Oh. My. Goodness. Where to begin?
Me and a gal pal came here on Valentine’s Day to catch up. We were absolutely blessed to have Mia as our server. She was an absolute hoot. Gave the best recommendations and pointed us in the right direction with the Cult of Personality drink and the Chicken Teriyaki tacos. Absolutely delicious. Checked in on us several times throughout the night before dropping a major piece of knowledge on us: she was not a bartender, nor did she have a lot of experience in it; she was helping with short staffing and stepped in as a bartender. On Valentine’s Day. At 7 PM. Did not add a single minute to our wait, and our drinks were INSANELY delicious.
I am uncertain who y’all have behind the grill, but double their pay. Those tacos were out of this world. Obsessed with what the addition of pineapple did for this meal. Everything paired together so well.
Lived in Lexington for almost a year and have no idea how I’ve never ventured over here before. Literally no notes for improvement; such a great establishment. Will definitely be back!!! (Photo taken by my friend after I had literally inhaled my tacos in record time… the lack of evidence speaks for itself!)

So the food and the experience was not good. The overpriced quesadilla came out burnt, chopped up, and just a nasty mess. $17 for something that is just seasonless.
Then the Philly with fries comes out. The sandwich was terrible, all you could taste was wine and garlic, I mean it was one of the worse Philly steaks I have ever had.
The server came out and offers aoili to someone that was with me, I asked if it was available to all of us, he said yes. Little did I knoe, I’d be paying nearly $8 for a very small amount of sauce in 7 or 8 cups. We asked for straws, never got em, didnt have anything for “to go” (yet a door dasher picked up food while we were there it looked like).
So rather than leave $5 for my tip, I left $1 but I had another one that was with me also leave $7. So, for $90 worth of food, the server that did not do right and overcharged us still received an $8 tip. We leave and they yell out the door at one that was with me and called him a curseword (they better be glad I was already at the vehicle), just so happened, the one they cussed at was the one that left $7 for terrible service at a rough hole-in-the-wall with terrible food.
You’ve been warned.
Update:
The fact that they have the audacity to lie in a smart alec review after serving nasty food (and, by the way, never getting more than my initial soda pop. A teenager got a refill and another guest got a refill, that was it. Also, the picture of their nasty quesadilla was NOT touched by us when the picture was first taken. It is our custom to take pictures of food at places we visit for the first time and we have been doing that since 2016).
The other guest did NOT eat their Philly because it was disgusting (his words). He tried to eat the meat. I guess we should’ve took a picture of the table before leaving because, wow, what a deceptive response! And yes, they did offer a to go box to 2 of us before leaving and we said no. We weren’t rude and did not complain about the service. The very rude cursing they did to the other guest, using the “b” word and mocking the flag on his shirt in front of the 17 year old and 11 year old was the only initial reason why I had come to leave the review and shine a light on things.
Now, after the rude and deceptive reply, I will explain things in further detail.
The place was also not clean. When was the last time the pillows were cleaned? When you literally have 2 people drinking at a bar and no other customers, how hard is it to follow thru on 1 table? And who throws cloves of garlic on a Philly and doesn’t chop it fine? And that Philly is just nasty. Arby’s Philly is far superior and that’s a fast food joint and (I dont care much about theirs).
After looking at some other reviews and some social media, it looks like this isn’t an isolated incident either. Maybe they will step up so that way there aren’t other issues with others and they’ll make is look like liars. Whatever it takes, I suppose.
If they would’ve just apologized and made things right for how they treated him, I would’ve deleted the review and hoped that no one else would be treated like that. With them lying and justifying, they are definitely not looking to do right by customers. So the warning is there for whoever is reading and deciding whether to eat there or not.

One of the best kept secrets in Lexington! You’ve never tasted a chicken wing quite like this one. Best drink in town. Also CBD infused cocktails are an added touch. Menu is wonderful, everything is so thoughtfully curated. Do yourself a favor & visit Trish!

The menu looked terrific, the servers were so nice, and we were excited to order. Unfortunately, the chef is so precious here that they will not even serve their hamburger unless it is served exactly as listed in the menu. I asked for mine without ketchup and mustard and was told no.
We left.

Amazing!!! That is the only way I can describe it. Low noise was great for hearing impaired.
The food, I don’t know where to begin. The chicken wings were delicious. I could eat an entire plate myself. I got the tacos and they were amazing. The blueberry compote was just amazing
The steak salad looked amazing and I was told it was. The breakfast was delicious and my son ate it all.
This is a repeat.

I couldn’t recommend this place enough! The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was absolutely perfect, and the staff were truly amazing. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to come back!

If you haven’t tried this place you absolutely should!! Everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. The pork and chicken tacos are insanely delicious. The drinks are fun, and the atmosphere is intimate. The service was excellent and the cook (by herself) brought everything to our table and took the time to talk to us about the food. Zero complaints.

Will definitely be back. I would give every aspects a 5/5 stars but the brussel sprouts- although amazing, were a little undercooked (just being honest). I ordered two drinks, first one was great (Watermellon Jalapeño Mijito) and the second one was a Love Light, in my opinion it was a little too sour and alcoholly. I ordered a Big Freeda’s Mule to replace it which was amazing but my Love Light was still on my bill. I can see both sides of that story but I think it would’ve been nice to have that removed off of my bill considering I had ordered an entire meal and appetizer (noli burger & brussel sprouts salad- both items delicious). ♀️ IDK, that’s why only 4/5 stars in service. But I would still highly recommend this place! So good!

AMAZING! First and foremost, thank you Mark for the fantastic service, amazing drinks and fantastic recommendations.
The drinks were superb. The food was out of this world! I had the tacos, the wings and a small side salad that they made just for me.
Everything was out of this world! Great atmosphere, and an overall amazing experience.

An ok vegetarian selection. They were nice enough to accommodate a large group of us and split checks. Service was a bit slow and they did mess up a couple of the checks. The beer was on the warm side. Not extremely impressed but not totally turned off either.
