romantic or quirky restaurants near red river gorge?

I plan to be staying at the Natural Bridge State Park soon. After a day of hiking, my wife asked me to find a place for dinner, something special. We often like quirky or nice places that aren%26#39;t chain restaurants. I was just wondering what%26#39;s available within a half hour of the lodge.

thanks in advance.

Its not exactly romantic but their is a good pizza place over at Red River Gorge. It is called Miguels Pizza. It is a bright yellow building so its unique. They also have rock climbing gear and other souvenirs. If you want to read some reviews the link is:

There is just not much around that area. I absolutely second the rec on Miguel%26#39;s Pizza. It is the very definition of quirky, with rock climbers camping out in tents behind the restaurant. The pizza is great. My only other suggestion would be the restaurant at the Natural Bridge Lodge. The state park system has greatly upgraded the food served at the state resort parks over the past few years. Great views, too.

Lexington is less than an hour from the park.
