Most of the seating is indoor inside of the Micher's Greenhouse there, so even if the weather hadn't of been nice it would have been a great time. There was great live music as well. We decided to get a bavarian pretzel to split, as well as her getting their raspberry crepe while I decided on their lemon curd crepe. Everything we had to eat was fantastic. Everything else I saw on the menu sounded delicious. Service was also quick and fantastic. The kitchen was pumping out food quick and the wait staff had it out to us as soon as possible. I'll always recommend this as a nice date spot for others.

It's the perfect spot for a catch up with friends, a date, or even a solo retreat. Nestled inside Michler's nursery, the verdant surroundings make for a transportive experience. You are set away from traffic and the sounds of the rest of the world. At the holidays, they host a lovely holiday market with a gift fair and bake sale. It's always lovely.

Today I tried Hello Falafel, and I can honestly say it was one of the best Mediterranean dining…read moreexperiences I've had in Lexington. We ordered the Mix Grill with chicken, lamb, beef, rice, hummus, and falafel, along with a Chicken Shawarma Sandwich and hummus with meat. Everything was absolutely delicious, but what truly stood out was the homemade taste in every bite. The rice was incredible--fluffy, fragrant, and full of flavor. The hummus was smooth, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and all of the meats were tender, well-marinated, and cooked perfectly. What impressed me the most was that nothing tasted processed or mass-produced. The food had that rare, comforting flavor that reminds you of coming home and finding that your mother has spent hours in the kitchen preparing a meal just for you. You can truly taste the care, tradition, and love that goes into every dish. Having enjoyed authentic Middle Eastern food for many years, I can honestly say this place exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for genuine Mediterranean cuisine in Lexington, Hello Falafel is absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back!

The feel of the place is so warm and comforting and the two amazing women really put their heart and soul into everything they make...if you ever get time or don't have the time, take my advice and MAKE THE TIME to visit and try any and all food from NOURISHED FOLKS

Hidden gem in for TAKEOUT / freezer meals Lexington! (Note I have only picked up food, have not…read moredined in.) I order the weekly salad subscription and pick up at Wilson's grocery but the best surprise ever was their postpartum meal package!!!! I will be gifting this to my mama friends. I recommend this for any post-op/post-surgery to replenish you, or if you just need a healthy reboot. I was able to freeze and thaw when I needed them - amazing teas, soups, burritos, and fried rice with TONS of veggies. Truly this made for faster recovery, more energy and healthy baby. So so grateful - thank you NF!!!

I've been here 3 times, dinner, lunch, and Sunday brunch and each visit was amazing…read more The food has always been on-point, the menu is not your run-of-the-mill fare, and the service has always been top notch. My only complaint is the noise level can get high, as it seems to draw larger crowds (baby shower at table next to me at brunch.) I think some acoustic tiles or other noise blocking mechanisms would be great. But don't let that stop you from trying this gem! 1/26

Char on Ashland is a must-visit in Lexington! We tried five items and here's the honest breakdown:…read more The Cinnamon Bun is a 10/10 -- hands down the star of the visit. It's enormous (easily shareable between 6+ people) and absolutely delicious. The Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich was a close second at 9/10, a great classic executed really well. The Banana Bread Latte was an 8/10 -- very good but ask for it less sweet. The Iced Cinnamon Bun Latte and Eggs in Heaven both landed at 6/10. The latte sounds incredible on paper but the cinnamon bun flavor didn't quite come through, and while the Eggs in Heaven dish itself is a good concept, my eggs were unfortunately not cooked to my liking. We really enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying our breakfast! Service was good, a little slow but they were very friendly! Overall a great spot with a lot of potential -- the pastry alone is worth the trip. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

My son and I decided to share the Tour of Italy. I don't pork so the waiter was very helpful in finding alternatives. The best part of the meal was ravioli.

I am so very grateful for the service! My husband had the salmon. He said that it was cooked absolutely perfect. And my kids had pepperoni pizza with fries and grapes. Our waitress made sure that all of our drinks were filled and gave us enough boxes and bags. If I ever end up back in town, this is the Olive Garden I am going to.

Every year, while driving between Chicago and Florida, we make a tradition of stopping in Lexington…read moreto take our friend out for dinner. This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.
