    Had a wonderful birthday dinner with cocktails and appetizers (and dessert) for my birthday. The creative craft cocktails are always delicious. Selections on the food and drink menus change periodically so there's always something new to try as well as old favorites. The burger is a favorite as well as the hamachi starter. Always ask about the current milk punch offerings and don't be afraid to give one a try (I love the matcha one and others as well).

    Lovely experience at Lexington House last night. We shared the cauliflower bites -so yummy and large portion. I had the pappardelle with duck ragu and my husband had the wagyu burger, both delicious! For cocktails I ordered a cosmopolitan and though it was not the traditional recipe it was delicious nonetheless. The service was great. Will be back.

    Let’s not judge a book by it’s Mother’s Day brunch, but by the consistent stream of interviews taking place in dining room for servers, the service was off its game and this place was clearly short staffed and yet not that busy. One of our dishes was completely wrong and two came without the accoutrements. The servers were lovely, and there were so good flavors but it seemed like the kitchen could not keep up. I see some promise in the menu so I’ll give it another go for dinner.

    The worst brunch ever and we waited over an hour for the food. The servers were very sweet, we felt bad for them. If you can’t cook, don’t offer Mother’s Day brunch.

    After the change in ownership, the restaurant unfortunately feels like it has lost some of what once made it special. To be fair, we visited for Mother’s Day lunch, so the menu was understandably more limited than usual. Still, the overall experience felt much more casual compared to when I used to come here 12 or so years ago, when it had a more elevated and refined atmosphere. The service staff seemed fairly inexperienced, the interior decor now feels a bit dark and dated, and the food portions were surprisingly small. The food itself was good overall, but the limited selection was disappointing and left us wanting more variety. I may give their dinner service another try sometime down the road, but for now, I probably won’t be returning anytime soon.

    How is this place still open?? For these prices, please go to ASA instead. The quality of the food, drinks is not worth the money.

FAQs

Families do dine here and guests bring teens or celebrate birthdays with children, so it can be family-friendly, especially for older kids. The menu focuses on shareable plates, steak and seafood rather than a kids’ menu, so for younger children consider an early seating or the patio and call ahead to discuss menu flexibility.

Yes, The Lexington House offers patio dining, including a heated patio with a fire-pit that many guests enjoy. Outdoor seating is used for cocktails and meals, though some guests reported being seated street-side on occasion; if you prefer patio seating request it when you book.

For deals and a livelier but affordable night, go on Tuesday, guests mention an all-day happy hour and 20% off snacks and drinks. If you want a quieter, more relaxed meal, choose a weekday early dinner (Mon–Thu). For a buzzing date-night atmosphere try Friday or Saturday evenings, but expect louder music and busier service during peak weekend hours.

They do run special holiday events (reviews reference a NYE prix-fixe menu and other holiday service), but public-holiday hours aren’t listed in the standard schedule. For specific holidays call ahead or check the restaurant’s announcements, as they sometimes offer special menus and extended service on holiday nights.

The Lexington House offers a dining room, a full bar with high seating, and a heated patio with a fire-pit and street-side views. The patio is popular for cocktails and casual dining. The restaurant does not advertise private dining rooms for parties, so for larger or private events you should contact them directly to discuss options.

The vibe is hip, casual-elegant and energetic, a mix of modern California with global influences. Guests praise lively music (RnB noted), craft cocktails, and a warm, friendly staff. It’s great for date nights and celebrations, though some guests find it loud on busy nights and others note occasional dips in energy since ownership changed. Overall expect a stylish, convivial atmosphere.

It depends on what you want: Tuesday is great for value, guests mention an all-day happy hour with discounts on drinks and snacks. For a lively night out or date-night energy choose Friday or Saturday. If you want a quieter, relaxed meal, pick a weekday (Mon–Thu) early evening.

Portion sizes vary by dish. Many plates are designed to be shared (small plates and shareable snacks), and some mains are generous, guests note the Lex Wagyu burger and the market fish can be large. Several guests also mention that some share plates feel small for the price, so ordering a mix of small plates plus a main or two is a common approach to leave satisfied.

The Lexington House serves dinner daily with slightly extended weekend hours. Dinner: Mon–Thu and Sun 4:30 pm–9:00 pm; Fri–Sat 4:30 pm–9:30 pm. Bar hours run later: Mon–Thu and Sun 4:30 pm–10:00 pm; Fri–Sat 4:30 pm–11:00 pm. For holiday specials or special events (NYE, prix-fixe nights) check with the restaurant or reserve in advance.

Yes, The Lexington House is a popular date-night spot with a hip yet cozy vibe, craft cocktails, and a menu built for sharing or a classic entree. Guests frequently praise the bar, creative drinks (including clarified milk punch) and the heated patio with a fire-pit for an intimate evening. It’s ideal for special occasions or a relaxed night out; for a quieter table ask for an early reservation or the patio when booking.

Busiest: Friday and Saturday evenings, holiday nights (NYE) and special-event evenings, expect a lively, sometimes loud atmosphere. Quietest: weekday early dinners (Mon–Thu) and some midweek evenings, except Tuesday which is popular for all-day happy hour. If you prefer a quieter meal, choose a weekday or early seating and mention your preference when reserving.
