    First time experience here. The food was excellent, and the service was very efficient and friendly. The modern and beautifully design with views of the park, is quite stunning. They have a very extensive gluten free menu, perfect for me. I highly recommend. Looking forward to have my retirement party here. They offer private and semi-private rooms.

    The experience was really wonderful at the Lexington. We were there a little early and the place was quiet. However, it was buzzing by the time we were leaving. The service was great and we were asked regularly to see if we needed anything or our drinks refreshed. Dinner was delicious and we weren't rushed despite the restaurant filling up as we were ending our dinner. A lovely evening!

    Great spot for the NYE celebration! The staff were very friendly and worked hard to keep a drink in everyone’s hand. A fair amount of appetizers and drink tickets for the cover. The DJs were good.

    Tacos were very strange. But the gnocchi was delicious. Portion sizes run small. Calamari was the best I've ever had.
