“During our visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, we had the distinct pleasure of dining at what has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the area. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—flavorful, expertly prepared, and perfectly paired with a diverse and impressive collection of bourbons. What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made it feel like more than just a meal out, but rather an experience shared with friends. The staff’s hospitality and dedication to making every guest feel at home contributed to what was undoubtedly a memorable evening. We are already eagerly anticipating our next visit and look forward to enjoying another fantastic meal, discovering more exceptional bourbons, and sharing the experience with some great friends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Bourbon Country region—whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and service.”

“For anyone looking for spicy & crispy fried chicken sandwich or tenders, this is an absolute must try. Food quality is excellent for those seeking flavor and spice. Fries were great, chicken was crispy and tender. The Dave's sauce was very delicious with the sandwich or fries. Overall, highly recommended for food variety and quality. Looks like they are a small chain with small staff, so dining space/tables is not that kept up depending on the time you go. Very friendly service.
Vegetarian options: Not much, other than just the fries which are really good.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are a few parking spots for the disabled.”

“This is the best sushi place I have ever had, and my friend and I will only go to this restaurant for sushi! We come here often, and everything is always so fresh and delicious! The owner of Osaka is also very passionate about the food and cares a lot for his customers.
The selection here has a broad variety, and is affordable, and of high quality. For raw sushi choices, I highly recommend the oishi roll, truffle roll, and dragon fly roll! The sushi sandwich is also very good as well for people who enjoy smoked eel! The kalbi beef short ribs is my personal favorite, and I always get it along several dishes of sushi. By far, Osaka is my favorite restaurant ever!”

Don't know who the female was that you were working with but she should've just pulled you to the side if there was a problem, or she had a question.

Korean • $
“Han Woo Ri Han Woo Ri is a gem for Korean cuisine! I recently dined here and was thoroughly impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food. Shrimp Tempura The shrimp tempura was perfectly crispy and light. The batter didn’t overwhelm the shrimp, letting the natural sweetness of the seafood shine through. Paired with the dipping sauce, it was a great start to the meal. Gyoza The gyoza were delightful—pan-fried to golden perfection with a tender, flavorful filling. The balance of textures, from the crispy exterior to the juicy interior, was spot on. Dol Sot Bibim Bap The highlight of the meal was the Dol Sot Bibim Bap. Served sizzling in a hot stone bowl, the rice formed a perfect crispy layer at the bottom. The mix of fresh vegetables, marinated beef, and a perfectly runny egg, made for a hearty and satisfying dish. The ambiance of Han Woo Ri complements the food well, with a cozy and welcoming vibe. The service was attentive without being overbearing, making the dining experience even better. If you’re looking for high-quality Korean food, Han Woo Ri is a must-visit!”

Let me first say, I visited the Broadway location on 1/19/25 and cannot wait to come back. The environment was great including the decor and the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had the breakfast tacos and took home the chicken salad and it was amazing. I couldn't leave without snagging a couple cups, hoodie, and a sticker. Having a passion for those in recovery (I have 12.5 years myself) I couldn't wait to get myself in this place and now I can't wait to come back!!”

If you’ve never been make a reservation and go. a lot of the appetizers are tapas style so don’t think it’s all you can eat hog trough. Hint— if you make reservations tell them you want yo have the paella ready about 30 -40 minutes after you arrive to give you time to sample some appetizers. We ordered the small which fed two people but should have ordered the large to have leftovers. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food that I’ve had has been tremendous. Show them some love.”

“The girls and I visited Harvey's over the weekend. We came fairly early (5pm) hoping to get parking and a seat in the bar for all of us -- it was already busy with one lonely seat available. Nevertheless, the crowd was coming and going quickly enough to snag good seats without a lot of waiting. The drinks were delicious and well prepared, and our bartender, Erin, was lovely to work with. She made us a finale drink that she called an Andes Mint Martini that was really yummy and perfect for the holiday season. Other drinks we had were Elwood's Old Fashioned, Tequila Mockingbird, a Cosmo, and the Nate-spresso Martini. All were delicious! There's also a charcuterie station in the back that prepared a beautiful spread of meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts, and sweet and savory condiments, and worth the $65 to feed our group. If you haven't visited Harvey's yet, don't wait!”

They were as close to perfection as you can get. My compliments to the chef. we were too full to try the deserts but I am sure they would have been great.

The true star of the night is Jordan, the bartender. Jordan's friendly demeanor and engaging conversations make the experience truly special. The rest of the staff are equally fantastic. They are attentive, courteous, and always go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels valued. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic evening out!”

“Best steak and salad I’ve had at any restaurant! Waiter was great too!”
Steak House • $$$
“Almost everything about the restaurant is very good. Steak was succulent, attentive waiter and busy, even had a nice atmosphere. I give it 4 stars only because a ribeye steak with 1 side cost $70 dollars without the tip. No biggie for wealthy folks but pricey for normal working class.”

“The service is outstanding and the food is delicious with large portions. The calamari is fantastic but you will need 3-4 people to eat it. The first time there I ordered the grouper chef special dinner. My mother ordered the mahi chef special. Both were delicious. The cannolis were fantastic with the extra orange zest in the filling. The second time I ate dinner with my husband for our anniversary and I ordered the salmon dish and my husband ordered a veal dish with a reduction sauce. Both dishes were outstanding. For dessert we ordered the tartufo. I had never heard of it and was intrigued. I did not regret it. So very good and highly recommend this dessert covered in dark chocolate with raspberry, pistachio and dark chocolate gelato.”

“First timing trying this place. Fill place, feels like a neighborhood spoke with some unique dishes on the menu.
I got the Lumberjack burger. It came out raw, ordered it medium. They took it back I expected a new burger, the simply further cooked the burger. This time it was well done. Not a big deal flavor was still there, juicy and well seasoned. However, I think much of the Beer cheese had cooked off.
We got the salad with orange vinaigrette and it was very good. The squash soup was also nice on a snowy day.
Service was excellent and enjoyed the experience. The only negative was the burger cook and the not getting a new burger. Just kind of pointless to ask for how I’d like it cooked.
Would eat here again though”

“My mom and her fiancé drove in from Gulf Shores, AL to attend my son’s (her grandson’s) college graduation from UK. I was able to book them 2 night at the Clarion for the event. After Saturday’s commencement, we wanted to celebrate. My mom and her fiancé were so impressed with Sedona Taphouse from the previous evening, that they treated us to an early dinner along with some drinks there. It was amazing from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. Our server was a delight, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the GM, Ben as he came over to not only check on us, but to shake my son’s hand and personally congratulate him on his achievement. He really made a big deal about his accomplishment and even went as far to pay for his meal, drinks and dessert. So unexpected! Ben went above & beyond and that food and atmosphere was outstanding. We frequent Lexington often, I’ve found my new spot for lunch or dinner. Thank you Ben!! We can’t thank you enough for making Mason’s special day even more memorable.”

“Everything at Honeywoood is done with such beautiful intentionality, like all of a Ouita Michel’s creations. It is no accident that you feel surrounded by Kentucky history, agriculture and the arts when you enter any of her establishments. The food is no exception. While she could not possibly be in all restaurants at the same time, she selects the best team members to represent her vision and values. We loved every part of our experience at Honeywood. Food: creamy grits and polenta, slow cooked greens, risotto, local beef and quail, fresh seasonal vegetables, crispy country ham, deviled eggs stuffed with lump crab???? AND those damn sweet potato beignets!!! Never disappoint. service is top notch, without all the fanfare of a fine dining restaurant. Wine list and craft cocktails are legit. Anything goes and we felt comfortable in fancy duds and blue jeans with a T-shirt (which you can purchase in any of her places as well as her cookbook). Thank you, Ouita, and her cool a** hubby, Chris.”

“Hostess was friendly but probably not the best personality for a hostess.
Sever (Isaac) was absolutely awesome. Friendly and helpful. Food was an 8/10. The salad and Brussels sprouts were both really good. The medium rare steak came out medium well. Isaac took it right back and had a fresh steak prepared which was closer to medium rare at the thick end but dried up at the thinner end. For the money, I would have appreciated a more even cut of steak that could be prepared more consistently.
Atmosphere is nice and I'll be back.”

“Very good authentic Mexican. The food is different than the traditional Mexican restaurant but great in it's own way. Best bang for your buck is the lunch and dinner buffet. This time we came in before the buffet and got our food within 10 mins. Some of it packs some heat so be sure to ask if it is spicy. Friendly staff and the owner is the sweetest. Try the in house horchata and michelada they are the best.”

“Such a an abundance of culinary offerings. all beautifully and masterfully prepared. Always an meal adventure. (Unfortunately, the owner has never addresses the fact that the 2016 bottles of Beuhler Chardonnay have started to turn. My friend and I each had a glass and I purchased the rest to take home. The glass at home confirmed the change in the wine which has been an all time favorite for years. Several month ago, I took the time and wrote to mention this fact. Even a 5 year old Chardonnay is pushing the limit. Sadly, I did not receive the respect of a response not to mention removing the stock that remained.”

“If I could give this place 10 Stars I would! My husband and I were traveling back home to Michigan after our trip to Mammoth Cave National Park. We had a fun afternoon of burbon drinking after camping and Desperately needed something to eat. Unfortunately, it was so late everything was closed. In a last ditch effort we spontaneously asked a passing local of ANY WHERE we could eat He immediately pointed us to Minglewood. We arrived an hour before close and quickly and apologetically ordered a couple cocktails and some food. I had the pimento hamburger and GIRL LEMME TELL YOU!!! Iv never had a hamburger more delicious in my entire life! It doesn’t stop there, we then had the absolute pleasure of meeting the LADY BOSS (maybe the owner? I was pretty tipsy by then lol) She was AMAZING and after bonding of chef life and hearing how much I love chicken wings, she suggested they had the BEST and proceeded to make us an order HERSELF even tho they were pretty much closed! OH. MY. ACTUAL. GOSH…SHE WAS NOT WRONG! I can’t tell you how serious I am when I tell you these were the BEST wings Iv ever had!! We are going to be camping in Smoky Mountains National Park for New Years weekend and have planned our trip specifically to include a stop here again for those wings! Do your mouth a favor and eat here. -Rose & Todd”

“We have eaten here several times and have enjoyed our meals very much. Unfortunately, last night did not go as well. We sat in a booth where I had a clear view of the food prep area as the swinging door into the area did not close when a staff member entered. As we were waiting for our food, I watched and an employee sitting inside the door was on his phone and vaping the entire time, until he finally got up and moved out of sight. The service was slower than we have experienced in the past, seemed very disorganized. Not to mention that the metal wall next to our booth was filthy.”

I highly recommend ordering the Chicken or Goat Biryani Rice coupled with a Chicken Chargha leg quarter. Top it off with a hot cup of Masala tea. If you're more in the mood for a Middle Eastern flavor, definitely try the Chicken Shawarma wrap. The food here is flavorful, delectable and mouthwatering.”

The customer service is above and beyond, like nothing you’ve ever seen before, they are super friendly and treat you like you’re a guest in their home. They have a question of the day you answer it and the answer and table number is called out and that’s when you know your order is ready. They make it fun! Their cinnamon biscuits are out of this world. I’m from NJ so biscuits to me are not my thing until I had these and the Manager Mike is super cool, humble and awesome!

“For anyone looking for spicy & crispy fried chicken sandwich or tenders, this is an absolute must try. Food quality is excellent for those seeking flavor and spice. Fries were great, chicken was crispy and tender. The Dave's sauce was very delicious with the sandwich or fries. Overall, highly recommended for food variety and quality. Looks like they are a small chain with small staff, so dining space/tables is not that kept up depending on the time you go. Very friendly service.

And the place is very old and down stair is an over flow restroom u would be complaining if it was closed. Yes it has water in floor but also seen a boy and girl playing in sink and stall. Over 5 out of if I could give 6 stars I would.”
