Restaurants near White Hall State Historic Site

Great food. Unbelievable bourbon selection. Very knowledgeable server. Was packed on a Monday night.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a while! We started with a lemon basil salad, and to drink we had a White Peach Sangria and an Apple Cider Spritz. For dinner my husband had the Mediterranean Chicken, with a side of the soup of the day (Southwest Beef & Veggie) and heirloom carrots. Tasty and huge portions. I had the special, which was a halibut served over mashed potatoes and delicious crab bisque—it was out of this world!! The special also came with two sides, I chose the whipped sweet potatoes and the corn pudding, both yummy. Cozy, romantic atmosphere, and phenomenal service!

Our party of 4 dined in a large booth adjacent to the bar. I expected it to be noisy but was pleasantly impressed with our ability to carry on a conversation. Our table service was top notch for this type of restaurant although the drinks were increasingly slow from the bar as the evening drew on. Our server was attentive but not pushy as we lingered over dinner. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and practically scraped the plate, it was so good. Three of us ordered the steak frites which was perfect! Small enough not to overwhelm our stomachs but flavorful and filling. The fourth person ordered the hot bacon salad which was a good portion for dinner and fresh and flavorful. We did not order dessert because we were well satisfied. Overall I started off skeptical and was impressed enough that we will return.

I 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.

Our server met us immediately and took our order for drinks; very fast service. The food came in an appropriate time and was delicious. The flatbread pizza was outstanding and the club sandwich was six inches high. We re very happy with our experience!
