It's a Utica Thing! Kitchen & Bar offers a unique dining experience with tasteful decorations, a beautiful bar, and a well-managed kitchen visible from the seating area. Despite its unassuming exterior in a strip mall, the inside is very nice and creates a pleasant atmosphere. Live music and a DJ playing love songs add to the lively vibe. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the popular brisket arancini, Utica greens, and the meatball sandwich. Freshly baked bread and herbed butter enhance the meal. The food is consistently good, and the service is exceptional, with personal and attentive staff. The restaurant is a great choice for special occasions like Mother's Day or Valentine's Day, offering delicious options like chicken riggies and chicken parm, and sometimes a five-course special that guests find delicious. Overall, it's a place that surprises with its quality and atmosphere, making it a favorite for many.
