Several Lexington restaurants are reshaping their offerings, either seasonally or permanently.
From new lunch service at one popular restaurant, to seasonal menus, to a full concept overhaul at a high profile downtown spot, here’s a look at what local diners can expect.
- Millstone, the upscale Kentucky-influenced restaurant that opened in late 2025 inside historic Dudley Square, recently added lunch service from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.
- Executive Chef and owner Tyler Murray has expanded the menu with new items, including a heirloom tomato salad ($16), smoked prime rib sandwich ($21), crispy chicken sandwich ($17) and seared salmon ($41).
- Murray said brunch is still being explored at Millstone but has no confirmed launch date, with the current focus on executing consistent Wednesday-Friday lunch service before adding another meal period.
- The V at the Vine reopened July 18 after a redesign, shifting from a steak and seafood-focused menu to a lower-priced, globally-inspired casual fine-dining concept less than a year after its September 2025 opening.
- The V’s new menu features 16 international Tasting Plates priced $12-$24, including Patatas Bravas from Spain, Shrimp Ceviche from Mexico, Butter Chicken from India and Ora King Salmon Tostada from Japan.
- General Manager Patrick Kralik has also introduced a daily happy hour, new craft cocktails, Tuesday service and a more casual dress code as part of the rebrand.
- Local restaurants across Lexington rolled out new summer menus featuring seasonal ingredients, with spots like Azur, Bella Notte, Dudley’s and Mileta highlighting fresh fruits and vegetables in appetizers, entrées and desserts.
