Best Casual Restaurants in Kenmore

First time visit. Wasn’t sure what to expect. The space is unique to say the least with a split level dining room. I’d request downstairs if we go again. Kind of a modern speakeasy feel. Staff was attentive but not pesky. Food was on point. Simple menu mostly from scratch. Cocktails are on point as well. IMO it’s worth a try if you haven’t been-

Food and service was amazing, I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a new place to try

We enjoyed a family dinner for 10 people with good food and drink. The dining hall is very spacious with plenty of room for people to sit or stand and walk around. The food was delicious, especially the large hot pretzel and the sauerbraten. Service be the wait staff was attentive, pleasant. and efficient.

Decided on the Burning Buffalo for a friend meetup due to the good amount of GF options. Food and service was amazing. They had an extensive drink menu and the Paloma was spot on. We ended up ordering steak sandwiches, chicken fingers and tacos. Everyone left full and happy!

The calamari is, possibly, the best I've ever had. A light, flavourful ... I'm not going to call it a crust because it is much more delicate than that. It's not a breading either. But there is a little something on the outside of the calamari that makes it delicious. The aioli is lovely as well. Chicken schnitzel had a little too much oil on the plate, but the seasoning was spot on and every taste fantastic.
