“Exceptional meal from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What truly set this place apart, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive—some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced anywhere. You can tell they genuinely care about both the food and the people they serve.

“I had an amazing lunch date with my mom and sister at Osaka! The staff provided wonderful service and greeted us warmly from the moment we arrived. We were served delicious appetizers that were beautifully presented and absolutely tasty.

One thing I really loved was their lunch special it’s one of the best deals around and very filling for the price. In the photo, I ordered the New York Kosher Roll, Philadelphia Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll, and every roll was fresh and delicious. We also enjoyed some cheesecake bites and mochi ice cream for dessert, which were the perfect sweet treat to end our meal.

I also included a photo of the lunch special menu for anyone who may be interested. The food arrived on time, everything was reasonably priced, and the overall experience was fantastic. I’ll definitely be coming back! :)“

“Tammy McNew was great! Best server ever. Food was good too. 😎“

“First visit to their new location - quiet, funky and laid-back spot for delicious, eye-watering Cajun/Fusion; Tammy's Thai Peanut is definitely choice! ??? Also, I could go through a gallon of Stingin' Honey in little more than a month - it's addictive! ?

Vegetarian options: Tammy's Thai Peanut Etouffee w/ peppers, baby-corn, etc. is the featured veg entree (its great!), but there are a couple more.“

“Wonderful experience! We started with a perfectly crafted cosmopolitan. For an appetizer, we split the shrimp cocktail. It arrived with 4 extra large Shrimp, perfect amount to split. I had the steak frites. Only criticism, I wish they sliced the fillet. Otherwise, it was excellent. My friend ordered the meatball special which was outstanding. We finished off splitting the. Sundae. It was calorie worthy. Overall, You don’t want to miss this dining experience when you visit Lexington.“

“What a great treat! The host greeted us with the most genuinely enthusiastic hello and introduced all the front of house staff by name, made recommendations and directed us to the cashier. Speaking of, she was equally delightful and helpful. Now, let’s talk about the real stuff…. The food… OMG!! Tso’s tacos, biscuits, coffee, honey butter, and… and… and… THE GRAVY! We will be back!“

“A visit to the Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. is a great way to experience both bourbon and bourbon-barrel-aged beer in one stop. The visitor center, set inside a historic ice house, adds a unique and authentic backdrop to the tour.

While the beer production has since moved to Founders Brewing Co., the tour still offers a solid tasting lineup that showcases a variety of beer expressions. On the distilling side, the Town Branch Bourbon tasting is decently done, featuring a few distinctive profiles that stand out from more traditional pours.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable and informative experience—especially for those interested in the intersection of craft beer and bourbon in the heart of Kentucty.“

“Great pizza, amazing small business owner highly recommend, best wings in town“

“Jeff Ruby's is about more than good food, it's an experience. My husband and I have been loyal customers for over 10 years. We drive nearly 2 hours 1 way, sometimes multiple times a month, just to eat here. We have visited every restaurant except the Columbus location. The steak is always amazing but it's the service that really puts these restaurants over the top for us. Lexington is our favorite location because Jon Wright works there and he's the best!“

“Stumbled across this restaurant looking for something to eat on Valentines - AMAZING❗️❗️ We will be back very soon. The bread pudding and pie is to die for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Cajun food. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day special ❤️“

“I was to late for the last tour, but was able to do a tasting at the bar and get my Bourbon Trail Passport stamped. Very helpful staff. The distillery is tucked away in an area with numerous restaurants and shops. I would definitely visit again, this time though I'd make sure I was early enough to do the tour.“

“I have eaten at Ramsey’s many times, most of my orders are to go during the winter months and spring and summer I eat inside. Sometimes there is a wait time for seating but it is worth waiting for. The food was great! The staff was great and the prices were acceptable. I didn’t wait too long for my food and it was delicious! It was enough to fill me up and then I had enough to take home. I tell people at work if you want great food, go to Ramsey’s! I recommend this restaurant! Thank you B.“

“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.“

“I first tasted Wise Bird Cider at the GOSHEN TAPROOM, right on the edge of Metro Louisville. It’s on tap and in cans! The Pomme Pomme Cider is SO DELICIOUS! The others are great too, but the PP is my favorite. If you can’t make it to Lexington (an amazing place to visit), make the shorter trip to Goshen.“
