Oh my goodness! What a fantastic place to eat. The Brussels sprouts were the best I've ever had...the pimiento cheese sandwich has the creamiest cheese ever...I could eat there every day and never tire of it...Oh and the lemon bars...the chocolate mint brownies...homemade cinnamon rolls...and more.. scrumptious...
the staff was so friendly. The restaurant was clean and inviting...can you tell I'm super impressed! I can hardly wait to go again!
Thank...

I had the privilege of eating at this gem today! The vibe in this restaurant is vibing! The place was clean and organized! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family! I got the sprouts and Diego Pork Tacos (HIGHLY RECOMMEND)! Our food was fresh and vibrant! Once you're done stuffing your face with your main course mosey on up to the front! The selection of desserts are mouthwatering! This is by far my new favorite place! I may live over an hour away...

I've been coming here for three years and always enjoy my meal. Sometimes, it's a Cobb salad or the Folkmoot. Sometimes, it's their daily special. Sometimes, just a Lemon Bar (or 3).

It's almost impossible to find restaurants that actually make REAL food from fresh ingredients; Kanini's stands out in this way. You can tell they actually enjoy cooking - it just shows up in everything they offer.
