“Had a couples date night with friends last night Pros: cool atmosphere -good cocktails-festive delish well garnished -pasta pasta pasta -unique ingredients in meals -pretty dinnerware -Candice (perfect service) -creative dessert concepts -lounge area Cons: I think they should stay with their roots even though they believe it’s a misconception they are an Italian restaurant-their pasta is perfection. Wasn’t so much impressed with the pork tenderloin as I was with the pasta.”

“In my quest to try more Mediterranean dishes, my sister brought me to a spot in the food court to try. For too long I've discredited the food at the mall, as the few times I've explored tastes here it'd left me feeling sick. Jojo Gyros was a different experience. The food was fresh, felt cheap for the amount of food I was given in return, and left me feeling better after having eaten it as food ought to, rather than much worse after eating at some of the other spots in the mall. With it's flexible, pick-and-choose style where you select a protein and then comb over what add-ins you'd like, it's an amazing way to start your adventure into Mediterranean cuisine, and familiarize yourself with the different ingredients. The face of the store is friendly as well, great conversationalist as they made our food. It made the wait feel like nothing!”

“First time trying Agave & Rye...wow! Everything we tried was fresh & exploding with flavor! So delicious! Cannot wait to go again!”

“Took my son there today because we had been dying to try this place. He got the "Rushmore" and I got the "Reuben" for myself and one to go for my daughter. Sandwiches were really delicious and reasonably priced. They had a huge crowd and we still got served our food extremely quickly. This place is not only awesome, but local. You are truly missing out if you don't go. We didn't even try the loaded potato soup, which looked delicious as well.”

“I always look for some good Greek/Mediterranean food whenever I travel. I traveled to Lexington this week and found Zaki before I left town. I got a gyro wrap and an order of the stuffed grape leaves. It was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed EVERY bite! I only wish I lived closer, so I could eat there more frequently.”

All of their drinks are school-themed, and they always have a drink of the week that is a must-try! Definitely give this place a try!”

“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.”

“The drinks are great. We love being able to try so many good games before buying them. It’s becoming a regular atop in Lexington. Though I’m spending way too much on MTG😂”

“Cool little spot down on Lane Allen close to Harrodsburg Road, they got hot food, cold drinks, and live music ..And yes, they’re open.”

“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!”
