My wife and I stayed at “The Manchester” for our Honeymoon. If you want elegance and exclusive service, stay here and dine at the “Granddam”. What a beautiful piece of Lexington. Definitely coming back and bringing friends!!
The Manchester Hotel's restaurant, the Granddam, is a must-visit Lexington gem! The atmosphere and ambiance are everything. As soon as you walk in the doors, you are greeted with the kindest staff and the most beautiful lobby and hotel bar. The restaurant itself is classy and has the most unique menu. They change their menu very frequently, so there is almost always something new to try. I believe this is the best food in Lex! It is definitely worth a visit!

Granddam is a sophisticated restaurant located in the Manchester Hotel, offering a charming atmosphere and top-notch service. The food is outstanding, with dishes like the mushroom appetizer and rib eye stealing the show. The extensive selection of bourbon and wine, along with attentive servers, ensure a memorable dining experience. The menu is excellent and everything is so tasty. The pimento cheese and labna appetizer is very large. The chili sorghum salad is delicious but has some heat, and the tri tip sandwich is very tender and delicious. It is a great place for elevated food and drinks, including the coconut lime drink which is out of this world tasty. The service is incredible and the staff goes above and beyond. Breakfast is outstanding and the wait staff is very attentive. The dining area is very nice.
Recent visits have confirmed Granddam's reputation for exceptional food and service. Guests have enjoyed dishes like Venison Wellington, which received high praise for being one of the best meals experienced, comparable to international standards. The quality of food, speed, and pleasantness of service impressed visitors, making it one of the best overall dining experiences in Lexington. The decor and cleanliness of the dining room contribute to the welcoming atmosphere, and the delicious coffee adds to the enjoyment.
Additionally, Granddam is a great spot for celebrations, as shown when a guest celebrated a neighbor's 72nd birthday. The staff, especially Franchesxa, provided excellent service, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic, making guests feel special, whether enjoying brunch or dinner, and sharing fun conversations about topics like polo and scotch options.
