After the Johnny Carino's in Frankfort closed abruptly after taking reservations for our extended…read morefamily to have Thanksgiving dinner, I received an email thanking us for our patronage of the Frankfort location and offering a free dinner at this Lexington location. We took them up on their offer! We were seated promptly in the early afternoon and the restaurant was quiet and not crowded, possibly due to the time of day. Our server Isaiah was quite attentive and did a good job. We both started with a Caesar salad. Hubby ordered his favorite, chicken bowtie festival, and I splurged with the shrimp scampi. The food was delicious, and I had enough to enjoy as leftovers the next day. While we're disappointed that the closest location is now a little over 30 miles away, we will return when in the neighborhood.

They are probably going to close sooner than later and they clearly don't care. The food was edible but the only reason that I went was for the free meal coupon that they sent in the mail. If I had paid the full price I would've been very upset. Years ago we used to come here and it wasn't bad but it has really gone downhill since.

This was one of the best dining experiences in all of Lexington. The food was fresh and our server…read morewas fantastic. He refilled our beverages before we realized we needed more, and gave us great advice on what to order. We went here for our anniversary and they gave us a free slice of cake to celebrate. The ambiance is fantastic and there was even live music on the night we visited. We will definitely be back.

What a great find after a long day on the Bourbon Trail (I mean someone has to do it)…read more We had a great server who enthusiastically gave a tour of their menu. I had the meatloaf and it was awesome. My lady had the shrimp and grits. We sat on the porch. It's just down the road from Woodford Distillery.

Charming place close to Castle and Key. Very busy, and it looks like there's always a wait. It…read morelooks like you could make reservations, though! This place is quite small, and just a warning only one bathroom. It's pretty congested by the bathroom door, and there isn't really anywhere good to wait. This could be difficult for someone with disabilities. Service was on the slow side, but very friendly. We tried the smashburger Kentucky style, and the smoked fried bologna. Both were good, and we would definitely return when in the area to try something else too. There's an outdoor area with some picnic tables, cornhole, and chalk for kids to write on the sidewalks.

The southern biscuit platter is how you should do brunch!…read more My recent visit didn't feature the best service (except from the hostess... she was not only best dressed, but also seemed to be running the floor!), but the biscuit platter was still fabulous! I requested figs (on another menu item), and my served said 'sorry, the kitchen is out.' Well, the kitchen had given me figs, and the figs, ham, and cheese on a biscuit... perfection. Thank goodness for great hostesses and a fabulous kitchen! Side note: there were also no Bloody Marys because 'the kitchen ate them...' Definitely made my day in terms of language!
