We love the Bistro Cafe. Good food, friendly service, great atmosphere! We are so sorry to hear that the restaurant is closing later this year. Lexington will miss this wonderful spot to gather with friends and family. We wish owner Jackie the very best in the future!

I was hoping this cafe would showcase great food but, it was good. Can't say outstanding when I compare to other upscale restaurants in cities with a historic downtown. The service was not as polished as I would have hoped, given the menu prices. Staff should be guided on how to effectively service customers more professionally. The server kept repeatedly placing the plated food hard on the table, but did apapologize. Dessert menu had a balanced selection, and our dessert was delicious.
