LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 14, 2011) − The terrace at the University of Kentucky's Hilary J. Boone Center is open for lunch to all UK faculty and staff during the month of June, with no membership required. The outdoor space offers a casual dining experience perfect for a quick meal or a lunch meeting.

A casual, quick-service menu is offered for terrace visitors, including spring rolls, tempura fried pickles, the Boone Center Burger, chicken salad with fruit, grilled vegetable panini and quiche Lorraine. Guests can also order from the more extensive regular menu that includes crispy organic chicken, shrimp and grits, tamarind glazed mahi-mahi and more.
