   I went for the special 3-course Christmas Day menu. The staff provides excellent service without being overbearing.

   Christmas Eve menu was really odd. They were out of the main two dishes. There was also no dessert on the menu or available on Christmas Eve! If there is ever a time you’re going to have dessert, it’s a holiday meal. The food quality was terrible. Disappointing.

   Good afternoon, sorry to hear that your visit was disappointing. We were all generally surprised that the supplemental dishes went as fast as they did too. Many apologies. Hopefully you will give us another chance and come in for our regular menu soon. Happy Holidays from the team at KILN

   Went for a Christmas Eve themed dinner. The concept was intriguing- inspired by the Christmas Story movie. Restaurant was cozy. The open restaurant set up was interesting. Service was good. Food just was a miss. Too many strong flavors and it felt that the flavors of different dishes clashed.

   I loved the open kitchen concept. Cooking of a wood burning oven was a must to see. We stared with the oysters. They were fresh and delicious. I had the steak and it was fantastic and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend it. If you want to start off with a cocktail, you can do so in the adjoining hotel level.
