Best Cozy Restaurants in Kensington

We ordered the bucatini, pesto gnocchi, fried chicken sandwich, lasagna all of which were fantastic! Highly recommend this spot! The staff was also extremely friendly and helped us celebrate a birthday and anniversary! Will definitely be coming back! I would suggest making a dinner reservation in advance for a table inside the ambience is so cozy and vibrant.

Amazing food with perfect execution and creative vibrancy. Great service paired with warm ambience enhanced our experience even more. Our favorite was the grilled pork with braised savoy cabbage, chanterelles, and pear purée. Perfectly juicy and seasoned, paired with the right amount of sweetness, acidity, and umami. Churros were also the best and most unique ones. They were slightly custardy in the middle and served with a rich and sweet/savory miso caramel sauce.

Acre is an amazing restaurant. It’s a rare gem where the execution across the board is outstanding. It consistently delivers excellent food in a great atmosphere with top notch service. I’ve been for a casual night with friends to an anniversary dinner and it was perfect for both- a great time with fantastic food!

Still too noisy but delicious! I tried the lobster croquettes with the lemon curd aioli. Wonderful.

We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday with a brunch. Twelve happy and well-fed people! We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed incredible food, a jazz ensemble, and a wonderful ambiance. We loved the ricotta pancakes, shrimp toast, and huevos rancheros. Everything was perfect!!
