I come here semi frequently, & have to say that this time around was extra great. my server Lilli was totally on it. I had everything I needed, my appetizer and entree were perfectly paced, and she was super sweet. Their salmon pesto special is awesome, along with their goat cheese crostini appetizer. portions were great for the price, wine selection is tolerable with familiar names. My favorite place to come for a relaxed lunch :)

Every time I visit this establishment it takes an exorbitant amount of time to receive our food and drinks which usually come out wrong. The serving staff is very friendly, however the managers aren’t welcoming or helpful in any manner and their wait times for receiving a table are inconsistent by at least 30 minutes from calling to arriving at the restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for anything other than a nice tea time.

I really want to like eating here but have issues every time I stop. They never have the item I am wanting and have to change my order last minute. Takes forever for a server to stop and take my order. Waited for over half an hour for my check and had to get up and go to the hostess stand and ask to pay. I should have just left. Over all from the time I sat down to when I asked to pay it was well over an hour and a half, and.it was just me. So hope you are not in any hurry. The food and service use to be amazing here but has really gone downhill the last couple years. You have better luck eating at one of the other restaurants nearby.

the dining experience in this restaurant never changes no matter how long its been since i last visited this place. The food is always great and so is the service. Get their tiramisu, its top tier; way better than cheesecake factory.

We've eaten here several times over the past few years. I can honestly say every meal has been well done. I love their salmon and catfish. Cooked perfectly. One of my favorite places in lexington to eat.

The food isn't bad, but it isn't amazing either and for the price it should be. The stroganoff was just bland, my teen hated his burger, my hot brown was alright. the fries are good. My biggest issue is service. Any time I come near this place, they blatantly ignore your presence until they're ready which, again, cost should dictate otherwise. Even a simple, I'll be with you in moment. You can literally stand there for 10 minutes, unsure if you're supposed to seat yourself as 3 workers pass by without a single acknowledgement.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get here.
Visited last night. Was excited to have the burger. Restrooms were gross. Took forever to be seated (no there wasn’t a wait), then took forever to receive our waters. Servers seemed annoyed we were there. We left and went downstairs to Palmers for a more expensive but delicious and welcoming experience.

Adorable little bistro tucked inside the coziest book store. Very reasonably priced and the food was very good. I tried the Kentucky Hot Brown which had a mornay sauce. I've never had this before but would compare it to a béarnaise sauce. It was delicious I just wish there was more of it! I couldn't leave without dessert so I got a piece of peanut butter pie to go and it was surprisingly amazing. In all honesty it didn't look like anything too special but it was heavy with peanut butter flavor and very rich!

can't say enough about this place. The staff is so kind. the atmosphere is bright and fun. I love watching the geese and swans while I eat. The food is always stellar.
