   Always a treat. Sitting at the chef's table/counter this time with my family. We had a great time and left stuffed. We had a bit of everything and everything was a treat. You could easily skip the entrees and just have the side dishes and be perfectly happy as they are awesome and unique. Watching them cook you realize they spend more time and effort toasting a piece of bread than most establishments in Old Town spend on you whole dinner. Looking forward to many more dinners over the years. The Cocktails are also top notch.

   It was pretty poor. It wasn't crowded, but our water wasn't refilled, they missed an entre so one of our guests didn't eat, and they didn't offer an alternative, and all of the staff had a bit of an attitude. There are tons of great restaurants in Alexandria. This is one we won't go back to.

   Order the Cabbage! Yes, you read that right. I don’t like cabbage, but I’m definitely coming back for their plate. Everything I thought I wouldn’t like I did like at this place. The five course meal is worth it. Get there early because of the bread once it’s gone it’s gone

   chefs counter was a total treat. We did the 5 course “surprise” tasting and every course was amazing. Only complaint is the bar stools weren’t comfortable or easy to move around.

   We spent $300 on this dinner which was just okay. The bread and desserts were lovely but the main courses (pork and steak) were very disappointing. For the price, I wanted to love everything we ate.

   We waited over two hours for food. Would not recommend.

   Hi Rushton, Sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us. We normally do not accommodate parties of over 6 guests in the dining room due to the stress that it puts on our small kitchen, however we did not want to turn you and your group away when you went up in size. Please let me know if you are open to trying us again with a smaller group so that we can show you a better experience Thank you Liz Martinez General Manager/Sommelier

   I had a delicious meal at Kiln with a group of friends. Each dish was better than the next. The sweet potatoes, the beet salad, the chicken were divine. The staff was professional. Can’t wait to go again!

    This was our first trip to KILN and we were very happy with our experience. We did the chef's tasting menu, which is a "surprise" 5/6 course meal that the chef dictates to you. We LOVED that idea and the food was amazing. The service was a bit spotty at times, with the food coming out without a proper explanation, particularly given the fact that we did not know what we had ordered because of the "surprise". However, since the restaraunt is new, and the staff are getting their legs under them, it wasn't a big deal and we will DEFINITELY be back. Chef Matt came over a few times to deliver courses himself, and it was fun to get to talk with him about his vision and inspiration for both his dishes and the restaraunt as a whole.

Betty W.
