The spicy salmon and prickly pear margarita were amazing!

Kettle Black Kitchen is truly a hidden gem! We came in with a large group, and from the moment we walked through the door, the staff made us feel like family. The service was absolutely outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuine. As for the food, it somehow managed to be even better! Everyone in our group ordered something different, and every dish looked and tasted incredible. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything they do. I can’t recommend this spot highly enough...read full review

The maple braised bone in pork shank with carrot purée and maple pan sauce was just incredible. Friendly, helpful staff and a great ambiance added to a memorable meal. We can’t wait to return.
