    Whipped feta
    Trang L.

    I'm not necessarily a brunch person and I in know this place is pretty popular for that but they actually have their dinner items available which was nice. I ordered the miso salmon and it was really good - everything was seasoned so well that I enjoyed the cauliflower (which I usually hate). Really nice flavor, salmon cooked perfectly. I also ordered the whipped feta for the table and it was good, but nothing amazing. Service was quick and really attentive. Definitely would come back here and they were very toddler friendly too!

    Twin Fillets
    Daniel T.

    The Twin Filets were absolutely outstanding. Both filets were cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor with a beautiful char on the outside. The Peruvian steak jus elevated the dish, adding a rich, savory depth that complemented the beef without overpowering it. The roasted potatoes and carrots were perfectly caramelized and flavorful, while the sugar snap peas added a fresh, crisp contrast. The roasted tomatoes brought a touch of sweetness and acidity that tied everything together beautifully. Every component on the plate was well-executed and balanced. From presentation to flavor, this was a restaurant-quality meal that exceeded expectations. Easily a 5/5 and a dish I would order again without hesitation. Highly recommended!

    Mimosa Flight. Orange, Pineapple and Mango/Cherry.
    Mesy D.

    Made an impromptu reservation for brunch. I've visited several times, I think the Happy Hour is one of the best deals in the city. This was my first time for brunch. The service was great as always. Food quality on point. Mimosa flight, yes! I rarely order chicken and waffles but this day I did. The chicken was seasoned well and so dang tender! All the food we saw looked delicious. Nice brunch choice.

    Fish and chips
    Joanne T.

    I'm usually skeptical about restaurants that have a large menu and serve a variety of cuisines, but we did not have one bad dish out of our group of 5. The shrimp and grits were rich and flavorful. The fish and chips were fried well and delicious. No complaints about the service. Highly recommend!

    Carrot hummus
    Kyle B.

    Went to kitchen social a couple weeks ago for lunch. Business was booming which was good to see. We sat at the bar. Service was kind of strange. Food came pretty fast but the mixed up our order. They brought the ceasar salad out instead of the salad we actually ordered. When we told them, they brought out the correct salad. But then they charged us for both salads. Carrot hummus was bomb. That's a must order. We asked for extra pita to take home with our leftover and it took forever for that to come out. Lots of parking and tvs. Good music. Pretty place.

    Amazing food. Drink was ok... service excellent! The fries were delicious and crispy thin

    Street corn nachos (soooo good)
    Erin E.

    Pro tip- you can call them and make a reservation! They don't take them online (at the time of this review). Plenty of free parking in nearby garages. Came on a busy Friday night and had a reservation. They were slammed and couldn't sit us for 25 min. They ended up giving us a free starter of our choice for the wait. So nice of them. We all loved our food and the service was great. Their food has great flavor! Fun spot.

    Crème brûlée French toast
    Eljay C.

    BOMB DOT COM! This place had a great vibe to it. The food was delicious and the service was great. I ordered the cinnabuiscuits (I believe that's what they were) which were good but a little dry. I should've asked for butter. That would've fixed it lol. The eggplant dish that was tomato based w/ some type of curry smell was good. I also tried the shrimp and grits that were bomb AF, chicken and waffles were super tender just needed a little more syrup for the waffles, and crème brûlée French toast and were phenomenal too. If you haven't been to this place, this should be your next stop for brunch!

    Blackened Shrimp Capellini
    Joey S.

    I came here with my best friend, we parked on the street, walked in and was greeted immediately. We were seated. Reviewed the menu and then I asked for a recommendation which I ordered. The biscuits and the blackened shrimp. The food was wonderful and the service was very good. The places is extremely clean and inviting. I enjoyed the food and of course the coffee I ordered to drink. I will say this is restaurant is a very pleasant surprise and I will be back. My friend lives near by so I am sure this will be a new place to eat. Highly recommend.

    My husband got the pimento burger & fries, he loved it! I got the salmon Mediterranean bowl & I enjoyed it. We went at peak time so it was busy & honestly loved the vibe of the bar and decor. Service was still super quick :)

    Turtle sundae from the gf menu
    April B.

    Made a reservation late afternoon for the same day. Definitely recommend a reservation, particularly on a weekend. The place was very busy and even with the reservation we had a wait. It was also pretty loud but we were seated behind the bar where it was much quieter. We enjoyed the tuna bowl and twin filets as well as a couple desserts. Food was pretty good and we'd definitely by this spot again. Our server was responsive helpful.

    Crispy Thai Shrimp
    Mari B.

    The food is absolutely delicious. Lots of variety and everything is fresh and customizable... service is good and the feel is pretty welcoming. Been there a couple of times and never felt rushed or like we were inconveniencing them. It's nice and cozy!

    One of My Favorite Spots in Cincinnati! The Kitchen Social is easily one of my favorite places to eat in Cincinnati. I recently took my coworker there for lunch, and she loved it just as much as I do! The food is consistently amazing--especially the salads and sandwiches. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The flavors are spot-on, and the whole vibe is just so enjoyable. Not to forget the staff--always friendly, attentive, and accommodating. They truly add to the great atmosphere and overall experience.

    Are your eggplant meatballs vegetarian?

    Yes. Vegetarian, but there is a little bit of parmesan cheese in the arugula pesto that goes on top so they are not vegan. Lastly, they are delicious.

The bakery is owned by Chako, and she does such an amazing job with every pastry and dish. I've been getting her cakes for my birthday every year growing up, especially the matcha and strawberry cakes, and they've always been a favorite of mine. Later on, I started bringing new friends here for brunch because they have a hidden café room in the back. It's filled with lots of local artwork that's actually for sale, and the art changes every time I visit, which makes each visit feel a little different. The owner is always so positive, and I really love the energy of the staff. The food is always fresh since everything is made to order. If you're looking for homey, comforting food that isn't too pricey, this is definitely the spot. Nothing overly complicated or extravagant--just authentic, comforting food done well.

I also bought some pastries while picking up the cake. They were delicious as well. They were the typical pastries you'd get at an Asian bakery. The chicken Kara-age was also good. If I'm in the Cincinnati area and there's a special occasion, I would definitely come back! Chako was really friendly.
