First time here for a ticketed event. Staff & Service was top notch. Facility was beautiful and interesting with a nice flow. Delicious passed apps. The ticket was a little pricey considering it was still a cash bar, but the cocktails were good...

. Decor and Production level for the party aspects were impressive.

Christmas Tea was festive, beautiful, and delicious! Absolutely a top choice for the holidays! Highly recommend!

What a wonderful experience. The food was exceptional. The bar tenders were great. The atmosphere was out of this world. I could t ask for a better place to give my daughter away. Outside area is beautiful.

This venue is a must do for any event. Very professional and accommodating. Our wedding was over the top. We are very grateful to the wedding planner and all the staff.

Easily the best restaurant in Lexington. The combination of cuisine, service, and venue surpasses all expectation. While the experience is elevated, it’s cultivated in a way that makes any guest feel right at home. Would recommend to anyone who...
