Ambiance away from the bartop was really drab, no light fixtures, no decor, just drab. Valentine's day dinner was fine, food was just a-ok. Service was good and attentive.

Great atmosphere on the rooftop. Food was good and service was friendly. I came here with my co workes after work but I imagine this place would be great for brunch also.

One of my favorite places to go out to eat I love that their menu changes seasonally and their mock tails are so good. The servers are always nice and it’s pretty easy to find a table.

It's a gorgeous restaurant with decent seating. I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries, one of my friends got the same but with Brussel sprouts on the side while the other got Grilled Cheeseburger. Food was absolutely delicious, my favorite were the fries! Well seasoned and crispy.

For drinks, the first drink was awful:( (it was a house cocktail, I forgot the name but it had clarified milk). The hostess was really nice let me reorder. Second time I ordered Upscale Retail, that was also bad but not as bad as the first.

Overall, I recommend the food but not the drinks.

Came here for a work lunch and the food was delicious! The service was so friendly. And the drinks were great! The cafe downstairs hustle looks lovely, will be back!

I placed a to-go order because I was really craving a good burger. I ordered a medium-well burger with fries. When I got back to my hotel and opened the order, I was disappointed to see that the burger was cooked closer to medium than medium-well. I tried a few bites, but it was too pink for my preference, so I couldn’t finish it. The fries, however, were good.

Overall, I would be willing to try this place again—next time, I’d likely dine in to ensure the burger is cooked exactly how I like it.

Great experience at my second time back to The Lexington. The space is beautiful and unpretentious . The service was very good all night long. We had four really solid cocktails (Clean Plate and Guerrilla Public Service were outstanding) and our food was delicious. Don't skip the onion dip with waffle potatoes. Can't wait to return!

Really good food and drink. They have their menu dialed in. The rooftop bar is cool and they even give you sunglasses to wear if you need them.

This was a fun vibe as its a rooftop restaurant. Service was great. We were excited to try something new but were pretty disappointed with the drinks and food. We did LOVE both appetizers (calamari and potato waffles) but both entrees were underwhelming to bad. Cocktails were also weird.

We love the Lexington, especially in the summer! The bartender is phenomenal and the food is always excellent. The fish tacos are terrific!

A really great place. Relaxed environment with a fabulous second floor summertime dining deck overlooking the park. Unlike so many other outdoor dining places, this is quiet, pretty and overlooking green - you’re not next to a construction site nor along a busy road separated by concrete barriers! Inside it’s also easily possible to have a conversation without shouting! How unusual!
The menu is small but good and the food and drinks are always great, the service is always friendly and good. It’s nice without being too fussy and good without being overly expensive. Perfect!
And it’s not even necessary to make reservations far in advance. Fantastic.

This place has a really nice open patio area upstairs which is a great place to meet people for drinks after work. However, i’ve sampled at least 50% of the menu and the food is consistently mediocre. At best, uninspired, and at worst, not even fresh (don’t get the mussels!). Service is hit and miss; some servers are friendly and others seem really unhappy to be there. Service is particularly slow on weekdays. I’ll keep coming just for the patio and drinks.
