“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!“

“This is such a great spot! Small hidden gem for sure - I love potatoes so drove from Frankfort to try it out. We were NOT disappointed - cooked thoroughly, spices on point, cooked to order with a minimal wait time. Absolutely recommend and will be back!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic time/meal. We ordered the filet mignon, which is the best compared to any steakhouse I've ever been.
The Thai salad they have is superb to add.
Our server Carly was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very helpful. We were also greeted by the manager Alan, who was kind enough to come and say hello. Love seeing a restaurant ambiance with its staff so intertwined for the dining experience. Per our anniversary, we received a complimentary carrot cake which is nothing short of fantastic, super balanced and not overly sweet.
Thank you for the experience, we'll be back.“

“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!“

“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!“

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