(Rusty should know how to celebrate in Lexington, having won a race at 59 straight meets at Keeneland.)

One of our favorite restaurants in Lexington is Azur. The food is very good, with a very nice variety. The prices are higher than average, but well worth it. But what makes it special is the atmosphere and the fabulous service. The decor is unique and uncluttered. When the weather is nice the patio is a terrific place to dine or just have a cocktail. There is usually live music, sometimes just a man and a guitar! Everyone that works there is very attentive and after a couple of visits will probably know you on a first name basis.
