Maybe it was the camaraderie he felt while working at a burger joint as a University of Kentucky student, or the rush of exploring new spots in big cities during corporate trips, but Dallas Rose wanted to set and share a table of his own. When the third-generation resident of Lexington, Kentucky, returned home to raise his family in 2017, he set out to open a restaurant that would honor local purveyors, add flair to the state’s rich bourbon culture, and pay homage to the international stature of the Horse Capital of the World. For seven years he hammered out the details with his director of operations and partner, Aaron Wood. And this Saturday, they open the doors to Mileta, a name that translates to gracious and nods to his Serbian heritage.
