If you're looking for a classy dining experience in Cleveland, one place that needs to be on your list is Kiln on the East Side. We stopped in for a celebratory dinner and were impressed by the ambiance and the variety of goodies on the menu. We started with a Kiln #3 and a Kiln #6 for drinks, followed by some popovers with homemade butter and berry preserves, and a bibb salad. But my favorite was the roasted candy striped beets (beets with passion fruit, blackberries, sumac, mint and almonds) along with the stuffed cabbage (kasha, eggplant, mushrooms, caraway, tomato-cashew sauce). An arctic char was the fish of the day, providing the protein and umami for the meal. And finally, a baked alaska for dessert (pistachio cake, cherry jam and vanilla ice cream). Wow, that was good. Shout out to Schuyler, our server who dutifully walked us through the menu and helped us pick fantastic dishes! If you're looking for fantastic food in Cleveland, get yourself to Kiln ASAP!
Top notch service, everyone is very nice and friendly. They offer great recommendations and answered my questions on protein sizes and things. The vibe in here is great and the nice touches are lovely. Like a post card and mini cookies at the end of the meal was a sweet gesture. Popovers: buttery, crispy, light. So good! Especially with the whipped butter and strawberry preserves was tasty Mushroom tartlets: crispy pastry, rich and savory mushrooms, cheesey top, super good! And rich. So even 1-2 of these is the right amount for me. Arctic char: nice crispy skin, tender fish, good portion size. I would get this same meal again! But I also want to try all the other things they offer... A dilemma.
Delicious unique and artisanal small plates in a fine dining atmosphere. Fried chicken livers were perfectly crispy and had a highly complementary couple of sweet cherries and bacon pieces on the bottom. The Parisian potatoes were basically hash brown balls with an interesting sort of smoky cumin tasting barbecue sauce? The mushroom tartlets were both adorable and delicious. Lightly savory little quiche type pies. The popovers were beautiful and flavorful as well. Nice and lightly crispy with a delicious strawberry jam. The baked Alaska was beautiful and flavorful. Lots of pistachios and delicious ice cream within. The kiln #2 was a very sweet tequila Serrano pepper drink. No real spice but lots of sugar and unique flavor to that degree. Incredible smoothness.
Came on a Saturday night for dinner. Walked in a little before 5pm and was seated immediately. Ordered the popovers, mushroom tartlets, braised beef meatballs, stuffed cabbage, and baked alaska. It was the first time I ever had poppers and it certainly won't be the last. I loved the airy buttery bread and it came with butter and jam--great starter. I can see why the mushroom tartlets are popular, flavorful with a good mixture of textures. The braised beef meatballs ($18) were tender, well-seasoned. The stuffed cabbage ($24) was interesting and sharable (4 pieces). The baked alaska ($19) was also a first for me. It was very aesthetically pleasing with the torched meringue and I loved seeing all of the layers-meringue, ice cream, berry, cake . Definitely a dish worthy for celebratory occasions. They were all great dishes. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the braised beef meatballs. But honorable mention is the baked alaska for its impressive appearance. Service was fantastic--friendly and very attentive. At the end we got two small oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, compliments of the kitchen--loved them! Parking available via street parking or at Van Aken parking garage (free). Definitely will consider coming back.
I wanted to try this restaurant out in the Van Aken district. We ended up going Saturday night, and it wasn't too difficult to find parking with a lot and a parking garage nearby. I was able to call the restaurant about 30 minutes before getting there to make a reservation so that was definitely a little surprising. After getting there, we were seated pretty quickly and met our hostess. We started out with some drinks after getting recommendations. I got a Kiln No. 7 and my girlfriend got a Kiln No. 6. We also got Stuffed Cabbage, Ricotta Dumplings, and PEI Mussels. Kiln No. 6 (3/5): My girlfriend's drink wasn't the best for me. It had an odd cinnamon aftertaste. If you know me, I don't really like cinnamon. Kiln No. 7 (5/5): I enjoyed this drink. It was sweet but it was also tart. Ricotta Dumplings (4/5): The dumplings were nice and dense and could easily mop up the lemon pesto sauce. For me, it was way too bright and lemony. My girlfriend seemed to enjoy it though. I could probably eat an entire tray of this. Stuffed Cabbage (4/5): The filling was nice and the dish was cooked properly. I just wish we had more for what we paid for. Mussels (4/5): The broth was divine. Honestly, I could eat a bowl of that with the bread. We both thought the char was nice as it added some flavor, but were disappointed that it was tough. It made it very difficult to enjoy the mussels. I wasn't even able to cut it with my silverware. We also received a postcard and chocolate chip cookies at the end of our meal. We enjoyed our experience here, and plan to visit the other restaurants owned by this group - Zhug and Amba.
This time our experience was average. Now, to be fair, we only tried 3 appetizers and one dessert but all 4 were average - i would put them all the category "I will try once but not worth ordering again"
Kiln was a must try with as yet another Doug Katz restaurant. While the restaurant upheld his eye for interior design and cocktails the food lacked imagination and felt like upscale versions of home cooking with not enough flare to make you leave home. The meatballs were done up ikea meatballs, with an overprocessed texture and missing taste. The vegetable tian is a fancy word for a ratatouille but the dish didn't live up to the fanciness of the name. I won't go on, the food was edible and played with texture and color as we know Katz to do best, but his keen palate for spice blends and flavors was missing from this "regional classic" theme that might have been fitting. I'd go back for the baked alaska (hands down) and cocktails, nothing more.
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Kiln! The ambiance is the perfect ambiance for a romantic dinner date or a special occasion dinner. The prices are very reasonable, and their menu has a wide variety of flavors. The portions were also suprisingly generous and we left very full. We shared 6 dishes altogether, which they recommend eating family/tapas style. We loved how they focused on locally and ethically sourced ingredients. Their menu rotates so we're excited so sample new items on our next visit!
A move up slightly bigger, more American plates from the restaurant group behind Zhug and Amba. Some of the best cocktails in Cleveland in a really lovely space. Nothing is ostentatious, everything is muted and good looking. The food has highs and lows, the ricotta dumplings were fine, the popovers were one of my favorite bites of the year, the lamb and Arctic char just didn't do it for me. Service is kind and caring, but not over the top. If you want to impress this isn't the Marble room, if you're looking to save money this isn't Zhug or Amba, but if you're looking for a good meal at a decent price point this delivers.
After a tiny bit of confusion while attempting to secure a reservation we visited Kiln in Shaker Hts. on Saturday night. Upon arrival a very professional women at the door straightened out the reservation confusion and promptly seated us at a nice table in the downstairs dining room. NOTE: the website seems to indicate you can show up without a reservation. They will have seating on the second floor. However, it neglects to mention, without a reservation you will most likely be seated outside. After being seated a very pleasant young lady by the name of Helen greeted us, informed us she would be our server for the evening and proceeded to take our drink order. The wine list is quite limited in scope. As a matter of fact, it was mostly made up of California and Ohio wines. With a smattering of European offerings. Never the less, Helen was very kind and attentive. She took our order and left us a few moments to review the menu. If you enjoy the "Tapas" (sharable small plates) style of dining you will definitely enjoy this menu. The vast majority of it is made up of an array of small plates. Quite diverse in it's selections. As a matter of fact, of the 26 offerings, only 4 could be considered a true entrée. 1 chicken, 1 fish, 1 beef, and 1 lamb. Well I enjoy the sharable small plate style of dining. And we proceeded to order 10 different items from the many interesting offerings. I got so involved in the meal I only remembered to photograph 4 of them. The majority were very good. I loved the "Roasted Candy Striped Beets" as well as the "Eggs Mayonnaise"... they were marvelous. The "Braised Beef Meatballs" were very interesting. I didn't think I would enjoy a meatball made with only one type of meat but they were quite flavorful. I could have done without the "Croquettes" (dry) and the vegan "Stuffed Cabbage" (bland - no flavor). But, all in all, we had a pleasant meal. After our meal we enjoyed a strong but good cup of coffee along with the "Dark Chocolate Whipped Ganache" with raspberries, agave, and cardamom... excellent combination. Throughout the evening Helen along with her backup singers did an exemplary job. She was always there when we needed her without hovering over us. I definitely recommend you give this establishment a visit. Try as much of the menu as possible. I think you will have a positive experience. Buon appetito!
This is a Doug Katz restaurant situated on a corner. Signage is not well visible. Our friend had difficulty finding Kiln. "Kiln" is on the window glass. We walked in with the hostess, and loved the contemporary decor and high ceiling, and the overall vibe. The waiter explained that the plates were shareable. Having three people he suggested five to seven plates would be appropriate for a nice dinner. All plates were delicious and filling. The poppers were a sweet bread that was a treat. We chose the beef tips, which were large cuts. The chicken livers were crispy and delicious. The calamari was thankfully not breaded. The cabbage rolls were plentiful. The ham croquettes were good with the scalloped potatoes. Even the red blend wine was nice with our food selection. The meal ended with two bite cookies. Interesting was that the kitchen brought out the plates in an appropriate order--salads, veggies, meats. We had plenty of good food. I took a small amount of leftovers home for lunch. The restaurant has a ramp for easy accessibility. A free parking garage is across the street. Recommend for a wonderful time.
Came here for dinner on a Monday with a reservation and it was packed! We were seated promptly at a corner table. My immediate impression was that the tables were quite cramped , with the room appearing as if they tried to fit as many tables as possible. Once seated, our server came by soon after and offered us menus and help with any questions. Very friendly and attentive! The menu was expansive, but I would have to say not as many dishes piqued my interest as did the menus at Doug Katz's other restaurants. We ordered 6 dishes for our party of 2 as per our servers recommendations and left stuffed! The popovers, cabbage rolls, and steak tips were delicious! The fried chicken livers were a bit heavy and overly rich and needed something to refresh the palate a bit more between bites. I also thought the cocktail menu lacked creativity, which I guess is reasonable since the menu seems to be highlighting wines over cocktails. Overall, the dining experience was satisfying and our servers were great! The ambiance was mid, and the menu doesn't beg me to come back too soon.
Came on a Thursday evening and were promptly seated for two without a reservation There is seating inside and in a patio, and free parking in the garage Our eyes were larger than our stomachs, but we enjoyed the family-style format of the menu The mushroom tarts were rich and savory with the cheese crust that was nice and crispy The country fried chicken liver was a fun alternative to the usual chicken liver mousse. While still served with tart cherries, the crispy breading was perfect. Kale salad was seasonal and all the components melded well, from the tart fruit to the light vinaigrette The highlight was the black cod, which was buttery soft and only further enhanced by the smooth beurre Blanc. Decadent but still balanced!! Looking forward to their next menu change :) read more

We came here for Valentine's Day because of a recommendation from a friend. The restaurant was very cute inside and offered low lighting giving an intimate vibe. Perfect for a date night! Plateware was also adorable. We tried a little of everything as they have a lot of shared plates available. We also tried the baked Alaska which we heard they are known for! It was a bit sweet for my liking BUT still delicious. The broccolini had mini lemon things on it which were delicious and paired perfect with the veggie. Our server was attentive and checked on us often. If their menu rotates, we will be back to try new items...as we tried just about everything they offer. read more

Make a reservation, this place is still new and popular! Nice minimalist classy modern vibes. I love that they have regular tables and also some booth seatings (the booth creates more romantic vibes but also a little bit more casual and comfy which i was a huge fan of). Our absolute favorites were the popovers and mushroom tartlets. The popovers were light and airy and had a good crunch but soft inside. The buttery and jam with it was a perfect bite. Must get. The mushrooms were savory and created a perfect bite with the puff pastry and I could've eaten the whole plate myself! The ricotta dumplings are creative and I enjoy the pine nuts with it, however it really is quite dense. I was good with having tried it but probably won't order again unless I come with a big group. We didn't finish it. The squash could have had a little bit more flavor and I expected it to be more creamy but it was quite stringy which is fine but did surprise me (maybe it included the center piece of the squash) Did not enjoy the baked Alaska dessert but it was the first time I've ever tried one. The cake was rock hard and the flavors didn't seem to mesh well. I was excited to order it because of the pistachios but since the cake is half the dish we could barely eat it. Overall we enjoyed the ambiance and had great service and loved the creative menus. Will definitely come back and reorder some of the same dishes but not all. read more

The ambiance is so beautiful. The layout of the restaurant, the music, lighting and decor sets a smooth atmosphere. Our server Dylan was amazing and a joy to our table. We celebrated my 40th birthday at Kiln while visiting from Miami, I brought my family and friends with me. We tried many things on the menu. Lamb chicken steak potatoes fish, was all beautifully prepared however most things lacked salt and were just bland. Outside of the mushroom tarte and meatballs (that were exceptional) most things were just ok. I ordered a cake with my dinner from Luna that they brought out frozen which is a big no no especially considering the $60 price tag for a mini cake it should've been ready for my party to consume. I'm guessing it would've been amazing if it were room temp and sliceable. It was pleasant and beautiful, but I'm not sure I'll return. read more

First time here and we were immediately greeted with a smile from the hostess as well as an offer to check our coats. We sat upstairs (which I preferred based on appeal) and noticed an expansive and attractive outdoor area to dine during the warm weather months. The lighting was perfect and the soft music really set the tone for the experience ahead. Our waitress was very helpful with answering our questions as well has recommending some of her favorites. We began with an order of Popovers served with strawberry jam and soft butter and Mushroom Tartlet. The popovers were very light, airy, and delicate. Mushroom tartlets had great flavor but the chive overpowered any mushroom flavor. I would order both again. Mussels in a tomato sauce and grilled bread were next. Each mussel tasted fresh and were all open. The bread was a bit too crispy for my liking but the sauce made up for it. The sauce was very garlicky and silky and a perfect way to soften the crispy bread. Don't let the fennel on the menu dissuade you from this dish as my wife and I did not taste any hint of fennel in our sauce. Next were Ricotta Dumplings, Broccolini, and Steak Tips. Ricotta dumplings were served in a pesto sauce that was phenomenal. Perfect ratio of garlic and basil as well as a hint of lemon. The dumplings were great but a little doughy (reminiscent of a gnocchi). Broccolini was served with fig, kumquat, and almonds. The broccolini itself was not a home run until you combined it with the kumquat, fig, and almonds. One of the least favorite dishes was the steak tips. This was served with pearl onion, carrot, and a burgundy jus. Our particular steak was overcooked and underseasoned. Because of this and the minimal amount of sauce, this dish ate drier than you would expect. Baked Alaska was our dessert and this was our least favorite of the evening. The dessert presented well but was underwhelming. Under the mound of whipped cream and ice cream, the cake was somehow dry and crumbly. I would not order this again. Kiln was wonderful and the service was top notch. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu. read more

Feels like Fire is back! Doug Katz goes back to the roots with this one and yet serves a fresh menu (with several vegan and vegetarian options). We had a really good meal, the space is cool and gives off definite Fire vibes in the best way, without it ever feeling unoriginal. Great drinks. Our server was good as well. I can't wait for them to start brunch! read more

Just had the most wonderful birthday dinner at Kiln! Mushroom tartlets and mussels were the highlight of the meal for me. The arctic char underwhelmed, being somewhat bland. But the baked Alaska is better than any I can remember from childhood. Very well balanced with the cake, jam, and nuts. And the Pinot Noir was beautiful. Our server (Landon?) was impeccable. Thank you! read more

Doug Katz can't be beat! Kiln was an incredible expansion to the already great restaurants, Zhug & Amba. We started with the Juliep & Bubbly with the popovers. You would do yourself a disservice not getting the popovers. We then had the chicken, braised greens and butternut squash. All fantastic. Saving dessert for next time but already looking forward to the Baked Alaska. Service was great, and quick. Ambiance was nice and the upstairs bar was even better! Will be back. read more

This might be my new favorite restaurant in Cleveland. Chef Doug Katz never disappoints and I love how in any of his restaurants, I always see him interacting with customers and that goes a long way. The space is beautiful, upstairs is gorgeous as well, service fantastic, and every single thing we ordered on the menu was absolutely delicious. We ordered the bibb salad, mushroom tartlets, ricotta dumplings, soup bread, pop overs, vegetable tian, steak bites, and Parisienne potatoes and would recommend all of it. read more
