Poppy & Olive — Restaurant in Lexington

Underwhelming experience. I'm more of a good review kind of person but this was not it, if the food had not been good I would have left 1 or 2 stars. We've been traveling from Brooklyn NY with kids and with the current covid-19 situation have been very careful to only do take out or curbside pick up. I called the restaurant at 6pm and the young lady over the phone was just plain rude. I checked their website prior to calling but couldn't find any kid's menu, when asked about it she answered in a condescending tone that it was on the website and was obviously annoyed to have to review the items over the phone. When asked about unsweetened ice tea she literally blew air, the whole conversation felt as if she just wanted to get off the phone, asking me if I was done ordering at each item added, so much that I actually forgot to ask about desserts. When I called back I was greeted by the same girl and her annoyed demeanor, again telling me the dessert menu was on the website, going to great length to check the website instead of just telling me what they had available. Obviously if I had seen the dessert menu online in the first place I wouldn't be asking about it. Anyhow, my husband drove 35 minutes to pick up our 110$ order, came back an hour later and next thing you know, the side order of French fries from my daughter's sliders were missing and our 2 unsweetened ice teas were missing as well. Now the 2 orders of salmon we had were quite good but pretty undercooked, my son ate around his but I love sushi so raw salmon is not something that bothers me, I enjoyed it but I know people who would have sent their salmon back. My husband liked his watermelon salad and whipped feta and I have to say the brownie was delicious. I understand it's a rough time for everyone but we've been ordering from restaurants A LOT because we want to support businesses and at the end of the day I'm not sure I'd...

I had the pleasure of visiting poppy and olive this morning for the first time.

I was so impressed by the gorgeous atmosphere, and this restaurant is such a unique addition to Lexington’s Warehouse district.

I was meeting a friend for coffee and ended up bringing my two year old with me at the last minute. I always feel apprehensive about bringing kids to a venue I haven’t visited before, but I was pleasantly surprised that there were the perfect offerings for both me and my son.

I enjoyed the best cup of coffee, and my son picked out a Nutella pastry with milk. The staff was exceptionally pleasant and helpful, and my experience was perfect.

When my son finished his breakfast, and I still had some visiting to do with my friend, he began to curiously wander around the restaurant. I followed him worried that he might break something - but I realized there was nothing that could be broken. A staff member approached us and kindly engaged with my son, and assured me that he was welcome to explore. He then brought out a coloring page and play dough, and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. My son enjoyed playing for another half hour.

I will definitely be making poppy and olive my go-to coffee stop, and I can’t wait to go back. When I got home, I looked at their website, and was so impressed by their amazing menu. I can’t wait to go back with my family for dinner.

In my experience, family-friendly restaurants often lack quality menu choices, and restaurants that offer an impressive menu are typically not an ideal environment for children. Poppy and olive is the perfect combination of family inclusiveness with a unique menu for foodies in a beautiful environment.

I am so impressed by this establishment, and I can not...

We brought our family here for our daughter’s 8th birthday. It was our first time here and the experience was absolutely fantastic. We rarely go out to restaurants anymore because it’s so hard to take our young boys anywhere without feeling like they are disrupting others (and that was before Covid). That was not our experience here at all. We were able to actually enjoy an adult meal (and a very nice one at that) without having to worry much about having our kids with us. The food was fantastic - especially the entrees from Epping’s. The chef there is absolutely incredible and the food was cooked beautifully - I can’t say enough about how well the flavors complemented each other in the dishes we had. Our server was wonderful and super friendly/great with the kids. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this place to anyone but especially to those who enjoy great food and atmosphere. Truly a great place. Hands...
