We attended the Easter 2024 brunch. The event venue was set up in bright spring colors. I was…read morehesitant at first to commit to paying in advance for the food and tip prior to the event. Many times food on buffets is older the later in the day it gets and I feel that unfortunately if you pay for a service in advance the (servers) that they do not work for what they know is already a guarantee their tip. Copper Roux was very helpful to allow me to pay after our meal. They assured me that the food would indeed be fresh due to a new serving time beginning at 1:30. I know that we have all had a buffet service that was more for to feed the multitude and for the ambiance than for the taste of food. Unfortunately this was the case for there Easter Brunch.The food appeared to be left from the first brunch serving. My husband and I did not have any food that was hot or fresh from the buffet. All of the hot food lids were open, there was a choice of 4 pieces of Fried chicken, the corn pudding pan had a square left and was sitting in a pool of water. I saw our server 2 times first when she came to take drink orders, I asked for orange juice and she did not answer so I ordered water, later I saw orange come around the corner for another quest and I said to my husband,hmm they do have OJ. Then at the end of my meal I received an orange juice. Bottom line is they are very communicative getting you set up for a reservation and I am hopeful that on a smaller scale there quality of food and service would be what one would expect for 2 people at $97. I would not recommend or attend a special event brunch at this restaurant based on food and service.

**A Magical Stay in the Heart of Historic Frankfort**…read more Our recent stay at the St. Clair Hotel in Frankfort, Kentucky, was absolutely wonderful. From the fantastic food and welcoming staff at The Howser Tavern which is downstairs from the hotel to the beautifully designed hotel suite and historic surroundings, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We arrived a little early, so we stopped at The Howser Tavern for a quick snack and some excellent drinks. The restaurant is fantastic, with kind, attentive waitstaff and genuinely great food - I mean **great food**. The pizza choices alone included pepperoni and hot honey, pesto, Margherita, BBQ chicken, Buffalo chicken, and the Howser Special with capicola, green pepper, red onion, and Kalamata olives. The menu also offered cheese and charcuterie boards, soups, chicken salad, and wonderful sandwiches such as capicola and pepper jack, prosciutto and smoked Gouda, and salami and cheddar. Add in a wide selection of professionally mixed drinks served by a cheerful, knowledgeable staff who were happy to answer questions, and The Howser Tavern is worth visiting even without a hotel stay, try an Old Fashioned or bourbon. One especially fun benefit of staying at the St. Clair was a complimentary drink in the speakeasy. What a cool concept - and such a treat for tired travelers! Checking in was easy. The St. Clair entrance is clearly marked and visible both from the street and from inside The Howser Travern. We had one quick question about the room's keyless lock (that was us, not them), but the managers at The Howser Tavern who support the hotel helped us in about 30 seconds. We were inside the room immediately, and it was very nice not having to keep track of a key card. There are stairs and a roomy elevator for ease of access to the rooms. The moment we entered the hotel suite, we were impressed. The St. Clair beautifully combines the character of a historic building with modern comfort and convenience. The exposed brick walls, architecture, upscale furnishings, and new appliances create exactly the right balance of history and luxury. Whoever designed this hotel apartment did a wonderful job. Our suite had two spacious, comfortable bedrooms - one with what appeared to be a queen-size bed and the other with a king-size bed. The bedrooms were separated by the bathroom, which helped keep each room quiet and private. The mattresses, pillows, and linens felt luxurious, and everything was exceptionally clean. The entire suite had that perfect fresh, clean hotel smell without being chemical or overpowering. The bathroom was modern and spotless, with a very nice shower, plenty of towels, and a soft bathmat. My photos do not do it justice because I neglected to turn on the bathroom lights before taking them! With the lights on, it was bright, attractive, and extremely clean. I had seen another review mentioning water escaping from the shower, but we experienced no such problem. We experienced a well stocked, clean, modern, good water pressure shower. Down the hall was a large living space with a huge television, a comfortable couch, and chairs. The full kitchen included a table, plates, glasses, cups, a full-size refrigerator, a Keurig with coffee and supplies, a sink with soap and a sponge, a dishwasher with detergent, a stove, and a microwave. Everything looked clean, modern, and new. Parking was also convenient. We found easy street parking, and there is also complimentary spaces available to hotel guests in the garage directly across the street. The hotel's location makes the experience even more special. It sits along a charming old-town street with architecture spanning the 1800s through today. Nearby is a wonderful vintage-looking theater (with movies and bands), an outstanding music shop that we loved so much we wished it were closer to home, interesting restaurants and stores, and numerous historic landmarks. The Old State Capitol is at the end of the block, and the surrounding area offers waterfront parks and paths, historic information signs, beautiful churches, and homes and buildings from several periods of American history (1700-1900s) We enjoyed seeing places such as the old courthouse, Garden Hall, the site of the Love House, Liberty Hall and its gardens, the Bibb-Burnley House, the Lafayette tour plaque, and many other historic sites. Our visit felt magical, and I would love to return someday when we have more time to explore Frankfort further - we did drive by the current capital building (and visited the overlook) which was all somewhat close by where we were staying. I highly recommend staying at the St. Clair Hotel in the historic district. It offers beautiful accommodations, excellent food and refreshments very close by, friendly service, entertainment, fascinating history, and wonderful shops - all within easy reach. Did I mention the close buy cake, coffee, and the ice cream shops. It was truly a fabulous stay.

We only had the chance to stay one night at The St. Clair, but we had a great experience. We got…read morethe king room for an awesome rate and really enjoyed the hotel. I imagine the area gets pretty busy during the warmer months hosting bourbon enthusiasts and tourists alike (we visited in January on a Sunday night so things were quiet). Beautifully remodeled furniture store turned boutique hotel in downtown Frankfort. We stayed on the 4th floor in a king bedroom with kitchenette. Perfect room for weekend getaway. The tall ceilings made the room feel spacious but still cozy. Updated furnishings with modern decor. The bed was very comfortable! Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available in shower. The Howser tavern downstairs has a bar and provides room service to guests. The only thing that would be nice to see is maybe some vending machines in the lobby area. We wanted some late night snacks but didn't want to drive. Speaking of driving.... Parking was confusing until I googled and found an article that actually mentioned the parking garage being difficult for out-of-towners to find (thank goodness I wasn't the only one). The vehicle entrance to the parking garage is located down Catfish Alley. You can find designated spaces for St. Clair Hotel guests on level 3 of the garage. We definitely want to return for another stay at The St. Clair. Perfect stopping point on our way from Missouri to Pittsburgh.

She loves watching cooking shows, but has trouble walking and isn't the most adventurous eater. We've been to all the nice restaurants in Lexington that aren't too "weird". During my search for someplace new, I stubbled on the BlueHen Chefs' Yelp page. I was a little hesitant to talk to them, but scheduled a call anyway. They are fantastic! Soooo, easy to talk to and they LISTENED to what I wanted. The whole list of what my mom doesn't like, lol, and the bucket list dishes she wanted to try. They sent me a sample menu that looked good and I tweaked it a bit and added more courses. The result was a once in a lifetime meal for Mother's Day. Every dish was better than the one before it! I travel a lot and have tried many, many different things. I was blown away by how good everything was. We had a very eclectic menu that I thought would be challenging, but they had no problem. I can say that their crab cakes were better than I've had in Baltimore, their lobster risotto was better than Gordon Ramsey Steak, and their key lime pie was better than in the Florida Keys! The portion sizes were just right, too. Overall, I couldn't be any happier that I took the first step and talked to them. I can't express enough how good the food was and how comfortable they are to have in your home. They made my mother feel like a queen for a day. P.S. They bring a TON of things with them, all very organized. It's impressive. After the meal they clean up and leave your kitchen spotless. You also get all the leftovers and remaining ingredients. Have containers ready.

I have not been able to get up to a pool all summer with how busy it has been, and I was looking forward to this event at the Pool Cabana. The tour of the grounds was very, very nice. We learned so much about the mansion venue, about their golfing bar and golfing venue that you can rent out, and various venues you can rent out for your parties. They are one of the only resorts in Lexington, so that was very interesting. They're definitely prepared for a staycation or a romantic getaway. They have so many amenities like pickleball, indoor pool, outdoor pool, cabanas, bike riding if you want to go take your bike on a stroll on the Legacy Trail. As well as a spa and bourbon dispensers. (Literally) They also have fire pits all over the venue for you to roast some marshmallows, which I definitely took advantage of that because I love a burnt marshmallow. Also, we were able to try some appetizers and the mini hot browns stole the show! Obsessed! I had a great time with everyone and dipping into the pool. It is a very clean venue, very luxurious, and definitely a place to think about for your next vaycay or staycation. It's also very accessible for anyone with a wheel chair!
