a perfect location for a date night - a friendly host, creative culinary combinations and quality ingredients. service could have been better, and the decor needs to be updated, but the menu remains outstanding. the sausage crostinis are mouthwatering, with local italian sausage, fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, basil pesto and house marinara. tulip serves my favorite pork chop in lexington (grilled, house brined and marinated, mango and papaya chutney, purple peruvian potatoes and smoked cauliflower) - juicy, tender pork chop that is seared, which is perfectly complimented by the chutney. another positive experience at tulip!
