"Waiter was rude from the every beginning . We had a 945 reservation . We showed up at 945. We weâre seated and I stayed at the table while the rest of my party went to wash their hands . The waiter came to the table and told me the kitchen was closing and I should order our food and drinks for the people washing their hands . I was appalled . I said I would like to wait for them to wash their hands and look at the menu and the waiter gave me a huge attitude . Then he proceeded to rush us through our meal literally telling us to hurry up and bringing the food out almost all together . As we were leaving he told us to be becareful because Lexington was a scary place after a certain time. It was before 1045 pm because he had rushed us through a meal in less then an hour. It made no sense and none of us could understood what he meant by this comment . We were in town for business and this restaurant was highly recommended by a friend . We had planned to eat at this restaurant at least 2 more times in the week were visiting . I will never eat at this restaurant again. Totally unprofessional and miserable experience ."

"My wife and I are regular patrons of Blackinton and this was the first time we were disappointed. We both ordered the sirloin. My wife ordered her sirloin medium rare to rare while I ordered mine medium rare. Both arrived over cooked to medium at best. Not even pink. I have a broader tolerance of cooking temperature so we only sent back my wife's sirloin. In retrospect we should have sent both back since the event was a celebration of my birthday but found ourselves eating separately. The server agreed immediately that it was over cooked and was gracious and apologetic. The restaurant did indeed take her entree off the bill. As I said, this was the first time we were ever disappointed. My birthday was on a Monday so I am guessing the Monday chef may not be the executive chef. We will stay away from Monday's."
