It was the last night for Ranada's and we were thrilled to be a part of it! Food was good, staff was so nice and friendly, and Ranada was awesome, coming out to our table and spending time talking with us. Even remembered we had sat at the same table once before! Wishing her only the best with the next chapter!
Great atmosphere, but we were sat by the door and it was getting crowded around us with people waiting on a table. Food was amazing and our waiter was helpful with making final decisions on dinner selection since this was our first visit.

Had always wanted to try this restaurant; very busy at 5 pm on a Friday and not fully staffed yet. Server was friendly but a little overwhelmed. Other servers assisted our server. Our server did not ask about our drinks, quickly took our order because a 12 person table was getting ready to order. They were out of fish so we ended up with fried chicken which was good but mashed potatoes were ice cold. No bread with our meal even though we offered to pay extra. Server was busy and didn't inquire about dessert. $42 for two entrees....went to Graeters for dessert. Not very impressed overall ....we wouldn't recommend
The owner of this restaurant should be ashamed of themselves! The new floor staff tried so hard but couldn't compensate for the disaster coming out of the kitchen. Waited exactly 52 minutes for an entree that didn't arrive, the butt of the Bibb lettuce was included in my $12 salad, out of Feta for the whipped feta board etc.
We celebrated a birthday at Ranada's. From beginning to end, we were made to feel welcome and special. Ranada herself spoke with us more than once; it was a very warm, personal touch. Everyone was highly complimentary of their food and the experience. Highly recommend!

Excellent! Unique food choices and ecclectic, artsy atmosphere. The owner, Ranada, came and spoke to us and made us feel very welcome. I wish I lived in the neighborhood; I would be a regular!

The food is exceptional, reasonably priced. Awesome atmosphere, Second to none service. A great place to go and chill with a relaxing meal. Not feel rushed. But also feel appreciated. I highly recommend you try Ranada's Kitchen. You will be glad you did.

I received a text from Open Table to confirm my reservation (which was for a large group in town for a wedding) but the restaurant was closed when we arrived. After a few minutes, a woman came out stating she had no waiters, no bartenders and 1 cook due to no one showing up. She said if we would be patient, she'd take care of us so we took a chance. We ended up only making it through a round of drinks, most of which we didn't get or she was out of. Unfortunate situation but Open Table really should remove this restaurant from their booking service.

Excellent dining destination. Great cocktails, absolutely amazing food, friendliest staff around. Always with Ranada’s commitment to excellence & personal touch. A wonderful experience each & every time!!
Horrible just horrible, experience was the worst I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Will not be back!!!
I can't really complain about the food the value the ambience or the overall experience because there wasn't any. Arrived at the restaurant early restaurant was closed there was no warning. It is regrettable that this business has descended to this because when it was operational things were good. I fear they are another victim of the pandemic. This business is done. I give an outstanding value overall because it cost me nothing to be humiliated for my wife's birthday dinner.

I went to Ranada's to do some computer work and quickly fell in love with the food, and especially the people! I have tried so many things here now and each one is even better than the last! Ranada's is a hidden gem in Lexington, Kentucky. I don't have adequate words to describe how utterly amazing, delicious, and unique each of the dishes are, but I can tell you that as wonderful as the food is, the people are so much better. Everyone there has been a treat, and Ranada herself is an incredible personality and person. I cannot recommend anyplace more highly than this. In the past few weeks I have been to Jeff Rub's, Azur(now my second favorite restaurant), Dudley's on Short Street, Malone's, Drake's, and a plethora of other great restaurants, and Ranada's is absolutely heads and shoulders above everyone else while maintaining a reasonable price point. I cannot tell you enough, the foods SPECTACULAR and the people are a gift.
We had reservations but there were no tables available so the host put us at the bar. We waited 15 minutes before anyone asked if we wanted a drink. We then waited another 15 minutes to get our drinks. Then we were told that they would not be taking food orders for the next hour.
I'm not one to write reviews, but Ranada's Kitchen was so bad that I feel like I have to. The service was awful. We waited forever for a someone to come to our table after we were seated. At first, we thought there was a miscommunication. No big deal - it happens. However, during our meal, we saw three separate groups get seated, wait, and then leave without having a single server speak with them. We ordered appetizers, one salad, and entrees. We received, in order: salad, 1 app, 2 entrees, 1 app... all within the same 15 minutes. And the food was bad. It was bland and, in some cases, cold from waiting to come out to us. Worst meal we've had in a long, long time. Would give zero stars if we could.
