At Coles, we’re dedicated to bringing the art of dining to every experience. Crisp vegetables fresh off the vine, pickled onsite. The best seasonal ingredients available, sourced from local farms and trusted purveyors. And our menus go beyond the plate, with handcrafted cocktails featuring unique, house-made ingredients, hundreds of bourbons available for tasting, and an award-winning carefully cu

For the next two nights only!

Our special feature is an Elk Rib Rack — smoked, braised and seared — served with red beet & parsnip purée, sautéed broccolini, whole grain mustard demi-glace and finished with chive oil.

This one is perfect for a relaxing evening around our table. We’d love to share it with y’all while it lasts.

We’re proud as can be to celebrate longtime Coles server John Lann for winning a 2026 Lexington Hospitality Award for Service Excellence!

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to be at one of his tables, then you already know: warm welcome, genuine kindness, and the kind of service that keeps people coming back time and time again.

This award honors the people who help make Lexington and the Bluegrass Region feel special to visitors, and we loved seeing John’s Southern hospitality honored on the big stage.

For us, hospitality means more than just good service — it’s how team members like John make folks feel right at home the moment they walk through our door.

Help us show John some love! Share your favorite memory in the comments.

Whipped Feta has hit the menu, and it’s the spring appetizer we all needed. Served up with seasonal fruit, crostini and sumac.

Slow clap for the cheese, friends.

Thank you all for the support and votes! Cole Arimes, our Executive Chef and Owner, has been named Lexington's Best Chef for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!

Chef/owner life is a lot less Food Network glamour and a lot more everything else. We're most likely to find Chef Cole running from restaurant to restaurant wearing a funny (punny) t-shirt, multitasking, mentoring a team member, fixing some plumbing, covering for someone in the kitchen, donating a benefit dinner, camping with the kids, updating restaurant systems and, our favorite...supporting his people in every way he can.

Cheers to Chef Cole, and thank you Lexington and Smiley Pete’s 2026 Best of Lex campaign for the recognition!
