"A local bank in its original heyday, the 21 C Museum Hotel in Lexington recaptures the town’s vibe with its anchor restaurant. From sun up to sundown, guests can expect rotating menus featuring a network of Kentucky farmers and makers that present “simple, honest, soulful food.”Staples like the Chicken Liver Mousse, Cornmeal Gnocchi, and Woodland Farm Cast Iron Hog Chop. Sample some of the 60 plus indigenous Kentucky spirit, with either a flight of Bourbon, or perhaps an aperitif cocktail from the extensive bar program. For a private dining experience reserve the original vault for seating up to 12 in “The Safe.”" - Melissa Corbin
