Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Lakeside Park, KY

I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.

Always great food and service. We were seated near the garage door so it was cold and breezy (30 degrees outside). But, still overall a great experience.

Our Server Brian who worked at Boca previously was amazing! Probably the best server in town. Outstanding. The Beet Salad was fantastic. The Burger was wonderful as well. It was one of the best burgers in town. Thank you so much for a great evening. And a shout out to the chef that accommodated us, since we are keto. Thank you. And Brian, he is top notch. Thank you, Brian. The Gigi drink is great as well. Happy Holidays. Oh, and Maya is an essential employee. She is a doll. Great Restaurant! Great Experience I will tell everyone!

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous pre-Christmas date night at The Aperature. I have been wanting to dine here since they opened but hadn’t yet been able to make it in. Our food was fabulous and our server, Sam, was perfectly friendly and attentive. In fact the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed sharing the small plates. We had the garlic & eggplant hummus, the sweet potato with feta, the kale pesto spaghetti, and the ribeye. Literally every single bite was delicious. We split the toffee pudding for dessert. We felt the food quality was as good or better than another local small plates restaurant we visited this time last year and The Aperature bill was HALF of what it was at the other place.

The dinner was delicious! Starting with the delicate sashimi which was very fresh and had a buttery texture. Next the five whole different colored carrots were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented and the gizzards were tender and tasty with the chimichurri sauce. The lamb neck was huge (easily enough for 2 people) and perfectly cooked with a crispy crust and tender flavorful meat underneath. The duck breast was also perfectly cooked a nice medium rare with a tasty sauce sauce. Our server Cole was friendly, attentive and enthusiastic. Altogether a great experience!
