    This restaurant has been and continues to be a hidden jewel. The food, the service and ambiance is totally lovely and now they have opened a back patio. Time for me to plan a party back there for perhaps 30 friends and/or family members! Cannot wait to see how their brunch idea unfolds.

    We always love dinner at Kendall’s. The new menu is delightful and has some great new additions plus a few more vegetable options, which was much appreciated by some in our party. I had the duck confit, which was fork tender and had a good flavor. I did think, however, that it was a bit over salted. But not to the point of being displeasing. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and our server was so helpful and charming that she put the star on top of the experience. We will be returning soon.

    Comfortable and casual (with a capital "C" for each). Absolutely loved the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. -- and the choice of jazz as ambience was well chosen.
