At Coles, we're dedicated to bringing the art of dining to every experience. Think local meats cured in-house. Crisp vegetables fresh off the vine, pickled onsite. Breads baked fresh each day. The best seasonal ingredients available, sourced from local farms and trusted purveyors. And our menus go beyond the plate, with handcrafted cocktails featuring unique, house-made ingredients, hundreds of bourbons available for tasting, and an award-winning carefully curated wine program. We believe in honoring history and chose to set our restaurant in a restored historic landmark in downtown Lexington.

              The appetizers were outstanding. My snapper dish was good, the fish was slightly over cooked, and the broth was too salty, My wife’s dish of the pork chop was outstanding. Overall the experience was well worth the price, excellent service

              From start to finish, not a detail missed or a question left unanswered. Kayla, was our guest experience liaison, and navigated a wonderful dinner for my wife and I. The cookies and Filet are a must, but it was the spanicopotta that took the spotlight. We will return sooner than later. A special thank to the whole team that made the night amazing. The management here has created a wonderful unassuming dining gem. Thank you again.

              The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The leek/potato and brussel sprout sides were wonderful. Would definitely get those again! The filet seasoning and compound butter were extra special, but the cut of meat was a bit tough, sadly. Overall, a good experience.

              Hi Dana, and thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I'm so sorry your filet was not exceptionally tender, as normally that's one of the things we're known for...incredible steaks. Please give us another try, as that is most certainly not our norm. Thanks for letting us know though, I will share your perception with our chefs! Sincerely, Chris Hutchison / Director of Operations
