Two couples for dinner. We were greeted by several staff members and immediately shown to our table. The service was attentive. The food was exceptional. We unknowingly stayed 15 minutes past their closing time, but were not bothered by the staff to leave. We apologized as we left.

Overall, this was the best dining experience we had during our 3 days in Lexington. We had the gumbo and the special for that day, which was Shark on a rice/vegetable combination. For desert, the bread-pudding really impressed my son. He was still talking about it on the way home.
