   This is the best restaurant we've been to in Lexington thus far, excelling in all areas (food, service, and atmosphere). We appreciated their attention to detail in the dishes and drinks, their communication and attentiveness in service, and the calm, cozy environment that was neither loud nor rushed.

   The food was incredible and the service was outstanding! Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and took really great care of us. For starters, we ordered the Panko Fried Avocado and it was delicious. Bread service is always a must-have and did not disappoint. My entree was the Bone-In Pork Chop and it was cooked to perfection. I also ordered the cheesecake they had on special to have at home later and it was absolutely divine. I also have to say that I was a little nervous about whether or not we’d stay comfortable in the heated gazebo but it’s so nice and cozy. Absolute 20/10 on the whole experience, I already can’t wait to go back!

   Highly recommend Coles. The only thing better than the incredible food was the staff- professional and personable. Bartenders were fabulous too! Looking forward to returning when back in Lex.

   There were four of us that met for dinner, one couple hadn’t had the best of experiences previously, the other had 3 exceptional dinners in the past …so we were a polarized testing group. Our server was fantastic despite having said she was “off her game”…. Patiently guiding everyone in the best direction, cocktails, appetizers, entrees, dessert (I don’t know how we had room!) were all fabulous. We always enjoy the ambiance at Coles, though some may find the noise level a bit competitive for a quiet meal. The evening was wonderful, but always made even better when sharing it with the right people. We all came away giving full marks to the service and food at Cole’s

   This was my first time eating at Coles and unfortunately will be my last. This was our anniversary dinner. What was great: Waiter Atmosphere Drinks and appetizers - Brie & Spanakopita What was disappointing: Main course (Duck and Cobia) - Duck was so so. Of course I'm used to the way it's prepared in Asia so maybe not a fair comparison. - Cobia - was good, the jasmine rice was crunchy and over cooked. Not as flavorful as expected. Fish was prepared well. Sides: leek au gratin - was dry and not as flavorful as hoped. Overall, food was overpriced for what we experienced.

   The food and atmosphere were disappointing. The restaurant feels a bit dated and in need of a refresh. Interesting menu - the pumpkin soup was not good.

   Good evening Kelly! Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit with us. I'm so sorry that your visit fell so short of the expectation and standard that we hold ourselves to. We like to update our menu seasonally with fresh and local ingredients but without your input, we cannot improve our current dishes, so thank you for sharing! I'll be certain to pass along your feedback along to the team. I hope you're willing to give us a second try in the future and we look forward to it! Rita Kraynak, General Manager
