So we were in the area of Lexington and were on the hunt for good places to eat. This place interest me based on raving reviews. Even though theres no menu on the website, we were excited to give it a try anyway & reserved online. We were debating between the French resto or this, but since their voicemail was full & we couldn't get a hold of anybody to cancel so we went ahead. BTW this place only requires reservations and needs a credit card to do so, otherwise a no show is $30 charge. Seating is limited, I'd say max of 15 people at a time. It was difficult to find this at night as this was at the back of a bar. We drove around the area and found the sign luckily. They don't serve alcohol but they are associated with the bar on the front so you can get your drinks there. The menu was very limited, it probably changes periodically bec I don't see the same food posted by other yelpers. The chef prepares as you order. We tried the rangoons, brussel sprouts, and mushroom campanelle. The dishes were just okay, we were not wowed. The campanelle (pasta) was creamy but lacks flavor and could use some salt. They're okay portions and can be shared (that's what we did) since there's not too many food options.

I almost don't want to write a review for this place because if everyone else finds it, there won't be space for me! This is a very small place with limited seating (call/reserve ahead) but the food is new, local, unique and SUPERB. Really, an enthusiast's dream. Get your drinks going in the back door of Arcadia after you place your order. Don't go here because it is maybe the best food in town and there isn't much seating and I need space at the bar! Don't take my seat!

This place is tiny but the food was fantastic! We stopped by on a Saturday evening (around 5:30ish) after a recommendation from a coworker. They were only taking reservations at that point but they offered to bring us food if we sat in the bar (Arcadium) which was super nice of them. The actual restaurant itself had about 6 counter seats and a larger table that sat maybe 6-8, so definitely plan ahead if you want a reservation. We tried the empanadas (black bean), chicky wings, and stoofvlees. The empanadas were cooked well but we wanted a bit more flavor from them; the chili sauce they came with was spicy and delicious though. The Chicky wings were SO GOOD! Perfectly crispy and had great flavor. The real star was the stoofvlees, which was reminiscent of a poutine without the cheese curds. It was amazing, the meat melted in your mouth, the fries were crispy, and it was a perfect meal for a cold night. We were both full after everything and the portions were pretty generous so you could definitely split a few things. I think the menu changes so I can't wait to try something else next time.

My FAVOR-ite place to eat in all of Lex! Wyatt's food is nothing shy of fantastic. Everything I've tried is always delicious and makes me want to come back for more. If you're going there for the first time, the burger and fries are a must! You won't regret it!

One of the most unique dining experiences in town! Small kitchen with one chef and one server. Definitely not a good place for big groups but it's an adorable place for a small date night or double date. Their burger was phenomenal, and their beet dip and watermelon salad were so fresh and light. You could tell everything was made from scratch

THE gem of Lexington! Heard of Favor through word of mouth and blew expectations. Try every dish while you can since the menu rotates based on the passionate chef who you see perform on his stage (the kitchen) as you eat. The most perfect spot.

Favor never disappoints. Small. Intimate. Delicious. Highly recommend the Compressed Melon and Sweet Corn Pasta. Luckily I was able to get the Mexican Hot Chocolate Ice Cream before the new menu change! Always a fantastic variety that is seasonally curated.

Everything was delicious! Everything! The restaurant is quaint and situated behind Arcadium. The staff was friendly and helped to explain the menu with enthusiasm. The menu is small but packed with flavor and provides something for everyone. We tried everything on the menu. The burger was so good but the fries were even better and came with curry ketchup. We also had the lions mane mushroom, which was probably my favorite thing! Taste like a crab cake. The menu changes often so I will definitely being going back to try more options.

Best kept secret in Lexington with a rotating menu fresh from the farm. The burger and fries are excellent, but in multiple visits the entrees, empanadas and side dishes never disappoint. Great place for a secret 'private dinner' in their indoor alcove (reservations recruited) or eat outside while enjoying a drink from Arcadium!

First time eating at Favor. Owner/Chef Wyatt was awesome. Great attention to detail, spent time talking to us about his restaurant and how the menu comes together each week. Food was spectacular and the atmosphere even better. This is a must if you're visiting Lex or live here. We WILL be back. Thanks for the great experience!
