New American Restaurants near Nicholasville, KY

“service awesome, food outstanding and I liked the manager went to every table to check and chat with each customer.“

“Incredible service with fantastic food and drinks!“

“If you like potatoes this is the spot. The portion is massive taking up and entire styrofoam to go container and loaded to the top with toppings. I got the chicken bacon ranch potatoe and it was not lacking in the flavor department at all! Chicken was tender juicy and seasoned to perfection the bacon was large strips cut into sections that was perfectly cooked the cheese sauce was in a league of its own. Truly a symphony of flavor. Oh and it comes with a roll if you still weren't full. If you're on the fence hop off it and come try it for yourself.“

“My mom and her fiancé drove in from Gulf Shores, AL to attend my son’s (her grandson’s) college graduation from UK. I was able to book them 2 night at the Clarion for the event. After Saturday’s commencement, we wanted to celebrate. My mom and her fiancé were so impressed with Sedona Taphouse from the previous evening, that they treated us to an early dinner along with some drinks there. It was amazing from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. Our server was a delight, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the GM, Ben as he came over to not only check on us, but to shake my son’s hand and personally congratulate him on his achievement. He really made a big deal about his accomplishment and even went as far to pay for his meal, drinks and dessert. So unexpected! Ben went above & beyond and that food and atmosphere was outstanding. We frequent Lexington often, I’ve found my new spot for lunch or dinner. Thank you Ben!! We can’t thank you enough for making Mason’s special day even more memorable.“

“Tammy McNew was great! Best server ever. Food was good too. 😎“

“The taco flights (The Filthy Fajita, The Smokeshow and The Gangsta) were Amazing as was our appetizer (Shrimp Rangoon Bites)!! Strawberry Bombshell on the rocks was definitely the bomb! Speaking of being the bomb, gotta give it up to our server Tonni and the general manager Nick who were both so nice, helpful and accommodating!! We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!“

“This is the second time I’ve eaten here. And both times were outstanding. This time we had the paella -we couldn’t wait to dive in. That’s why the pictures show that most of it is gone, but you can look at their pictures. It was fantastic!
If you’ve never been make a reservation and go. a lot of the appetizers are tapas style so don’t think it’s all you can eat hog trough. Hint— if you make reservations tell them you want yo have the paella ready about 30 -40 minutes after you arrive to give you time to sample some appetizers. We ordered the small which fed two people but should have ordered the large to have leftovers. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food that I’ve had has been tremendous. Show them some love.“

“2nd time here and I can’t say enough about the pecan crusted pork tenderloins!!! Have to try this dish when I return home. Desserts were huge! Loved the carrot cake!“

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

“What a great neighborhood bar! The regulars and bartenders are friendly, interesting and funny. The karaoke is fantastic. I stopped by while in Lexington for a week of appts at UK MED. It was just what I needed. You'll meet no strangers here. Cheers!“

“Brady made our lunchtime with friends extra special today. We’ve always loved this restaurant for many reasons but having him take care of us was an added bonus we won’t forget. We hope he stays on board so we can see him again when we return which will be soon! Thanks alot Brady 😋🙌“

“On July 5, 2025 we were visiting KY from OH searching for a great place to eat since the hotel kitchen closed at 11:00 p.m. When I tell you this is the perfect spot! Our server was Mathew and on a scale of 1-10 we give him 20 stars! If I had a business I’d definitely want him working there! He went above and beyond his job description! Thank you for finding a charger for me; I really appreciated that! Next time there’s going to be more in our group because we definitely spread the word! We hate we missed the band! Food, pricing and drinks excellent!“

“Ran by the most lovely couple. I walked in and everyone there knew the owners by name and was very comfortable. Been traveling for over a month and this was the most at home I’ve felt this trip.
Food was just also really bomb and high homemade quality.“

“One of our team members says "Bronte Bistro is a great spot for bunch, lunch or dinner. Cozy and Quaint. We love everything we have had there!"“
