Metropol

This is a great restaurant to visit before or after a show at the Opera House. The older building with tall ceilings creates a beautiful ambiance. The food is divine. Although a bit pricey. more

This little place is so unassuming from the outside! In fact, I drove past it 2x before I realized where it was. Once I walked in (on a wednesday night, which was perfect timing-there was no wait), I saw the history in the building. One of the oldest buildings in Lexington, it was the first Post Office. Great pains were taken in the restoration of the structure and decor. Autographs of famous folks who have eaten there line the walls of the bar. Big Band music from the 30's and 40's plays at just the right level in the background. The staff are all excellent. I was originally seated upstairs in the dining room but when I ordered, I told the server I would prefer to sit downstairs in the bar at a table. He was very accomodating. Pros: Ambience Amience Ambience Cons: There are NO cons more

This fantastic restaurant is so quiant. Everyone feels like they are family. The one-line chef does extraordinary on every plate prepared. From the outside you would never know how fantastic this restaurant is inside. There was a bit of a wait for a table, but we didnt' mind as we sat at the bar and had a bottle of wine. The duck and the filet are both the best in town! Pros: Ambience, personable staff, great drinks more

I have always been impressed with the food and service at Metropol. The ingredients are always fresh and the flavors are superb (get the rack of lamb). I have brought numerous friends, and nobody has ever been disappointed. The best food in Lexington. Pros: great good, superb service, parking more
