The Atomic Cafe is a little bit of the islands in the city. Young and old alike are fascinated by the murals on the walls! Lively patio scene when weather permits. Part of the historic downtown restaurant district.
You'll love the atmosphere at The Atomic Cafe, with its bright tropical colors, loud, pulsing Caribbean music, and beautifully-designed sports murals. The meals are also a wonder to...

I know this is a Lexington institution, but we had a horrible experience here. Our server was extremely rude, our coconut shrimp was burnt and the shrimp was chewy and rough. The chicken pot pie seemed like a Stouffer's pie (too salty, and not enough crust). Pork tenderloin skewers were under-seasoned, and our black beans and asparagus were overcooked. The couscous was runny and our salads were...

Start with the latter. This is the worst name they could have picked. It's not a coffee shop, it's a Caribbean themed menu. Pick up with the food. Good value for what it is, not the best food but OK for the price point. Lots of Caribbean themed stuff, beans and rice, etc. And some good fish. The middle. The...

Lived in the Caribbean for several years. I found the description of the menu items to be authentic. Goat Cheese Salad was fresh and ginger dressing was excellent. It was a pretty night, and we were comfortable on the patio. Will go back to try more. I recommend they expand their list of Caribbean beers. Servers were attentive and pleasant.

While visiting Lexington this trip, I stopped in with a friend for a drink. As Summer winds down, and we enter college football season and Keeneland, the bands on the deck fade away; however, it was still bustling with folks enjoying the deck.
I did not eat at the restaurant on this visit but the focus of the restaurant is...

Tropical flair colors this lively restaurant, which sports bright interior murals and rhythmic Caribbean music. The cuisine follows suit, from crisp sweet potato chips to zesty jerk chicken, tropically-flavored fresh fish, conch fritters, steaks, and Cuban pork. After you've indulged, move out to the spacious, brick-paved patio, which sports its own large bar. Woven armchairs and sheltered...
