Ace Eats Out

What Lexington Eats, August 2021

Epic tacos and southern Italian make a home in downtown Lexington while Ramsey’s announces its plans to have a restaurant in every suburb. Dubbed as “a Lexington institution,” we surely could use a Ramsey’s in every neighborhood.

A delighted crowd turned out for Ace’s 2021 Lexington Restaurant Week preview celebration, co-hosted by Chef Ouita Michel in the Atrium of the old Courthouse at Cheapside Square. Guests dined on tasty creations by Lee Initiative chefs and Chef Ouita, along with Maker’s Mark signature cocktails.
