Millstone

Why have we waited this long to dine here? The space is beautiful. Great decor. Comfortable seating. Warm and inviting. Plus it’s in a really cool building. The food was amazing. One of the best burgers in town. We got the specialty peach burger, but I can’t imagine the regular burger isn’t just as good. The fries - again - some of the best in town. We will be back - hopefully multiple times. Great addition to Lexington.

Genuinely, the best restaurant in Lexington. From the moment we walked in we were politely greeted and ushered to our table in the room to the left, which was tastefully decorated and had a great vibe and ambiance. We ordered Crab Cakes, Brussels' Sprouts, and Rolls (BIG BACK) to start with and each was extraordinary. The Crab Cakes had a Red Pepper Coulis sauce (I think) and Fried Green Tomatoes that complimented the dish perfectly, and the Brussels’ Sprouts were hands down the best my Wife and I had ever had. The rolls were also great and had a whipped honey butter to go with them. For our entrées, I got a 10oz Ribeye and my Wife got the Filet. The steaks were seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the fries on the side for my ribeye were next level (they were cooked in tallow I think, which made all the difference). My wife’s sides of root vegetables were excellent as well. We ordered an extra side of Mac and Cheese to Share, which although not insane, was still leagues above most places in Lexington (in their defense, I feel like there’s an upper limit on how good Mac and Cheese can be; it’s pasta, cheese, and butter; it’s always awesome). Rounding it out we shared a slice of cheesecake for dessert, which was stellar. Services was great, food was great, atmosphere was great. All in all it will not disappoint and we will be going back again and again in the future.

First time trying Millstone and really happy we did. This place could easily move into my top 3 restaurants in Lexington. Location is easy to get to and there is a parking area just across the side street. Millstone is located in the same classic building as a coffee shop. We were seated immediately upon arrival for lunch Friday. We chose the patio seating and it was an excellent choice. Interior windows also open up should you want fresh air as you eat. Our waiter recommended the Bacon Jammed Deviled Eggs and they were outstanding. We even recommended them to the table next to us when asked. Our entrees were Braised Short Rib with mashed potatoes and the Shrimp and Grits. The spare rib and potatoes just might be one of the best entrees I have ate anywhere. The shrimp and grits very good. ( note) The shrimp were well seasoned and have a spicy taste. Grits were as good as any I’ve had. ( Even in Savannah and Charleston) The service was excellent and patio seating was hard to beat. I have enclosed pics of parking lot, patio and our choices for the lunch. This place is flat out excellent. We loved it!

We enjoyed dinner with friends on the first night the patio opened for the 2026 season.The patio was perfect! We had Paloma and Black Manhattan cocktails, the Kentucky board appetizer, the chicken gnocchi and filet entrees, rolls and honey brussel sprouts. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. Our server was delightful and the staff was kind and attentive.

Millstone is a fantastic spot for couples. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and elegant, and the food feels truly chef-driven with beautiful presentation and gourmet flavors. Every dish felt thoughtful and elevated, and the cocktails were a perfect touch. A great choice for a romantic dinner or special night out.
