A wonderful evening for my wife and myself at a local wine and kitchen. We had a charcuterie/cheese board, which was one of the best that I have ever had! Also had some of their French fries, which were awesome, and, to balance the French fries, a salad. Great service, friendly and fun. We'll be back.

It was a quiet Monday night dinner with my wife. Great service and food along with a reasonable price. We had the Pollo Artigiana and Pappardelle Morava, both were very good, no left overs.

Food and service are always fantastic. We were there early so there was virtually no noise but on a busy night it can get a little noisey. I'd highly recommend as your neighborhood hot spot or a business meal.

First visit to A.Kitchen and it was a great experience from start to finish. Sat at the chef's counter where we watched our chef juggle the lunch crowd by himself with a smile and great skill. We had a glass of wine from the small but well-selected list and a specialty cocktail. Great start. One server for the small room but she was so nice and attentive despite the challenge. Opened with the Chickpea Panisse. A unique taste of delicately fried chickpeas, not a falafel ball, but a relative over tahini and charred veggies. Large steak frites came with huge steakhouse fries, perfectly grilled as ordered. Branzino was a filet grilled to absolute perfection with tiny veggies all around. One chance for a first impression and A.Kitchen over delivered.

Please check out this restaurant! Not only was the atmosphere lovely, the service outstanding, but the food ranks up there with some of the best my husband and I have had in quite awhile and we dine out often- plus I love to cook- we’re both foodies. We’d recommend- Tuna sundae for an appetizer (we had the spicy version), cucumber salad, XO Fried rice (has big Lucious chunks of lobster in with other tasty veggies), their Szechuan Shrimp (so good- not too spicy and shrimp was cooked to perfection). Our server recommended for dessert a type of chocolate mouse (I forget the exact name) but it was heavenly. We were greeted upon entering in a friendly manner and immediately seated. This is a BYOB restaurant (another plus for us) and upon being seating our server brought a chilled bucket for our wine and offered to pour our first glass. We were pleasantly surprised at the price point- very reasonable for all you get- atmosphere, food, service. All in all, a beautiful dining experience. Well done! We’ll certainly be back.

As always, great food and service. Fluke special was terrific, as was the mushroom gnocchi. Tres Leches cake is not to be missed. Great evening out.
