“Great location in Clinton! Good sized menu! I loved the hibiscus pineapple juice; very refreshing! The tuna was good, a little pricey though. Im not vegan and ordered the black bean chili, it would have been nice to actually have meat in it. Lol. I added raw onion and hot sauce and it was better tasting IMO. The whiting nuggets were cool, the sauce was superb. I also ordered the salmon salad but haven’t eaten it yet. The presentation is chefs kiss! So much color in the dish. I want to comeback and try the bean pie and the hibiscus ginger pineapple juice.“

“Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!“

I had never had duck before and this dish had duck breast and a fried leg. Both were amazing. It was impossible to choose a favorite. I'm sure duck is ruined for me now. Oh and for desert we had Coffee and Cigarettes, which was served in an ash tray. I've never had an experience like that with something I was eating. I was honestly blown away. That's just the food. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back.“

It offered only 2 items, leaving most kids without something simple like eggs. The menu offered bacon or French toast, but no eggs, which seemed really interesting. Overall, my food and drinks were great. We would most likely go again in the near future.“

NEXT TIME, please don't forget the GRAVY!!!!....and make sure you include all of the sides! Thank you! I hope this is the correct location; the one by the Movie Theater and not the Brand New Location.“

However, an automatic 18% gratuity was added for our table of three and wasn't mentioned by our server — we nearly tipped twice before noticing. I'm someone who routinely tips 20%, so clearer communication would have been appreciated. The service was also inattentive, which made the automatic charge frustrating.“
