Best Historic Restaurants in Lexington

We had the pleasure of eating the Valentine’s Day tasting menu at 80 Thoreau last night. Everything was amazing — the drinks, the food, the service, the ambience. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, as we always do. One of our favorite restaurants, hands down.

Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We liked the wusong very much yesterday. Besides, the next day was my birthday and they left a birthday present on my table. and they gave me a birthday dessert.everything was amazing i appreciated it.

Our waiter, Felipe, was terrific. Timely service and we never felt rushed. Cocktails were excellent. We started with the fried calamari appetizer, which was very large and not the least bit greasy. Our steaks, filet mignon and NY strip, were cooked perfectly as ordered and their sides are large enough for two people. Not inexpensive, but a great restaurant for special occasions.

I took my 83 yr old mom and she loved it! Each tea cup is different, each plate is different as are the tablecloths and chairs. Very fun. Lots of tea choices and the finger sandwiches are good and then there are sweets on the top two layers of the tray. It is a bit loud, but overall fun. The server/owner was lovely.
