"This is a beautiful establishment that doesn't look like it belongs in a strip mall. Such a warm speakeasy style wood interior with distances tables and a laid…”more"
"The restaurant is locally owned and operated, with two other locations in Lexington. The menu features salads, sandwiches, pizzas as well as dinner entrees in an upscale pub atmosphere. Original dishes include the Kentucky Hot Brown Pizza, decorated with creamy mornay sauce, ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar-jack cheese, and fresh tomatoes."
"From the owners of Thai Orchid Cafe (which I still miss), who started making ice cream for the cafe and ended up having crazy demand for the ice cream, so opened a shop!. They serve ice cream, sorbet, sundaes and even ice cream cocktails at their Distillery District location. The ice cream is very rich – the chocolate is extra chocolately in the most delicious way – and creamy."
"Crank & Boom ice cream started when the owners were looking for a dessert to serve in their Thai restaurant. The ice cream was so popular it became their passion project and they now crank (see what I did there?) out a variety of flavors made in house using local, all-natural ingredients. I’m partial to the Bourbon & Honey and Kentucky Blackberry and Buttermilk flavors."
"Located at 1210 Manchester St., the spot to score desserts, ice cream and frozen yogurt is the highest-rated dessert spot in Lexington, boasting 4.5 stars out of 279 reviews on Yelp."
"If you are looking for a spot to have a drink before your reservation at Dudley’s, or maybe you want to walk your dog to a place that allows pets, your new favorite place to go might be Centro. It’s in the courtyard area near downtown’s Fifth Third Bank Pavilion. “I like Centro on Saturdays,” says Adam Duddy, a senior at the University of Kentucky, who’s from Louisville."
"For a romantic, relaxed atmosphere with authentic French cuisine, Le Deauville is the place to be. Eating in the Bouchon Room will make you feel like you’re eating in the City of Lights, as will their tantalizing menu with entrees such as bouillabaisse, escargot and dijonnaise. It’s a perfectly romantic setting."
"Le Deauville offers traditional French bistro food in a renowned relaxed atmosphere. You can chose from an extensive wine list while dining in an airy space or outdoor terrace in the famous historical section of Lexington. See Valentine’s Day menu: HERE."
"Best college hangout What do you get when you combine live music, Fireball Whiskey karaoke, trivia and daily drink specials?. The ideal college hang, of course. Such is Tin Roof, located just steps from campus and forever drawing a crowd, albeit a raucous one."
"I definitely recommend coming hungry because like any good southern mama they are going to stuff you full. This kid friendly joint has a laid-back vibe and is in the heart of one of Lexington’s oldest neighborhoods."
