We’re lucky to have so much scrumptious food in Kentucky! (It’s almost as good as our bourbon.) While we have all sorts of delicious BBQ and down-home Southern food, sometimes it’s nice to splurge a little and get a taste of fine dining. A new restaurant has opened up in Lexington that is getting rave reviews and the place and the menu look as wonderful as the food tastes. Welcome to Granddam in Kentucky.

The husband and wife team of executive chefs Karl and Paula Lowe have taken Appalachian cuisine and kicked it into the stratosphere with a menu that takes rustic comfort food and turns it into flavorful upscale culinary artisanship.

Named after a matriarchal racehorse, Granddam lets you know you’re in for a special treat as soon as you walk in the door. The beautifully appointed decor offers hints of rustic charm in a sea of modern tastefulness.

The lounge brings a sense of comfort and elegance where you can truly relax and enjoy a tableside julep or other artfully crafted cocktails, including alcohol-free Temperates that are just as tasty and creative.
