The Kitchen

This was a welcome surprise. The Kitchen may be in an unexpected place, but I am sooo glad I found it! As a frequent visitor - my 14th time - I am on the lookout for new places, and asked the concierge what was new. She suggested The Kitchen, and I am glad she did. I ate the escargot appetizer, served in a tasty sauce on its own small loaf of bread. Then the Salmon, done exactly right, moist and flaky, on a bed of veggies. Served with rice, potatoes, and black beans on the side. I dumped the rice onto the plate to help absorb the sauce that the salmon was in - didn't want it to go to waste! Last was a coconut mousse, a perfect ending to a delightful meal. No service charge here, either. The total? a mere $25.00, to which I added what I wanted to, 20%, not what I was told to add. The service was sincere and enjoyable; my glass was kept filled without asking, and questions were answered promptly. I highly recommend this place for any night, any group.

We love The Kitchen and its wood fired grill! The menu is extensive - black angus steak, poultry, fish (including sushi)... and their prices are very reasonable. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It's a great place to eat lunch or dinner. We also had terrific take out meals from there. .

We visited The Kitchen last night for the first time. It is a take-out restaurant located on the street behind Certified Mall. I was impressed by the simplicity of the place, the cleanliness, and the open kitchen. The staff were friendly, attentive, and willing to answer any questions. The menu is clear and straightforward. It is vey clean and all of the items in the salad cooler were clearly fresh and presented well. There were four of us and we each had a different meal, although we all started with the same salad. Each couple split a Greek Salad, and it was plenty for two. The salad was fresh and full of olives, feta, and tomatoes. One person had the angus burger, and it was the biggest burger I have ever seen in my life ($7). It was served on two huge slices of bread and was covered in sauteed mushrooms and onions, and it was described as "excellent" and "amazing." Another person had the farfalle bolognese ($9), which was also very good. One person had the surf and turf (the same person who had the surf and turf at Amadeus the night before), and she was very impressed with it ($14). The meat (which I sampled) was incredibly tender and very well seasoned, although it was sliced. There were twice as many shrimp as she received at Amadeus, they were cooked perfectly, and the surf and turf was approximately US $13 less than the preceding evening. I had the Grouper Milano, and it was very tasty ($10.50). The sauce was light and not overpowering, and the fish was cooked perfectly. The grouper and the surf and turf both came with sides of vegetables, rice, pan-fried potatoes, and Brazillian black beans. The sides alone would have easily been enough food for a meal, and they were very good as well. We did not have any desserts. We did, however, have a bottle of wine. Our dinner for two, WITH a bottle of wine, was $40. On a scale of 1 to 10 for value, I wish I could give it a 13. All in all, we were very impressed with The Kitchen and are all looking forward to going back! (I think we may all order the burger next time because it was so good!)
