Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lexington

8 of us met at Row 34 as a half way point between us all. Good choice, excellent service, different takes on traditional seafood recipes. The fried oyster slider were amazing, I could a bunch of those. I had the tuna tartar, that was nicely spiced, along with the turnips. More resto’s should serve the mighty turnip! These were delicious. If I had to go to Burlington again, I would go to Row 34.

I would like to thank the staff at Smith & Wollensky Burlington for an amazing dining experience tonight. My wife and I had never been to their establishment before and decided to dine there for our Valentines night dinner. We have enjoyed many high end steakhouses over the years but we were treated to such an enjoyable meal that it rates among the very top of them all. We started with the warm rolls with butter. The finishing salt on them was perfect. Next was the burrata appetizer with prosciutto. Fantastic, though we do think there should be more than four crostinis to be able to enjoy it all. This was our only suggestion for the entire meal. Next we enjoyed their Caesar salad. We loved the parmesan cheese crunchies. The salad wasnt over dressed but just right. I ordered a bone in rib eye that was wet aged, peppercorn crusted, with a brandy peppercorn sauce. It was tender, flavorful, cooked perfectly and had a wonderful crust. My wife ordered a filet of beef with lump crab meat and a hollandaise sauce and it came with asparagus. Again the cook was perfect and fork tender. The crab was moist and tender. She ordered a glass of super tuscan red which she loved. We shared one side, the truffled baked mac and cheese. Now we both love baked mac and theirs did not disappoint. Theirs was extremely creamy and rich where most places are drier and lack flavor. Not here. A fantastic side to go with my steak. We also shared a skillet brownie/cookie with ice cream. The skillet gave the dish a nice crusty crunchy bottom that was great. The food was expertly served and the attention that our server Aaron gave us made us feel like we were the only ones there. Everyone who came to our table greeted us with smiles and a welcoming attitude asking if there was anything they could do. They shared stories about the food and their personal favorites. It really made the evening. The manager checked in several times with us to ensure everything was to our satisfaction.

Surprisingly very impressed!!! Food was awesome and very reasonably priced!! Our server, Susan was very nice and well versed on the menu!!! I had the filet mignon with 2 baked stuff shrimp! Yummy. My husband had the prime rib which he said was delicious and cooked to perfection! The meal came with a salad and we both had the garlic mashed potatoes. The restaurant needs a bit more warming up to make it feel a bit more cozy, maybe better lighting and less televisions at the bar which cheapens the ambience.

Very good date night dinner for my fiance and I. Went on dollar oyster night and sat in the lounge. Had 2 cocktails, the spicy marg and their take on a old fashioned neither of which I cared for that much but I tried them. We also had the calamari (very good) and the burger. A little undercooked when we ordered medium rare but I like rare anyhow and my girl let me finish it. Over all a very good night though.

I took my 83 yr old mom and she loved it! Each tea cup is different, each plate is different as are the tablecloths and chairs. Very fun. Lots of tea choices and the finger sandwiches are good and then there are sweets on the top two layers of the tray. It is a bit loud, but overall fun. The server/owner was lovely.
