The atmosphere is very nice with some jazz music playing. Breakfast is expensive compared to Via Lago which is 2 minute ride down the street. The food was excellent and the atmosphere is calming. The total cost for breakfast (2 eggs, fruit and coffee) was $13.97. Lunch here was exceptional too, but again very expensive.
Artistry On The Green is located in The Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington. Beautiful dining room with enough sound absorbing material on the ceiling to keep the noise level down, It worked, they got quite busy at lunch, but it never got loud. The chairs looked uncomfortable, but they turned out to be very pleasant. Warm homemade Rosemary Focaccia and a small Brioche arrived with some delicious butter that was in spreadable condition. Of course, you get linen napkins.
Absolutely phenomenal food and even better service.
Town Meeting Bistro is a lovely little dining room in the back of a fancy little old inn in historic Lexington. The menu shows off seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients in a variety of upscale, but not pretentious, dishes, and the quaint decor evokes an 18th century-inspired feel without being over the top.
I arrived just after 8:00 (they close at 9:00) without a reservation, and after checking with the kitchen that they could accommodate me, no one on staff ever treated me like an inconvenience. I was serviced with kindness, sincerity, and class - and I made sure to return it with copious, well-deserved thanks.
The food was incredible. I had a parsnip soup with poached pears and candied pecans which was, for my mouth, like coming in from the winter cold to a warm blanket on the couch. It was so good, I’m determined to try and recreate it at home. I followed that up with a wild mushroom risotto which made me count my blessings that I enjoy both mushrooms and risotto. I washed it all down with a delightful rye cocktail, and would have partaken of dessert if my company dining budget would have had the space (it was also approaching 9:00 and I wanted to be considerate to the staff).
All in all, a fantastic experience. I’ll be sure to visit again, and perhaps stay at the inn as well.
