Kitchen + Kocktails By Kevin Kelley - DC

The best Southern food I have had since moving to the DMV. My husband had the salmon and grits (great combo) and I had the gumbo. The desserts were tasty too. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

The food was absolutely delicious. However, everything is a la carte and overpriced. A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all checks and they still have the suggested amounts for an additional tip on the check. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, just wish it was reasonably priced.

Walking up to the restaurant I smelled marijuana from the patrons. It was a group of young adults who were unorganized in planning but also dining in. The staff was attentive and continued to serve the other patrons including myself. Our waitress was wonderful and so was the food. The atmosphere was not as elegant as I expected, but the food and service made up for those things. Items were a little pricey but we gave it try.

2nd time eating at restaurant. Everything was great except for 2 things that they need to work on. The chairs were cloth and had many visible dried stains, and you are sitting too low to the table because the cushions are worn out. Need to invest in seats that you can wipe down. The first time we were there, we knew there was a 20% service fee, which was fine, but our waiter told us his tip was not included. On the 2nd visit, our waitress advised us of the 20% fee, but she stated that she gets a portion of it. We always tip over for great service, but there needs to be consistency in information about fees.

Food was spectacular. Service unparalleled! The mandatory 20% Service Fee for a party if 2 left a bad taste in my mouth. And there is the ability to get $25 off the total bill (runs about $100 per person before any discounts) but only if you sign up for the InKind app which automatically adds 25% gratuity on top of the 20% house service fee. And you can't change that when using the app.

Loved the vibe of this spot! Met at the door with a “welcome home!” from the staff. Loved that! We went on a Friday night and sat on the lower level in Antonio's section. He was amazing! He had great cocktail and food recommendations. Checked on us regularly and made us feel very welcome! The food was sooo good! Our favorites were the deviled eggs, fried shrimp, Mac & Cheese, and the banana pudding! Plus there was a live band that got folks up and dancing. We had a great time! We'll definitely come back...next time we'll try the Happy Hour!

The energy and vibe were absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. The service was top tier—attentive, friendly, and professional. Every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Overall, an incredible dining experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back!

Everything from the appetizing lobster bites to the catfish with grits and fried chicken with Mac and cheese - absolutely deliciouso! Wish we had one in Orlando.

The staff was awesome. The food was great and the environment was lovely. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Loved this place!! The ambiance is casual chic with dark hues and a giant wall of red roses, the perfect Instagram background Food was amazing and the cocktails were seriusly impressive The mixologist Jerry was amazing , welcoming and professional , her curated cocktails were absolutely sexy and tantalizing emphasizing presentation and creating a memorable experience for Her guests This restaurant is great for special occasions, date night, corporate events and business lunch

Food was great- everything else, not so much. My water never got refilled, we had to ask for things multiple times, we were asked to get up AFTER the host sat us, and my husband is in a walker- they had us walking in areas that didn't take his injury into account.

Not an experience I'd revisit. The food was fine, the noise was not ideal, the servers were fine. Yep drinks and two entrees came to $114. That wasn't worth the cost.

Food was good, service was terrible (waiter was nice though). Needs to organize themselves and fix dining area for more space. P.S. if you have a reservation you still gonna have to wait 40minutes+

Daryle was an amazing server that provided an extra positive spin to my guest experience. It was a pleasure spending my birthday with him at Kitchen & Kocktails.
