Kingsley hits all the right buttons. You can sit and eat at the bar if you are feeling social or get a cozy table for two by the window. The chef often comes out to chat to locals and visitors alike and she has no problem taking opinions or praise. The bartender will recommend a cocktail if you ask he is attentive without lurking! All of this plus wonderful food, most of which is sourced locally. There are some permanent items. I love the big bowl of mussels with crusty bread for dipping; last visit they were in a saffron based broth. I highly recommend !

Great food, great service, and sometimes great music, too! An eclectic menu that never disappoints. In warm weather, it's nice to dine outside.

Stopped for a late Saturday lunch. Delicious, homemade soups, excellent and tasty salmon burger. Fine mixed drinks. Would highly recommend.

Dined for the first time here! I have only been here for drinks at the bar and always thought the food I saw others order looked really good. And in fact, it was! The grilled cheese had a wonderful cheese pull and perfect sourdough bread. The chips were fresh and crunchy. I tried my boyfriends pasta and it was the perfect flavor of crab with a light tomato sauce. We tried the hot chocolate and wow was that decadent! It was like dessert in a warm cup. Unfortunately I don't really love the espresso martinis! The menu is also a bit pricey which is fine because you get really good food. But I will say I have never been to a place that you had to pay for dinner bread! For $2 you get 2 warm rolls. It does not come complimentary which is okay but it's weird that even if you order the $36 pasta, the bread doesn't come free. That being said the bread was warm and tasty. Looking forward to trying other items next time. I'm also want to add that the staff has always been warm and friendly! And everything is always very clean.

Good food all around. Bread, burger, bahn mi, salmon and grilled cheese french dip. Drinks were top notch as well. Will be back.

The perfect stop after a morning of Christmas shopping. Fish tacos & burger hit the spot. Friendly service & cozy atmosphere was just what we were looking for. Bartender made a great espresso martini to end the meal.

I really enjoy being in this restaurant. The food is good, the ambience both inside and out is wonderful and the service is fine. The only thing that keeps me from going there is the policy that they don't accept reservations for parties of fewer than five people. What out to dinner going party of four would go to a restaurant of this caliber without a reservation? Not us. I don't know why they have this policy. No other restaurant I go to (in New York or Litchfield County) does this. Maybe they will change sometime. Until then we will happily go to Giffords.
My husband and I love Kingsley! It is our favorite restaurant in Kent. Everything about it is great: service, food, cocktails, and ambiance. Everyone is very friendly. On top of that, they have a Specials Menu that changes with some regularity. So inventive! (See photo) I had the soup and it was delicious.
