We ordered the focaccia with oxtail marmalade, crab claws, crispy potatoes, lemon spaghetti, and dry aged steak, goat cheese cheesecake and spicy flan. Everything was cooked, seasoned and presented beautifully. I can't wait to try more.

Felt like I walked into a metro city, buzzing eatery from the minute we walked in. Outstanding all around! Every course was beautiful, tasty and interesting. The owner Dallas made us and everyone around us feel welcome and at home. Can't wait to return on my next visit to Lexington!
