About the restaurant
There’s a quiet country road hiding near one of Lexington’s busiest intersections. Tucked down the lane in a tree-lined cove, Giuseppe’s has been serving great Italian cuisine serenaded by live music for the last 25 years. Renowned for its fresh fish and seafood, hand-cut steaks, traditional and contemporary pasta dishes, homemade desserts and extensive wine list, Giuseppe’s captures its guests with the ambiance of candlelight, easy sounds of slow jazz and a taste of passion which flows from your fork, making every dish its own invitation to return. Whether you prefer a table in the main dining room, the lounge, or the patio, Giuseppe’s is the perfect romantic spot for dates and anniversaries, and it’s also a favorite for large gatherings of family and friends. Giuseppe’s Private Dining Room provides a relaxed, intimate venue for business and social events. That is how something so hidden still stands out, and that is why those who find us return again and again.

Everything was great especially our server Bailey. Food was tasty, steak could have been served hot temperature wise, but that was only complaint we had. Next time I may mention I really like a steak served on warmer side. But overall was pretty perfect. Lovely evening with our kiddos .

About the restaurant


The Blue Heron Steakhouse is located in the thriving historic Jefferson Street corridor. We offer an excellent menu with steakhouse classics and modern Southern fare with specialties such as fresh oysters, the finest cuts of beef, shrimp and grits and more. Our restaurant started as a hand-crafted cocktail bar and consumer demand made it obvious that we needed to expand to a full-service kitchen. The Blue Heron is situated in a renovated home with exposed brick, a beautiful, locally crafted chandelier, a roaring two-sided fireplace in the colder months. Locally owned and loaded with character, The Blue Heron is a perfect setting for an intimate date, an evening with friends or simply a casual dinner while watching the game.

Even though it was a low traffic period for Vallozzis they weren’t shifting into low gear. The food was as good as last time we visited. The service was spot on. We enjoyed our quiet lunch immensely.

Lexington
About the restaurant
AZUR restaurant & patio was designed after European establishments providing the feel of being in a different place without leaving Lexington. The food is described as new American and Heirloom Contemporary. The chefs react to what comes at them from the local markets making our cuisine locally influenced, but worldly inspired. The walls are bold blues and greens with curves throughout. The interior space flows outside through three sets of French doors onto the elegant stone bordered brick patio. Weather permitting, the patio is opened and the patio sides could be lowered for inclement weather.

Perfect meeting place for fine dining. Reservations were a breeze. Courteous welcome upon arrival. Drink menu is perfect- not limited to JF wines and the cocktails are wonderful. We started with the charcuterie board which had in house made crackers, sausage, variety of cheeses and some chutney which was delicious. We all had a different entree and none of us left anything Portions are moderate in size and easy to consume. Others came and left while we were there- some to dine some to just have a drink and sit outside. The chef came out personally to check on us which was a lovely personal touch. This is a great place to eat. Personal attention is given to all patrons. We never felt rushed in fact they were so kind we had no idea we had stayed for over three hours.

Service was ok. Our server was slow and they were not busy. The wine is very good and the food is pretty good not great. It is a bit expensive for what you get. We all liked the wine flights. Great atmosphere!
