There’s a quiet country road hiding near one of Lexington’s busiest intersections.

Renowned for its fresh fish and seafood, hand-cut steaks, traditional and contemporary pasta dishes, homemade desserts and extensive wine list, Giuseppe’s captures its guests with the ambiance of candlelight, easy sounds of slow jazz and a taste of passion which flows from your fork, making every dish its own invitation to return. Whether you prefer a table in the main dining room, the lounge, or the patio, Giuseppe’s is the perfect romantic spot for dates and anniversaries, and it’s also a favorite for large gatherings of family and friends.

    I had fish of the day it was halibut with a white lemon sauce on bed of spaghetti, it was cook just right and very delicious. Our server did a great job for our table of three. we had red wine, calamari, salads and soups, and sirloin tips and mushrooms, and lobster ravioli, and desserts of red velvet cake and tiramisu. This was a special birthday celebration that went very well.

    Merrick Inn has always been our "special" place to go for important occasions. It is old Kentucky charm, great food and service. A little pricey but there is no reason for them to lighten those prices, the place is busy and full. We are not alone in our love for the best place to eat in Lexington. LOTS of staff, and food is served quickly.
