JWhitty: Start with the artichoke fritters... The shrimp po boy is amazing! You can also get it as a wrap too! The food is always hot and fresh and the desserts will make you want to skip dinner altogether! :)

David Robinson: Try the Summer Sangria! The Bacon Wrapped Twin Filets entrée was fantastic. Loved the atmosphere outside, live music, dimmed lighting & next to the water but mosquitoes were a little frustrating.
Ryan G: This place is amazing! Come eat here for a meal you won't forget. Foodies welcome
Jeff Baker: Outdoor bar staff was complete rubbish. Had dinner & drinks at the bar, messed up food order, and literally went through the entire experience without making eye contact with us. Inattentive service.
Sherpa Concerts: Lexington Opera House always brings great shows, so it's no surprise Black Jacket Symphony is coming! If you like Pink Floyd, don't miss "Dark Side of the Moon" on 4/26! Read more.
Gigliola Lubiano: Keep in mind that the seats are very tight. It's inconvenient to get through in the middle of a performance. Plan your restroom breaks accordingly.
