    Angel hair pasta with shrimp
    Diane E.

    Fun place to visit when in Midway. Easily located "midway" between Louisville and Lexington. Free street parking available. We enjoyed a nice cocktail before dinner from the full bar before enjoying a wedge salad (delicious champagne vinaigrette dressing) and pasta dinner. Portions were healthy and pacing was excellent. Highly recommend Gibson's!

    Fried Green Tomato BLT...Yum!!

    Every time I visit this gem...I am never disappointed. Excellent service: Alex was courteous, attentive and his menu selections were spot on I selected "The Pork Chop with peach glaze was tender and hands the best I've had....the fingerling potatoes and Brussel sprouts were perfectly paired. Oh my goodness! Everything was delicious! I will definitely visit again. Thank you! (Courtney keep up the good work).

    Yes the train runs right through the middle of town. Pretty cool!

    I know a lot of my reviews are 3 and 4 stars but I believe in calling out great foodie, drinkie places when I find them! Gibson is one of those great places too. Located in downtown Midway, KY it's a charmer. The dining room is street level and there's a bar down stairs too. Teresa and Zoey have been here before but my first time. No disappointments here at all!

    It had been awhile since I had been to Gibson's and I wonder why it took me so long! Our girls lunch was delicious. I had the crab cake appetizer and a bowl of shrimp and corn chowder. My mom had the grilled cheese special, and my friend had the beet salad. It all hit the spot. Highly recommend Gibson's for a warm lunch on a cold day!

    House salad and Bourdini cocktail

    I like to check out food pics for a place before coming and didn't see many here for the dishes I was interested in so here's my contribution. We got the Sea Bass pasta and Mussels which were both great. The pasta came with a house salad which was nice. My bourdini cocktail was also good! Service was lovely and attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will be back!

    Basic Burger that was juicy and cooked perfect. Would order again.

    This place is a cute little gem in Midway. 100% recommended for a stop through town or casual night out.

    Decor was very welcoming, food was delicious and our server was perfect. Highly recommend. Parking was street parking, which wasn't a problem on a Friday night. There are about four steps to entry way. Lower level (outside entry steps outdoors or middle of upstairs dining room) is a bar with seating - definitely not the same caliber look as upstairs, though it is the same food menu. Seating upstairs is a combination of booths and tables. Large exterior windows makes a gorgeous view of downtown. Outside door opens directly into dining area which unfortunately circulated outside cold air every time it was opened on our visit. Pricing is on the high side, but not unreasonable for food portion size and quality. Standard salad had chopped vegetables, which I prefer, over sliced. Ranch dressing was homemade and delicious. Croutons tasted homemade and were excellent. Pasta dish was not overcooked and sauce was amazing. Salmon glaze was delicious, though a bit too sweet. Daily filet special had great flavor but steak was very tough. Loved the different taste of the Mac and cheese and the scalloped potatoes. Crème brûlée was done perfectly. A superior choice in downtown Midway.

    Crab Cakes Entree

    We received a gift card as a wedding present so we made reservations and went tonight. We waited quite a while before anyone came to our table and got our drink order. It wasn't busy inside but we assumed maybe it was busy outside. It was at least 25 minutes after we were seated before we received the drinks we ordered from the bar. Our waitress never brought us bread. The owner/manager had to bring it. We got the Gibson Salad with our meal and I was so excited about the warm bacon dressing, but it was a little disappointing. Not much flavor and kind of oily. Now, when my entree came, it was absolutely delicious! It was hot and tasted so good! I ordered the crab cakes entree and it came with an angel hair pasta with artichokes and sun dried tomatoes. It was phenomenal! I just wish the service had been better. Maybe our server was busy outside and was having a bad night.

The scenery, atmosphere, and overall property create a relaxing environment that feels very "Kentucky wine country." The staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and wonderful with families and kids. The gift shop and tasting space itself functionally was not laid out in a way that made the experience especially easy or comfortable to enjoy. For those of you interested in tastings, there is nowhere comfortable to sit during the tasting process, unless you want to trade into plastic cups and head outside. This unintentionally created a rushed feeling, even though the staff themselves never pressured us. As for the wines, I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, Equestrian Series, and Crimson Cabernet. I personally tend to lean towards drier, more robust wines, these felt fairly lackluster overall and lacked the depth and balance I personally look for in a wine that can either stand confidently on its own or pair beautifully with food. A few of the sweeter wines others in my group sampled came across far more grape-forward than expected and reminded me more of juice than a refined wine experience. (My overall impression was they paired more with $10 bottles than the prices that were asked) While the staff was clearly well-intentioned and friendly, the overall tasting experience lacked some of the seriousness, polish, and professionalism that you would expect from a true leader in the wine space. We had to request that glasses be emptied and cleaned between tastings, water was never offered between pours, and some of the finer details that elevate a winery experience simply felt overlooked. That said, this place has a lot of potential. Between the scenery, atmosphere, and welcoming team, I could absolutely see why Talon Winery would become a favorite spot for locals or visitors looking for a casual afternoon outing. However, for those looking for a polished, elevated "Napa-style" wine experience, this may not quite be the home run I had hoped it would be.

The waitress was prompt, knowledgeable, and did a nice job with service. The excellent rating comes from the FOOD which all arrived timely! The jambalaya was tasty. One friend ordered a burger with bacon so thick he was glad he requested it crispy. The burger itself was a generous sized burger...so much he took 1/2 to the hotel to eat later...and the fries so good he ate all of those at the restaurant (we all had some too!). BBQ pork sandwich was also delicious and a generous portion - the side salad also good. I had 3 small plates for $15 - all three were excellent and generous portions! The shrimp boil was tasty and perfect for a cool autumn evening. The salmon cakes with garnish were crispy on the outside and moist, nicely done on the inside - good flavors with sauce. Finally, my favorite was the broiled brussel sprouts with thick bacon chunks, poached egg, onions, and a sauce that tied it all together. If I wasn't so full, I would have licked that plate! The Saturday evening entertainment, added a nice touch to a special evening out with friends. On the other hand, the fried black eyed peas were...ok as an appetizer - more a curiosity for us. The deep fried pickles were house made and good...though sweet pickles which was not expected. The accompanying sauce helped to make it good...we were a little disappointed it wasn't a dill pickle. I definitely look forward to coming back here and trying other things on the menu. If this was any hint of what else might be there, it will be well worth the trip!

They blamed the band for adding tables , funny thing is the table next to us was not added and they didn't served either!! We left with no service after an hour and a discussion with the Owner.
