You'll feel as if you're dining in another era at this stately, 19th-century mansion home, which is surrounded by centuries-old trees. Inside, chandeliers and antiques confirm the air of gentility, and the menu boasts an always-impressive line-up, from grilled rack of lamb to pan-seared duck breast, phyllo-wrapped sea bass, veal piccata, and prime NY strip. Finish up with chocolate bread pudding dressed with Maker's Mark anglaise, and you'll understand why the restaurant enjoys a four-star rating. Private events welcomed.   (© 10Best)

Fine Continental cuisine awaits at this antebellum mansion. Lexington’s only four-diamond restaurant features excellent service. (from Southern Living)

Overall a nice dinner
The food here is really good. Best Tuna Tar Tar I think I have EVER had. The atmosphere is a bit odd. No music and paper thin walls - you feel like you have to whisper at dinner. But the service was great and the food was wonderful. Overall a great evening.

2 members of our party became immediately ill after eating the same menu item during the holiday. I was sick for 2 days. The chef would not return my calls or emails to discuss this. I thought that a conscientious chef would want to know what menu item was tainted. I had previous good experiences there but will not be returning.

Fantastic dining experience. I have yet to see food like this in Kentucky. Very contemporary and food looks like it came straight out of a magazine. VERY expensive, so most likely a special occasion. Try the venison. It is out of this world! Also really good was the gnochi.
