Thoroughbred Restaurant is a hidden gem in Lexington! 🌟 The atmosphere is cozy and historic, perfect for solo dining or gathering with friends. I indulged in their famous Hot Brown, and it truly is the best I've tried - rivaling even those from The Brown Hotel!

The service was fast, and the staff, including the owner Mark, made us feel right at home. He even surprised me with a chunk of KY bologna I’d been craving for years!

Don't miss their delicious strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Definitely a spot worth visiting again! 🍰
