The Kentucky Castle

This was such a treat. Bucket list wish. Kristen was our server as well as bartender. She has great smile! Storm in the gift shop helped me purchase crowns and surprise all the ladies by presenting them—they were impressed and raved. Tried the new drink Kristen created. Learned new chef so look for new menu. Farm to table fare and everything was excellent. I had shrimp grits and it was next level. Bummed couldn’t get fried green tomatoes from lunch menu but ok. Desserts were divine. Atmosphere was fantastic

I spent two nights at TKC as part of a group bicycling trip. I am giving the review two stars because we had a very good dinner in the hotel restaurant, and our waiter could not have been more professional and friendly. However the hotel experience is a one star review. There are three first floor rooms, 101, 102, and 103. They are adjacent to the lobby and to the kitchen. They are NOISY. The sound proofing is terrible and you can hear voices from the lobby, and worse, you can hear all of the kitchen noise. I heard the kitchen workers talking, whistling, singing and clanging pots and pans until 11pm at night, and it all started up again at 6:30 am. I went out twice and asked the front desk to ask them to be quiet at night, but nothing changed. I slept horribly and was very tired both days that we were there. I asked for a different room but was told that because there are only 18 rooms, they were full and could not move me. ||Additionally, the room was not clean. The bathroom had a dirty band aid on the floor (see photo) and the bathtub grout was moldy. There was a large insect in my bathtub and small fruit flies in the sink.||During the day I ran back to the room to get a jacket and the housekeeper was there and said she was finished. The bed was not made and I asked if she was going to make it. She told me that the hotel policy is that they do not make beds if the guest has left any clothing on the bed. I had left the hotel bathrobe and my pajamas on the bed, which apparently deemed it unmakable. I removed them and she then made the bed.||There was one very tiny window that looks out onto the parking lot. A car parked in front of the window and my view was of that car's windshield. Headlights shine into the room at night.||The breakfast experience at the restaurant was not good. On our second day. our very nice waitress informed us (at 7:30 am) that there was no milk or cream in the kitchen and that someone was going to run to the store to buy some. So we waited 20 minutes for cream for the coffee. I went back to the room to get the little creamers in the room which then prompted the restaurant to find a large box of those for us to use. Additionally, breakfast was very slow and generally took about 30 minutes for food to arrive at the table. They were clearly overwhelmed by having 20 people at once, which should not have been a surprise to them since they frequently house cyclists during the week.||Many in our group had issues with significant leaks in the roof during a hard rain storm. One woman slipped on water on her floor, and another had water leak into her open suitcase. Another guest's air conditioner made a noise like a jet engine, which was not fixed during the stay.||Unfortunately despite the image of an upscale hotel experience, the reality is anything but that.

I was invited to have lunch there for my birthday. Tristan was an amazing waiter. I enjoyed the fried grits appetizer and the salad. The crab cakes and butternut bisque not so much. We had to send back the avocado toast because it was burnt and bland. The Castle had just started the Autumn menu so I will give them grace. My favorite part was touring the grounds and petting the goats! The Castle is a vibe and I recommend going if you have about 2-3 hrs to do it!

We stayed here on our wedding night! Our room was fantastic and the service was excellent. We had ordered champagne and tiara and they were in our room when we arrived. The meal at the castle farm was excellent.|| And the young man that waited on us was very professional yet very friendly. Ruby at the front desk was very organized and knowledgeable. Overall I would recommend the ||Kentucky Castle to anyone that wanted an extra special evening.

Visiting the Kentucky Castle was an unforgettable experience! The history of this castle is a captivating tale of romance turned heartbreak, but what has emerged from it is truly extraordinary. It’s not just a hotel; it’s a luxurious spa, a stunning venue, and a beautiful restaurant with staff that go above and beyond. Our server, Emily, was simply exceptional—her heart for the guests and her approach to every individual was nothing short of royal. She made our dining experience even more special! I dined at the restaurant, and the food was simply to die forI can’t remember the last time I practically licked my plate clean! Cheers to the incredible chef for crafting such delicious dishes. The ambiance was magical, making every bite even more enjoyable. I also made a stop at the gift shop, where I couldn’t resist purchasing a tiara. After all, when you’re in a castle, you have to treat yourself like royalty! A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for their warm hospitality and for turning this once-empty palace into a vibrant destination. I can’t wait to return!

Having stayed here a few times in the past with excellent experiences, this stay was disappointing. In fairness, issues we did encounter were resolved quickly by the front desk staff. A dreadful sewer odor greeted us in the room, the room was not serviced as it should have been on Sunday morning plus other relatively minor issues. The bar has a fabulous atmosphere though feels understaffed so service can be slow. Unfortunately I can't give the glowing review that we would have done in the past.

We have stayed at The Kentucky Castle on numerous occasions, and every visit continues to feel like stepping into a fairytale. This historic property has a charm that never fades, and each time we return, we make it a point to stay in one of the towers. The tower experience is unlike anything else multi-level, full of character, and steeped in history. If you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend it, though guests should be prepared in the winter months because the stone walls and authentic design can make it quite cold inside. That is part of the magic of staying in a real castle, though, and it only adds to the authenticity. The food here is exceptional. The property follows a farm-to-table approach, and you can taste the freshness and care in every dish. Dining at the castle feels as elevated as the setting itself, and the service is just as impressive. One highlight for me was sampling their collection of bourbons. I was lucky enough to try the legendary Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Bourbon, which is an experience in itself. A pour of this can easily cost $80 or more depending on where you find it, but here it is part of a truly world-class bourbon selection that reflects Kentucky’s proud heritage. The history of this place is fascinating. Originally built in 1969 by Rex and Caroline Martin, the castle has gone through decades of changes, including renovations and even a fire, before becoming the luxury destination it is today. Most recently, it was purchased by TKC Hospitality Group, and their stewardship has kept its magic alive while opening it up for weddings, corporate events, and special gatherings. Walking through the castle, you can feel the blend of old-world character and modern touches. It is also an incredibly popular wedding venue, with packages that include everything from ballroom and greenhouse spaces to stunning rooftop ceremonies. It is no surprise that it is considered one of the premier wedding locations in Kentucky, hosting receptions of up to 220 guests with ease and elegance. The castle is easy to reach, sitting just off Pisgah Pike in Versailles, a short drive from Lexington, Blue Grass Airport, and the famed Keeneland Race Course. Parking on site is free and convenient, which makes the arrival experience simple. Around the holidays, the castle becomes even more magical, with seasonal markets, special dinners, and themed events like murder mystery evenings. The property itself is surrounded by Kentucky horse country, with nearby farms, scenic drives, and bourbon distilleries that give you the full experience of the region. Each stay here has been a reminder of why we love it so much. Between the unique tower rooms, the outstanding food, the warmth of the staff, and the unbeatable atmosphere, The Kentucky Castle is more than just a place to stay it is a destination that transports you. Whether you are visiting for dinner, drinks, a wedding, or simply for the experience of staying overnight in a castle, it is unforgettable. For anyone considering it, don’t hesitate. This is a Kentucky treasure that only gets better with time.

We tried the spa for the 1st time for my daughter’s 21st bday. Susan was amazing for my daughter’s massage/mud detox. She was gentle and explained each detail to ensure she was comfortable. Olivia did my facial and it was the best facial I’ve ever had. She thanked me at the end for telling her my preferences and not just accepting what I did not like. She was amazing! Had a massage with Owen and it seems he did not understand how to treat a lady kindly in a massage. Nor did he know the difference between a rough massage or a deep tissue massage. Only four stars due to my experience with Owen.

Beautiful!! The grounds were amazing ! Just walked around, but we will definitely go back next time for lunch!! Menu looks great.

This place is beautiful. The property is gorgeous as well as the hotel itself. We spent a weekend here as a girl's trip. The pool was a highlight and walks around the property as well. We were only able to have breakfast on the property one morning because we didn't realize that the restaurant was extremely popular. While we did not mind that this was the case at dinner, it was a bit odd to not have some type of priority for guests in the morning. On our last morning they were able to squeeze us in before 9am, and by the time we left to check out all of the tables in the room (4-5) were still empty, which I understand they didn't want to seat us and then have reservations come in but it appeared that they had more than enough time to accommodate us. They also did not have an exercise room, I find this to be a big con when the price of a room for the night is so high. They mentioned goat yoga when I went down in the morning to ask, but it had already started and this was never mentioned at check in or I think a few of us would have loved to join in. I will also add that the noise in the morning can be quite loud due to high ceilings and lots of stone. I am an early riser, but a couple girls were annoyed that it was hard to sleep in past a certain time. It is also very bright in the room in the morning, but the most puzzling part, are the blind pulls are so short compared to the very tall windows we were almost unable to close them and then decided to not open them again due to the inconvenience. I will also mention that the mirror in the bathroom was not short person friendly (under 5'4") and the vanity was such a pain since that felt oversized as well. Overall, a wonderful stay, but for the price I usually expect more attention to detail and better guest experience.

We had reservations for brunch in the bar area before a rainy day at Keeneland. We started off with their Bloody Mary and the Fried Grits. The Bloody is always good. The grits and the pepper jelly were something new to us and they were delicious. I had the Hogtown Biscuit which is huge. A monster biscuit covered with gravy, country ham, fried chicken, and sunny side egg, with a side of home fries. My wife had the Open-Faced Omelet, minus the spinach salad. Both of these main courses were enough for two people. The food and service were fantastic.

Incredible food, incredible ambiance, Michelin worthy service. We stayed in one of the tower rooms for our fifteenth anniversary and loved it! Special shoutout to Samuel for above and beyond amazing service. He turned a great experience into a magical one.

Cool tourist destination and lovely atmosphere. The food was just ok. The service was exceptional. We are glad we stopped by to check it out, but honestly had higher hopes for the brunch.

Because of rain, our party moved from the roof to a large room. They had a cash bar and catered food. Everything was great. It's a new castle with beautiful architecture and grounds. You can stay in a turret. (It is a hotel and restaurant. No Medieval Times vibes.)

The space is very beautiful! Definitely a place I knew I had to check out the first time I drove by it. We were so excited to celebrate our anniversary here, but we were woefully underwhelmed. The best part of the meal was the bread, the rest was just mediocre. Definitely nothing to ride home about. Then came the check, which felt like robbery based on the level of food we had. The only reason they get 2 stars is based on the venue, otherwise it would be 1 star.

Beautiful location with a magical atmosphere! I visited the Kentucky Castle for an event attended by acquaintances from all over the country. Everyone, by all accounts, thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The experience is definitely my highlight of the summer. The decor and aesthetics were impeccable. The food was great. And the views from the roof were peaceful. The staff was amazing; very friendly, accommodating, and fun! I plan to return for a more personal stay and a tour.

Absolutely perfect! The Kentucky Castle is beautiful and the details have not been ignored. If you ever have a chance to visit it will be a memorable time in your life. The gardens are also lovely.

I have driven by the castle hundreds of times, and I finally got around to trying the menu for dinner. Here are my thoughts: Underwhelming ~ the Deviled Eggs, Shrimp Fritters, TKC Fried Chicken, and Banana Pudding. With all of these, just not a lot of flavor. And the prices here are too high to not be blown away. Outstanding ~ the grounds and interior are beautiful, the service is incredible, the Kentucky Mule was awesome, the bourbon pecan butter that comes with Toby's Fresh Bread Service was next level, and the Wagyu Ribeye was maybe the best steak I've ever had. It melts in your mouth. So, you've got hit or miss here. If you make the right choices, you're going to be amazed. The food and the ambiance will get you there. But if you pick a miss, you're going to be sorely disappointed. I'd love to give it five stars. It earns it in certain areas. They just need to shore up a few menu items and they'll be there.

My Garden Club booked a tour with lunch which cost $60 per person. The "tour" was mostly "Hurry up - Stay together", "There's the garden - go look at it later if you want to". The luncheon was terrible - all starch (sandwiches, potato salad, Mac & cheese, dessert bars (no green salad or anything fresh from the garden!) and not very tasty. The whole experience was VERY disappointing!! Totally not worth the money or the drive from Louisville.

They call it farm to table. It was fried chicken mashed potatoes and 3 carrots. 39.99 each disgusting.

My wife and I planned a last minute anniversary trip to Lexington. Since it was last minute and UK had home games going on, nicer dinner reservations were sparse. She asked if I wanted to eat at a castle and I said sure... A very unique setting with a hotel on the second floor and a restaurant with several different dinner areas on the 1st floor. Regardless, service was attentive, but not stuffy. I ordered an old fashioned and the server wanted to know what bourbon to use. I told her whatever the bartender thinks is best. The bartender actually brought our cocktails to us and explained his creations, which I thought was a fun touch. I don't know who "Toby" is, but do your self a favor and order Toby's fresh bread service for a starter...the pumpkin spice butter was awesome I had the pan-seared salmon and my wife ordered the filet. Expertly prepared, well seasoned and fresh tasting! But our overall favorite was the S'mores dessert! Oh my... chocolate ganache with graham cracker ice cream which was covered by a homemade marshmallow meringue. #heavenly

Beautiful grounds and property!! We stopped in for dinner after touring some distilleries and it was the perfect end to the day! We started with the bread which they make in house every day and homemade butter. 10/10!! For dinners I got the gnocchi and my husband got the red snapper. Gnocchi was delicious and such a smart mix of flavors and textures, very fresh! The red snapper kind of missed the mark in our opinion. Service was great and very attentive!

The only reason why I'm giving this place a three star is because my 12 yr old loved his chicken and waffle. I ordered the strawberry French toast and it was cold and soggy. My husband ordered the Henderson breakfast and it was just "ok". I recommend coming for the experience to see the castle, take pics, look at the farm animals, and visit a bourbon distillery.

This was a special celebration of our granddaughter's 12th birthday. We enjoyed a pleasant breakfast in grand surroundings and then explored the Castle grounds afterwards. Our granddaughter very much enjoyed spending time at the Kentucky Castle.

Four stars for ambiance and gorgeous surroundings. This is such a cool place in Kentucky! Who knew a European style stone castle existed near horse farms and bluegrass? I really enjoyed strolling through the grounds and I bet it beautiful anytime of year. We also ate brunch in the restaurant and I give that three stars. The food was good, not exceptional so really it's more about the ambiance than anything else. Our waiter was attentive but the food service was a bit slow. We ordered the blueberry cornbread for the table and had to ask where it was. The portion size for that was also pretty small. My waffles were good and i enjoyed the macadamia nuts and white chocolate on them. The bacon was pretty salty though. I would say, visit to explore it once, but it wouldn't be a regular place for me if I lived in Lexington.

The food was great. Service was super helpful and courteous. The ambience was spectacular. Wonderful experience and will surely visit again.

The Kentucky castle. Aydin and Nicole were amazing! Aydin gave us some tips on where to visit. This castle, even though they say Medieval it's pretty dang fun. I love the decorations. You can actually have a fence here would be fun to get married. They also have rooms, spa, and a Restaurant. I WOULD RECOMMEND

Our group of 8 stayed overnight as part of our Bourbon trail weekend. We encountered a number of issues during our 2 day stay, but after contacting management, they worked with us to make it right. Keep your expectations appropriate and understand that you're paying for a unique experience, not the Ritz Carlton.

We stayed at one of the small houses at Kentucky Castle. Our 2 year old was in love seeing all the animals outside our place. There were chicken, goats, sheep, donkey, horses, dogs. The hotel was a short walk away and just gorgeous grounds. We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant and overall a great stay!

Hotel was very clean, and beautiful. Everything in the hotel echoes so when the morning staff has their meetings in the morning or social hour. They wake you up every morning at 6:30-7 AM laughing and talking. After speaking with employees and Manager, they all have heard on how much the hotel echoes into every room, but they have not been trained to use softer voices, or have had the courtesy to have their conversations inside the kitchen or somewhere else. Going on vacation without our kids means we would like to sleep at least until 8 AM. Other than that food was good. If you're looking for a place to rest and enjoy the night find a different location.

Celebrated our anniversary with brunch at the restaurant. Overall we had a good experience but the service and food were slow. Like 10 minutes before we could order drinks then another 15 before our drinks came out (I got the apple cranberry mule which is a mocktail and my boyfriend got coffee). Ordering food was another 15 minutes then the food took about 25 minutes. The floor under our table was filthy, but the hostess did come and sweep it up after we were sat. I ordered the fried chicken biscuit and it was actually good. A tad bit salty because of the ham and I was surprised the arugula side was not dressed. But overall things tasted good, just took a while and had a bit more salt than I would prefer. You definitely need a reservation though. I heard a group of 4 get turned away without one.

A beautiful place to visit and hear the history of the castle. Everyone was extremely friendly. Would visit again!

Popped in for an after dinner cocktail. Emily made me her specialty drink, The "Chai-ning Sour". Delicious and unique cocktail, great atmosphere, excellent service. Met a great group of brothers who were celebrating a Big birthday with one of the siblings. Nice end to a Friday night in Woodford County, KY.

Staff..... friendly Food..... mediocre Price..... egregious We made reservations at the Castle Farm restaurant for our anniversary dinner and honestly, we weren't all that impressed. It was cool to see the property, but we could've had a way better meal in downtown Lexington for the amount we spent. This was unfortunate because Kentucky Castle had been on my bucket list for years.

Came here today for the 10:30 a.m. tour and had Corban as our tour guide. My mom and I paid for the castle and the farm tour, which was $40 per person. There were another two people in our group who came from Indiana, while my mom and I are from Texas (plenty of people visit this castle from all over the U.S.). The small group made paying attention to the tour easier and had plenty of time to take pictures around the castle and the farm. There was so much history from this castle, from its inception, the time it was forgotten, and the changing of owners to its current owners. If there were no change in ownership of this castle, we--not part of the 1% riches of the richest would not be able to step into this property. But since 2017, eating here in their restaurant has been possible, grabbing a drink in their cocktail bar, checking out the farm, buying produce directly from them, and even booking a hotel room or renting our farmhouse, the cabins, or the two tiny homes. I highly recommend seeing this castle as it is unique in Kentucky and has an exciting history to listen to and experience while you have yourself as a guest here. When you take a chance here, I hope you have a great time as I did.

Great front desk staff and service. Dinner they were very accommodating to my daughter and her friends for her birthday.

We stopped in on a whim as our Airbnb canceled last minute. Very pricey for accommodations. We got a bottom floor standard room. It did come with a nespresso machine which was nice but the room felt very lack luster otherwise. Our stay was during January so the farm section was closed down but I imagine it is very cute in the spring and summer. The highlight of this place is definitely the food. We only had breakfast there but it was amazing. Would we stay again? No. But we would stop in for a cute meal if we were in the area.

excellent food, service, and ambience! All of the staff was very polite and helpful to accommodate our large party

This is such a unique place to dine. I enjoyed brunch with friends here recently. The Castle was beautifully decorated for Christmas. My meal (Fried Chicken Biscuit) was absolutely delicious. The only negative was that we waited a really long time for our food.

The dining room and the tavern at TKC are always an elegant experience. The menu is consistently good and entrees are generously portioned. The ambiance is sophisticated but comfortable.

Dining experience was elegant. Food was excellent. (Chicken and waffle as well as the hamburger. ). The Kentucky breakfast cocktail was refreshing and tasty. Service was great. The grounds were interesting to walk. There were goats, donkeys, sheep to see . The building interior- was decorated for the holidays.

We spent $75 for four appetizers which were of average quality. The room where we ate was dark and dingy.

4/10/23 Met up with another couple for lunch and a tour of the castle. It's really such an impressive structure currently functioning as a hotel. It has a lot of acreage, some is used for a small farm with a few animals (chickens, goats, sheep), bee hives. A program with a local high school allow students with good grades and an interest in agriculture to assist with those areas. The goats are also incorporated into goat yoga sessions. When our guests arrived we walked in for our 11:30am reservation. The hostess must have been having a bad day. She never smiled or welcomed us. Checked our reservation and said it'd be another minute before our table would be ready. I wasn't going to let her perfunctory manner diminish a rare opportunity to dine with a couple we seldom get to see, let alone in such a stunning location. In just a couple of moments we were escorted to a small dining area, perhaps a bit too simply decorated. The menu was enticing from top to bottom. Our server was pleasant and smiled but not particularly friendly or engaging. By this point I was wondering if the staff were expected to seem distant, more like servants than creating a "welcome to good friends" atmosphere. I don't want to be treated as a burden so I can't give a 5 star review despite truly lovely looking and delicious meals. Our tour followed at 1pm and the tour guide was just thankfully bubbly and engaging! She seemed to be having fun herself and we had quite a lively and conversational experience. The Castle has quite a back story and she was obviously excited to be sharing it with us. Even if you can't stay the night (or more), or dine (the food was fabulous) consider getting reserving a tour, and if possible have a drink in the bar. It was a bit too early for us with a drive to return to our respective locations but I would have loved it. I would have wanted to try their own bourbon and/or their own wine. If you are looking for a venue for a special event, it's a truly lovely place.

My wife and I attending the Salsa Under the Stars and enjoyed every bit of it. The appetizers were coming around regularly. The turtle cheesecake dessert cup was my favorite. We drank sangria and danced all evening. Magical!

Disclaimer: I've travelled a lot to many real castles and nice hotels. This was also explored during the winter. Overall, you can probably have a much better stay in other cities, and a much better castle themed adventure in other places, but if you can only go local, it's quite a nice little luxury place to go. 4 stars if you can't travel other places :) This is a really nice hotel with a medieval castle look and a Victorian style interior. They have lovely little rooms, a nice restaurant, a nice bar, and it's a truly lovely location. The tour guides are great and the staff is lovely. Based on its location and what is available in the area, I'd qualify this as a very high quality establishment. It's not medieval or fairy tale at all, but if you're looking for basically a nice hotel it'll do. That being said, this place is quite pricey for what you get. If you're a fan of medieval castles, too, it's a big disappointment. Interior Style: 3 stars - The interior is not medieval at all. It's nice and decorative with Victorian style influence but the color scheme is rather all over the place. The dining areas and event room remind me of Martha Stewart since they're largely all white with gold and brown accents. Not the most interesting of places. Interior rooms have cracks in the paint which the tours say are on purpose to make it look "old..." not a fan. It just looks shabby. Price: Ridiculously priced for the value. I can go to Nashville city to the Leows hotel for $300 for a basic room with far more comfort, more to look at outside my room, and more personality than what I can get here. Sure, some rooms are below $200, but especially in winter there's very little to do and if the interior is meh it makes it all the more so

The castle was very clean and nice. They had great service. We went to the Murder Mystery and had alot of fun. We also went to the spa. We will go back.

An excellent choice for dining and staying overnight for special occasions. I enjoy the food and the ambiance of the Castle itself, as well as the farm land surrounding the area. Truly a magical experience every time. Will be back again.

The food you get from a diner would taste 10 times better than the what they are serving plus the for the food they served was not worth the outrageous prices they were charging. Half my food was burnt the other half hardly was cooked. The Head Chef would lie straight to you when have the proof right in front of him on the table. This place is not worth the time or the money.

My family and I toured this lovely castle on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. A 20k square ft castle! Yep!! Before becoming a boutique hotel, this was the actual home of Rex and Carolyn Martin. Unfortunately, the couple divorced and the castle was abandoned for 35 years. So as you can tell there's a-lot of history surrounding The Kentucky Castle. Tom Post eventually purchased the home / castle for 1.8 million dollars. Today this venue hosts weddings , brunches , teas etc and most notably is a boutique hotel. I think with about 15 rooms. I only posted a few pics but as you can see, this castle/ hotel is definitely worth visiting or even staying at. Be prepared to pay a nice amount for a night but I'm sure it's well worth it. There's a restaurant and a bar that has some of the finest bottles of bourbon. I was told .... didn't have any bourbon samples on the tour. DARN! Our tour guide , Matt did a great job and we learned a lot in a short amount of time. Although I do think $30 a ticket was a bit pricey but the experience is certainly unforgettable! We really enjoyed it and plan to visit again in the future. You should too!

The castle was beautiful, the light fixtures were exquisite with multiple crystals. The garden was amazing and nice to experience a nice walk after breakfast. The food experience was pretty good. The bacon was delicious and the syrups were wonderful. The eggs tasted farm fresh. Overall the food was tasty.

Great service! Food was good, but limited options. Beautiful location. Overall nice spot!

Beautiful place to have brunch! Food was good! Service was great! Prices are reasonable. Worth a repeat visit.

We drove by the castle and thought holy cow that is cool. Looked it up and find out that they are a hotel, restaurant and spa. We decided to go to the restaurant and eat and made reservations. We only saw one small section of the castle which was just breathtaking, with gold hallways and chandeliers and beautiful old paintings on the wall. We were seated right away and the server came quickly and took her drink orders. We both ordered the fillet with au gratin potatoes. Food service service started with a bread basket with some herb butter and the bread was really good, warm crispy  and the butter was very flavorful. However, I ordered my filet medium and it came well done. My husband's filet was medium rare and it was cooked properly. The au gratin potatoes were really a unique take with chunks of potatoes and cheese, they were really good. A lady came by to check my check orders and I mentioned my fillet and extremely generously she took my entire meal off the bill and then even offered dessert too.  We had the bourbon crème brûlée for dessert and it was just to die for. The filets, even being overcooked, were both really flavorful. The seasoning was very good. Both our server and the host who came by to check on us were extremely hospitable and generous offering to rectify the situation with the filet and were super friendly.

We have attended several events for children and adults. It has always been wonderful. The food, staff, and ambiance are always perfect.

The Kentucky Castle provides a cool and unique experience. I have been impressed with everything that they have available here. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating to make sure that you have everything that you need and much more. Well worth a visit.

I took my daughter to the Kentucky Castle for an event with Ariel and brunch and tea. It was outstanding!! The room they had it in was so elegant. The tables were decorated perfectly, service was PERFECT, food was beautiful and delicious and Ariel was better then Disney! It was a truly magical experience for my daughter and I. I would do this event again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend attending one.

It's worth a visit if in the area. A couple of girlfriends and I took a castle tour. It is very beautiful inside and out. The tour was reasonably priced. There is a bar, giftshop, and a dining area. We did not drink or eat while visiting, so I can't say anything about that. The price to stay is very expensive and over all the castle itself is overrated.
