Really great food and service. A service charge appeared on the bill however. This should be built into the price on the menu and not a surprise at the end of the meal.

The restaurant is a short walk from 11th and Spruce parking. We were seated next to the door and it was chilly. Restaurant staff would keep the door open for some reason to make things worse. Food was okay. The cauliflower was over fried and was bitter, mussels, oysters and cod was just okay. Coming to the steaks, Denver steak was good and Kansas City strip steak was okay. Overall felt a bit pricey for what they had to offer. Paid $400 for a party of 4 (two adults and 2 children).

Really enjoyable vibe at this restaurant. The simple design with exposed brick created a warm atmosphere. Service was outstanding. We enjoyed most of the dishes. Great shrimp, crispy cauliflower, carrots. The gnocchetti were a little too rich. But great drinks and overall excellent experience.

I love the Kitchen and have loved it since it opened years and years ago. Hadn’t been for lunch in a while, so decided to go on a whim. Glad I did. Will be back!

The staff were exceptional and the food and drink were top notch. We left very happy and while it maybe seem a bit more costly to try a lot of different things, it was well worth it. Keep it up 👍

We had reservations in the middle of a winter storm, but the kitchen was very flexible and made it all happen for us after the storm had passed. It was well worth the wait. We had a lovely brunch and would recommend it to our friends.
