Really underwhelming and overwhelming all at once. The music was quizzical and dissonant and SOOO loud. The table they proposed seating us at was about 12” round, with two strange chairs huddled together in a dark roachy corner. No thanks. We insisted on another table and we were begrudgingly accorded a more civilized spot on dirty (non-white) garden furniture. All in all, the food was ok, but over priced. It was just not my jam. Won't go back.

We went for NYE. The food was wonderful. Pretty restaurant. Music way too loud, but that may have just been because of the day.

We dined here last night for New Year's Eve with an 8:30 pm reservation. When the host seated us, we were not informed that there would be a separate event starting at 9:30 pm or that tables were being bought out for the night. That lack of communication ended up causing an unnecessary & uncomfortable situation later on. Throughout the evening, our server was outstanding, kind, attentive, & professional. The food was delicious, the drinks were good, & overall the quality matched the price point. Up until the incident, we were really enjoying our experience. At one point, my husband & I got up briefly to take a photo. As we returned to our table, a man wearing a sequin jacket aggressively stopped us &, in an extremely rude tone, told us, “You can't sit there, that table has been bought.” We calmly tried to explain that we had been dining at that table all evening and were simply returning to our seats. Instead of listening, he repeatedly raised his voice, blocked the table, & continued to shout that we were not allowed to sit there. Our server noticed what was happening & immediately stepped in, explaining to the man that we were existing guests & that the table was ours. The man walked away angrily without apologizing. Our server then explained that there was an event taking place & that all tables had been bought out, & he sincerely apologized for the hosts not communicating this to us beforehand. He even told us he would speak to the individual who confronted us, only for us to find out that the man was the manager. While mistakes happen, a manager speaking to guests in such a disrespectful & confrontational manner is completely unacceptable, especially at an otherwise nice establishment. I'm writing this review to highlight how exceptionally our server handled the situation, but also to point out that management needs additional training in communication and customer service. One interaction like this can easily overshadow an otherwise great dining experience

The vibe at the Kennedy is a lovely experience. The food quality and professional service by the team is exceptional. The brunch menu offers a variety of options; the crab cakes and hamburger are delicious ! Brunch cocktails - amazing 🥰
Jigna
Excellent service! Perfect martinis! And the hostess with the mostest, Joy, was absolutely ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
Monica
Well we went for Saturday brunch. No one was there. We literally had place to ourselves. Which did not make us feel good about our choice. Food was okay. Expensive! Service okay. Beautiful restaurant. Parking was $10 and literally I could just walk to car as it was in front due to no one being there. Felt this was not appropriate to have to pay.

Zeki was the best! The restaurant had a good vibe with the piano and the food was great. No complaints from me

On yesterday I had the opportunity to have a pre birthday celebration. Due to unexpected circumstances my friend wasn't able to attend. So I had a party of one for the celebration. The staff was overally supportive, the waitress took my picture and video. The staff made the moment uncomfortable to perfect for me. I can not say enough good things about the staff. Totally impress. The food was delicious and definitely a 10 out of 10. I have already told so many people about my amazing experience at The Kennedy.

Went to a small engagement party then stayed for dinner. Service was great, food was excellent. Will definitely go back.

Loved this place! One of my favorite restaurants. A bit on the pricier side but well worth it. I think you're paying for the ambience more here! But the food is really good! Staff is also really nice
Taz gave great service. Awesome food and drinks. Great brunch or late night spot

This is one of those places that they’re trying too hard.The indoor space is very small and yet they try to fit as many tables and launching spaces and fake plants that only take up space, the layout is odd If youre here to get a “section” which is basically a table (I hope they disinfect those booths) consider that when you’re eating your meal. Remove random seating spaces, what is this a club, a restaurant, a launch? Pick one and make it work, also ac in the women bathroom is none existent. Music is blah, Another thing I noticed is that they let anyone in! A chick was doing “it” with a guy in the women’s restroom! Guetto!

I actually did not have a good experience here. There was no hostess immediately available when I arrived then my table was given away and I had to wait at the bar which was overcrowded, shouting for my drink order. The drinks were overfilled and spilled on nearby customers causing upset. We secured a table finally, had to request service and the restroom was inadequate, crowded and the whole event was a bunch of 20 something's with the ladies poorly attired. The event was not as advertised and the “supper club” vibe was lacking. It was the equivalent of an overcrowded bar/club and not for a high-end crowd on a Saturday night. Drinks were okay, nothing exceptional and we did not order food. Overall, not a great first impression and though I will post a few social media photos for my personal use there was not much I could capture in such a noisy crowd. 1/5 stars
