   Absolutely incredible food, we've eaten at a few vegan restaurants and this by far was the top. Great atmosphere, so many good options. I wish we lived closer so we could go all the time!

   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

   The decor is great, food was not bad for Vegan, but I have had better. It is way too loud with rock music. We had to talk extremely loud just to hear each other.

   Overall the food was great. The drinks had way too much ice in them, but they did taste good. .. it was just all ice though. We came for my sister's bday, and I specifically asked in my reservation request to please make it special for her. No one mentioned her bday except for the host, and the server seemed uninterested that her food took about 20min after everyone at the table had already received theirs. The food runner was also a little rude to the table. The server did not seem invested in his job, and after we ordered the desert for the table, it was dropped off, and we had no silverware to eat it with or plates. Overall underwhelmed by the service we received that night. It did not feel special or fun for a bday celebration, so I would not recommend it to others.

   Was surprised to see most of the items had Impossible meat. I could have sworn they had more plant-forward foods vs processed. Still very flavorful and a good vegan option.

   The food here is so good. The ambiance and decor are really cool. The drinks are great too. I’ve been many times and will go back many times.

    We enjoyed the food and drinks at Kindred - nice flavors - but I was very turned off that the mocktails had way too much ice and barely any actual drink (it felt like a scam). Likewise with the food - had the Double Cheeseburger and the portion was very small. I've been wanting to try Kindred for a while and I'm glad I experienced it but I won't be back! In conclusion, it feels very beneath your establishment to shortchange customers by making the mocktails mostly ice and the portion sizes so small.
