All time favorite restaurant in Lexington. Great for date nights, special occasions. High quality food, locally sourced, rotating menu, great cocktails, and affordable price point for the quality you receive.

Love Middle Fork. Favorite place to go for a fun romantic meal. If you get the chance sit at the counter. Love watching them create all the delicious food.

I love their covid adaptations. I felt very safe.

I wanted to love this place but it was just disappointing. The food taste was definitely there but it's so expensive and such small portions :( Service was friendly but not overly helpful or attentive during our visit.

I was here for a work event and we had food on the patio. It was amazing! The whipped feta was phenomenal and I loved the sweet potatoes! Everything was delicious and unique- I am not the most adventurous eater but I was totally comfortable with what we shared. I definitely want to come back and do take out grilled cheese sandwich- the cheeses I had were amazing so I'm sure that will be off the charts!

The food and drink are excellent but we had a poor experience with the manager. We ordered the tasting sampler ($65 for one serving from five dishes) and shared it. That is apparently not permitted which we did not see on the menu nor was explained to us when we ordered. We were halfway through sharing the the third dish when the manager informed us that we could not continue sharing it. We were dumbfounded and so upset that we left without completing our meal but still paying $100 for our dinner and drinks. Even if we were in the wrong for sharing we expect better communication and customer service if there was a miscommunication from such an upscale restaurant.

Incredible food, very friendly service. I lived in Italy for four months and I've never had such good carbonara. Everything I tried was well worth the price despite the small portions (which left me satisfied). Very interesting wine list as well. Absolutely worth a visit

Absolutely delicious food! The place smells like a yummy campfire. I got the rigatoni and chocolate caramel tart.

This place is a fascinating place. I visited here pre-covid and it was packed!We could get a table and wound up eating at the bar that oversees the kitchen. Did we luck out.It was the culinary version of cirque du soleil. The food is great. But the presentation and the preparation really take over the edge... in a good way.Try to get the spot at the kitchen...
Great food. The whipped feta and rabbit are solid app/entrees.

Wow. Food: 5 stars. Such flavorful and thoughtful combinations! We had the hog and oats (sausage and grits), greens, and shiitake mushrooms and it was all incredible. You wouldn’t think anything special, but the flavors are so intense and you can really taste the freshness and beautiful simplicity. Amazing execution. Portions are very adequate and the three dishes were perfect for two hungry travelers. Ethos: 5 stars. All takeout containers and cutlery were compostable and they pay their staff a living wage (ie gratuity included in price). Location: 5 stars. Grab your dinner and eat outside at one of the picnic tables or bring it in to one of the breweries next door if it’s raining. We couldn’t assess the actual restaurant, which is closed for dining in due to COVID-19. Staff: 5 stars. Courteous, great recommendations. TDLR: go here for super delicious, local perfectly executed food in a fun location! Support a company that is doing everything right! (We have no photos of the food - ate it all immediately and without regrets!)

We are new to the town and middle fork kitchen bar was recommended to us. It was such a lovely meal! I asked for a mock tail, something citrusy and refreshing and the bartender delivered something delicious. We had the charcuterie and cheese appetizers and shared the duck confit. The duck had months to be preserved "thanks" to the virus shutdown. It was so tender and flavorful! Melted in your mouth. An all around great dining experience!

Thank you to MFKB for trying so hard in difficult circumstances. Staff were exceptional in keeping to CV BMP’s. Wood fired trout and pasta dishes were fabulous.
