Our Story: A Lexington Tradition Reimagined

The Ketch has been a beloved part of Lexington’s dining scene for decades, known for its laid-back atmosphere, fresh seafood, and welcoming spirit. For years, it was the kind of place where families gathered, friends celebrated, and newcomers quickly felt like regulars.

When The Ketch faced closure, a group of local friends — all long-time patrons and passionate supporters of Lexington’s local businesses — knew they couldn’t let such an important piece of the community’s history disappear. United by a shared love for The Ketch and its legacy, they came together to purchase the restaurant and breathe new life into it.

Today, after thoughtful renovations and a refreshed vision, The Ketch continues to honor its roots while offering an even better experience for the next generation of guests. We remain committed to serving fresh seafood, hearty classics, and the same friendly vibe that has made The Ketch a Lexington favorite for so many years.

We’re proud to carry the story forward — and even prouder to welcome you in to be part of it.
