Reviews
Fabulous. Fantastic service and very good food. Totally love the atmosphere too. Superb bourbon selection at the bar less so for other liquors if you're looking for anything else, unfortunately. I'll also add that the apparent dress code is not enforced: there were people in jeans and t-shirts there so we ended up feeling a little over-dressed. But hey. We had a really nice experience. Looking forward to coming back. Features: Hand sanitizer at the door. No mask policy.
This restaurant is just beautiful inside and out. From the valet parking to desert the whole experience was nothing but first class. The bacon wrapped shrimp and gritts with bbq sauce was an amazing start. The lamb was to die for and the zucchini caserole was simply smashing. My wife got the hot brown and loved it with the corn pudding; top notch. We ended our food extravaganza with dark chocolate Creme Brule. The atmosphere is old world and the place is like stepping back to a perfectly preserved 1940's venue. We just loved it and will be back for sue. 5 star!!
On a recent outing with friends, Fat Man Reviews made a trip into the Merrick Inn Restaurant, in Lexington, KY. Merrick serves southern fare with fresh ingredients in a comfortable manor house with a large patio. I sampled the Pineapple Martini made with house made pineapple infused vodka and vermouth. The pineapple is present from smell to finish, it was creamy, frothy but not overly sweet. It was excellent. Our group ordered the Fried Banana Peppers with house made cocktail sauce. The peppers are thick cut, breaded and fried to a golden brown and not greasy. The cocktail sauce is ketchup forward with a nice horseradish finish. The only knock is they are hard to cut with a butter knife. We also tried Trick's Beer Cheese, this is made with Wisconsin cheddar, smoked jalapeños and Country Boy brew served with crackers and pretzels. The beer cheese is very thick, but it is creamy. It has enjoyable heat and a smoky flavor. My fiancé ordered the Walleye Pike with fries and asparagus. The fries were out of a bag, cooked well but needed salt. The asparagus was steamed well but required seasoning. The walleye was flaky and had good flavor but was a little soggy and not crispy. The house made tarter sauce was very creamy and flavorful. I had the Angus Rib-eyerare with Mediterranean potatoes and corn pudding. The pudding was well-balanced with a pleasant buttery sweetness. The potatoes were au gratin style, cheesy and creamy. They were made with feta cheese, onions, red peppers, heavy cream and seasoning. The steak was cooked perfectly, seasoned well and fork tender. It was almost too tender as it melted like butter. Merrick has several starters, entrées, salads as well as weekly specials. The service is friendly. I highly recommend a reservation. The Fat Man says that Merrick Inn Restaurant is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.
Decided to last minute get a reservation at Merrick Inn for my wife and I. It has been many years since I have gone and my wife has never been. The layout in this place is still just fantastic. All the different rooms really allow even a busy night manageable and still feel like you can have an intimate meal together. Now you get to the food! My wife ordered the Italian Pasta dish with Chicken and a salad, I ordered the Colorado Lamb Chops with a baked potato and Broccoli with hollandaise. Pictured Portions are a healthy size and although this isn't the cheapest restaurant I feel it is absolutely worth the occasional splurge for a Fantastic meal. My meal was cooked perfectly. I did end up chasing the meal with a slice of Mixed Berry Pie a la mode and truly enjoyed every bite. The service was also excellent. Our server was very attentive and made some wonderful suggestions when asked. Thank you
Was our second time dining at Merrick. We were traveling and spent night in Lexington just to have dinner there. Merrick is fabulous. It's a romantic atmosphere with the most wonderful staff. We both has the bacon wrapped filet which were perfect. We will be going back again and again.
Merrick Inn is still my favorite "nice" restaurant in the Lexington area. We went here 5 years ago and just returned this May and had great meal, stuff drinks and excellent service. Didn't see the patio last time we visited Nov - too cold but it is a beautiful area. Want a beautiful, relaxing meal? Try Merrick - I had the fillet, wife had salmon - both were excellent! Merrick Inn is a very nice, romantic restaurant. I always feel like I'm stepping into a Gatsby house when I walk in. We used this as our "final night" treat before going home ... the outdoor patio is really nice though we ate inside. The managers talked to us a little after we ate and we were looking around the rest of the establishment - very nice guys, cared about their work and making it successful! Highly recommend anything from their menu.
Wonderful service and absolutely amazing food. I thought I knew what good bread pudding was I am forever spoiled by the bread pudding that was served here. The pork loin and the beer cheese were also delicious!
Beautiful restaurant. Wonderful service. Excellent food. I do believe the lobster, crab, and shrimp nachos are the best appetizer I've ever had. The steak was delicious as good as or better than a master griller will make at home. Highly recommend for a special occasion. Prices are not unreasonable given the quality of food, service and even quantity.
Loved this place! If you’re looking for some good southern food in a classic Kentucky restaurant look no further. The host was friendly and so was the waitress. Packed for a Monday evening and we loved the ambience. Bring cash to tip the valet. It’s complimentary but parking is limited so you’ll want to use them!
The food was good and service was excellent. It was a wonderful experience overall. My only complaint is that we came to celebrate my parents birthdays spent over $470 on the bill before tip and there was no complimentary dessert. They wrote happy birthday in chocolate syrup and had candles in whipped cream. Really--is that the best you can do?!
