Horrible Experience and Food..I booked reservations for tive for my sister's 75th birthday. We were seated before 6:00, our reservation time. Our waiter came immediately and took our drink orders and things went downhill from there. They had a large party (maybe 20 people) in the back room. They switched our waiter out because he said he had to help maitre'd so the other guy could work the big party. We finally got a waitress, ordered appetizers which took 45 minutes to arrive. The duck bacon wontons had no meat inside, just cream cheese and corn and the loaded french fries were a bowl of french fries with a sauce dumped over it. It was a soggy, disgusting mess. We ordered our entrees and 30 minutes later was informed by the waitress that we had just missed putting in the order before the big party. Wait, what??? So, after another 45 minutes, we were served. The pasta in the Chef's Choices was elbow macaroni...at an upscale restaurant? NO! And, everything was seasoned spicy or hot. Even my "plain" ribeye was highly peppered. Then, the bill! There was an 18% gratuity for food and service for a "large" party of five. What??? And, they were well aware that it was her birthday and they did not offer the birthday dessert and after 2 hours and 15 minutes, we did not mention it as we had to go! Wasted time and money. Horrible experience. Never again. read more

Round of applause. I absolutely love this place. Every item ordered for our table was 5 star. Our reservation time was honored and we began our meal immediately as we sat. This entire experience was well worth every penny. The attention to detail in the restaurant and food is what this city needs. Hidden treasure and I will continue to visit. read more

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. The service could have been better. Once we finished eating the check took forever to come. Also I wish they had more options on the menu for children. read more

Everything we had was Phenomenal!!! Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Food was amazing and the vibe was really laid back and chill. I can't wait to go back read more

2 stars because it was just wasn't good food. Firstly, the service was slow; we only had drinks refilled one time which was at the end of the meal. A porterhouse steak was ordered medium rare, but was served medium well. It was sent back, and 15 minutes later a new steak was served raw. Both times the steak was served, our server did not wait to check the temperature after the first cut. Which a server should always do at a "steakhouse". Secondly, the menu is just all over the place. Half of the appetizers consist of wonton chips (but this is not an Asian restaurant) and the other half is just fried food. A sign inside says "Lexingtons steakhouse" but I beg to differ. What steakhouse doesn't have mashed or baked potato as a side option? Below average food, I won't return. read more

Excellent service and the most delish food last night! So nice having a great steak restaurant in the area. Calamari and freshly prepared sauce was too good to leave a crumb! Kudos to the chef and staff! Brussel sprouts, ribeye, NY STRIP and shrimp - very savory. They make their own bone sauce! read more

Visited on 1.14.25 as was extremely disappointed. The food was barely edible. My wife got the $45 filet with Brussel sprouts. The filet did not look like a filet and was not cooked evenly throughout. It ranged from raw to medium, it was ordered medium well, most unappetizing. The sprouts were covered with a hot sauce that rendered them inedible. At the end of the meal, the waitress offered to bring some without the sauce, but too little too late. Brussel sprouts was the third choice by the way, as they were out of mixed vegetables and baked potatoes! I asked about bread and was told it was offered, but they were out, and I could come back tomorrow. I ordered the nacho with ribs that were served cold. The cheese was already hardened and the meat, while luke warm, had no taste. I asked if they had any bar-b-que sauce and if they could be heated. They obviously took them back and heated them in the microwave and then the nacho chips were wilted. This was $81 that was wasted, and I'll chalk up to a charitable contribution. The food was a couple a notches below the Waffle House and outrageously expensive for the quality and taste of the food. This is a one and done for us. It was much worse than not good. Save your money and if you want a good steak for comparable money go there are way better places in the area. read more

We have never found it to be open. The website says yes. Call to make reservations get a another message. read more

Listen, I would prefer to give bone appetite 5 starts... The food is typically Great, the duck frites appetizers are my absolute favorite thing on earth... I've Never had a bad cheese cake from there and the service is always typically good. I actually eat here maybe about once a week... However..... today is my birthday and I wanted to eat at bone-appetite for dinner with a group total of 6 people... There is absolutely no way to make a reservation until they open.. I called the number earlier today (10 am) for the restaurant and they didn't answer but it says you can text the number for reservations. So I text the restaurant and request a reservation. I get no response for the remainder of the day. But I plan for my entire group to eat there. So I call again at 3:30 pm but still no answer. Finally at 4:00 pm I call and the girl answers the phone and tells me they aren't taking any reservations and if I walk in they will NOT seat a group. I'm so beyond disappointed that a restaurant that I LOVE can't figure out how to do online bookings like open table etc... or text you back.. I'm incredibly disappointed to the point that I most likely won't return... And the girl who answered the phone, I told her it was my birthday and she said "oh well, so sorry, hope you have a great day" and hung up.. where is the costumer service...? She could definitely use some training on how to properly handle the situation... Hope they can do better in the future :/ read more

Diamond in the rough we busted this establishment couple nights ago and it was amazing.Highly recommended reservations gets really crowded.Parking was fine we entered got seated right away and our waiter was the bomb.The restaurant was nice and clean all employees were very responsive to any needs we had.Started Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls they were awesome and for our dinner entrees I had the orange peppered red snapper it was delicious if your a fan of snapper.Wife ordered a house salad and added salmon bites to the salad and she loved it.Definitely worth the wait for cocktails she also ordered cucumber mint mule she loved it.They have a nice list of choices for cocktails.Definitely recommend this establishment. read more

Don't have the audacity to list on your menu that substitutions are not welcome when every time I come in you regularly fail to give me what's advertised on the menu. Order a drink with bleu cheese olives, you don't have them. Order crostini, you send wontons. No communication prior, just deal with it. Always plenty of parking and the staff stay busy. Service traditionally slow , menu limited, but food has been ok. No desire to go back anytime soon but grateful they seem to be doing well. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Everything was perfect and the service was excellent. Tried a couple of speciality drinks that were also very good. Even the desserts were perfect. We will definitely go back!! read more

Yall know I only post when it's really good or really bad. Food was barely edible and I'll eat anything. Wait staff were lovely so 1 star extra. But I was so looking forward to adding this to my Lexington lunch locations. I will never return. Short rib over potato was too salty to eat. No condiments given. Only two sandwich items on the nonexistent lunch menu. Y'all need to learn how lunch is done if you're gonna survive. Good luck! You're gonna need it. read more

Great atmosphere. The ambiance of the bar is amazing. The food is delicious. Justin and staff are top notch!

Food was good! We both had the ribeye, cooked exactly as ordered. My asparagus were a little over cooked but tasty. Service was good if you're not in a rush. The waiter was knowledgeable & friendly. The chef stopped by our table to check if everything was to our liking. Ambiance was ok... definitely some renovation since it was the seafood place. Linen tablecloths & flameless candles, fresh flowers on the tables. I'd have given it 5 stars if they'd have had my guy's bourbon (limited selection) and the menu had had more description of the items offered (such as duck bacon frites). Over all, solid place to eat nearby. read more

Visited Bone Appetite last weekend with out of town guests. The first red flag was noticing that tile floors of the restaurant were sticky. When we were seated, the waitress immediately indicated that they were "sold out" of several popular items on the menu due to a "packed house" from the previous night. The simple entrees we ordered were lackluster, overcooked (e.g., grilled salmon and ribeye)--not to mention overpriced. In addition, the oyster appetizer was inedible--excessively salty and charred. The service was also very slow. Overall, we were embarrassed that we subjected our guests to this dreadful experience. Extremely disappointed in Bone Appetit; will NOT return. read more

As always~ absolutely delicious meal. This place never disappoints. The ribeye was chargrilled to perfection! Do yourself a favor and order a French Martini to start off your evening! read more

I really enjoyed my evening here. They have put in a new and very cute outside seating area which was nice on a pretty night. We were taken care of by the bar manager AJ and she really knows how to make a great drink! We decided on the Orange Pepper Snapper and it was perfectly cooked. We are from a beach town so we are picky about our seafood. The mixed vegetables were seasoned wonderfully and so were the sidewinder fries. The menu is moderately priced in comparison to the quality of the food. Overall we were very happy and will return. read more

Food is always delicious every time I go. Love a locally owned restaurant that cares about the quality!

Put this restaurant on your MUST list! Great food, great service! Attention to detail puts this restaurant in the five stars. And the staff is knowledgeable and lovely. Summer and Fatima made great recommendations and were very attentive and welcoming. I'll be back! read more

Had a great steak tonight, and the brussel sprouts are as good as I have ever had anywhere (and I've had a lot of good brussel sprouts). It's also really nice to find a place in Lexington with a good wine list. Started with a cocktail that was very good, and the whole experience rounded off a five star rating from me and my husband. read more

I have dined here several times and never disappointed!!! Excellent service, great drinks & perfectly prepared food. Loved Summer, a great server. Ray mixxes some excellent drinks and 5stars to the chef!!!! I'll be back. read more

Food and service top notch! We tried three apps ~ short rib nachos, fried zucchini, and duck bacon fites - all delicious! Rib eye entree was large and excellent! Mint julep and house sangria were also excellent. On top of all this the desserts were the bomb. Lemon raspberry cheesecake, peanut butter pie, and chocolate beignets made you think you were in New Orleans! Prices for this quality were reasonable and portions were big. Highly recommend! Ambience upscale with nice bar area. read more

Our server was very attentive and provided good recommendations we really enjoyed. The ribeye is well seasoned and the brussel sprouts were perfectly crisp. The Philly cheese steak egg rolls were a creative spin on a concept I've had before. I love that they have a good variety of mocktails. The butter pecan bread pudding was my all time favorite! read more

2 stars for the steak, it's a nice clean restaurant. But it doesn't mean you lay down nice cloth on tables you can charge extra. The menu clearly says a chef is cooking but yet they have salt and pepper shakers on table. The food is mediocre and better off going to the outback or longhorns. Kinda disappointed read more

We had a 7pm reservation and were greeted and sat right away. At 7:10, the host came over and apologized for the wait, but got us started with drinks and they were on our table by 7:11. Around 7:15 our waitress came over and apologized for the delay. She was polite, asked us if we had any questions about the menu, and proceeded to take our order. We were excited about the mac and cheese, but our waitress told us they had to make a fresh batch and that it would take about 45 min. We didn't mind the wait and told her we would wait however long it took. She was consistent with filling up our drinks and checking in on us and at around 7:50, she told us our food would be right up. It got to about 8:00 and we thought "oh it must be taking so long because of the mac and cheese and it's going to be so fresh!" She came back over at 8:10 and told us that actually the mac and cheese was going to take too long, so they wouldn't be able to serve it to us. She offered us another side, but we told her not to worry and just bring out our regular order. The menu was very plain and lacked good descriptors, so we really didn't know what to expect. We got our food by 8:20 and they plating was nothing stellar. The "shareable" sides were not of a very shareable size, but they were tasty. The brussel sprouts were very good, just a little too much sauce. The salmon was ok! Not much flavor, but I didn't really know what to expect other than the menu descriptor of "blackened." The ribeye with the bone-in sauce and the whiskey shrimp were good. Throughout the night, it seemed like every table around us had an extraordinary wait that all of the waitresses were apologizing for. It was busy, but no busier than any other restaurant on a Saturday night. We also noticed that there weren't any real "zones" for the wait staff. Our waitress had tables all over the restaurant! At the end of our meal, she took the time apologize for the wait again and explained that as they are still new, they're still figuring it out. Apparently, they were busy last night too and had sold out of many menu items which also affected today's service. She also told us they took way more reservations than they should have for tonight, so everything was very rushed. She encouraged us to come back on a week night and try to give them another chance to impress us. All of this was unprompted... we didn't complain about the wait or share anything negative with her! I really want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Things were clean, the staff was friendly, and they had fresh flowers on the table. Unfortunately, Bone Appetite is not worth a return trip for us. read more

Our waiter Craig, who is from my home country of Panama was so great at tending to our questions and what we needed. He was very engaging. The food was excellent they were out of the salmon but the cobia, steaks and chicken our table had were done to perfection. Very comfortable ambiance not jam packed with tables very nicely done decor. Well stocked bar as well. read more

I really want to give this place another star, but I had the most horrible ribeye I have ever eaten for a really expensive price. The restaurant looks like it was literally thrown together without any thought or good taste. I ordered a specialty drink off of the menu that was actually delicious and $12.50. For my meal I ordered the cowboy cut ribeye. What Is a Cowboy Steak? A cowboy steak is a thick (2 1/2"-3") bone-in ribeye cut between the ribs and feeds 1-2 easily. I received a 1/2 inch cut ribeye obviously frozen for quite some time with so much salt on the steak it was like licking a salt block. I can't believe someone would actually serve that to a person. I chose the brussel sprouts as a side which were rock hard, and I had to chew it for ten minutes to swallow it. I really wanted to like this place, but you can get a better steak at Waffle House. It is definitely not worth the drive to the middle of nowhere to eat here. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back to give it another chance. The service was good, the drink menu was pretty epic, I have never eaten a steak that bad in my life. It was no where near a true cowboy cut, and my dinner was so disappointing. read more

We are regulars at least once a week . Justin and the staff continue to amaze us with new delicious dishes and drink offerings . I only eat fish and understand the challenges it can present preparing but the fish is always fantastic even though I'm dining at a steak house . We have never had a bad meal there since the opening . I encourage all to take a trip slightly off the beaten path for a wonderful dining experience. read more

The food is amazing!! Whether it is steak, fish or chicken it's absolutely delicious!! Fantastic bar. They take pride in pleasing their customers. Outstanding service from a full staff. The desserts are heavenly. The ambiance is well balanced to ensure you have an enjoyable experience. Once you try this restaurant, you WILL be back! read more

Really neat place the way they have it set up. We both had ribeyes and they were cooked perfectly. They also have a really good bar and drink menu. Definitely worth a visit and we will return. read more

Excellent food and service. Atmosphere is great and very tasty appetizers for happy hour.

Great food, service, and atmosphere!!! I wish it was closer to downtown Cola. We would be there more often. Still, very worth the drive!!!

Good food, ok service. Waite a few hours for dinner but drinks were also slow in getting to us, making this a 3 star instead of 4. Steak was really good, just seemed a bit overwhelmed with a large birthday party and more folks coming in. read more

Appetizer and steaks were delicious but steaks were lukewarm. Service was fairly good. Chef's Choice potatoes were excellent, but also lukewarm. read more

The drink menu looked delicious but maybe a bit too much for the bartender to handle. Ordered drinks and then later ordered appetizers. Our appetizer came and we finished it before we ever got our drinks which were average. Appetizer was good but steaks were way, way over cooked!! Not good at all. Definitely not worth the price. read more

Had dinner there tonight. I had the split bone-in ribeye and loaded potato. Best steak I ever ate!!!! Appetizers were all delicious and our server Ray, was the best.Definitely will be back!!!! read more

This place blew me away. ALL of the food including appetizers was delicious. I cannot remember the last time I had food this good. The staff was also so nice. Ray was our server and so kind and helpful. Chef Justin came out and spoke to us as well. We ordered two desserts and it was like heaven. The cocktails were also very tasty. This is now going to be our designated date night spot and my favorite place in Lexington/Columbia. read more

I've loved my service with Summer, however; the owner is super unprofessional. The food was awful and tasted spoiled. I've seen someone get fired with no notice. I would not support this business. read more

Food was great, drinks were outstanding (thanks AJ) and the manager was on point!! Nice atmosphere and love the HUGE bar!!!
