Kitchen & Kocktails was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was alive with energy—the music made me want to dance, and the food brought me so much joy! The photographer made me feel beautiful and camera-ready, and sharing it all with my bestie was the perfect touch. Our waiter went above and beyond, ensuring we were cared for every step of the way. Their attentive service made us feel like we’d built a genuine connection. It’s clear that at Kitchen & Kocktails, caring is always the first thing on the menu. Can’t wait to return!

This is one of my new favorite restaurants in the city. Everyone is so kind and friendly from the moment you walk through the door. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and provided great suggestions. The drinks were creative and delicious. The food was out of this world - so fresh and flavorful. Hands down the best waffles I’ve ever eaten. The shrimp and grits were fantastic as well. The decor is beautiful and the vibe is so energizing. 11 out of 10!

When you first walk in, there was a nice look and feel. Then, I was asked to pose and take photos. I noticed there was only fried foods on the menu, so I chose the jerk chicken pasta soup. This soup was so salty, I could barely eat it all. The sweet potato fries were good, however, there were chunks of unknown cinnamon and sugar I wasn’t sure i should eat. Then a lady comes to the table with printouts of our pictures in glittery frames for sale @ $25. 😫 Added 20% gratuity regardless of party size… smelled like weed/cigar 💨 It just wasn’t a good look for a restaurant that attracts predominantly AA people..

Food was average. Staff was nice. It was a loud environment and I think I smelled weed. I know the restaurant cannot control this but it was disappointing.
