“I cannot speak highly enough of Mileta and the owner Dallas. I planned a surprise birthday party with 25 guests and Dallas worked hand in hand with me to make it so special. Every single person was blown away by the food, the servers were incredible, the rose room was an absolute DREAM and it left us all excited to come back. Mileta is the roaring 20s meets Italian delicacy and it’s done for vibrantly and authentically. They even printed up off menus that had happy birthday _______ on them. I’m still just blown away. Thank you so much.“

“I LOVE WALT'S FAVORITE SHRIMP. I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS THE STORY OF WALT.“

“excellent restaurant. We are repeat customers. Always have had good service, good food and drink. like many nice restaurants, prices have gone up but we will go back since they always seem to do well. Not too noisy which we value. location is good, easy to park and you can walk around shopping area before or after.“

“I hadn't been to this location before, but it was easy to get a table and the service was great. The food was well prepared and tasty. Our server had food runners, so we didn't have to wait for anything. It was an overall nice meal.“

“The staff are kind and helpful in this relaxed, casual spot. My fish tacos were so delish simply fried with an avacado sauce. I also tried the hushpuppies and they are the best I've had. I look forward to returning and trying more from the menu.“

“The best sushi I had in KY. Service and presentation were exquisite. A little gem in Lexington.“

“I have been on a crab kick lately so we tried Shaking Seafood and Wings tonight for the first time. It was phenomenal! The seafood (snow crab, head on shrimp, headless shrimp, crawfish) was all cooked perfectly and the crab legs were HUGE. Nothing was overcooked or rubbery and the sauce is delicious. The crawfish were really good and clean, too, and not tough even though I’m sure they had to have been frozen. The restaurant is very clean, everyone is friendly and service is fast and friendly. We will definitely return. Thank you for a great meal!“

“During our visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, we had the distinct pleasure of dining at what has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the area. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—flavorful, expertly prepared, and perfectly paired with a diverse and impressive collection of bourbons. What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made it feel like more than just a meal out, but rather an experience shared with friends. The staff’s hospitality and dedication to making every guest feel at home contributed to what was undoubtedly a memorable evening. We are already eagerly anticipating our next visit and look forward to enjoying another fantastic meal, discovering more exceptional bourbons, and sharing the experience with some great friends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Bourbon Country region—whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and service.“

“The food was fantastic and affordable. I went for the sea food boil, got craw fish, headless shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, and a boiled egg and it came out to 24 dollars without tip. It was amazing, and I was unable to finish it all! Recommend!“

“We ate at this location earlier this week and our waiter Brian Edwards was the best!!! He peeled my crab legs for me! Very pleasant young man that went above and beyond!“

“Very good food, friendly people. Their tres leches cake is perrfecctt“

“WOW!!! Mother's Day evening was spent at the one and only Jeff Ruby's in Lexington. There are no words to describe just how incredible this restaurant truly is! From the minute you walk in and are personally greeted by GM Farris Huehls, to the fabulous staff that attends to every detail, it was a night to be remembered. Over and over again Jeff Ruby's exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant! You will not regret it! Treat yourself and loved ones today to the one and only Jeff Ruby Experience.“

“Today my bestie and I tried Korean BBQ for the first time and it was AMAZING!!! First off the staff (I didn’t get the young ladies name) was BEYOND amazing she helped us choose our food and showed us all that we needed to do with cooking our own food. She was super sweet. The food was freaking amazing! We had the meat and seafood. Our first time trying squid and it was pretty good. We felt warm and welcomed here and it was truly an authentic experience. We definitely plan on returning to try more things.“

“Very good! Food and staff were wonderful. Try the croquettes!“

“2nd time here and I can’t say enough about the pecan crusted pork tenderloins!!! Have to try this dish when I return home. Desserts were huge! Loved the carrot cake!“

“What one of our team members says: "My husband and I tried Tony's this past weekend for the first time, and it might be our new favorite steakhouse in Lex! The service and atmosphere was incredible, and the food was some of the best we've ever had! The restaurant itself was beautiful, and we had a stunning view of downtown lex from our table. The service was also some of the best in Lex. Next time you plan on visiting, request Mason, he was our favorite server! This steakhouse is a must-try spot!!"“

“Everything was amazing the manager Brittany was amazing. We were in from Ohio and had a great time! Too notch service.“

“We often choose Shun Lee's when we're dining out with friends. The atmosphere is pleasant, the food is good, and the noise level is low, so you can actually carry on a conversation with friends in a pleasant atmosphere. We find that a real advantage.“

“The best deal around anywhere, especially for fish, is two pieces of fish, fries, two hush puppies for $6.35 including the tax. Grat tasting fish, which I am sure is the north Atlantic cod. Fried always piping hot.

Parking: Plenty of places to park around the store“

“Ultimate seafood, quick service, great seasoning!“

“We love everything about this place! The servers are sweet, knowledgeable, and on the ball, the atmosphere is old-world but clean, and the food is so good I'm pretty sure if I peeked into the kitchen I'd see a team of Nonas stirring all the pots. Our new favorite in Lexington 💚“

“Never seen this place until today. Stopped in for a white fish sandwich, slaw & hush puppies. Good size portions and great taste. Prices are reasonable. Only negative it’s carry out only no sit down dining available.“

“I had sushi and it was great. Fresh flavors, tight rolls, good rice. The appearance was good as well. The mango mojito or Fuji apple tini were very good with the meal. Service kept up with our drinks and food was served promptly. The atmosphere was simple for just a booth for sushi. The hibachi was much more lively and appeared worth a try seeing things from a distance.“

“steak and cheesy to please me🔥🤷🏿‍♂️“

“I visited for the first time today for the lunch buffet and decided to get a small amount of every dish offered as my experience with Indian cuisine has been sadly minimal (first time living in an area with this option). The staff was welcome, the service impeccable, and I am not exaggerating when I say I loved every single thing on my plate. This is my new favorite and I plan to come back often. Highly recommend!!!“

“My mom and her fiancé drove in from Gulf Shores, AL to attend my son’s (her grandson’s) college graduation from UK. I was able to book them 2 night at the Clarion for the event. After Saturday’s commencement, we wanted to celebrate. My mom and her fiancé were so impressed with Sedona Taphouse from the previous evening, that they treated us to an early dinner along with some drinks there. It was amazing from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. Our server was a delight, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the GM, Ben as he came over to not only check on us, but to shake my son’s hand and personally congratulate him on his achievement. He really made a big deal about his accomplishment and even went as far to pay for his meal, drinks and dessert. So unexpected! Ben went above & beyond and that food and atmosphere was outstanding. We frequent Lexington often, I’ve found my new spot for lunch or dinner. Thank you Ben!! We can’t thank you enough for making Mason’s special day even more memorable.“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in town. I love to chat with the owners as well. It's a very friendly environment in side and the food is amazing. I've been going here for years. I love the hot and spicy chicken but other things as well. The sweet tea is top notch. The fried rice is so fresh.“

“Delicious! The best Mongolian chicken! I swear I have searched all of Lexington looking for this Mongolian chicken recipe, and nothing else compares!“

“Hot food. Made to order. I enjoy the country style fish and hushpuppies. The $5.99 feature meal is great value. I go there with my young grandchildren...they really enjoy the food, too. The restaurant had a steady crowd, but we were served timely.

Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren enjoy the food. The staff are pleasant.“

“Absolutely amazing. Very good steak! Servers were good and on top of drinks. Not too fancy but the atmosphere was still quite nice. You can dress casual or fancy, they don't care at all. Food was plentiful and great. I didn't have any cheesecake so I can't speak on it, but I've heard their cheesecake is really good.“

“We always enjoy sitting outside at Palmers! Wonderful food and fantastic service!!!“

“One team member said: "We tried BD's Mongolian Grill for the first time this weekend and it was such a fun lunch spot! You can build your own bowl and they have so many great options! Once you've selected your meal, you get to watch them cook it in front of you. The food was amazing and the service was also amazing! This is a must-try spot in Hamburg!"“

“Im from Tn and a little different than mexican restuarants back home. Didnt have choice of beef or shredded chicken, just chunky chicken, steak or seafood. Decent kids menu. One thing i wasnt impressed with was no sweet tea. Kids got chicken nuggets, and quesadillas with white rice and veggies, adults got chicken nacho fajitas which were good. Never had white rice at mexican restuarant, but overall decent. Decent lunch prices. Family of 2 adults and 4 kids were around $53. No bathrooms though. Or they wouldnt let us use it, but id still recommend to eat here. Friendly employees.

Parking: Parking in front of building“
