Fine Dining Restaurants in Lexington, KY

“Cole’s is a beautiful dining experience with educated staff and a lovely menu!“

“A drop in food quality and serving staff professionalism since our last visit. The Peruvian braised chicken, relatively new to the menu, was an amalgam of weird flavors with no distinctive character. The chicken was very dry and my taste buds were not impressed. The salmon tartare appetizer had very fresh salmon, but was overwhelmed by capers and lacked any other flavorings - dill, chives/onion were not promised and did not show up. The tuxedo sundae was outstanding and the star of the show. Don't miss this! One other good food note, the filet mignon came out almost raw instead of medium rare. They fixed that promptly but it should have been done properly the first time. The noise was overwhelming on a Monday night with heavy wine drinkers shouting over each other in unrestrained fashion. So, not great for romantic evenings or conversations with friends.“

“Food is pretty hit or miss. All the places that serve the same thing are mid, but the workers are generally pretty nice. The cafeteria itself is pretty chill, realistically a 3.5/5.

For fellow broke college students, I recommend getting at least one of the green takeout boxes, I prefer 2 (one for dry food, the other for wet food). This will help you cut your meal expenses from ~$12 per meal down to ~$5.

Dietary restrictions: They have a place for people w/ food allergies, as well as a vegan restaurant and a salad bar.“
