Best restaurants near me in Lexington, KY

Went here for a new year day dinner. The food was presented well but the flavors were just off for our tastes. I ordered chicken and it seemed to be undercooked, my opinion. The service was excellent and the offerings were varied. Ate here in the past for brunch and was super pleased and will continue to come here for weekend brunch.........try it. Overall worth a try.

First time dining at this location and will definitely go back in the future. Food and service was outstanding. Great ambiance for a date.

One of the best steaks I’ve ever had! The Lexingtonian salad was amazing, too! Best brussel sprouts ever! Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Lexington.

This gem has become our go-to spot for consistently outstanding dining experiences. The menu strikes that perfect balance of quality and value – you get generous portions of expertly prepared dishes without the eye-watering prices you might find at similar establishments. The atmosphere hits all the right notes – vibrant enough to feel energetic, but you can still carry on a conversation comfortably. The dining room has a warm, welcoming buzz, especially during peak hours, with a mix of families, couples, and groups of friends creating that perfect restaurant hum. What really sets this place apart is the staff. From the host to the servers, everyone seems genuinely happy to be there and goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Even during busy rushes, the service remains attentive and personable. We've been regular customers for a while now, and the consistency keeps us coming back. Whether it's a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion, they never disappoint. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that maintains such high standards across the board – food quality, service, atmosphere, and value. This place has rightfully earned its spot as our favorite local restaurant.

Our meal was delicious, cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. Our server Shelby and her assistant Katie took excellent care of us and made us feel welcomed. The highlight of the evening was having the manager D.J. check on us throughout our appetizers and entrees. We are looking forward to another dinner at Jeff Ruby's soon! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
