My sister and I decided to have dinner here last minute and I quickly made a reservation on Open Table. The Lexingtonian salad, bread, sweet tea & water with crushed ice is always a plus before the main dishes. Kendal from California and her assistant were a pleasure, professional, and took excellent care of us. The food was amazing as well. We enjoyed fillets, baked potatoes, and blackened creole shrimp.

We enjoyed a warm and welcoming visit on this snowy night. I decided to have a light dinner of a salad and the white bean soup. A filling and delicious choice, plus I have lunch tomorrow from the leftovers! My husband enjoyed the chicken Parmesan, which you can order as a half or whole plate, great for personal choices! Since we were satiated, dessert had to come home for later! We are never disappointed at one of the best spots in Lexington!

We love OBC kitchen and always try to eat here when we're in Lexington. The food is always fantastic, the service phenomenal, and their selection of bourbon and wines is outstanding. We both had the fried chicken this time, and it did not disappoint! Crispy, tender, with a bit of a bite. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and can't be beat.
