OBC continues to be a place that thrives on placing food options from 15-50 dollars that are all excellent choices. We had a wonderful time, again. Chicken Parm Caprese may be my new go-to.

The food was wonderful as always, but of course, over-priced. The atmosphere was as expected except that we were seated next to what must have been an outside wall...it was so cold, I had to wear my coat through the entire evening. Our server was extraordinary...knowledgeable, professional, attentive, personable. It has been quite a while since I actually enjoyed conversing with wait staff but this young woman was engaging and thoughtful. She even offered us a TO GO dessert since it was our anniversary dinner...that was a gracious gesture.

Once again a nice lunch paired with good service. However…. A constructive note for the manager I walked into the restaurant at 11:38. There was just one hostess ( ‘shorter ‘ brunette. Don’t remember the name). With the face and the attitude of someone who hates her life and job she told me there were no tables available. Only the bar. I told her the bar wasn’t an option because I have a service dog. She didn’t offer any alternatives. No ‘let me see’ no ‘let me check’ nothing I walked back to my truck and drove to the next exit thinking of alternatives. Tried Open Table and saw actually OBC had plenty of tables available so I just made a reservations and drove back. I know we all have bad days and when you are at her age you’d rather do something else on a Sunday morning. But she probably needs a reminder of what working in ‘hospitality ‘ means. We have all been in her shoes sometimes in life and I don’t wanna cause any trouble but maybe she needs some extra trainibg

Had brunch for the second time here and it was fabulous again. Any time we are in Lexington we will stop here if possible. Our waiter even chased after us to parking lot when we forgot our to go box. Husband had crab cake Benedict and he is still talking about it. The candied bacon was amazing. My couscous salad with salmon was wonderful. Food and service perfect! Wish we had an OBC in Louisville area.

The food was definitely not an issue. The stack salad was amazing. We got ribeye and filet, and both were cooked to perfection. The service was good, our server was very nice. My only complaint was that we were seated at a table right inside the door, and every time someone went in or out, we were rushed with cold air. I had to eat dinner in my coat because we were freezing to death. In my opinion, this table needs to be removed. If you aren't seated there, it should be a great experience.

We arrived early for our reservation & were seated quite quickly. The bread served while we looked over the menu was fabulous. The food was excellent, though I wasn't expecting such a big portion and ordered a side with my entree, so was too stuffed for dessert. Our server was attentive and informative.
