What To Do
heirlo om The truth is that there are so many dining options in Lexington you really don’t have a reason to leave the city limits. However, you may want to make an occasional (or possibly frequent) exception for Heirloom Restaurant in Midway. It certainly helps when executive chef Mark Wombles can put so many elements on the plate and have them all come together in culinary harmony. Take the restaurant’s halibut, which is sautéed with artichoke hearts, fava beans, black and green olives confetti, served with mussel sauce, tomato fondue and crispy fried mussels. Chef Wombles says the dish is new to the Heirloom menu and has received some great feedback. Make sure you try it with the La Codalora Pinot Grigio, 2010. This Italian white has a bit more substance to it, with rich minerality and floral notes that will stand up to the halibut. Lunch Tues – Sat: 11:30a to 2p | Wine Tastings and Bar Menu Tues – Sat: 3p to 5p Dinner Tues – Sat: 5:30p to close | $7 to $33

malone’s Steak lovers that come to any of the Malone’s restaurants in the Lexington area are faced with one difficult yet extremely amazing dilemma: Which cut of USDA prime beef am I going to sink my teeth into? If you’d like a bit of direction, Malone’s culinary director, Alan Lamoureux, has a suggestion. One of the restaurant’s most popular steaks is the 16 oz. prime ribeye, which has incredible marbling that results in one tender and flavorful hunk of beef, especially when it’s seasoned and carefully broiled with infrared heat to give it that perfect crust. You can pick any of Malone’s side dishes to make this meal perfect for you, but make sure you try a glass of the Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, California. It has a robust body and tannins with notes of berries and chocolate to hold up to the rich and buttery cut.
