Best Seasonal Restaurants in Lexington

My husband and I booked dinner at the granddam as a part of a two day trip to Lexington for a long weekend getaway. From the moment we sat down in the beautiful dining room and were met by our outstanding waiter, Todd, we knew we’re in for an experience. As Todd went over the menu with us, he shared that the head chef was hosting a watch party in a few hours for the new season of top chef, in which she is a participant. Okay, here we go, we thought. And boy were we in for a great meal. Our cocktails were inventive and beautiful, our mushroom appetizer, divine, our mains were the real show. I had the elk Wellington and my husband the trout. Outstanding. Chef’s ability to mix flavors and textures to include smokey notes, spicy notes, earthy notes and a little brightness all at the same time really showed off her incredible talent as a chef. Thank you for a great meal and a great night; congratulations to chef for her top chef journey and to Todd for taking such good care of us.

It was our 43th anniversary and the food and the service was amazing.

Fabulous food. Our favorite place to go to! Last night our server was a little bit slow and we had to wait a while to get our order in as well as get our bill. It was not exceptionally busy so I don’t know why it took so long. That’s a fabulous food makes it worth it.

I love Cole’s it’s always such good food, service and atmosphere. People are always so kind and welcoming there. I love that they always have new wine and know about it. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in town.

Amazing food, great service- fantastic experience!
