- VVikkivipCincinnati / Dayton •25 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was our first visit to this location and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! It started with the warm and friendly greeting when we walked in the door. The server was friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely delicious. It's such a lovely place - cozy and inviting without feeling pretentious. I can't believe we've been missing out. We'll definitely return soon!More infoBella Cafe & Grille in Chevy ChasePrice: Moderate• American• Lexington•4.8

- LLisaNew York City •32 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoI eat here anytime I go to Lexington or Louisville. The Bluegrass special chicken is one of my all-time favorite dishes I’ve ever eaten. It’s usually absolutely delicious. While it was good tonight, the sauce, or glacé, was not right. Normally it has a little bit of sweetness to it from the bourbon. Tonight there was no sweetness, and the depth of the sauce was just not there. I did tell my server, but he did not seem particularly concerned about it. The food was still delicious it just wasn’t what I am used to. I’ve probably had this dish 10 or 12 times, and this is the very first time that it wasn’t the same. It’s no big deal but I thought I would add this so that management would know. I will definitely be back. In fact I’m going back before I leave Lexington this week. Hoping the glacé will be up to expectations then.More infoMalone’s - LansdownePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Lexington•4.7
- BBrettEdmonton / Northern Alberta •8 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAbsolutely fantastic meal and drinks! My only complaint was that we were seated at a table next to the open air window, and the loud motorcycles periodically made conversation a bit difficult. Otherwise, a great experience, wonderful service, and a delicious meal. Highly recommended!More infoCarson's on MainPrice: Moderate• American• Lexington•4.8
