Located in DTLA on Grand Avenue at The Music Center, Kendall’s is a modern take on a classic French Brasserie. Guests are invited to dine al fresco on the patio, with an inventive cocktail at a modern bar, or over a meal in a light, expressive interior. With a focus on local ingredients, the menu reenergizes classic French dishes like Braised Short Rib and Salmon Buerre Blanc with a touch of “je ne sais quoi”.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Kendall's Brasserie offers a prime location for pre-theater dining with "excellent service" and a "convenient setup" near the Music Center. While some find the menu limited, dishes like the Steak Frites and Loup de Mer are praised. The restaurant's atmosphere, though modernized, retains its "great energy," making it a popular choice for theater-goers.

The service was much better than the food. I had the mussels (decent, predictable), the tuna tartare (interesting, I wanted to like the apples and fennel, but it didn't make the mark), and the bread pudding (texture was not pleasing, but the topping was good).

Great bartender. But the restaurant was a big disappointment! Were given a small menu with only five entrees. When we went to order we were told neither of those two items were available! Why didn’t the waiter tell us that when he brought the menu! The “quiche” we ordered was pathetic…and very small, served with a “salad” that consisted of a handful of arugula and some shaved carrots! Very disappointing! Crème Brûlée was not crème brûlée - some kind of bland pudding! $133.00!

Such a poor menu. This place has a very mediocre menu and is large and cold. It is more like a train station in that it’s a big room for such a mediocre menu. The music center restaurants should all be good but only Abernathy’s is. Kendall’s is never warm and inviting.

It is about time that they changed the menu. I like the fact that there are more choices and some specials, though my husband misses the Croque Monsiuer.
