    Ham steak
    Percy N.

    Taking a Christmas trip, the family decided to try Shaker Village. The village tour ended just in time for our 1PM lunch reservation. The 3 course meal looked was the best. It started with all 4 of us having the Hopping John's soup. It was tasty, with a lunch portion that was a little small (probably right for lunch). My wife and daughter had the salmon, and enjoyed it (my wife couldn't finish hers). I had the ham steak that was delicious. My grandson had the beef stew that was top choice. The service was timely. They said the oatmeal pie tasted like Pecan pie. My daughter and I tried it. It was like pecan pie, with less sugar/filling. My grandson loved the chocolate mousse. The feel of the restaurant kept the Shaker Village image in mind, and topped off our visit.

    Pickled veggies

    The Trustees' Table is a local (very local as much of the food is sourced directly from their own farm) restaurant located in Shaker Village. We booked a dinner reservation during a recent visit to Harrodsburg and it was an excellent experience. The restaurant strongly recommends making a reservation due to its popularity with locals. They offer seating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week, and a breakfast buffet on the weekends. Dinner was popular the weekend we visited, so the only reservation available for our group size was 830pm. We arrived and were seated right away. Our server was kind and knowledgeable; when asked about specific ingredients in dishes she took the time to double check with the chef, ensuring we were not inadvertently poisoned due to allergies and dietary needs. There are a variety of appetizers, salads, two soups (tomato celery and soup of the day), entrees, sides, and desserts. After ordering we were treated to complimentary country bread with butter and a dish of quick-pickled veggies (okra, carrots, baby corn, radishes, and onions). The bread was not vegan, but the veggies were so I was able to enjoy. The okra was a bit tough and woody but the other veggies were perfect, delicately flavored with a good crunch. The current seasonal menu has one vegan entrée - curried lentils with smashed sweet potato, and it is truly lovely. The lentils were a bit salty but as the sweet potato was not, as long as each bite contains some of each the overall dish is executed beautifully. Pricing is what one would expect for a farm to table restaurant located within a tourist attraction - not unreasonable but not necessarily inexpensive (my lentil dish was $18). I do wish there were more vegan options, including a vegan dessert choice. Overall though the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is lovely, the food is worth it - absolutely worth a visit.

    Very nice restaurant with good service and atmosphere. The tomato soup with celery was delicious. Add the cornbread muffins and yummy! The lemon pie is the best!!

    Went during lunch hours. Cozy place. Ordered Reuben sandwich with side of collard greens instead of French fries. Part of lunch they bring out mini corn bread which was light and fluffy. Tasted good. Had a chance to visit the gift shop which is on the premise.

    RESERVATION SUGGESTED I made a reservation at The Trustees' Table well in advance of our visit to Pleasant Hill. From what I could tell, there weren't any other eating options on-site except for snacks and grab-n-go items at the post-office store, so I was glad we'd made a reservation. There are picnic tables on-site and you can bring your own food, so I would do that another time. HISTORIC BUILDING Overall, it was nice to eat in a historic Shaker building/dining room. The food was decent. The waitress was friendly and doing her best on a busy day, but the wait time for food was a little slow. HOSTESS NOT EXACTLY WELCOMING The woman with short curly hair on the hostess podium was miserable, and generally added a sour note to our experience. If the restaurant is reading this, I would remove that employee from your podium as she is not a good candidate for the hospitality industry! We approached the hostess podium a little earlier than our reservation time due to timing and proximity to the restaurant, hoping we could be seated. The hostess barely said a word, didn't smile, grabbed 2 menus and marched us to our table. After the two of us were seated at a table for four, I realized there was a floor vent pumping cold air, which was uncomfortable, so I asked the waitress if we could move to a table for two across the room. The waitress went to ask the hostess whom I saw shake her head in disbelief that we'd asked to move. The waitress came back and did say yes, we could move. It really made more sense for the restaurant as we were now only occupying a table for two, not four! As far as the food, we enjoyed quiche with salad and soup with country ham biscuits.

Atmosphere was quite loud due to the acoustics and everything is hard surfaces. Including chairs. I like a comfortable chair instead of the 'we're going to make it so hard you won't out stay your welcome'. Service was very good and prices equally reasonable especially for the amount of food served. We weren't starving, but had a full to-go box between our two meals. The food was in the average category even though everything was well prepared and presented. (Hot/fresh). Just not a lot of flavor. Hush puppies decent but not much taste. Coconut fried shrimp about the same. Had to use the dipping sauce for flavor. Fries are fries. Cheese grits not very tasty and were bland sprinkled with a little cheese. Thicker than mortar! Key lime pie was excellent despite I'm not sure if they used key limes. Appears homemade with some actual zest on top. Although not 'limey' enough, good crust and custard base. Atmosphere-3. Food-3. Service-4. Value-4. I'd go back and probably try less fried food. Could be they haven't changed the oil frequently enough.

You can tell they're putting some effort into the food instead of relying on the cool Ford theme to carry the place. The burgers are seriously good, cooked right and full of flavor, and the onion rings are definitely worth ordering. Everything we tried tasted fresh and well prepared. Service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and on top of things without constantly hovering around the table. And then there's the atmosphere. If you're into cars, especially classic Fords, you could probably spend half the meal just looking around. The vintage cars, engines, gas station details, and garage theme are extremely well done. Even the bathrooms are part of the experience, which is a sentence I never expected to include in a restaurant review. It's just a fun place with genuinely good food and great service. Ford's Garage could easily get away with being a novelty restaurant, but the food is good enough that I'd come back even without all the automotive stuff. Definitely one of the more enjoyable restaurant experiences I've had in Lexington. We'll be back.

I ordered the burger without the bun or fries, and it was so overly salty that I struggled to finish it. My wife had the CACIO de PEPE, which tasted quite different from what we're used to, and the pasta was overcooked for our liking. My brother-in-law ordered the fish tacos, which were easily the standout dish at the table. My sister's chicken cesar salad was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant itself feels a bit unexpected for a rural setting, which may help explain its strong ratings. For me, though, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again--more of a "fine if someone else suggests it" kind of spot.

The atmosphere is super cozy and we felt welcomed from our first steps in. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and we met Michaela who took fabulous care of us for the evening! We settled in to a couple of their specialty cocktails (midwinters night dream and cardamaro manhattans - yummy I'll say) and the Brussel Sprout starter. Let me say to come hungry because the portions are large but yummy. The sprouts are a meal all by themselves! But there's more! I had the porcini rubbed filet and Teresa had the cabbage confit. Both portions were sizable and while I know she loved her cabbage, I was in heaven with a perfectly prepared filet that just melted in my mouth. Plus the asparagus spears and the Okinawa sweet potato mash were perfect accompaniment! Sadly, there was so much goodness we ended up bringing some home and we'll have to come back for dessert and another menu sampling. All in all a very memorable experience and a great place for a birthday dinner! But we'll be back just because! Special closing shout out to Michaela for taking such great care of us.
