    Bluegrass Blackberry
    Mercedes J.

    It might be unfair leaving a 5 star review only eating one menu item time and time again. But every time I'm in Lexington I come get this salad. I can't another one like it in Nashville and it drives me crazy. But now I know I'm a fan of chicken salad. This place just has this beautiful subtly sweet salad and I can't live without it. The salad builders are always kind and friendly. They get me in and out quickly. I really wish this was closer to home but I'm so glad I get the pleasure to visit often to get my fix

    Pharaoh Bowl
    Harmonie T.

    Yes! I've been eating lots of heavy and not-so-healthy foods since arriving in Lexington. So on the 5th day of our trip, I just really wanted a salad. Vinaigrette has been on my radar for years. Today was the day that we finally visited one of the locations. Two items on the menu are automatically vegan: one salad and one grain bowl. Meateater Hubby and I got them both! The Vegan Power Salad has quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, red peppers, sunflower seeds, edamame, and a whole bunch of chopped greens. We got the lemon vinaigrette on the side and it also came with a handful of small pieces of bread. https://bit.ly/3lh8qmj The Pharaoh Bowl is romaine, farro, bulghur, cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, and chickpeas. It's usually topped with pita chips but since they were out, we topped it with plantains. This came with a super deliciously thick tahini dressing. https://bit.ly/392lWV2 I also enjoyed the Ginger Turmeric Lemonade! The guy on staff was super friendly and super helpful. Very welcoming, especially when we told him it was our first time at Vinaigrette. I would probably give this place 4 stars for the food alone but the great service bumped it up to 5 stars!

    Bluegrass Blackberry with chicken. I got mine with salmon.

    Wow what a great place! My family stopped here as we were passing through Lexington and are so pleased we did! Service was impeccable, food is stellar, and the lemonades are so fun! My kids were raving about everything. My ten year old said this is his favorite lunch place. We got the bluegrass blackberry salad and it was so good. The kids got the BLT and loved it too. My favorite lemonade was the carrot ginger because the blackberry salad was sweet and that lemonade wasn't as sweet as the others. The kids got mixtures of course. This place is not to miss!

    This is food my food eats. I hate salads and salads hate me. (They lose a star just for being a salad restaurant)But if I am going to eat a salad, it might as well be the best salad in town. The soups are mediocre. I didn't find them to be very tasty. The best part is the different flavors of lemonade. Pumpkin spice lemonade and cucumber lemonade are my favorites. Seriously, I know they can't help that my tummy doesn't appreciate leafy greens, but that doesn't mean that I don't still get sad when all my friends want salad.

    Acapulco Caesar!  Maybe there a couple of bites taken out of this before I tried to make it pretty again.
    Jimmy S.

    Sometimes when you are traveling, you just don't want anymore fast food and this place hit the spot. I got the Acapulco Caesar and it was very crisp and flavorful, with a nice little spicy bite to it. It was very clean here and the staff was mucho friendly.

    Chicken Taco
    Jeremy R.

    Looking for a healthy option for a delicious meal? Definitely check out Vinaigrette! I got the Chicken Taco Salad. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. The chicken was tasty, along with the black beans, tortilla strips, tomatoes, and cheese. It comes with an avocado sauce and chipotle dressing. Definitely, my favorite thing I've tried here. Tip: you can make any salad a wrap for no extra charge! I also tried the pumpkin bisque. Definitely recommend!! It was sweet and hearty with a bit of a kick to it. Vinaigrette is conveniently located near the Walmart off Winchester. There is a wonderful patio for seating, work, homework, or more during the warmer months. They also have a rewards card where you collect stickers to gain free soup, salad, drink, etc.

    Pumpkin bisque soup & Harvest Kale 1/2 salad - highly recommend !!!
    Karisa G.

    Feeling under the weather so I decided to DoorDash something extra healthy. I am so glad I did! This was my first time trying Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen. I have had my eye on it for a while I'm so sad I haven't tried it sooner. I ordered the Harvest Kale half salad and pumpkin bisque soup. I highly recommend! Delicious flavors and fresh ingredients. The honey balsamic dressing is to die for!! I could drink it ! The pumpkin bisque soup is warm and rich the perfect soup for cool weather and pairs perfectly with the kale salad! I will probably order again tomorrow and try something new!

    Harvest Kale
    Erin K.

    Such a cute spot for lunch! I purchased the half soup and half salad, and the total came out to under $10. I ordered the Harvest Kale salad with no cheese, and was allowed to substitute for another topping (awesome!), and the Sausage, Kale, and Potato soup. Both tasted fresh and delicious! My only complaint is next time I will ask for the dressing on the side, as the salad was too heavily dressed for my taste.

    Chicken salad
    Mariya G.

    I love how fresh everything is here! If you're looking for a quick healthy lunch this is a great place! You can choose between a salad or a grain bowl. I decided to go with the chicken salad and added some roasted red peppers to it. Next time I'll probably go with a grain bowl as those are more filling but overall super friendly service and fresh ingredients!

    Decided to take my girlfriend here on one of the nicer days we've had recently. It was definitely…read morethe right decision! Most of the seating is indoor inside of the Micher's Greenhouse there, so even if the weather hadn't of been nice it would have been a great time. There was great live music as well. We decided to get a bavarian pretzel to split, as well as her getting their raspberry crepe while I decided on their lemon curd crepe. Everything we had to eat was fantastic. Everything else I saw on the menu sounded delicious. Service was also quick and fantastic. The kitchen was pumping out food quick and the wait staff had it out to us as soon as possible. I'll always recommend this as a nice date spot for others.

    Weird experience. The food is fine, healthy-ish, but nothing to write home about. My husband's…read morenoodle salad was my favorite, followed by my cauliflower salad. I thought the beet & giant bean salad was meh, the pieces are cut huge so you really get about 4 beans and 6 pieces of beet. The grilled cheese is actually half a grilled cheese, which didn't have much cheese on it, and tasted faintly of horseradish. I couldn't finish mine. The hummus was good, you just don't get very much. Focaccia was alright, would have been better warmed. We ordered a Bavarian pretzel plate, which also came out room temp. I think that's a first for me at a restaurant. The focaccia, ok, it's for dipping and that's easier when it isn't so soft. But the pretzel? Like did it just get pulled out of a bag and tossed on the plate? I can't speak to the cheese because I tried it with mustard. There was so much horseradish in the mustard it almost blew my head off. I'm sure some people love that but I'm not one of them. Speaking of blowing up, a woman on a laptop had a kid that was goofing off around her table. He laid down on the bench and started sweeping rocks at some old lady. The old lady turns around to tell him to stop and the mom lost it on her. Like screeching. Idk, I get it to a certain extent but if you're trusting the world to watch your kid while you work, don't be surprised when the world asks your kid to not throw rocks at them. Then when I bussed my table (which I thought was what we are supposed to do here), there's a single bus tub to the right of the ordering window. To get there, I cut across the line sideways and not one but several people are giving side-eye because they had to *gasp* make way for someone to take their plates up. That's also where the bathroom is, so good luck if you sit to the left of the line, because apparently the other patrons expect you to walk through a maze of tables behind the line to get to the far side of the cafe. Summary: the food is fine, but not worth the rest of the experience. It's surprisingly unorganized and while it is beautiful, you can get better health food at the co-op or Whole Foods. The clientele on a Thursday morning was so uppity I would never come back.

    Full disclosure, as always: this was delivery/doordash. And that jacked the price up, which is…read morenot Athenian's fault. It also almost always affects the food, but overall I would call this 5/5 Greek. And it did arrive fast even after we ordered past 9 PM! I got the chicken gyro, extra meat. Chicken was juicy and moist. They did indeed give me a LOT of it. It was bursting out of the pita. Tons of fresh veggies included. The fries were crispy, could maybe have used a little more seasoning. Non-doordash without extra meat, is 11 dollars. You can get a combo with a side and a drink for 15 dollars (again, non DoorDash). My colleague got a gyro bowl, which he enjoyed. They allow you to build your own bowl, choosing grain or green, up to two dips, a protein, toppings, and dressing. Athena is the typical Greek restaurant (no insult meant by that). Usual suspects of spanakopitakia, falafel, Greek sausage, Greek salads, moussaka, chicken Santorini. They also have entrees like pastitsio, meatballs, grilled branzino, chicken Santorini, grilled lamb chops. They offer pasta and several other types of sandwiches. I enjoyed this spot, though would prefer it without the DoorDash next time. They have three locations in Lexington.

While we were waiting there was a steady stream of customers picking up their online orders. The staff was fast and efficient. There are no tables downstairs, but there are a few tables in a dining area upstairs. Everything was clean and bright! My husband ordered the Greek beef stew (Kokinisto) the beef was so tender you could break it apart with a plastic fork and swimming in a delicious red sauce. He chose lemon garlic potatoes and pita bread as his sides both were excellent! My son had the Avgolemono soup (a traditional Greek soup with chicken broth Arborio rice, egg, lemon and chicken) which he loved and an order of freshly made pita. I had the children's portion of Chicken Santorini in a sundried tomato mushroom sauce which was outstanding. The chicken was so tender that again it could be cut with a plastic fork and the sauce was heavenly. I had the roasted vegetables as my side to balance the calories from the rich sauce. Everything was wonderful and I highly recommend as a stop when you are in Lexington!
