Harry's is great. If you want something more affordable and more casual than Malone's, Harry's is great. The atmosphere is great too. As a bonus, you can order from the Malone's or Aqua sushi menu as well.Their sliders are great. Get the trifecta do you can choose three different sliders.

This restaurant is very pleasing to the eye. The waiter and service were very good. I truly enjoyed the free appetizers when you order a bottle of wine. The wine was a little overpriced. We ordered a lamb special, unfortunately is was dried out and overcooked. There weren't a lot of choices we would eat on the menu. Dessert was excellent. It was our first time at this restaurant, we were disappointed.

We had dinner after a long day of driving. The service was great and so was the food. I had the chicken kabob and some great beer (bourbon barrel I think). Fun talking with staff.

In town for the Run the Bluegrass Half Marathon, we were looking for somewhere to eat that wouldn't be too heavy or complicated - just good food. Seeing Saul's sign we decided to give it a chance. It was busy (just like every weekend in Lexington) so we sat at the bar and let Trey help us out. The food was so good that the next evening we decided to not even try and top it - so back to Saul's we went. Sitting in the bar area we enjoyed different selections from the menu while having a different person in Trey's place who was equally as knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Saul's for good food, drinks and service!

Coles was the restaurant my new son-in-law chose to celebrate the birthday of his wife (our daughter.) It is an upscale place with an ambiance of wine and candlelight. The menu offers a wide variety, and everyone in our party found the food to be is delicious. One caveat: when ordering a steak, ask for it to be cooked a stage higher than you like. I asked for medium well, and mine arrived browned on the outsides only. This is not a restaurant most people would go to on a regular basis, but it is ideal for a special event.
