Great and versatile neighborhood spot- can pop in for a drink after after work or can sit down for 4 courses and get remarkable service either way. The bar staff knows the menu so well, and can point u in the right direction. Personal favorites are the grilled octopus, the lobster quadratini, and the Krafne for dessert, and whatever amaro the bar staff recommends.

I was able to get a last minute reservation here on a weekend trip to NYC. And wow! I should have know from the great reviews, but Kindred really blew it out of the water. I had the tasting/prefix menu with the wine pairing. Every course tasted incredible, was the right size, and flowed seamlessly into the next. I think about my meal here way too often, counting down the days until I can go back.

Not a good time. I went here for a special occasion and Kindred did not impress. The appetizer was mediocre, the gnocchi portions were smaller and of worse quality than frozen Trader Joe's meals, and the dessert had absolutely no flavor. In addition to this, the atmosphere was cramped and incredibly expensive. Do yourself a favor and go to a traditional Italian diner or a more established upscale cuisine option

Really bad dining experience. The burek came out cold and was sitting in a pile of salsa so it was very soggy. Fried artichokes we’re ok but also came out cold and definitely not worth $15. Pasta was blehhhh nothing special at all. For dessert we got the fried doughnuts with lemon sauce and the inside of the donuts were completely raw and oozing out batter. Service was ok - the food took a very long time to come out after the appetizers. Only good thing was that the server comped our undercooked donuts. Very overpriced and I would not recommend at all.

1st off, I thought it was odd that their is no phone number for this restaurant. I wanted to move my reservation up 30 minutes and that was not possible. Tasty food but the smallest portions were so small. I finished my entire meal in 2 minutes and I was not eating fast. Going to be at least $75/person if you dine here FYI. Also, the waitress was not nice to our table. We asked what she recommended and she said "you're asking the wrong person. I work here." and smirked. And we then asked if they had wine and what options to which she replied "we are a wine bar, of course we have wine." Also, happy hour is a 4 OZ half price cocktail instead of an 8oz regular price.

Pasta dishes are great. Protein entrees are good. Prices are a little high. Cocktails aren't impressive. But overall great. Avoid eating at the bar, their bar stools suck, they have protuting wood ring that cuts of blood circulation in your legs. Truly dumbfounding how they choose these.

The bartender and sommelier were so incredibly nice, the cocktails are amazing and the food is delicious. Had the spaghetti, roasted chicken and pumpkin focaccia

Good service. Very good food. We sat indoors. It’s a bit tight inside but the ambiance was good. Was happy to see the staff check vaccine cards and IDs, especially because the inside space is not very spacious. Try not to fill up on the focaccia - it’s so good, but we ate too much.

The food here is delicious- everything was super flavorful and nicely cooked. I especially liked the shrimp and the gnocchi.The atmosphere is great- everyone was really helpful with recommendations and hospitable. The restaurant itself is cozy. I’d definitely recommend Kindred for a date or a dinner out with a few friends.

Tasty food but very small portionsWe ordered focaccia bread as a starter and I though it was average. The lobster quadratini was very good but definitely very small portions
UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO MANAGEMENT RESPONSE:- We had JUST paid the check and we’re still drinking our bottle of wine- manager LIED and said their “policy” (time limit on tables) was noted on the website and on our reservation confirmation - we both checked and that is NOT TRUE. We have screenshots from that day & the emailed reservation confirmations.- When he saw that we were upset he didn’t care. He could have offered us a glass of wine or at least APOLOGIZED but he DOUBLED DOWN.MANAGER WAS RUDE AND SHOULD BE IN A DIFFERENT LINE OF WORK.I eat out a lot which is proven in the number of reviews I have written. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt and rarely write negative reviews.*****Food was fine.Great waitress.HORRIBLE MANAGER/owner - do not recommend. Also def discriminated against us Bc we are two women. Happy to go into details with anyone who cares.

This recommendation was a good one! Everything was fresh and delicious! And the service was great! The octopus, cocktails, and all the pastas were all amazing.

Came to Kindred for the first time for their Halloween Witchy Wine Festival, which featured wines from female winemakers! The wine, the food, the service — everything was amazing. Even though the menu was already nut-free, the staff still had it noted that I had a nut allergy, which I really appreciated. I loved the ‘House Music’ wine and the pumpkin corn bisque the most. The shot of tequila at the end was also a great way to finish the meal. The outdoor seating was very comfortable, no complaints there. I had an amazing time at Kindred and I’m sure that the service on a regular day is just as good!

From the people of Ruffian comes this awesome eatery at the previous The Eddy space.I ate solo here once before COVID and their new pasta contributions were fantastic. Matched with a glass of regular wine, it's actually the kind of spot I would visit. During the pandemic they are offering open air feasting and I ate once alongside their WFKindred offer. The focaccia was so acceptable!I trust they get by through this. Do uphold in case you are nearby to the area!

Went there first time yesterday with a friend. Lovely food, all though the portions are quite small. Incredible wine list -we got a bottle of Slovenian chilled red, recommended by our server, and it was phenomenal! Staff was kind and knowledgeable, I can’t wait to go back!
