    It was a very busy evening, so we understood things running a bit slow. However, 2 out of 6 meals were dry and over-cooked. One was a salmon dish (inedible) and the other catfish. Paid and tipped appropriately. Just a little disappointing with out-of-town guests.

    We dined here for Lexington Restaurant Week which was a great deal. The food was good however service was probably the worst we’ve had in years. Our server brought us drinks and bread and took our order and never came back to check on us after this. I had to go up to the host stand to ask for her. She did apologize and took 15% off our bill which we appreciated however I don’t know that I would return honestly. We really expected more for a restaurant with this price point. The patio and ambiance is lovely though.

    We've never had a bad meal here. Especially love the Imperial Flounder, but had seafood topped salmon and it was delicious. Fried green tomato caprese appetizer was excelent as well.
