    I am so glad my girlfriend and I ended up here. After a long day in the city during the holidays, we had reservations and were looking for an intimate yet engaging space. a.kitchen was exactly that. Extraordinary service, lovely win, fantastic food. We both enjoyed everything about this dinner experience, and will definitely be back! Shoutout the staff for holding the item we forgot and giving us a call, great hospitality. Side note from a boyfriend, thanks for helping me make this date night unique and fun. Thanks for not rushing our food, this place is meant for conversating and we were able to do just that! Highly recommend!
