    What a great lunch! Free parking at parking lot just across side street. Beautiful classic building that’s also shared by a coffee shop. We arrived a little early for reservation but were seated immediately on the patio which was a great choice. Plenty of natural shade plus umbrellas. Should you eat inside and have a window seat the windows open wide for a great view. Service was excellent as was the food. We had Braised Short rib with mashed potatoes and Shrimp and Grits. Two great choices. Meat was so tender and the mashed potatoes just might be the best I have ever had. Grits were excellent also.( note) Shrimp were excellent but were a bit spicy. Consider the Bacon Jam Deviled Eggs for a starter. Exceptional! Definitely in my top 3 in Lexington.
