Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Midway

This was our first time at Cole’s but definitely not our last. Our waitress Kayla was incredible and the service was beyond exceptional right down to the hostess experience. We got the baked Brie appetizer which was amazing. We also ordered the filet and the chicken mushroom pasta. My boyfriend raved how it was the most accurately cooked medium rare filet he has ever had. The atmosphere was so cute & quaint. We will definitely be back <3

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly even being 20 minutes early for our reservation. From before dinner drinks to dessert at the end, all items were wonderfully fresh and prepared spot on just as we requested. Couldn't get any better. Perfect experience

My wife and I enjoyed Valentine's Day dinner at The Village Anchor and were seated in the covered patio area below. The food was great but a little pricey. French Onion Soup could have been hotter and we found a lack of saltiness to everything but not terrible. The wine was reasonable and they didn't try to upsell. The dessert was huge - really enjoyed that. Friendly staff top to bottom. I had trouble finding reservations for V-Day and this place was busy but not packed at all. The lighting in the covered porch area did not at all reflect a fine dining experience, though - which killed a bit of the ambiance despite the cute Valentine's decor. Overall a good experience and we'll return if I have an extra $200 but for that kind of money I know we could do better. I look forward to brunch as their menu promises a variety of great looking option.

Valentine dinner was a great experience. The staff was very kind and attentive to us. The food was delicious and the drinks were also great. She had the fried chicken with skillet potatoes and gritz and I had the NY strip and asparagus. We would recommend and will be returning.

This a real gem of a restaurant for both lunch or dinner. A reservation is helpful but it never hurts to check if you’re in that area. The chicken livers are simply the best in central Kentucky and perhaps the best in the eastern half of the country. The deviled eggs with a touch of bacon jam are a great appetizer. The crab cake sandwich is as good as anything I’ve tried on the Atlantic coast including eastern Maryland. Reasonably priced with a good if somewhat limited wines by the glass selection. Warm and friendly staff provide excellent service.
