Best Historic Restaurants in Lexington

Fabulous atmosphere and lovely menu selection. Always a pleasure to gather at 80 Thoreau!

Kerin at front desk was very gracious ! Had dinner in the Rose Bar with Connor the bartender, who was awesome with drinks and recommending gluten free dishes. Had a great meal from start to finish ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A warm welcome at the door. A great table by a warm fire. Our server Sam was informed, helpful, polite, friendly and knew how much time to give us at every stage of the evening. The food, especially the steaks were outstanding.

We sat for nearly 3 hrs talking and enjoying the Tea and beautiful sandwiches & treats !! The ambience was wonderful and the staff (Donna) so pleasant and attentive !!! Quite busy on a Friday afternoon, including a little girls birthday/tea party, which only added to the fun !! We look forward to our next tea party !!

what a fun restaurant. such great vibes. such amazing and unique but thoughtful decor. they put so much effort and time into curating a beautiful space. their glassware and presentation was amazing. food arrives in cute little dumpling containers, and each plate/ platter is sooo fun. the bathrooms were so cute. one of the wallpapers had monkeys drinking vodka and smoking cigs. great wait staff. alicia accidentally left her togo box, and when we went back to retrieve it, they had thrown it away, and they offered to remake it for us which was sooo kind of them. The menu was so fun and made to look sort of like a comic book. they didnt really space out their dishes, which was fine. They all came out hot, which I can appreciate. I think they just bring them out when they’re ready so we got served our drinks and then the cucumber salad and then the four other dishes we ordered, which was kind of overwhelming. LOVED this place tho.
