Favor is a quietly captivating spot tucked away just behind the bustling Arcadium bar — a hidden gem that unfolds like a whispered secret in the heart of Lexington. The moment you step inside, the atmosphere shifts to something more intimate and thoughtful, where a warm glow and attentive service make each visit feel personal, almost like dining in a friend’s carefully curated kitchen.

The pace here is unhurried, inviting you to lean into the experience and savor not only the food but also the setting and the shared moments around the table. It’s a place where the hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the soft clatter of plates, all under the watchful eye of Chef Wyatt Sarbacker, whose passion for craft is palpable. Falvor and creativity come through in every plate, turning simple ingredients into something quietly special — whether it’s a burger elevated beyond anything ordinary, or empanadas that feel like a small celebration of kitchen ingenuity.

You’ll find the menu rhythm changes often, reflecting the seasons and Chef Wyatt’s thoughtful approach, yet always grounded in familiar comforts with unexpected twists. The dishes are best enjoyed family-style, encouraging shared discovery and conversation that linger well past the last bite. Drinks tend to be subtle companions to the food, enhancing the harmony of flavors without ever overpowering the experience.

In a city bustling with options, Favor stands apart not with loud excitement but through gentle excellence and a sense of belonging. It’s a place to come back to, again and again, not just for what’s on the plate but for the thoughtful way it invites guests to slow down and appreciate the layers of care — from the kitchen to the table.
