We went to Kitchen in West Palm Beach this evening for the first time in a few years and left very disappointed. To be fair, the food itself was good — but the service was truly awful and ruined the experience. Our clams were brought out with no serving spoon. They forgot our bread entirely. The beet salad tasted good, but the beets were cut so thick it was difficult to eat. We split a chicken entrée and were never given extra plates to share. The ambiance was eh. Overall, this was not the Kitchen we remembered. Good food can't make up for poor service and an uninviting atmosphere. Unfortunately, we won't be rushing back.

Branzino is especially excellent at Kitchen. Did not think the bread appetizer was worth the expense, but the salads were delicious...very tasty dressings. The setting is relaxed and gracious.

Food is great but the noises from planes amd traffic is really a problem. I do t think i will sit outside next time. Also , the chef insists that you put the entire order in at one time.

Every great food service however they jam all the tables together on both sides of you zero privacy way to close to other tables. Ruined the night. I could not.get outmof there fast enough. Again food and service excellent.

This is a restaurant for adults, with choices of two inside rooms and outside. Excellent food, service and ambience. Valet parking only, but it's complimentary. We had salmon and fettuccine bolognese, and both entrees were wonderful. Service was attentive in an unassuming way. We would have stayed for dessert, but we were just too full.

We had a lovely meal at The Kitchen and wanted to share our experience. I started with the Caesar salad, which came with anchovies, a Parmesan cheese cracker, and a biscotti. The flavors blended nicely, but the lettuce itself was a bit uninspiring. The lemon chicken followed, and it was outstanding—bright, flavorful, and absolutely worth ordering again. For dessert, I chose the chocolate pie, which was delicious and something I'd happily get on a return visit. Our server, Jody, was friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaging as she helped us talk through our menu choices. Our daughter ordered the meatloaf and was very impressed with it as well. Overall, we had a great experience at The Kitchen and would happily recommend it.

Lovely dinner in the garden. The staff was very attentive, we were seated right away, level was low, which was a treat. Our dinner was delicious. We shared a few appetizers. I had the burger and fries which were spectacular and we shared a few desserts. Overall, a wonderful evening great cocktails nice wine choices.

Been going for years. Started and maintained well for years - now not the same establishment. With the exception of a lovely server- the entire experience was poor. The food- all dishes ordered were bland, tasteless and small portioned. And really charging for slices of bread ? Sad to say after all this time, I and my party will not be returning. They have expanded and lost their verve. Too bad.
Darlene
Amazing service professional, a great place for an intimate diner. The food is superb one of my faves.

So many good things on the menu made for a difficult choice but three of us opted for fish of the day, swordfish that was exquisite. Always try the tuna tartare and the potato pancakes. Also don't sleep on the coconut cake. Great service too.
