    Hidden back in the lush trees, a little cafe so cheerful and charming…read more Ok! It's by chance that we discovered this new restaurant and greenhouse. This is a fully functional restaurant and or cafe style place. They have a great menu. The menu is seasonal. It's not simple by any standards. In fact it's a great little high end place for garden parties. But today it's just two simple individuals that are having lunch in a garden together. Now we had some sort of special lunch arrangement with hummus and a Greek like salad. It was fresh and delicious. They have great coffee offerings. You must have the flavored gelato with coffee. We had the hazelnut one. It's delicious especially on these hot humid summer days. The service was great. Not being from the area they had to explain the menu to us. A few times. But all went well. They make the gelato offerings as soon as they are ordered. The food they call at the end, eventually. It's made to order. Now where else can you eat in a green house garden? Here in Lexington! This was a first for us. They have all sorts of Sunday concerts while you dine. Music among the trees and flowers. Wow! You can come to poetry readings and relax as you hear the love of someone's works. I'll see you at the Garden next time.

    Awesome place; you enter through a greenhouse area and kind of follow the trail, sometimes stopping…read moreand wondering " is this a cafe" "maybe we are in wrong area " Another couple behind us said to keep on moving to the back, keep on going and voila this beautiful forest area opens up with tons of tables all randomly placed for dining. There is the ordering line and just a headed up they don't serve meat products. All dishes are vegetarian. You get to select 2 from the list for a meal ( as they are smaller portions ). They have some great dishes and savory tastes. They have beer and wines available; nice selection but not abundant- but when you have good selection in the first place you only need a smaller list. The hummus appetizer is awesome and great with the focaccia bread but I'd get at least a double portion bread right away. The porter was very good! If you're in Lexington stop here for the experience and some good food and drink!

    We had a family gathering of 9 folks with an 11 am reservation. They had the table set up for us…read moreand our server, River was excellent. She was efficient, polite and helpful. The space is small but bright and cheerful and very comfortable. Located in a strip mall there was amlpe parking. It was super clean in the restaurant and the bathrooms. The food however was not impressive to my husband or myself. I have some dietary restrictions so ordered 2 scrambled eggs and an English muffin. I thought the 2 eggs, that only looked like one based on the serving for $5 was a bit overpriced. But the eggs were good, nothing special, just plain scrambled egg(s). I could not eat the English muffin, it was grilled, not toasted and was greasy, which didn't taste good. River did bring me some jam that I put on one half of the muffin but it did not sit well on my stomach due to the grease. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. He did not care for either. I tasted his waffle and I too thought it was bland and dry. He said the chicken was greasy. It was a huge plate of food and he brought 2 of the 3 pieces of chicken home that we ended up throwing away. It was never really crowded which afforded us the opportunity to sit and visit for about 3 hours so that was ideal. The chicken and waffles (from the brunch menu) came with a buffet of pastry. 5 of our party had brunch items that came with the buffet and one one of them ate a muffin from that buffet. All brunch items were priced at $25. Again, I think a bit expensive for chicken and waffles. I doubt that I would ever go back but if I did it would be for coffee and maybe a pastry.

    I finally got here around 8:30am Friday (9/4). When I…read morewalked in I was surprised at how many people were here sitting at tables. I will say the noise level was on the louder side which is why I decided to sit outside . Well and to pet the cat as well! The line had 3 customers in front of me but went quickly. The man at the register was friendly enough. I didn't wait long for the barista to call my name. I just ordered a basic iced latte but they have a variety of espresso based flavored drinks like s'mores that sounded really good. The condiment area was well stocked and clean and the empty tables were clean as well. The space itself is designed very nicely and its cozy yet spacious at the same time. They have a pastry case with a variety of items that looked really good however I didn't get any. I sat out front in their garden for a little while and I was the only one sitting outside so it was peaceful. Their landscaping is done tastefully and its pleasing to the eye. As for parking I can't comment on that as I walked from where we live. On a sidenote its literally around the corner from Wilson's Grocery. That's pretty convenient.

    My family and I used to love this place, but the prices are going up and quality is going down…read more Paid $10 for two standard drip coffees this morning, and they were incredibly watered down. Horrible tasting and disappointing start to the day. Staff has an attitude as well. They acted like I was bothering them when I ordered my $10 drip coffees. Hopefully they turn it around.

For 2019, Selma's Catering and Events has the commission and is making some excellent food out of a barely serviceable food prep area. In the carriage house, the take-out style place has one table inside and three or four tables outside. The staff is very warm and hospitable, but easily overwhelmed by a crowd (we were 8 and a sandwich was forgotten - of course, for the wrong person in our group to have that happen to). The food was excellent. I had a taste of the Henry Clay, which is homemade pimento cheese on wheat bread with tomato jam and plenty of bacon. Imagine sweet and creamy with a salty crunch, and you may have a glimmer into this wonderful sandwich. The BLT was a classic and was absolutely loaded with bacon. The LOs' turkey sandwiches were incredibly generous. I had the Go West Young Man Salad, which was an entire sliced chicken breast with pineapple, strawberries and walnuts over chopped romaine. Served with balsamic vinaigrette, the salad was crisp and refreshing. DM had the homemade chicken salad served on crisp romaine, rather than a tomato, which was also good. Moist chicken with plenty of crunchy veg in a creamy dressing made for an excellent lunch plate. I highly recommend coming to the Ginkgo Tree Café, especially if Selma's Catering and Events has the commission.
