Every time I go there the waitress is so sweet and kind. I go around 230 since they are so packed during lunch. Food is always amazing, my favorite is the chicken spinach flat bread and lavender lemonaid.. definitly a shining star in our downtown area. A must try!

in town visiting my daughter over the weekend and she loves this place and suggested we go for dinner. I had the Spicy Yum-Yum and oh my goodness!! It was delicious. I also had a cocktail, The El Dorado, which was also delicious! The staff is friendly, did not have to wait for a table, and the food and drinks came out quickly! Definitely will come back to this restaurant on my next visit.

This from the 11 and 7 year olds:It was a really good experience! The lady that served us was very nice and she came very often to come check on us. We ordered and got our food quickly. It was SO GOOD! Their pizza is amazing, and the environment is very happy with TV's and really cool signs. We are definitely coming back and this is one of the BEST restaurants in history!

My friends and I have been trying local places and found this one. This was our first visit and we were not impressed. We were not greeted when we arrived. We guessed we should seat ourselves and finally managed to find a table that was clean and not reserved, waited several more minutes before being helped. We had the caprese garlic bread, grilled cheese, tomato soup, and a garden salad. Everything was on the bland and unseasoned side. The cheese in the sandwich was sad and unmelted. The hard boiled egg on the salad was over cooked and had a dark green ring around the yolk. The appetizer was one small piece of bread cut into pieces and was not toasted and soggy; not worth the price. I ordered a cocktail off the happy hour menu, it didn't taste like anything but no one was by for me to ask until the end when they brought tickets. It was the regular lavender lemonade instead of the boozy lemonade; she wasn't paying attention to me pointing at the boozy one on the menu as I ordered. Being my first time, I didn't realize there was a difference. The only resolution I was offered was for her to change it and bring a boozy lemonade out as we were leaving which I obviously didn't want to do. Chug it on the way out the door? I don't like causing a fuss so paid for it, but comping the incorrect drink would have been a nice gesture at least. Overall, the food was okay, the service was lacking and we have no desire to return.

Food was very good. Got there about 4:30 and got the last open table. Place stayed packed the whole time we were there!
I ordered the kitchen burger which is just their own burger blend, tomato, onion, lettuce. The burger was excellent. Well seasoned, juicy, and the vegetables added the texture and helped cut the richness of the meat. The fries were divine. Perfectly crispy and salted with a parseley garnish. Unfortunately the waiter missed a few things with my order. The meat was more well done and i asked for med rare. I also asked for american cheese but was given cheddar. Still a great spot and will likely be coming back. Cheers!

My husband and I share our favorite salad the chicken barbecue ranch periodically. One time we went, they had accidentally served it with all the ingredients individually placed the corn the beans the onion which is sliced and the chicken were all individually piled on top of the lettuce I didn't mind it. I did tell them this is not normally how I get it but we mixed it up with the lettuce and enjoyed sharing this delicious salad. But today we went and ordered this salad and it came to us and it was loaded with cilantro I do not like cilantro my husband likes it in very very small quantities but this was a loaded with cilantro to the point that right now my stomach is upset over it and we wasn't able to finish the salad. If you don't like cilantro do not order this, we will not be back they have ruined our favorite dish is horrible purely horrible and I am so disappointed. They call it a Bean salsa that you can order on the side, but the beans, corn and sliced onions make the dish. They top it usually with a generous amount of tortilla chips but this salad had only a couple. it was so poorly made, so disappointing we won't be back

The food was great and the service, not so much. I probably will still go back because I've always heard great things about this restaurant so it was more than likely just a fluke/off day. The building is really small and cramped so thankfully we got there before it got too busy.Wheelchair accessibility: Place is very cramped and tables are close together. While you can get a wheel chair in the place it will not be easy to maneuver around.

"The Kitchen" is not just a place where meals are prepared.From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted with an ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between elegance and warmth. The decor is chic yet inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey. The attentive staff further enhances the dining experience, ensuring every need is met with a smile and professionalism.But it's the food that truly steals the show at "The Kitchen." Each dish is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted with the finest ingredients and innovative techniques. Whether you're a fan of classic comfort food or crave bold, experimental flavors, the menu offers something to delight every palate. From the delicate flavors of the seafood risotto to the robust richness of the braised short ribs, every bite is a revelation.The attention to detail extends beyond the plate, with a presentation that is nothing short of stunning. Each dish is a work of art, thoughtfully arranged to please both the eye and the taste buds. And the wine selection? Superb. With a curated list featuring both local favorites and international gems, there's the perfect pairing for every dish.But perhaps what sets "The Kitchen" apart is its commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing. Every ingredient is carefully chosen, with a focus on supporting local farmers and producers. It's dining with a conscience, knowing that each meal not only delights the senses but also contributes to a more sustainable food system."The Kitchen" is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience to be savored and cherished.

I really hate to do this because I have eaten here a number of times. It is very close to work and easy to walk to. The food is usually good but today after waiting for an hour for our food (which we could see had been sitting in the "window" for at least 10 minutes), one person in our party had to approach the employees and bring it to their attention that we had been waiting so long. Sure enough, when they brought the food over, it was barely warm and the cheese had that dark, hard look of cheese that has been sitting under a warmer too long. Unfortunately, this restaurant will no longer be on the list of places to go for lunch during the work day.

This was a very disappointing visit to a restaurant that I had loved visiting previously. We stood at the door waiting for some type of greeting and we were ignored by three staff members. The restaurant is small and there is no excuse for the lack of a simple greeting. We went and sat down as there was not a hostess or a sign to indicate what you should do. As soon as we sat down immediately a server came to tell us we could not sit there as a larger party was waiting. We will not return due to the poor service which is upsetting as their food had always been delicious.
