I ordered The Floyd and my friend got the Paloma & a Strawberry Margarita. Also, ordered the Bacon Bleu Cheese Dip with Pita Chips: AMAZING!!!

It was okay, but tasted water, was weak in the chartreuse area, and was served in a tall beer glass. Presentation is important with drinks, and I felt like this was a drink I could get from any bar on a street in Savannah or some other southern city. It was only 13 bucks, so I can't complain too much. I also had their strawberry sire spritz, made with strawberry infused aperol, sweet vermouth, prosecco, and an orange slice. I didn't really taste the strawberry and it was a weak, unimpressive spritz. But again, 13 dollars. They also offer mules, drinks with chili infused tequila, tequila, bourbon and fruity purees, a large beer list (a mix of domestics, IPAs, ales, ciders). They have a wine list, but given the names and prices, I would skip it. They have a bar bites menu in which I didn't partake. Located in The Sire Hotel, it's quiet, low key, open, uncrowded.

We ordered several tapas to share. We started with the Lettuce Wraps, made with onion, garlic, ginger, peanuts, Thai red chilies, and ground beef. The beef was tender and flavorful, with a touch of sweet sauce and a nice level of heat; the ginger and garlic added a lot. It was cooked in chunks rather than completely broken up, allowing for bigger, more flavorful bites. The chilies weren't hot but added texture, and the peanuts did too. The lettuce was crisp and fresh. Something about the dish felt like it was missing something to tie it together. Next, we tried the Pork Bao, prepared with char-sui-glazed pork (hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, Chinese five-spice powder, and fermented red bean curd), along with pickles. The bao bun was steamed, moist, a little sticky, and had great chew. The shredded pork was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, with a great chew and flavor, with a few crunchy bits too. The glaze had a slight heat on the back end, with sweetness coming through first. The carrots and green onions add light flavor, but the pickles provide a much-needed acid punch to cut through the heavier pork. We also tried the Duck Boa, which came with roasted duck, apricot sweet 'n' sour, and scallions. The boa again was really good. The duck was the star. It was sweet, crispy, tender, and juicy, with a great chew and flavor. The carrots had a sour, briny taste, with the scallions having a crunch. The apricot flavor was slight, but the sweetness came through throughout the bite, with the carrots' sourness coming through. Our last dish was Korokke: potato croquettes with peas, carrots, and curry gravy. The curry gravy was ginger-forward but only lightly, with a peanut flavor and a peppery finish. It has a good body and flavor, and it pairs perfectly with the potato. The croquette's crunch was really nice, and the peas added a pop of texture. The potatoes were a thick mash with small chunks to chew on, but they lacked salt and tasted slightly bland on their own. 3Ten offers a nice variety of menu items, shareable starters, salads, boas, entree dishes, and vegan selections. They offer a full bar with beer and wine. The wait staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu items. I highly recommend making a reservation because space is limited. The Fat Man says that 3Ten is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.

He really enjoyed it (he knows a thing or two about bourbon and Manhattans since he's been drinking them for a better part of 50+ years), so I decided to surprise him with another bottle of this particular bourbon, since you can't purchase it out of the state of KY. The price seemed high to me (as it did last year based on the amount you get in the bottle), but my dad does so much for me and my family, that a $35 bottle of bourbon seems nominal. I will say, I'm sure they sell this at area liquor stores, but due to not having a rental car and having such a short trip, I didn't really have time to bargain shop.

The price is about the same as most other places, but you get to get your drink whenever you're ready and you can close out quickly by dropping your card in a dropbox or go back up to the register and close out.

One of the booths was Boone Creek Creamery. Since I love cheese, I had to indulge and buy myself some! I love hot and spicy, so two of the flavors I got were "Sassy" (Sharp Cheddar with peppercorn and red pepper) and "Habanero" (Sharp White Cheddar with Habanero Peppers). Sassy was unexpectedly wonderful. Rather than hitting the tongue with heat, the heat was more in the back of the mouth and throat and lingered. No too much, but not too little either. Delicious. The Habanero on the other hand, exploded with heat from the initial bite. This one didn't hold back, it was full-on HOT! Way too often things that advertise Habanero try to be delicate... this cheese was not delicate in any way. It was HAWT!! And I'm a huge fan!! My third block is Blueberry White Cheddar. I haven't had any of it yet, but I have no doubt it will be epic! This was such a pleasant unexpected find. If you are in Lexington and like cheese... check them out. You won't be disappointed!!
