    Although we were excited to try a new restaurant, we will probably wait a little while to go back. Music was extremely loud, took a very long time to get our drinks, we ordered salads as appetizers and they brought our entrees without having brought our salads…so we ended up with all this food on the table at one time. Our server was very nice. But the wait for wine, and the entrees being brought immediately and salads after that was not great. I would DEFINITELY advise that you put a PHONE NUMBER on your website. I wanted to call prior to coming to ask about something and there is no phone number. Then we were delayed by a wreck on Highway 378 which detained us so we were late getting there but had no way to notify you. I phone number on a website is a must if you want repeat customers such as us.

    Very disappointed in our meal and experience. We generally share a large salad and planned to share an entree, however there is a service charge to share. We don’t ask for them to plate 2 just to bring an extra plate so this seemed crazy. So we ordered 2 entrees, which wasn’t our plan. Drinks were a little light on the pour to start. The entrees were large in size. The steak and shrimp with corn was good, however the venison bolognese was bland, lacked flavor and didn’t have any flavor of venison with the pasta reheated/rinsed and didn’t adhere to any of the sauce. The server didn’t seem to care it wasn’t touched. Overall not a good experience although space was nice.

    Very good experience. We got the steak/potato app, very very yummy. I got the Blackened salmon with crab cake and crawfish. Brussels as side. Very good. Hubs got salmon salad. He loved. Expresso martini for dessert. Delish. Only complaint, it was only 75% full. For $15 I’d like a full martini please. Server was Brandon, 110% Great!

    Our meal at Cork and Cleaver today was nothing short of marvelous. We truly had a spectacular visit! They do brunch on Saturdays and Sundays and still offer a full menu in addition to their brunch items. I thoroughly enjoyed the 48 oz Tomahawk. It was prepared medium rare as requested and every bite was incredibly flavorful. My wife ordered the chicken and waffles and enjoyed how juicy the chicken was. The hot honey really tied the dish together. Christina was our bartender and was splendid as well. She ensured we had everything we needed during our visit. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for a great steakhouse in Lexington.

    Absolutely fantastic experience and meal! Our host Tennyson welcomed us like we were arriving at his home for an evening dinner party. Our server Kevan was truly there to make our evening a delight. He was the perfect blend of helpful and always available for like when we found ourselves suddenly needing another tray of burnt end deviled eggs to every aspect of our meal. I highly recommend letting them know if you are celebrating an occasion, they will make it special. With a party of 6, you’d expect at least one complaint or room for improvement and the only thing we could come up with is that they accidentally sent an extra side of broccoli rabe which they made sure we weren’t charged for. The price aligned with the experience and food. If you’re expecting a steak from a bar, go to any chain bar and grill in town. This is an experience like larger cities have yet right here in Lexington! I’ll be returning again this weekend with another group and looking forward to further exploring the outstanding menu!
