   It's been a long time since we were pleasantly surprised by a restaurant. Every aspect of our meal was enjoyable. The food was a treat and our waiter, John, made our dinner memorable.

   I had been having a craving for mussels and was looking at different restaurants. I remember seeing that La Folie was opening a while ago. Food was amazing service even better all of the staff are so nice. Will definitely be back

   Started with the french onion soup and it was great. I had Beef Bourguignon and my husband the Veal Oscar. Both were superb! Finished our dinner with the Gateau aux Trois Mousses and Espresso. Our server, John, was attentive and spot on helping us with our entree selections. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family.

   Bummed about this. Wanted it to be good, but it just wasn’t. 2-person table was such an odd location - middle of a hallway. Service was meh, nothing special. We ordered and within quite literally ~5 minutes the food was served. My wife had the lobster ravioli that was barely cooked and the sauce tasted like jar pasta sauce. I had the duck that was fine - overcooked, and overall nothing great. Entire meal was not great and extremely overpriced. Paying $180 for a bottle of wine and two meals is absurdity for how poor it was.

   Prices are high food was ok but not outstanding, my Branzino was overcooked and came with no vegetables or starch which was odd but ok for what I wanted. Service was attentive but not overwhelming

   Overall, a very good dinner for date night. Only knock was that I kept finding bay leaves in my food. Two in my French onion soup and one in my risotto. Tasty but not meant to be chewed. Scallop appetizer and three mousse dessert were great.

    The food was better on a prior trip, about six weeks ago. We will come back at least one more time, to get a sense of whether our first or second experiences were most representative.

    The food was very good but not great. The service was good. I thought the menu was nice but was disappointed not to see some traditional brasserie French dishes. And no soufflé for dessert. French restaurants should have at least a Grand Marnier Soufflé. I will return, but they need to expand their menu.

    Not Gluten Free Friendly. This was my second time there. First time they were not very busy and the waiter that visit was very confident about the gluten free options. This time, they were very busy and I had called ahead to re check that there were GF options. I also really stressed to the waiter that I was gluten free because of celiac (not a preference). Was told the items I ordered were GF (after going back to ask the chef). The soup came out with obvious gluten on it so I sent it back. We waited another 45 minutes and the waiter came by to take our order even though we had already placed the order about an hour prior. It was obvious at that point that our entree was expedited because food then came out relatively quickly. The waiter let us know after eating that our entree had gluten in it too. For those that being gluten free is not a choice this is very bothersome and potentially dangerous. The manager was professional and did refund the meal, however this doesn’t reverse what happened. In total I was there over 2.5 hours and left sick. Hopefully with staff education this will one day be a safe option for people with a dietary restriction, but for now I would avoid if you do have a dietary restriction.

    Place is nicely decorated but excessively noisy. Full house but service was excellent. Food presents well and while some was very tasty other dishes were a bit over cooked. Pretty pricey for value as a result

    We enjoyed the food and the service, but we both found the starters--one ordered an appetizer and the other a salad--much too large, almost entrees in and of themselves. We were so full as to have no interest in what appeared to be some delightful desserts.

    This was our first visit to this new restaurant, but it won't be our last. We enjoyed a pleasant evening on the patio and had a great meal. I don't know another restaurant in Lexington that serves beef bourguignon - it was delicious. My only recommendation is that they develop a unique cocktail menu, perhaps focused on bourbon, since we are in Kentucky.

    The service was poor. We sat for 25 minutes before anyone came to our table. However, once we ordered, food came quickly. The calamari is average at best. I would not recommend it. My husband got the branzino. It was good, but not excellent. It certainly was not worth $45. I got the snapper special, which was better than the branzino, but still not worth the price.

    I loved the ambience of this restaurant. I was very excited to experience this restaurant’s take on French Cuisine. I left feeling disappointed. My Dad is a gourmet Chef. Growing up I experienced the best of fine dining. This was not a good representation of French Cuisine. While our foie gras appetizer was nicely presented and tasted very good, the Escargot fell flat. Smothered in butter and cheese. My friend’s salad fell flat as well and was nothing more than you might experience at a chain restaurant. The special was a red snapper in butter sauce with mushroom risotto, steamed spinach and carrots. The vegetables were perfect. Risotto was good.. the fish? Where was it? Was it red snapper? Was it a casserole? I’m not sure. It was not elegant, it was not French. The desserts were disappointing. They don’t make them in house. A restaurant of this supposed caliber should make in house. The Gateau aux trios mousses was shipped in frozen, the crepe Suzette was not made to order and was smothered in sauce. Not delicate, just thrown together. For the exorbitant prices, it did not deliver the quality or beautiful flare and taste of French cuisine. 👎🏽

    The food was AMAZING. We had the carpaccio, beat salad, pork and sea bass. For dessert we had the crepes Suzette. I can not say enough good things about our experience. Everything was exceptional. John was our server and he was fantastic. We will definitely be back. I would leave 10 stars if I could.

    Had brunch at La Folie. Loved the races visable from every angle of the dining room including the bathrooms. Art work was exquisite. My husband loved the steak and eggs, cooked to perfection. I loved the eggs Benedict. Next time I will try the French toast. Definitely looking forward to dinner some night.

    The food was excellent, we had the scallops as an appetizer, great and the filet for an entre. Probably the best steak I have ever had! The service was very good, knowledgeable servers, and attentive. The interior decorations were very nicely done. However, our biggest complaint would be the number of TVs around the restaurant. For a nice Italian or French restaurant, 5 or 6 TVs all going at once was just too much. For the price, the level of food and service quality, the TVS should onoy be in the bar, and from my perspective even this is too much. But throughout the main dinning room, just inappropriate. We will return, but probably when cooler so we can sit outside without the constant visual assault. Thanks!

    Very good food. We had the scallop appetizers and the sea bass and salmon. All of them were very tasty. The only disappointment was the crème brûlée. It was very soft. My only recommendation is that the prices are &10.00 higher than the other upscale restaurants in Lexington for similar dishes. If you can decrease the prices I think this restaurant will be packed on weekends.
