    The food was amazing. The staff and service were outstanding. My daughter has dietary restrictions. The chef and staff could not have been more accommodating. They created a tasty meal and adjusted each course to fit her needs. We could not have been happier. Our dinners were also outstanding. Love, Love, Love this restaurant.

    The special Thanksgiving dinner was outstanding. The service was very friendly and came back often to check if everything was good. The dressing on the salad was delicious. The turkey pot pie had a special flavor and the rolled up filo leaves gave it a nice texture. The condiments with the turkey blended in very well. This was a great dinner experience.

    Thank you to Marcia the amazing manager and also to our wonderful server. We waited for a bit to get drink service (which was honestly no problem), but they made up for it tenfold. We had the best Thanksgiving meal at the Kitchen - we will definitely return for next year!

    My mom and I have been to other Kimbal Musk restaurants before and our expectations were not only met but exceeded. The food was so filling and real. So good. Leftovers were just as good the second day!!
