caesar Salad was a refreshing starter, and the Sea Bass was cooked to perfection, showcasing a delicate balance of flavors. The steak I ordered was not only perfectly cooked but also expertly seasoned. The overall experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend trying these dishes.

    The service was very slow. It took about 10 minutes to get something to drink besides water. The signature appetizer had run out. They substituted the shrimp which were chewy. I ordered the pork chop which was very dry to the point I only ate a third of it. My wife ordered the cheeseburger which was good. I would avoid this place for dinner. We had friends who had breakfast the next morning which was a better experience.

    Second time eating here and second time having my mind blown. I'm vegan and Chef Nick has sent out a menu each time marking dishes that could be converted to vegan. Aside from the actual vegan options on the menu, the options that could be converted to vegan were still amazing. The shishito peppers, brussel sprouts, and mixed green salad were amazing. The beetroot salad is out of this world. The celery root steak is RIDICULOUS. I could eat these dishes every day of my life.

    Hi Willis! Thank you so much for the rating and recommendation! We're very happy with the lengths Chef Nick will go to in order to accommodate dietary restricted guests and I'm glad you got to experience his commitment to service. For what it's worth, the brussels sprouts are my favorite menu item right now outside of our entrees, absolutely delicious!

    Hello Sojourner, Thank you for taking the time provide us with valuable feedback regarding your Lockbox dining experience. We do keep a tight menu that we only source from local farmers and purveyors which sometimes inhibits the menu's ability to be broad enough to satisfy all palates.

    Lovely place for lunch. Comfortable seating. We arrived at 1100, parked on street right by restaurant. I paid the meter w a credit card. Walked in restaurant and saw a man giving us a parking ticket. Went out and told him we just paid with cc and he said the meters are not working right. He told us we could go online and appeal, which we did. It was finally taken away. This is why people don’t like to go downtown to eat. Fish sandwich was good and my husband really likes the mushroom sandwich.

    Hello Lynn, Thank you for the compliments, recommendation and 4 stars! We're sincerely sorry about the parking situation in our lovely downtown. It is not easy to understand or deal with. In order to combat that, we're now offering free valet parking at our hotel when dining at Lockbox for Lunch Service. All you need to do is show your lunch receipt to the valet and they will comp your valet parking charge upon departure. We hope this will provide you with a good enough reason to come back and dine with us in the near future! Brian Walters Director of Food & Beverage, Lockbox

    LockBox is one of our favorite Lexington restaurants. We dine here multiple times throughout the year. Food was a bit off this time around. With the price point of LockBox I do hold it to a bit of a higher standard. the Crab Cake and Shrimp BBQ were excellent. Kale Caesar Salad was bland. Dressing was too thick and no hint of anchovy. Succotash was bland. Grit cake was fine but the veggie accompaniment tasted like it was straight out of a can. Tomato Salad was excellent.

    I had the steak frites for my birthday dinner, and both the steak and the fries were outstanding! Had a glass of Malbec with that--perfect recommendation from our wait person, who also was delightful. My husband had the catfish.

    Arrived late on a Sunday so restaurant was not busy at all. Service was attentive and professional. The menu was limited but in a good way. We appreciate places that don't stretch themselves to be all things to all people. Most of the items we ordered were excellent. We especially enjoyed the steak, hush puppies, sweet corn ice cream and braised beet salad (we had actually ordered the tomato salad so the beets were a happy mistake). The wine selection is healthy, though they were out of the bottle we ordered so they comped us a dish and brought us something comparable which was kind of them. The bourbon selection was vast. Overall enjoyed our visit and would recommend to others.

    Thank you for the kind words! We do keep our menu tight as we want to be able to offer the freshest and most local of ingredients which can sometimes change at the drop of a hat. My sincerest apologies that we missed the mark on getting the correct salad out to you but happy mistakes are better than sad ones. I'm grateful that your overall experience was excellent and we look forward to welcoming you back! Brian Walters Director of Food & Beverage, Lockbox

    Lovely atmosphere. If you are doing research be sure you have a current menu. When they first opened they were overpriced but everything has been revamped snd though the menu is limited the food is top notch and reasonably priced. Very good service and attractive wine list which too is reasonable

    Wines offered by the glass were not up to par. The red selections were all considered too dry for our palates. The catfish dish was too salty to eat so it was returned for credit. The chicken dish was very good. Overall menu selections were disappointing here. We have eaten at the Cincinnati 21C restaurant and found it to be fine.

    I’ve been coming here for a few years with some hope/ but last night I tried again with the steak and they didn’t get the temperature right again (med-rare) and we ordered the burger same temp also came back well done. It’s big time food waste to send things back, so I didn’t. But, dang. Can we hit the temp next time? Also fries were wayyy too greasy and I got a ton of ends. Service was great as usual, but food matters.
