The Kitchen Austin - Austin, Texas

The Kitchen is a beautiful, reserved, intimate place to enjoy a special night. Addi provided wonderful, attentive service and helped us decide what dinner decisions to make. Our food was perfect, drinks were above perfect, and I enjoyed my birthday dinner here to its fullest extent. Thank you Addi, thank you Chefs, and thank you The Kitchen!

Ignore the one star reviews. They’re all clearly people who have never been to the restaurant, hence no pictures or text in their reviews.

We came to check out The Kitchen as soon as we heard it was open and were not disappointed!

The atmosphere was great, all of the staff was very helpful and the food was amazing.

It’s all served family style. We had the beets, carrots, crullers, Kansas City steak and the gnocchi and semifreddo.

It was all amazing but we particularly enjoyed the beets and carrots.

The steak was very well seasoned and extremely tender.

I’d never had crullers but those were also amazing.

We’ll certainly be back for another date night soon!

I booked a reservation for 5pm on a Saturday to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. We were running a bit late so I called ahead and the hostess let me know it was not a problem at all! (turns out they open at 5 lol)

Our waiter was very attentive and did a great job answering all of our questions. The ambiance was more upscale and there was not a lot of noise so it was perfect for a catch-up session!

We had the a three course meal. For appetizers, we had the gnocchi and fries. Both were delicious and a great start to the meal but our favorite was definitely the gnocchi for the flavor and how filling it was. For the entree, we split the half-order of chicken. This was a REALLY good portion of food for the price in my opinion. (We still had leftovers after eating our share.) The chicken was juicy and paired well with the green sauce and charro beans it comes with. My cousin doesn’t usually like cilantro but she said it paired well with the chicken and wasn’t overpowering so she enjoyed it.

To finish, we had the churro doughnuts. These were definitely the cherry on top in my opinion! The doughnuts were served warm with crispy edges and the coffee ice cream it came with balanced out the sweetness of the doughnuts. DELICIOUS.

You can get the same quality of food and atmosphere at a cheaper local restaurant. It took the server 20-30 mins to take our order meanwhile the second half of the table had their order taken and received their first round of drinks.
Also be warned for larger parties: you can only split the bill evenly on multiple credit cards. $20 for an average quality glass of wine is a rip off.
+ The Indian ‘tacos’: wow - major flavor for a small bite. Felt like an entire meal in one bite however don’t advertise it as a ‘taco’ because it’s disappointing when three marble sized pops show up on a large plate.

Great dinner tonight for a business gathering. The service staff was very attentive, professional and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. From the appetizers (lettuce wrapped, crispy fish tacos, to the sliders, etc) each bite was perfect. Not to mention, consistently perfect for a large group. Dinner included a redfish, chicken dish or chimichurri beef and roasted chicken with red chili bitter. Each were delicious and I highly recommend each one, bono was particularly fond of the beef. Super tender, fantastic chimichurri and cooked to perfection. Sides were amazing and best ever carrots with whipped feta, sesame and a few other ingredients. We finished with a magical dessert called Dulce cremeux. O haven’t ever had anything like it, and I may become a dedicated dessert fan after this…. To summarize. I will be back to this under rated, creative and delicious restaurant.

We went on the first night they were taking reservations and were wildly impressed with the flavor profiles of the food. A wide breadth of options from seafood to meat to veggies and other dishes. The carrots are a can’t-miss and don’t sleep on the cabbage! The gnocchi was superb. The burrata had an amazing topping and the accompanying bread was as good as any I’ve had around the world. We sat near the open kitchen and only regret not having more room to try more dishes. The atmosphere and design are well thought out, the service is attentive but the food is the real star.

Great food meets fast service. I was delighted to see (and taste!) beautifully garnished food from all corners of Earth. Absolutely pleased with every single dish, and I can’t fathom HOW this place’s rating is merely 3.9 stars… Definitely a 5 star experience.

We had dinner on Friday night, the food and service was vey good. Our server Kyndall, was great, made good recommendations. Appetizers, cauliflower, carrots and burrata were enough for 3 of us and very good. Our entrees were crab rice, lobster rolls and mussels. Crab rice could have used more crab, but otherwise we liked it. The desserts were awesome, churro donuts and mousse dome. Definitely would come back to try other items on the menu.
