We ate dinner on a Friday evening and were so pleasantly surprised with how quiet the restaurant was for how busy they were. The cocktails were fantastic- their red sangria was so perfectly balanced, the rolls were absolutely delicious (warm and so soft). For dinner, I ordered the shrimp gnocchi and a house salad: the salad with the honey vinaigrette was perfect and then the gnocchi was so yummy; I would definitely order again. We can't wait to come back for brunch or dinner again!

The food is always fantastic. The halibut is amazing, atmosphere is great and the service is excellent, too. My favorite place in Lexington

Stepping into OBC Kitchen feels like entering a warm, amber-lit sanctuary where craftsmanship, comfort, and character all converge—but even in a place known for its stellar whiskey selection and inviting atmosphere, Baylor elevates the entire experience to something unforgettable, something magical. From the moment he approached our table, Baylor set the tone for the evening with a level of hospitality that was nothing short of extraordinary. His knowledge of whiskey is encyclopedic yet completely approachable; he has that rare gift of translating complex flavor profiles into descriptions that make perfect sense, guiding you toward selections you didn't even realize you were craving. Every recommendation Baylor offered was spot-on, from the nuanced pours he suggested to the perfectly paired bites that brought each glass to life. What truly sets Baylor apart is his attentiveness. He anticipates needs without hovering, checks in at just the right moments, and makes each guest feel like the highlight of his shift. His enthusiasm for the craft is contagious—you can't help but get excited about the next pour when Baylor is the one curating it. OBC Kitchen itself is exceptional: the atmosphere cozy yet refined, the menu thoughtfully crafted, and the whiskey list one of the best I've encountered. But Baylor transforms a great bar into an extraordinary experience. His warmth, expertise, and genuine passion for hospitality left such an impression that I'm already planning my next visit. If you're looking for a whiskey bar where the service shines as brightly as the spirits, OBC Kitchen—with Baylor at the helm of your evening—is an absolute must.

Good food, super slow service unfortunately. It took forever to get drinks which is abnormal.

Our server(s), Nick and Trevor made our 30th anniversary a magical evening. The cocktails are the best in Lexington, but the food was perfect to match. It was our first time but we'll definitely be back! Thank you also to management (Spencer, I believe?) for ensuring that our night was fabulous.

OBC is always a go-to for great food, bourbon, and desserts.
My favorite place. I love the grits and greens. BHG is just showing off at OBC! Such a wonderful establishment! Chris, the manager, was amazing with our large group. Our server was amazing, the food was too, but Chris made the night magical!

Excellent service, and food. We had the seasonal cocktails. Steak and cake was excellent. Shrimp and grits also very good. The salmon with the microgreens excellent. Short rib tacos also very good. Highly recommend.

Seated without delay despite being an hour early for our reservation. Ambiance, food and service were outstanding. Prices very reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber. Highly recommended.
