wilshire's restaurant

at canewood. we finally got to wilshire's for dinner last night. the first few times we tried there were no parking places. but monday night was slow and the restaurant was not crowded at all. the location is at canewood golf course and the restaurant is in the historic general john payne house, which was built in the 1790's. prices are about the same as other georgetown restaurants and the food and service were both better than we expected. themenuis somewhat limited but everything we ordered was very good.

excellent food and fun atmosphere!. we had dinner here last night with friends who eat here regularly so this restaruant came highly recommended. it was worth the drive from lexington to georgetown. it's tucked away in a beautiful golf course community and easy to find. themenuoffered a variety of comfort foods and healthy items from fish to chicken and beef and great soups and salads. there was so many different items to choose from but i went with one of my favorites, walleye fish with mac n cheese and fresh vegetables. it was awesome and this is one place to try to mac n cheese, don't skimp here! others in our party had tomato basil soup with spinach salad and grilled salmon , seafood croquettes, chicken croquettes and the appetizer we had was country ham egg rolls and they were yummy! i could not try everything in one night so i will definitely be back and i would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for really good reasonably priced food. we sat in the room in the back where it was quiet but the bar had a great country singer and it was hopping with people having a great time! the owners were great people and really want you to have a great experience here! thanks, laura for your great service and excellent food! kim buckley

had an amazing anniversary dinner!!. went here for my 2 year anniversary dinner and it was amazing! walked in and we were sat in front of the fire place in a quiet room that was candle lit. super romantic and we were all by ourselves be cause everyone else was outside or at the bar for the game. the food was really good and themenuhad something for everyone and it was priced right. the waitress was super nice and made sure we were taken care of. i will probably make this one of my go to restaurants:)! (fancy restaurant without the fancy price and weird food)

winter menu...... a weeknight visit to wilshire's proved a very good meal! we enjoyed each entree and our server was great! pleased to have this restaurant close at hand! we prefer not to eat in the bar area, the 'house' part of the restaurant is lovely!

a good start....... charming interior. sweet, attentive wait-staff. but, it is time to change up the menu. go seasonal, go local, get proud! they do have specials on themenueach night, a good sign.
the salad dressings are home-made and are very well made, in fact the salad was 'dressed' just perfect! and the salmon with the onions and red peppers.....hmmmmmm, that just didn't work. the salmon was cooked nicely, but the 'hunks' of veg ...... not appealing! that needs a rethink.
all in all.....a great start and our family will continue to see how the place develops!
