“We enjoyed a fantastic New Year's Eve meal at Heirloom in Midway, KY. The service was superb, atmosphere warm, and the food exceptional, on par with meals we have had in Paris and Rome. The four course meal was perfection. The lobster cappelletti was devine and the Chateaubriand Au Poivre was cooked perfectly and was tender and flavorful. The Dubai Sundae was the prefect ending to such a wonderful meal ! We commend the chef and staff for such a wonderful experience . We will definitely eat here again and highly recommend.“

“I had never been to this place before but we went for Thanksgiving today and it was FANTASTIC! We had a reservation for the 12:30 seating, and were seated and in line for the buffet by 12:45. The front staff seemed pretty stressed but they did a great job. I’m looking forward to going back to try their regular menu.“

The filet was very flavorful and the macaroni & cheese was great! We ate carrot cake for dessert! It was absolutely delicious! Our Sangria cocktails were also wonderful! We will definitely be back!“

“The best damn Stromboli I’ve ever had. There’s no words on how happy I was to go twice and have the same flavor. The waitresses are always so kind. Never leaving a drink empty and so easy to talk to. Coming to Galvins is always a treat when we visit home.“

“Liam's Restaurant has a little bit of everything. Make a request, they aim to please ,“

“A favorite place to eat with lots of gluten free options. They have great “allergy” protocols in place (coming from someone who is a sensitive Celiac) Their steaks and whipped potatoes are my favorites!“

“Love this place! One of our favorites in Lexington!“

“We had a lovely experience here. Don’t show up early to your reservation expecting to get in a little early though. Lol

Food was very good. It is pretty pricey but you’re paying to go to a castle and eat fresh local foods.“

“Morgan and Ms. Lisa always take such good care of us when we visit! This is our favorite Saturday morning breakfast spot!“

“I ordered my Thanksgiving lunch this past Sunday. It was delicious. Recommend anybody doing that we are still eating on it. My second year !!!!!!“

“Probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had. My food could not have been taken care of worse. I ordered a 16 oz. sirloin cooked medium, and was brought a well done steak. Not really a big deal, it happens. They returned the steak and a manager brought me out another one. I cut through it and it looked better and told the manager it was alright. The more I cut through it, the more I was able to tell that it was just as well done as the first steak. I let my waitress know (who was very kind and very helpful and genuinely felt sorry) and had her return it and not worry about bringing me another one. The manager returned to tell me that “since the first steak was returned half eaten, I can discount your bill”. The steak was not half eaten. I returned both steaks almost completely untouched and maybe tried 1-2 bites of each to see if it was okay to eat, so I wasn’t really sure where she got that I had eaten half of the first steak. Again, the waitress we had, who I think was a blonde lady named Bobbie (I could be wrong with that name) was very kind and felt sorry, but the manager I dealt with felt like she was very irritated to have to deal with me having 2 wrongly cooked steaks. She took off the price of the steaks off my bill, but still made me pay for my soda. No apology and nothing to make up for me sitting in there for over an hour and not getting any dinner. I guess the manager just wasn’t having it. Again, thank you to the waitress we had, she was very kind. But I feel like I should’ve at least had my soda taken care of for them screwing up my dinner and ultimately not getting anything at all. Very disappointed“

“Creative menu, delicious, FRESH food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s a favorite stop of mine when I’m visiting Lexington from California.“

“The most personable, ecclectic, welcoming crowd! Join the kaleidoscope and enjoy friendly bartenders, great bar food, meeting great people and genuinely just having fun!“

“Roger is the best server. we thank you“

“My husband and I came in tonight for an early Mothers Day celebration. they were PACKED but still provide amazing service! We got seated quickly, our server was amazing, our drinks and apps came out within a few minutes, my margarita was delicious and not skimping liquor, and our food was amazing! The manager came by and we praised our experience. 10/10 would recommend.“

“If you’re looking for a dive bar that feels like home away from home (or looking for your new favorite local spot) this is your place!Everyone working was extremely nice and even welcomed me by name when I came back for dinner a couple nights later. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Definitely go for fries as your side, they’re amazing! Will definitely be back next time I’m in town!“

“I cannot say enough about the kindness of the staff here. My father had a medical emergency while waiting on dinner and the staff dialed 911 for me within seconds and offered to box up our food because we couldn’t stay to eat it. They also closed the restaurant while the EMT’s were working on Dad. I cannot say enough about the kindness of the employees/ staff. I have eaten there on other occasions too and the food has always been excellent.“

“My daughter chose to go here for her graduation dinner. Apparently so did the rest of Georgetown graduates because it was packed. Despite the sudden rush of customers, we were served promptly and accurately. Everything was good and hot, as expected.“

“The food was absolutely amazing!!! Which actually made up a lot for the frigid dining room and neglectful waiter. My friend and I both ordered the 8 oz sirloin steak, with grilled shrimp, for $27ish. I had a loaded baked potato with a caesar salad side. She ordered a loaded baked potato and grilled corn on the cob for her sides. Our waiter was terrible, and distracted with his buddies in the other booth. We had the request our shrimp halfway through the meal, because it was forgotten. Everybody in the entire restaurant was wearing jackets, with their hoods on. Ironically other than the uncomfortable temperature and sub-par service,... The Steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly! The shrimp, when we finally received it, was absolutely delicious! Loaded potatoes were great, and the corn is a absolute must try, surprisingly awesome! Food made the overall experience pretty wonderful, the cooks are impressive! Highly recommended,I hope you get a better waiter, and bring your jacket inside, if it's cold outside. For all my little complaints, I would definitely eat there again!“

“The Bouron glazed steak and Ribeye“

“We stopped at Mancino's today, and were greeted by the owner, who was working to fill in for call ins, as well as other reasons. He was a very pleasant, very polite man. While we were there, we witnessed him carry out a large order for a customer that was not able to carry it himself. This is just one of the many reasons we love, and continue to go to Mancino's. The pizza was excellent as well. 5 stars.“

“I usually make it a rule not to visit the same place twice when I’m in a new city, but Versailles Brewing Company is a clear exception. The beer is top notch, and the food absolutely delivers—the tacos and burgers were especially amazing. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Easily a 5-star spot, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone in the area.“

“Customer Service is above and beyond. Becky took care of a mistake from a previous take out order. She is a superior manager, goes above and beyond to make sure that you are satisfied. People like Becky is the reason for Customer retention, not just a one time visit.“

“Felt bad ordering a good amount of food but it’s Waffle House you kinda have to but anyways was nervous coming in but the two ladies working the 9pm night shift were beyond amazing opened the door for us welcomed us with smiles and gave us our food the lady let me know they were out of chocolate chips but she had a smores option that she recommended and gave me a healthy serving. I normally don’t leave reviews but these ladies were outstanding and should definitely have some raises headed there way plus the food put us in a coma of joy.“
