    Food was very good- the lettuces salad was very tasty and unique to me with that pistachio cream- yum! The octopus was ok- some was a little chewy, some wasn’t. Romesco was great. The filet was perfectly cooked and seasoned well and nice crust. The pork chop was really delicious as well- juicy and the mustard sauce was perfect with it. The Spaetzle and Okinawa potatoes were just average for us. Pretty pricey restaurant and service was good-nice and weren’t wanting anything but not quite the caliber of something like Dudley’s and prices are similar. Beautiful restaurant. Wine list leaves a little to be desired. Whiskey prices seemed a little high comparatively to some other places in town.

    The food and service were excellent. The smoked airline chicken with twice baked potato was absolutely delicious! We had a wonderful anniversary dinner!

    1. Starters: the Crab Soup was wonderful, some of the best we've had. The meatballs are outstanding, and a huge portion. 2. Mains: the pork chop was so tasty, the steak frites were excellent. The only thing we did not really love was the Okinawa sweet potatoes - they were a little too sweet. You can easily substitute another side. 3. Cocktails: Ghost of Gratz Park and any bourbon are very well crafted. We sat by the fire and it was cozy and pleasant. Service was excellent. It's a little pricey but the food, service, and ambience are worth it.

    Very nice meal and experience, one of the nicest we've had in Lexington. I had the mushroom ravioli and my wife had the she crab soup.
