My department is comprised of all remote workers, so we usually only see each other in virtual meetings. Just shy of 40 people broke up into 4 teams to cook 4 separate dishes from veggie to dessert.

The experience was well organized, well managed, and in a great facility. All of the food was amazing and I feel some great bonds were formed across all areas of my department.

I'm convinced this broth is so hearty that it would be able to revive the nearly dead to perfect health! Food is served very quickly and the owner family / staff are very friendly and accommodating.

I was with a party of six and when it was time to pay the payment screen was not turned towards us and we were simply told our individual totals. We were not given itemized receipts. My beef pho was listed as 14.99 on the menu and I ordered a sweet tea, but my total was 23.69. After several people in our group noticed that their total seemed higher than expected, I asked about it and was then told that the gratuity was included. That was not explained to us before payment, and without an itemized receipt we had no way to see the drink price, tax, gratuity percentage, or how the total was calculated. There was one person in the group who ordered something for $14 and her total came out to $28! I don't have an issue with automatic gratuity and I consider myself a good tipper, but the lack of transparency of providing an itemized receipt made me question their integrity. Not sure if I will come back here which is sad because there's not many options here in Lexington for pho. The beef pho was very good by the way!

On my return visit, only a couple of months later, it was myself and a friend dining. While this particular rib-eye was much better than my first visit, the service was worse, the price of the same meal had jumped significantly also, so much so that my friend, who has been a LONG time supporter, even commented on the price of his dish. While the steak was good, the twice baked potatoes remain a mystery....I'm used to my 'twice baked' meaning there is much more effort put into them being prepared than simply resembling mashed potatoes with some (cheese) infused throughout ? In closing, I can't say the food was terrible but, the service was 180 degrees different from one visit to the other and the prices CERTAINLY did not measure up to the quality, portion size and service that I've experienced at other restaurants. I walked out of my last visit telling my friend, '"I just spent $53 (tip included) on a meal for one person, I think this will be my last visit here"

Maybe a 4.25 but we can't give partial stars. Brittney was our server. She knew the menu well and helped wis make our selections. The menu is lengthy. There are a lot of items from which to choose and can be overwhelming. Since it's a new to us spot I actually got breakfast items. My litmus tests are biscuits and sausage gravy & the grits no cheese added. Biscuit had good flavor. Is a tall biscuit cut in half so it looks like two flat ones on the plate. The gravy itself tasted fine. The sausage was lacking. You'l see the specks in the picture. If you get this I recommend getting a sausage patty on the said to cut up in it. Bacon? Crispy. 10 outta 10. Grits cooked well. A tiny bowl but if you eat grits it seems like the bowl refills itself. I added butter because I like grits in my butter. And just a couple hits of salt. They were not super bland. I do like to taste the salt or the salted water they should have been cooked in. Bae got French toast. Actually it was a breakfast combo meal. I do get the name. Ralph? Roger? Randy? He likes regular degular French toast. They delivered too! Powdered sugar and cinnamon. Scrambled eggs and sausage. I got a mimosa. They recommended the blueberry pineapple. It was decent but for me an overpriced menu item. I love a good mimosa but I think they're worth $3-$5 Again another litmus test. I won't reorder one there unless it's on special but it won't tell you not to order them.
