Craving the ultimate Chicken and Waffle experience? Look no further than Lexington's! Picture this: tender, juicy chicken breasts enveloped in a golden, crispy batter so light it practically melts in your mouth. But it doesn’t stop there—topped with a fiery, tangy coleslaw and nestled on a soft, buttery sweet biscuit, every bite delivers an irresistible burst of zesty, sweet, and spicy euphoria. Trust us—this dish isn’t just a meal, it’s a flavour-packed adventure you’ll never forget!

Exceptional attention to detail from seating, stemware to presentation of food, intimate ambience with very cool vibe. We started our evening deciding with which of their unique cocktails to try, it didn’t disappoint, followed by 3 of the appetizers - all were beautifully presented and delicious, their wine list offers sustainable wines. We will definitely be going back to see Karina and the talented team. Overall experience for this hidden gem on William Street is 10/10.
