    Let me start by saying I’ve been coming to Kindred for 10 years (since they first opened). Always a great vibe, drinks on point, great service. Now the bad news…. The food program was always good up until Covid. Quality options, comfort food options, etc. They did a great job during Covid as well all things considered. Sadly since Covid the food program has greatly suffered. Cost cutting? Yep. Lower quality items, more junky options, etc. I have tried most if not options on their “new” menu food items. Last night I tried the Heart n Soul. I found it to be ok but quite pricey. A variation of their old Soul Crush except using Impossible instead of Gardein. With all that said I/we will continue to go for the vibe and the drinks. Food program will still be a no go until they elevate back to their old standards

    Amazing Restaurant. Never fails to exceed expectations. Korean Prime Skirt Steak is a favorite as well as the Seared Ahi. Best brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. Amazing wait staff and bartenders. Great service whether sitting at the bar or in the dining room.  Make reservations because you’ll never walk in and get a table, although I have had success as a walk in for dinner at the bar.

    It was my birthday and we had the best time! The wine came out quickly along with all the appetizers. Everything was fresh and large portions. We made multiple waiters come and check on us throughout the evening. The location is half inside and half outside but even if you're outside you're under a HUGE heater. So don't be afraid you'll be cold. This is one of my favorite restaurant to celebrate
