Coles 735 Main - gton-Fayette

An amazing evening at Coles, celebrating two birthdays and the Coles staff didn't disappoint. The drinks, food and desserts all were amazing. Thank you to the entire Coles team for making it a special evening for our family.

Staff is attentive and knowledgeable and ambience is lovely. I ordered the Pompano Special and found a similar review from another diner dark colored, very dry and little taste, even with the sauce. Since this is a second remark concerning this dish, I would sub it out for Halibut or another white fish. I wish I could comment on the rest of our party, but everyone was very quiet about their meals. I wish I had stepped in to pay for it, as it was picked up by another family member.

A very good surprise The restaurant is very casual and quite packed but with a cozy atmosphere.... we were excited to we decided to order ALL the appetizers; well, except one because of the cross contaminated oil (since 2 in our party were allergic to shell fish). Everything was delicious: pork flautas, tomato soup, baked brie, spanakopita (too bad we couldn't try the panko avocado). The only entree we tryed was the duck that was also delicious. Important to note -and the reason we couldn't order more entrees was that the Bread was out of this world, simple amazing!! Dessert were not as good as food but ok. The only thing Not so good was that maybe not enough waiters for a packed restaurant,

We started at the bar. Small and cozy so we were happy to find 2 seats available. The bartendars were friendly and the house cocktail excellent. Not overall sweet with fresh herbs used. The food was delicious I had the Mahi Mahi special. Cooked perfectly with a sauce that was well balance with the sweetness of the tropical fruit and a little spice. The waiter picked a nice wine for the pairing. Only miss for the evening was the server disappeared close at the end of our meal. Another waiter noticed and come over when I made a small gester. He was very polite and the person I assumed finished the service and covered the dessert. How they recovered was excellent when noticed. You could see the staff watching the floor to ensure the guests were looked after and were friendly. I continue to recommend Coles 735 Main to friends and guest to Lexington. Please book ahead as it is always busy.

My wife and I chose to eat here for her birthday we chose wisely. Good was well prepared and served while still hot; dessert was covered in fresh picked strawberries. Service was attentive, yet not intrusive. We lan to return often!
