    Chef Melissa is neat. She cares about guest experience, as does her team.

    We've eaten here a couple of times on visits to Lexington and the food and service has always been outstanding. Our latest visit last week was no exception. My husband and I both ordered the salmon. My husband isn't a fan of blackened, so he asked if there was some type of sauce they could do instead. The chef, Melissa, came out to talk with him and suggested a sauce she could do. It was phenomenal! It was so nice of her to take the time and effort to make sure we were happy. She also whipped up a couple of starter salads topped with her housemade buttermilk ranch dressing that she had made fresh that morning. It was perfect! BTW, I had the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and sautéed squash that was outstanding. For dessert, we had an apple crustada type dessert that was light and fresh. Excellent. We will definitely be returning our next visit.

    We had great service from Valarie, our server. The food was great! She went above and beyond for us. The bartender was fabulous as well. He knows his craft well.

    This was pretty bad service and pretty bad environment when we went. The server had no clue about anything on the menu and the bartender had to be told how to make a mule. The air was also over 80 degrees and it was miserable. No comp on anything and had to ask multiple times for ice in our water. We couldn't even eat our food it was so hot and it also took forever when it was only us and one other table.

    Probably the worst service I’ve seen in a ver long time. Staff is rude and stand around. Waited at the table for over 10 minutes, had to ask for a menu. This place sucks.
