I love every meal I’ve had here and I’ve eaten there a ton. Each experience is unique and worth the money!

We felt scammed. None of the food appears freshly cooked. They seem to be using a lot of frozen/pre made stuff. I'm pretty sure I heard the microwave going while we waited.

Amazing Vietnamese inspired cuisine with Anne, each dish was thoughtfully prepared and soooo good. The owner was incredibly hospitable and we loved talking to him. Great drinks too! Worth every penny for this unique dining experience!

Chef Osmar is so amazing and talented. I love the atmosphere the restaurant was giving speakeasy vibes. I really like this unique and intimate vibe that this restaurant give. I also love the Q&A session that the chef does at the end of the meal. The food was delicious would come back again and to try another chef and taste their menu . It was always my Birthday and they made it special and everyone came out to sing to me. Definitely will recommend to anyone wanting a unique and intimate dining

A successful viral marketing strategy on social media, but a disappointing execution when it comes to the food—especially at an average price of over $100 per person with wine.

Went in with high expectations. The first surprise came when the host told us they only had one or two red wine options. The second was the plate of salad that looked like something from a grocery store. The third was the chips, which tasted like they came straight from a supermarket bag. And the final surprise? A new group of guests came in before we even finished. And the best part? They were asked to step back out into the freezing cold pitch-black night 🤣

Delivering a true fine dining experience—based on the food alone—requires a lot: sourcing the best ingredients, days of preparation, and a chef who’s intimately familiar with the kitchenware and the flow of the kitchen. I honestly don’t see how a pop-up model can meet any of those standards, yet still justify a $100+ price tag.

And speaking of elements beyond the food—service, decor, kitchenware, wine pairing—each plays a critical role in a fine dining experience. Aside from the surprise blackout secret door, the interior was awful: lacking detail, lacking cleanliness, just overall unimpressive. The dinnerware felt cheap, and the wine selection was minimal.

Excellent experience! Been there couples time with my staff members already. Awesome chill place for small groups perfect for private parties. They have different chef with different menus every time you can schedule the food type you like which is new to me. They always explain everything share their experiences, uses and the process of each dish. Great service always make sure our glasses are full

Had an amazing Cajun dinner prepared by Chef Marcus. We really enjoyed the food and service. It’s a quiet place - perfect for a weekday date! I would have been happier had there been less smoke in the air though, really bothered my eyes. They could use better ventilation. All in all, great place to visit!

Just do it. If you snag a reservation, don’t hesitate, just go. Went here for a birthday dinner and was quite happy with the service, food, and drinks. Chef Nisa embodied her love for food in each dish and it was well received by all attended. The owner played host and he kept the vibe jovial, welcoming and laid back, but still left enough moments for it to be intimate with your company. 10/10 Will revisit!

Phenomenal experience with the guest chef, owner, and the absolute darling bartending. It would be easy to comfortably become a regular at The Kitchen thanks to their hospitality and rotating cuisine. An absolute must try!

My husband and I went last weekend to celebrate our anniversary. It was so great! I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was an intimate and personal dining experience. Chef Luis cooked an impressive 7 courses and each was amazing. Ed was friendly and accommodating. We have been talking about it all week- such a great experience and amazing food!

A wonderful experience with fantastic food and wine and a great atmosphere! Chef Ann is the best, I’ve never had anything like her fish curry before but I want to have it again ASAP. Ed was wonderful to chat with as well, you can really tell this is a passion project of his. Also very accommodating of dietary restrictions!

Do yourself a favor and read this review. Don’t go here. The owner straight up harasses people if they leave a bad review. I have attached a photo of one of the emails he sent me following the review. This is just one of the many crazy emails he has sent me and my fiance. He has now threatened legal action because we left a not even that bad review for them cancelling last minute. Absolutely insane to be dealing with this.
