Hi Franck,
I have a dear friend that lives in Lexington and I asked her. This is what she replied:

Oh yes!  There are plenty of really, really good restaurants considering  we're a small city.  There is Roy & Nadines,  a la Lucie,  Pacific Pearl,  Atomic Cafe,  Merrick Inn and Emmetts.  Those are the ones I can think of  right off the top of my head.  These are all locally owned and have the absolutely best food and atmosphere.  They're not expensive - two people can  usually eat for about $50 not including wine or drinks.   Emmetts is yummy and has an excellent chef - a wide variety of things to eat there.  Merrick Inn is a great old standby restaurant - some close friends of ours own it and it's ALWAYS booked and it's ALWAYS good - steaks, standard food - but delicious.  Atomic Cafe is carribean and too much fun to go and sit out on the patio and listen to reggae music and eat some fine jerk chicken.  Pacific Pearl is asian food and  has the best daily specials around.  a la Lucie is a small restaurant with a  European flavor - close tables, bistro-like.  MMMMMMMM... makes me want to go  out to eat!

Hope you have a great time.
