Food was OK, not great. Same for service. Seems like this place isn't as good as it used to be, or we were just there on a bad night.

The restaurant was very busy. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious! We shared a wedge salad which was still huge even though we had shared it! The shrimp and sausage risotto and short rib were amazing! Huge servings!

We had some issues with our orders. Even though we explained allergies and sensitivity to peppers and pepper, the vegetables had both in them. The waitress apologized and blamed the kitchen. Also, salmon was ordered for the Caesar salad and shrimp was served. A piece of salmon was provided when we told them if the problem. One issue was inconvenient, the other could be dangerous. I have eaten at Kin many times and enjoy it. However, communication needs to be better. Blaming the kitchen isn’t professional or helpful.

We were really excited to try Kin because it was close to our hotel and the menu looked great. It took awhile before we were able to place our order for a bottle of wine and our entrees. We received our entrees and halfway through our meal we received our bottle of wine. The food was delicious but the service was poor.

Second time dining at KIN and this time was lunch with friends. GREAT service from a friendly team who were doing all the things: Service, running food, slinging drinks. They made it seem effortless and were so friendly along the way. We shared the wings (Hawaiian are great) and the crab dip. Delish. Burgers were throroughly enjoyed and love a salad with warm (not cold) chicken. Great cocktails and draught beers. Wine list is approachable if not terribly local. Look forward to returning!

Food was really good thought the New York steak left me thinking it was very bland on flavor, but the crab dip, caesar salad and shrimp pasta dish were really good. Service was excellent

We had the beet salad, the prosciutto and peach pizza, and the seasonal berry crumble for dessert. The food was fresh and delicious and our server was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend Kin and return in the future!
