    Went to KILN for New Years eve, where they had a fixed price 5 course tasting menu. Everything was very unique and we had a great time trying new dishes. They even accommodated a food sensitivity within the tasting menu. Highly recommend.

    Consistently incredible! It is palate pleasing food that is approachable. The crispy pork could be considered addictive.

    We went for the Christmas dinner which provided prime rib as it's main course. It was nice, the food good, the service good, nothing great. It was a pre fix meal but we felt for what we got it was overpriced - I guess you pay more for a place for being open on Christmas.

    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.
    KILNResponded 7 days ago
    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.
