At Coles, we're dedicated to bringing the art of dining to every experience. Think local meats cured in-house. Crisp vegetables fresh off the vine, pickled onsite. Breads baked fresh each day. The best seasonal ingredients available, sourced from local farms and trusted purveyors. And our menus go beyond the plate, with handcrafted cocktails featuring unique, house-made ingredients, hundreds of bourbons available for tasting, and an award-winning carefully curated wine program. We believe in honoring history and chose to set our restaurant in a restored historic landmark in downtown Lexington.

              Not what we expected driving into the parking lot or necessarily walking in the front door, but boy oh boy did the food and service MORE than deliver! Fantastic food with every course and our server was wonderful and thoughtfully attentive. The specials were slightly overpriced, but again zero issues with the quality and presentation. Do yourself a favor and grab a bite of your anywhere nearby, you won’t regret it!

              This is the best restaurant we've been to in Lexington thus far, excelling in all areas (food, service, and atmosphere). We appreciated their attention to detail in the dishes and drinks, their communication and attentiveness in service, and the calm, cozy environment that was neither loud nor rushed.

              The food was incredible and the service was outstanding! Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and took really great care of us. For starters, we ordered the Panko Fried Avocado and it was delicious. Bread service is always a must-have and did not disappoint. My entree was the Bone-In Pork Chop and it was cooked to perfection. I also ordered the cheesecake they had on special to have at home later and it was absolutely divine. I also have to say that I was a little nervous about whether or not we’d stay comfortable in the heated gazebo but it’s so nice and cozy. Absolute 20/10 on the whole experience, I already can’t wait to go back!

              There were four of us that met for dinner, one couple hadn’t had the best of experiences previously, the other had 3 exceptional dinners in the past …so we were a polarized testing group. Our server was fantastic despite having said she was “off her game”…. Patiently guiding everyone in the best direction, cocktails, appetizers, entrees, dessert (I don’t know how we had room!) were all fabulous. We always enjoy the ambiance at Coles, though some may find the noise level a bit competitive for a quiet meal. The evening was wonderful, but always made even better when sharing it with the right people. We all came away giving full marks to the service and food at Cole’s
