   The info on open table was not honoured at the restaurant they claimed they quit the appetivo offer a long time ago but open table didn’t take it down. Manager offered a free appie instead but wouldn’t honor the happy hour time. The hamburger wasn’t good was like 2 slider patties put in a bun that was too big. Every little thing asked for like chip dip as no gravy was possible was at an additional charge on the bill but not told to. Was less than impressed overall.

   We chose Kindred specifically for the Holiday Menu because the two choices looked appealing. It was overpriced compared to their other special occasion menus and the regular menu, specifically the dessert was $20, instead of their usual $12-$13. For this Christmas dinner there was no bread offered, no welcome Prosecco, no cookie, bon bon, or mint with the bill. They neglected to offer us the Apertivo menu /cocktail pricing. The food was delicious and well prepared. The service was professional, attentive (because the restaurant was almost empty) and friendly. They missed an opportunity to knock it out of the park, or even make it feel like a special Christmas meal in ANY way. I expected better from a restaurant in a 4 star hotel. The experience was just okay, but there are so many other choices with excellent food in Edmonton that will either have that special touch or be more realistically priced for what you're getting. I don't know if I would go back. Definitely not for an overpriced holiday menu.

   I wasn’t sure about this hotel restaurant due to some reviews that focused on service. Were were there 1.5 hours before an Oiler game and the service was great. Food was delicious and was happy with the portion size. Short rib risotto was very good, the portion size was slightly small. Kale salad and two pizzas were also really good. The food coming out around us looked very good with big portion sizes on the pasta and sandwiches. Very good overall.

   It was ok. For the price it could have been way better. Our discount was forgotten. Not sure if we will return

   Food was good, restaurant was beautiful, but service was awful. No consistent server, we weren't checked up on and had to waive people down, needed to ask three different servers for refills on our waters, needed to flag two different people down for our bill and even then one of the staff didnt come over with it until we stood up and started putting our coats on. It was ridiculous.

    Never a bad choice to dine at kindred. Tea was flavorful and the short risotto. Wonderful lunch.
