The Caesar salad was wonderful, and the strawberry shortcake was the best I've ever had. A delightful place, with attentive staff and little ottomans for your purse! read more

Hostess was very nice and got us a great table. Service was great, ordered a delicious bottle of Pinot Grigio. Was not happy with the food at all. The fish seemed frozen and the sides were pitiful. The coconut cake sounded good, tasted ok..I'm 90% sure it's Betty crocker box mix read more

Didn't realize that Vagabondi had closed. Went to the location and found Kitchen instead. The place is small and pleasant, so not much changes were made. The owner is the chef and the wife was the maitre d. The service staff needs training but were pleasant. The menu didnt seem to be much different than Vagabondi. I had the duck ragu. the pasta was cooked beautifully but the duck ragu was a bit disappointing. It didnt have the soft rich flavor I was expecting from slow cooked duck. My friend had the burger. I had a bite and it was excellent. the hint of truffle oil was nice. read more

a girlfriend of mine introduced me to this place last night. my husband and i are foodies from Manhattan so i was not looking to be completely taken by surprise like i was. This truly is a gem--the people are delightful. the decor is amazing. the food will keep you talking long after leaving the restaurant. the ingredients are fresh and the wine menu has wonderful choices. the owner brought us over a slice of the coconut cake since we ordered the sampler of desserts instead. i am telling you, i hate coconut and i STILL walked away with an empty plate from the cake! it is delish! very sweet for her to bring it to us. the wait staff anticipates needs and more people should know about this place. i cant wait to take my husband here. read more

Hits and misses. Beet salad and Bronzino were 5-star. Buratta salad was light on buratta, and the schnitzel needs aioli for balance and the egg, so trendy in today's fare, was not an exciting addition.Dessert was outstanding in all respects, loved the chocolate pudding pie and creme brulee. Service was impeccable but the server blushed and was genuinely uncomfortable when I asked for a refill on coffee and she informed me it would be another charge as each cup is pressed to order. OK, I've had fancy "french press" coffee to order, and it's great but the restaurant brings you the press, and you generally get 12-15oz. of coffee out of it. Kitchen serves you a very small cup; I'd estimate 4oz at most and $3.50! Guys: rethink the coffee service/portion. I drop $150/couple; you don't want to end the meal on our sour note.

My experience was really poor, while the service was on point the quality and the food was below the average. Our fish was overcooked and the outdoor experience was overrated. read more

Restaurant was very small clean and neat. Staff was pleasant and prompt. Unfortunately the food it self did not meet the expectation. We had to wait for a while to get a reservation because the place is always booked. the salad was blend felt like no dressing on it at all. My steak was cooked to the right temperature but for a filet mignon it was chewy and lacked flavor. The chicken schnitzel was in word "blend". Unfortunately not one item was out of ordinary and for the price definately not worth it... read more

Before I get to the food, we made Open Table reservation, arrive and find outcome, by our mistake, made it for place of same name in " Boston" !! Well, they were crowded but found us a table.Well done. By the way Our dinners were wonderful. Only neg on this place is the location with a small parking lot. read more

Impeccable food and personable service. When food is this good, who cares if you are sitting next to a parking lot (as you will be if you are seated on the patio). A true celebration of local food. Refined, earthy, elegant dishes. Easily the best fish I had in Palm beach. Loved that my entree came with two sides of my choice, allowing me to stick to my gluten free diet. read more

Went last night, won't go back. Everything was "fine". Here's the problem....they are totally unaccommodating, and the cost is basically $100/person. Too many other places to try in the area. Examples: I'll put the last one first, because it was the clincher as to our decision:check was on the table, sipping coffee, asked for a little refill of one of the coffees, and the server actually took back the ($400) check to charge for another coffee, seriously?? Early on we asked for bread when ordering the wine, hostess said they don't give bread "yet"...really? We ordered a salad to split as an appetizer, kitchen didn't split it, and server gave us a tiny bread plate to split ourselves, really? One of the orders came out wrong, sweet potato was on the plate, was ordered without it, server said sorry, but it stayed on the plate. OK Kitchen, do it your way, but you won't see us again. read more

Simple but tasty food, good service and great desserts. Lacks ambiance but the place is great

Worst experience ever. Terribly rude. Don't go here unless you want to be treated badly.

We were a party of 6 that truly enjoyed our dinner. Service was excellent which added to the dinning experience. Frankly I am surprised by the few negative reviews and would not hesitate to return. read more

Please do not go to this place simply because you are craving for cocoanut cake! Because I did. Regrets, yes! On Saturday night, after booking in advance for a reservation where I was told it would be in the restaurant's patio, we found out "not". It was a table sitting on the edge of a common concrete walkway, or what is commonly known as a "sidewalk". We were right next to the cars driving up and down the asphalt driveway. How not conducive! Nevermind, right? We were there for the foods, so we thought. The first mistake was we did not ordered starters, the server made it a point to let us know, the kitchen was busy, without starters you'd probably have to wait for half an hour or more. How arrogant, like as if we are hillbillies and have never eater at these foodies' places. We remained patience and asked for some bread while my partner enjoyed his wine, and me with my regular water. It took them just as long to get the Kitchen"s four "thinner than Melba Toast" toasts out as with our main course. I mean seriously, who would have thought bread at Kitchen that supposedly is famed for American fares would present dinner guests with 1.5" x 2" x .25" thick slices of bread. Within minutes after the toasts, my fettuccine con Florida rock shrimp came, my partner's dish was the veal ragout over arborio rice. Arugula piled up so high on both dishes that when I first saw the plates I thought the Kitchen made a mistake, and gave us two salads. Nevermind, we are here for the foods, let's eat away. Wow, between the overpowering arugula and the can-like pasta sauce, my two little pieces of gritty shrimp (no joke), my dish was nothing more than mediocre to say the least. My partner's veal ragout dish was not any better or outstanding, did not taste like veal meat. Instead the veal here has the same texture as chuck meat (maybe overcoooked), who knows! Ahhh! The moment we have waited for, THE COCOANUT CAKE! Just two layers of white cake, the flavor of cocoanut was limited and not infused into the cake. Enough, next time I need to really satisfy my craving I'll go somewhere else. We will have to go back to The Woods soon after this lack lustre meal/deal. Yvonne G. read more

Is this place real? These guys have Perfected the art of upscale casual. Came here my second night in WPB desperate for some real food after driving in a moving van with two parrots for three days. It was beyond difficult to find anything edible on the road and I think I was starting to shut down. Not knowing exactly what to expect, we kind of just showed up on a Monday evening right around dinnertime looking like we had spent the day unpacking. The place was busy and getting busier! We had to park across the street at the oil change place. Hubby poked me cause I had told him not to bother with reservations. They were indeed booked, I was about to cry looking at all the happy looking patrons on the delightful patio and about to kick myself for not making a reservation when to my delight, they offered to seat us in their lounge area. It was similar to bar seating, but there isn't a true bartender, so we were still able to have a dining experience. I'm surely grateful they have this area because otherwise we would have missed out on trying this gem while my company was still in from Philly. We were greeted by the chef/owner's wife, who turns out is a Philly girl too! I had a glass of red, hubby had an Amstel, Fritz didn't have a Bloody Mary (beer and wine only). We had some starters, delish! I was in the mood for steak, so I ordered the NYStrip. Hubby got a Super Amazing! grass fed burger with fois gras and all kinds of yummy stuff on it that I'm definitely getting next time no matter what. Fritz had the fish. Everything we had for our meal was as fresh as can be, perfectly prepared, and it tasted that way. I appreciated the cauliflower and brussels sprouts. 'Tis the season! ...And about the FRENCH FRIES....hmmmm...the fries. Words do no justice. All I can say is go there and have them. Until you do, you won't know. I almost missed out because I avoid fries like the plague, they were never my thing anyway, but something told me this would be worth the calories. I planned on having one, ended up having a few, can imagine myself getting old and fat and happy sitting in a pile of these delightful, light, crispy....but not THAT happy, so back to Earth. On Earth, it's time for desert, so we got 2! We're celebrating not being a part of the snow where we came from, so why not have some flourless chocolate cake and famous house specialty coconut cake. Vino, carne, pom frittes, why not add white flour and sugar rrrrush to your list? Again, something told me this would be worth the calories. The stars were aligned, the time was right, we were in the mood, and we didn't regret a thing. Came back for more for lunch the next day, but they are only open for dinner! This will not be a one night stand, but next time, we WILL be making reservations! read more

The food was great. Our group came in 5 cars. We got a shake down from the valet. "Take care of me now and I'll put your car in this lot or else I'll have to park it a few blocks away". Three of the five cars had the headlights left on. For this to happen the valet had to override the auto shutoff manually. The valets were all thieves. read more

I am not one that usually writes harsh reviews but this is one. First the space is terribly awkward. It occupies 2 separate units in a shopping plaza. so after checking in with hostess we followed her back outside in the rain to the other unit. Our waitress was really bad. MIA a lot and she failed to bring us the bread we ordered but still charged us( sad to have to pay for bread). I am lactose intolerant but usually can sort my way around dairy. Kitchen's menu had a lot of cheese and when I asked if I could substitute sides the waitress said the chef doesn't allow that. I get it I have cooked professionally and presentation is important. So I picked the steak which had French fries and green beans. My steak arrived on a plate by itself with no sides. they arrived shortly each on separate plates. Same for everyone at the table separate plates for entree and sides. So much for presentation being the reason for no substitution. And there is cheese on the green beans, they fixed this but I had already discussed the lactose problem with the waitress and carefully picked an entree with sides that appeared to be cheese free. The fries looked like they were the last of a batch small random bits. Already not impressed I almost didn't eat them because old fried food can lead to trouble and It did. Spent the next 24 hours frequently visiting the bathroom. The one excellent thing was our bus boy. He was super attentive and polite. Wish he was our server. read more

Finally made it here and so happy that we did. Wonderful food, service and ambience... and nice to be away from the "scene" on the island.

Amazing food and staff. A nice little place tucked away in west palm. I always get the grilled fish, it's fresh and delicious. Don't leave without having dessert, it's a must. read more

Kitchen is no bigger than a closet, if you don't mind small spaces. There is no bar and they only serve beer and wine. We could have gotten past all that until we were seated. Apparently, we did not order fast enough as the waitress came over three times within a 15 minute period of time to ask us for our order! When she arrived the third time, we kindly asked for 5 more minutes. Less than 5 minutes later another individual came over and said "We have another reservation coming in a hour and we would hate to have you rush thru dinner". Seriously? We were not looking for a 2 1.2 hour dinner, but helicopter waitering?? Obnoxious. With that, we had had enough and promptly left. Obviously, I can't comment on the food, but I am NOT sorry I didn't have an opportunity to try it. read more

First, let me say the service here was absolutely wonderful. Our server was very sweet and attentive, we really liked her and the staff made sure we were never without water and had everything we needed. However, we don't think the food really lived up to the hype and especially the price. We had the Kitchen salad and the ahi tuna as appetizers - both a good start. The ahi was fresh and flavorful. But the entrees were just okay and generally just not worth the $30+ price point. The chicken schnitzel was a nice idea, but the fried egg on top was overcooked, denying me the pleasure of the runny yolk, and the chicken itself was dry too. My husband ordered the grilled swordfish and it was just three small pieces of grilled swordfish with two small sides. Not bad but not memorable at all... I think for the price point there are other places you could go for more of a satisfying experience. Also I reserved on OpenTable and for two days before our reservation the restaurant BLEW UP MY PHONE during my busy workday and never left a voicemail. When I finally had a chance to call back to see what was up, the person said they needed a verbal confirmation for every reservation. Maybe they should consider leaving a voicemail instead of calling me five times in an hour during a workday. read more

Not great just ok cramped, no booze just expensive wine. Service excellentl, food ordinary, had to ask for bread since meals and salads real skimpy. Dessert good, coffee skimpy with not asked if would like more. Would not go out of my way for just ok at. Hundred and half $. read more

Best food and preperation we have experienced in West Palm! A must go if you are in the area!

Great food...great service....wonderful atmosphere. The BEST banana cream pie ever. Will constantly go back.

Small and intimate with fresh menu each day. Food was good and service was terrific. Small wine list. We thought they were very attentive and helpful. Only negatives is that is really small so it is crowded and feels crowded plus it's hard to get a reservation but worth the effort. read more

This is a tiny restaurant that serves impeccably prepared food from start to finish There are loads of new comers just around the block but nothing comes close to this neighborhood gem. read more

I heard good things about this restaurant, due to my frustration it is only getting 2 star from me. I order one of Chef's favorite; Chicken Schnitzel. It was dry, rubbery, under seasoned. Nothing special about it. Portions was relatively large but this place's main target not the ones looking for quantity, "diner" lover customers. Hopefully it was just a bad night for them. I will try to revisit again. read more

My friend and I ordered the chicken and steak dishes, respectively. Both were adequate, with the schnitzel dish being especially dry. Further, both of us got food poisoning that night. Everything was overpriced and there are plenty of better restaurants around. Do not go here. read more

Dined here last night and thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered. Beet and ahi salads, scallop and fish specials and veal ragout over risotto were all delicious. Highly recommend the coconut cake for dessert but banana cream pie was great too. Service was friendly and knowledgeable with spot-on recommendations. We'll definitely be back!!! read more

By far, this is the best restaurant I've experienced in many years. The food is exquisite. Flavorful, visual, exciting. We had grilled salmon (very generous portion) over a sautéed mix of kale, navy beans, cherry tomatoes, etc) which taste will stay with me for a very long time. The sea bass was equally outstanding. Although a small place, and the noise level was a little high, it was not a distraction since we arrived at 6:15 when few tables were filled. They are expanding into an adjacent space for a wine bar and a room where a large party of ~18 were dining. Cannot recommend Kitchen enough. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this intimate restaurant with excellent and knowledgeable wait staff, exciting menu with very fresh ingredients. Recommend the duck and the ahi tuna. Desert to die for. We have eaten at top restaurants in every major city and this young couple are on to something great. My new favorite eatery. read more

We popped in and were lucky enough to get a table.... WOW! Tuna app was amazing but Dear Lord that was the best burger EVER! We will be back over and over again! read more

Donna C. Wildwood, Il After checking into Hotel Biba across the street from The Kitchen and having been up since 3:00 AM travelling I was happy to see someplace I could walk to for a nice relaxing dinner. It was early so I was able to get a table right away. The service started out wonderful but unfortunately once the place starting filling in being a lone diner I was more attended to by the busboy. I had a wonderful filet w/gorgonzola that was served over a bed of garlic spinach and onion rings. The filet was cooked to perfection and the garlic spinach was wonderful. The only thing I would criticize would be the onion rings as I thought the delicate piece of filet would have been better sided with a seasonal risotto or similar. I did force myself to order the coconut cake which was awesome, but be sure that you have someone to share this with as it was a huge piece. I would highly recommend Kitchen for a nice treat (as it is $$$)and to people/table watch as it was very entertaining! I will go back if ever in the area again. read more

Beatiful restaurant, great service, but the food could be better.

The first time I went I thought it was just fair. Was there the other night and besides being put in the lounge which I definitely asked Becky (whoever she is) when I made the reservation that we wanted to be seated in the original part of the restaurant. Upon arrival we were escorted into the lounge by the owner (who has a horrible attitude) and the lounge has a very cold feeling. The food is absolutely horrendous for the prices they charge and in fact, it's horrendous no matter what the prices are. I cannot understand why people think this place is good? Is it because it's Tiger Woods ex-chef? He was probable fired by Tiger because he is a lousy cook. I would try Maison Carlos down the street or go to the Island of Palm Beach and sprint to Buccan. I give this place another year if they are lucky. Do not go unles you like to waste your money! read more

Off the charts amazing! We dined at the Chefs Table with our family of 7, where Chef Matt selected and prepared all four courses. We were amazed and delighted with each one! The staff was warm and friendly, service beyond our expectations, and the food off the charts delicious. It's intimately quaint but charming and classy! I think the size of the place is what adds to its ambiance and unique dining experience. My husband and I will return again and again!! Can't wait for the next time! read more

Awesome. The owner wend out of her way to make sure we had a great experience food was great and the waitress was extremely attentive!!!!

Kitchen is by far our favorite restaurant! The food is the BEST around and the service is always so welcoming. It's hard to have a favorite on the menu because everything is so delicious. We will continue to return time and time again. We highly recommend it! read more

Big and Bad attitude from the owner. I won't set foot in the place again. My wife made reservations for my birthday, looking forward to a special evening. We arrived on-time and were seated promptly. We ordered a bottle of wine and two appetizers--then were harassed at least 4 times for our entree orders within 10 minutes. They then kicked the pressure up a notch with the owner's wife coming over (not to ask how our starters were) to ask us if we were ready to order. When we said we were not, she offered to make suggestions from the menu. Um, No--we are not 5 years old and won't spend hundreds of dollars to be rushed in and out. We expressed our dissatisfaction with being pressured to order, asked them to cork our wine and left. I have never seen anything like it, no matter where in in the world I have dined. And it wasn't like we were sitting for an hour--from the time we sat down at 6pm, to the time we ordered starters, wine and were harassed 5 times to order our entrees, to the time we left, only a half our had passed. They claimed the chef had to "fire" the order. BS. They wanted to turn the tables over quickly--get you in and out. So, if you like overbearing, rude owners with an attitude and being made to feel like you are priviledged to be in their presense, go to Kitchen. If not, go to Evo, Entre Nous, Buccan, etc. or any of the other fine restaurants who treat customers the way they should be treated. read more

We enjoyed a nice meal here this week. The salads are wonderful. Abundant, fresh and delicious. The entree choices are less intriguing than appetizers and side dishes. I had the scallops with risotto. I had to send them back because they tasted like the Atlantic Ocean but they were extremely accommodating with providing me a new meal. I ended up having the fish of the day blackened fish with the butternut squash and cauliflower sides. The sides were over the top delicious. The fish was a bit charred but I didn't want to be that person who complained twice. It was edible and very good quality. My dinner mates had the chicken schnitzel which was delicious and the pork chop which was delicious. I could literally eat appetizers and sides here and call it a night. They were the most inventive parts of the menu. I would go definitely go back and try a different entree. It's a cute spot. Also, the menu regularly changes which is a really nice way to keep things fresh. My only complaint, no bread before dinner or with our appetizers. They did give us a piece of toast with a tapenade topping. It was exceptional. read more
