This place did not disappoint from our first bite of the amazing yeast roll to the last bite of our entrees (I had the halibut and hubby had the shrimp gnocchi.). The Thai calamari was also out of this world. We will be looking for a reason to come back to Lexington just so we can eat here again. Oh, and the bourbon collection was amazing too!

This is one of my fave brunch spots! Food and service is always A1! I did have to remind my waiter to bring my drink a couple times but no biggie. Also, I asked for no avocado and has to take it off myself. Good was still amazing and the server was still amazing also! Dec recommend.
