  I have eaten here before and the food is good and interesting. Since it was late and I didnt want a full meal, I ordered two small plates. Chicken satay, four skewers served with cucmbers and peanut sauce for dipping, was good but a bit bland for my tastes. I was excited to see brocollini bagna cauda on the menu, however I was disappointed when it arrived to find only brocollini with a balsamic drizzle and seasoned panto or bread crumbs, not the traditional anchovy garlic dip I was expecting. The broccoli nice was tasty, it just wasn't bagna causal. Because I had been drinking earlier and still had a long drive home I asked if the bartender could make a nonalcoholic cocktail that wasnt sweet. He made me a mule sans alcohol that was very good. Though my visit wasn't perfect, its still a great place to go for a nice upscale dinner.

  I had the pleasure of visiting poppy and olive this morning for the first time. I was so impressed by the gorgeous atmosphere, and this restaurant is such a unique addition to Lexington’s Warehouse district. I was meeting a friend for coffee and ended up bringing my two year old with me at the last minute. I always feel apprehensive about bringing kids to a venue I haven’t visited before, but I was pleasantly surprised that there were the perfect offerings for both me and my son. I enjoyed the best cup of coffee, and my son picked out a Nutella pastry with milk. The staff was exceptionally pleasant and helpful, and my experience was perfect. When my son finished his breakfast, and I still had some visiting to do with my friend, he began to curiously wander around the restaurant. I followed him worried that he might break something - but I realized there was nothing that could be broken. A staff member approached us and kindly engaged with my son, and assured me that he was welcome to explore. He then brought out a coloring page and play dough, and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. My son enjoyed playing for another half hour. I will definitely be making poppy and olive my go-to coffee stop, and I can’t wait to go back. When I got home, I looked at their website, and was so impressed by their amazing menu. I can’t wait to go back with my family for dinner. In my experience, family-friendly restaurants often lack quality menu choices, and restaurants that offer an impressive menu are typically not an ideal environment for children. Poppy and olive is the perfect combination of family inclusiveness with a unique menu for foodies in a beautiful environment. I am so impressed by this establishment, and I can not recommend it enough.
