About the restaurant

Welcome to the Downtown Kitchen. We have one goal in mind when we open our doors every day - "To do whatever it takes to create the best dining experience possible.' That means buying certified Angus beef, Ashley Farms chicken, New Zealand Spring lamb, dayboat fish and fresh local produce. We change our menus daily according to market and season availability. Our style of cooking is defined as simplicity at its best. We built the restaurant to elevate the guests' level of comfort. The bar, tables, and booths were custom-made by a local wood worker. And we searched the nation for unique works of Art to deck our walls. Music of Blues and Rock greats fill the air. Service is as important as the food. Our staff is sincere, knowledgeable and friendly. They hustle to deliver the best service around, yet take the time to remember your name and how you like your drink.

Food was great, as always. Service was slow and the restaurant appeared to be in the middle of reconfiguration. We were sat in what used to be the entrance of the restaurant. Just didn’t have a good ambiance.

Was looking for a place in downtown for a quick dinner before a show and chose this because they took reservations. While we didn’t need one we found this place to be perfect for what we wanted. We were seated immediately and our waitress did a wonderful job. I had the pork carnita tacos which were awesome and my husband had a burger which he said was delicious. I would definitely recommend for a nice meal and drinks.
