I loved the food !! Excellent staff but I was a little weirded out by a cook in the store that kept touching the girl the clearly seem uncomfortable on Friday I was disgusted while seeing that I think I saw her talk to a manager she didn’t seem to do anything about it because the boy touch her again i am very disappointed on how they didn’t help the poor girl I hope she’s okay I haven’t seen her around again

I was here as one of the string quartet musicians to play for an event that was held by a local gentleman. I don't have many pics because I was busy playing and then eating. The event organizer graciously provided a meal for all of us so thats the pic I provided here. As you can see, I think you can expect elegance and class here along with attention to details. The staff were nice and professional. An Elegant high class place.

LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY Lexington, known as the “Horse Capital of the World,” is home to more than 400 horse farms, a budding culinary scene, and an abundance of bourbon, as the city produces 95 percent of the world’s total supply. At Kentucky Horse Park, a working horse farm and one of the world’s best equine competition facilities, visitors can see diverse breeds of horses at the Parade of Breeds Show, meet thoroughbred legends at the Hall of Champions, go on a walking barn tour to see police horses, take a trail ride, and more. In addition, the park features museums, tours, and campgrounds. From June 6-9, the park will host the 45th annual Festival of the Bluegrass, a traditional, family-run Bluegrass festival where guests enjoy performances from top artists, food and craft vendors, and camping. Children interested in the music can attend a music camp for kids, offered for all levels of instruction. The Lexington Distillery District, home to the famous James E. Pepper Distillery and once abandoned for 50 years, is now the city’s hottest area for entertainment, craft beer, and delicious food. A popular spot along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Lexington boasts six historic distilleries open for tours. Vintage homes in Lexington include the Mary Todd Lincoln House built in 1803 with displays of personal possessions and period antiques of President Abraham Lincoln’s wife. In addition to traditional southern cuisine, visitors can find many international restaurants offering specialties from Asian-fusion, to Caribbean, and beyond. Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport, set among picturesque horse farms, is accessible with about 100 direct and nonstop flights.

I didn’t even know this place existed. It’s one of those nice but not really well publicized places you just happen to stumble upon. The service and food was really was fantastic. I went to Asbury College (now University) for 4 years and my wife and I returned to Lexington for another 4 years in the early 2,000s.......I’m a golfer and I’ve never even heard of this place!! Regardless, we went in the early fall and it really was a beautiful place. We definitely recommend it and will be returning in the fall of this year.
