Kincaid’s is a special place for our family. Whether it’s a casual lunch or a formal dinner we can always count on Kincaid’s to deliver just what we need. They are great with the kids but still maintain a formal atmosphere that is simultaneously comfortable. We dine here often and look forward to doing so again, soon!
