Great breakfast; service was impeccable. Will def return!

We have never had a poor experience and our most recent trip was as great as always. Highly recommended.

We arrived for our reservation on the nose. The place was very difficult yo find because the tiny sign was printed on glass, half-hidden by the decorative shrubs. We walked through the place and no one said a word…we had to ask to be seated. Our waitress brought the menu and there were only 2 items on the entire menu I can eat due to a wheat allergy (my tongue becomes very painful with sores). I live in coastal Georgia and did not come to Kentucky for shrimp pie (my only entree choice). Unfortunately, we had to leave.

I hesitate to write a review as we did not stay long enough to eat. Immediately upon entering, we were overwhelmed by the noise level. If there is any sound absorption system in place, it isn't enough. We were also surprised that the restaurant didn't seem to have the "vibe" we got by looking at it online. It appeared to be more of a nice restaurant than a bar, but in their defense, it does say bar/lounge on the description. The menu looked simple and good. Some places have so many choices it's hard to decide what you want. The young lady that seated us was very friendly and super understanding when we told her we were leaving because we couldn't hear ourselves think, much less carry on a conversation with our friends. If you are younger than us and enjoy that sort of environment, I would say it's a great place to gather with a group, be loud, and eat, drink, and be merry. You'll probably have a different experience that we did.

We were in town from all over the USA for a family wedding and had 18 of us Sunday night who wanted to get to together for dinner. 33 Staves accommodated our large group and did a wonderful job. Food was excellent and restaurant had a very nice atmosphere.

Two occupied tables and service was slow. Food was surprisingly good for hotel dining . Soda tasted watered down . But the blueberries in the pancakes was fresh and the fritters were delicious. Overall I would go back and just plan on a more Leisurely meal

Appetizer and dinner were good but there are other restaurants in Lexington with better food. Service was really good and I found the dining area neat so the ambience was some of the best in Lexington.

We had a great experience! Our server, Taylor, was awesome!!

Really nice hotel bar. Great vibes/atmosphere.

Breakfast was great!
