    Chicken Club on Focaccia with fries
    Aria H.

    My bf and I decided to stop in on NYE eve and grab a drink and snack. They were busy with only a handful of staff but we got seated right away. Our server took a while to get our food orders, but I think she was just overwhelmed. Our old fashioneds were tasty and our food was good. Would definitely go back to hang out in downtown Lex. Such a nice view.

    Hotel bar that will meet your drinking and hunger needs. Monday the food orders stopped at 10pm and could have used something.

    Sat down at the bar and didn't think I'd have anything but a glass of wine pre-dinner reservation down the street. However, Jason the bartender boasted he makes the best old fashioned in town so I figured it's worth a try. Let me just say... I'm a straight bourbon girl and didn't think I'd enjoy it but true to his word, Jason created "a balanced cocktail through and through". Can't speak to the food and with so many amazing restaurants in walking distance, not sure I'll give the kitchen here a chance.

    EXCELLENT service from Jay and DELICIOUS food and drinks here! I overdid it for one person and I got the charcuterie board, the beet and arugula salad, and the roasted Brussels sprouts. Everything from start to finish was top notch! Jay is a rockstar and is VERY good at his job. I love interacting with people who are good at what they do! Great job!

    While staying at the Hilton for a week, we ate here a few times. It's got some decent food options and better drink choices but we only ate here out of convenience. My coworker got a steak one night and didn't really care for it. Theres literally about 20 other choices in walking distance, several that we left for and was well worth the short walk....

    After a long day of travelling, and a very hot and humid tour of a great distillery, we wanted to have a cocktail before we headed back to the hotel for the night. We looked around online since we're not from here and were pretty skeptical reading reviews of The Bigg Blue Martini. But she really wanted to try a Bigg Blue Martini so here we came! It was jam packed as there was what appeared to be a pretty big deal concert at the arena around the corner. We walked in and thought there would be no way this was happening. We immediately ran into Amy, who pointed to a couple open tables and enthusiasticly said, and I quote, "Sit wherever makes you happy!" So we grabbed a table and hoped for the best. As it turned out, Amy took care of us. And took care of us she did!! We ordered the obligatory Bigg Blue Martini for her. . .and Captain and Coke for me, with extra lime. She ran off and was back in just a few minutes with our drinks. While we enjoyed our beverages, we watched and everyone that was working was running around like chickens with their legs cut off, (Note the reference to Hudson and Landry), everyone was attentive and we saw no one just standing around . We noticed that Amy was keeping an eye on us, out of the corner of her eye, the whole time and we were never in need of service! This woman is the definition of why people would come back! She was friendly, very attentive, fun, and energetic! We had a few drinks and we ordered food to go for later and she took care of it straight away! Once she even asked us from across the room, using aircraft hand signals, if we needed another round, while she took care of about seven other tables. I say, come here, look for Amy and enjoy a Big Blue Martini!!!

    This review is pointless I guess. They are closing as of January 1, 2026. Are they closing…read morebecause of the terrible service? Or did I get terrible service because they are closing? I sat at the bar and was ignored for about 15 minutes, even though they looked right at me. Finally one of the bartenders asked if I wanted food or drink, and I said just drinks. "I guess I can do that," he said, and then told me to move over to the other side of the bar to be closer to him (it was right by the door, so I got to experience cold rushes of air the whole time I sat there). Also during my time, a German cockroach skittered across the bar top. I thought maybe the bartender was just sullen, but he was very animated and interactive with the younger couple who came in after me. I had to flag him down for my second drink. Everything seemed like an imposition to him. The drinks were fine and well priced. But the drinks don't matter when the vibe is that bad. I got the check quickly and left.

    Really cool atmosphere. Speakeasy bar style... 3 women set up and played holiday music on violins…read more It was lovely. Very reasonably priced as well. Server and bartender were friendly. I ordered the Cuban and the Patty Melt, both with fries. The Cuban was soooo good!! The bread is grilled and crispy, buttery and amazing. The pulled pork and ham were so flavorful and perfect with the melted cheese and pickles. I would 10/10 order this again. The patty melt was also great. They also have my favorite fries (similar to McDonalds style fries). I'm sad they will be closing at the end of the month. A wonderful dinner.
