Pick any complementary adjective and that's how I feel about Kitchen. We ordered their Rosh Hashanah dinner, take out and it was just a dream... Always a pleasure to call visit, and dine with kitchen. Thank you for all you do to make life feel more normal and taste more delicious. Bravo. read more

We do the same steak and wine stuff every year for our corporate new years and holiday gatherings, but this year a colleague thought lets try something else. We did the chefs tasting menu at kitchen. Wow So to start, it us a quaint place, very small and honestly I felt like we were in our own restaurant in the private room we booked. The wine in the lounge was great along with our appetizers and the decor made the place feel hip and fun. The actual dinner was fantastic, we had four courses and each one was unique. I could sit here and tell you what to eat and what we liked but truthfully this is a place you want to go back to because each dish is very unique. I'll post pictures of what we had and suffice to say, we will be back 5 stars, the chef was nice enough to come greet us, very humble and his lovely wife hosted us. Service was fantastic, evening want incredibly well. Hopefully the secret is out. read more

For the hype and the buzz, this place let me down. The food was poorly cooked (the rarest burger I've ever had served to me), the drinks uninspiring (no cocktails, and the restaurant ambiance not ready for diners (no dessert menus, weird overflow extension called "lounge" without a full bar--just wine and 5 or so bottled beers). Two recommendations: 1) request outdoor seating on open table and when they call to confirm reservation and 2) only come for dessert (order blueberry Apple crisp, you won't be disappointed) Albeit disappointed in food, drinks, and restaurant ambiance (a bit pretentious for my liking) our waitress Jody was well versed on the menu, but was eager to get us the bill to make way for the next reservations coming in. Don't waste your time -- head to Buccan. read more

Fantastic! Great location. Creative menu. Superb waitstaff. Our meal was delicious, our server was outstanding, and the ambiance was lovely. We'll definitely be back - soon. read more

This restaurant never seems to disappoint. From the eggplant burrata to the asparagus appetizer...it is all outstanding. Tonight I had the corvina special which was moist and delicious. If you are looking for a fine dining experience or just a great meal...look no farther. Favorite restaurant hands down! Service is great too! read more

Ugh omg this place is amazing! The music was so good, love the ambiance of the place! I loved how cozy it was too and I wasn't freezing to death lol! Shared the fried eggplant appetizer which was bomb! The salmon in paper entree was the best salmon I've ever had ordered with a side of butternut squash that was just a mouth full of heaven. Lastly, shared the coconut cake which was the best coconut cake ever! It was so light and airy. Omg I can't stop thinking about it I want more. This place is a must. Best restaurant so far! 10/10 read more

New Years dinner was third time for us,at Kitchen since we found it to be the best run restaurant in area around our community we enjoyed the evening thanx read more

We very much like Kitchen as the food is consistently terrific and service is attentive. They have grown rationally, adding space as adjacent space has become available. It's one of the best restaurants in the area. read more

Phenomenal menu and service. Everything from the starters to dessert were top notch. The best part was the service. Will be returning! read more

Really liked this place. It is small and dimly lit (its a great date place). Decor is modern and very cool. The owner stopped by and chatted for a while, servers were all great. Food was great. I had seafood pasta. chock full of seafood and just the right amount of garlic (can there be too much? I think not). K had the burger and it was spectacular! We ended with a shared coconut cake Moist, nice flavor, plenty of coconut. read more

I have never written a review. But felt compelled to do so this time. My husband and I have worked in high end country clubs for 20 plus years in the food service. We do not expect outstanding meals every-time. In fact we love finding the small family owned places that have "love" in their food. But when you are paying $120 plus without drink for the two of you, then it should at least be editable. (Please note we placed a to-go order) We had the chicken schnitzel. It was bland. No sauce. No flavor. Just breaded chicken with arugula and a few mushrooms( the veggies were not cooked- just cold and placed on top of chicken) , and a fried egg. No seasonings or sauce. I ended up adding tomato sauce and cheese to it and add more flavors. Then threw it out. To say that it was bland would be putting it nice. The only thing nice to say was chicken was cooked well and was not dried out. My husband had the fettuccine Bolognese. You would think for the price it would have more meat and the pasta would be homemade. I make better bolognese pasta at home. And it had no real flavor. The Caesar salad had a decent flavor. But was mushy and warm when we got it home because they had it placed in between two hot entrees in the bag. The actual size also was not worth the $14 we paid for it. It was at best a side salad. The crab cake had actual real crab in it- but was very small and not worth the $19. The only thing that was decent was the delicious was coconut cake. The baker knows what they are doing. I did not try other deserts. But this was great. But the rest of the meal-My husband and I almost took it back- and we never do this! It was that bad. Maybe it was because we got it to-go? But I really do not think so. The resent reviews I read all day the same things. Im guessing it's busy at the restaurant because apparently this chef used to work for Tiger Woods?? But it is not good not. Pass on this place and save your money. Go to a family owned place down the way that is much better. read more

My husband and I went to this quaint little restaurant on a Friday after work. It was so cute. Dim, romantic lighting in a very intimate setting. I ordered the center cut NY strip which quite possibly could be the best steak I've ever had in my life. It was perfectly cooked medium with garlic butter crust. Mmmmm. It came with hand cut potato fries. My husband had a fish (can't remember the name). He said it was good but loved the steak. His meal came with dill cauliflower - delicious! - and a Brussels sprout/pepper side. For desert we split the coconut pie with lemon curd and also had a desert sampler. The apple pie a la mode was our favorite out of the sampler. This place is in a little plaza and may not look like much from the outside, but the food and service was outstanding. read more

I was spoiled rotten when a producer took the entire crew to Kitchen for a special chef's dinner. The champagne and wines were excellent, the food was simply incredible, and the service was par excellence. Yes, it helps to know the chef, but nonetheless, the food is only as good as what is served, and the food was well prepared, good serving sizes, and delicious. read more

Once again the Kitchen doesn't disappoint. Obviously the Kitchen is gaining more attention and demand as they expand to accommodate all their reservations. We arrived on time and were immediately seated. The menu is rock solid and offers all that one would expect in terms of choice. We love their Bronzino and the taste was delicious. The Kitchen always offers a few specials BUT you need to order early as they can run out 86 as its called. Wines and Spirits are excellent and reasonable although we tend to bring our own as their corkage fee is fair. Thanks to our lovely and friendly server who has been their quite sometime "Katie" Overall great job. See you again! Steve read more

Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was delicious and the wait staff was wonderful. We had the pleasure of sitting next to the owners, Matt and Aliza (and their very polite sons) who treated us to dessert. I'll definitely be going back, and will recommend to our friends. The lemon coconut cake was out of this world! read more

Loved everything about this place - great food (grilled fish was excellent and the coconut cake is to die for), relaxed brasserie atmosphere, welcoming and attentive staff, and friendly owners. Will be back for more! read more

Very average to meh. Be prepared to be squished like a smoked oyster in a tin can in the main dining room. Wine list is very thin with 2 or 3 tier two bottles. This is a place for off season if you can't get in any where else and you are seeking average at best food. This is a no return for me. I wouldn't waste a Tuesday night at this place. Ps. Felt bad for waitress and left her 20% tip. Wasn't her fault owners didn't know how to run a restaurant. read more

My wife and I joined my parents here for my mother's birthday 2 weeks ago and we had a delicious dinner: Wife = bronzino (daily catch) -- best bronzino that she's had in the States Me = Burger -- really good and my wife and I went 50/50, so a nice lil way to do a surf & turf Mother = schnitzel -- really good and it was a great recommendation by the server or she wouldn't have ordered Father = I can't fully recall, but I think he had the other fish that night (a grouper perhaps) All in all a great meal with a nice intimate setting and we were sitting next to the operators (head chef, Matthew perhaps, and his wife + 1 other gentleman) who showed a sincere inquiry as to how we enjoyed our meal and were quite interested in to how their staff was performing. Highly recommended and perhaps call ahead to see if they have the bronzino that evening as it was deli-cious :) read more

The food was excellent. People love this restaurant. It is time to move to a better location. They need more space and less crowded tables read more

No Ambiance...no decor, slow wait staff! That's the GOOD news. The bad news....overpriced food, small portions, and Mediocre food. The pork chop was flavorless..the chicken spitzel was tough and flavorless too. McDonald's is a couple blocks away. read more

I went to this restaurant After reading an article about where the top chefs in palm beach county go to eat on their down time . To say the least we were all very disappointed From the service to the quality of food to the menu .We are in south Florida but the 3 fish choices were sourced from over a thousand miles away One.the mediterrean . The other south America and the final from the pacific north west Really with all the fresh locally caught fish right in their backyard All the dishes were virtually tasteless or way over salted . Bolognese sauce wasn't even jar quality The fish was small and lacking any real flavor or sauce The schnitzel was just ok more like an over rated chicken cutlet The waitress was sweet but unattentive As for The chef who recommended this place I have to question his ability to know what good food is and can only imagine what he serves in his.place the problem I see with alot of these restaurants is anyone with aisle money feel they can open a place and serve people The dining experience is way more then that. People spend their hard earned money and expect.an experience and surely expect food better then they have in their homes Neither of which I can say was what we experienced Stop supporting these sub par places. Demand higher quality And please stop using this bullshit pandemic for all their shortcomings read more

Cute neighborhood spot with a reputation for good food, but our first experience was less than ideal. My salmon was quite good but only came with the vegetable mango salsa which left me wanting. For $32 you would think a dab of mashed potatoes might come with it. My partner's chicken schnitzel was over cooked (dark brown vs light like it should have been) and so oily that it slid off the plate when served at the table and ended up touching his shirt and getting oil on it. It also had no real flavor. When we got home, I realized there must have been something on my chair as there was food smooshed into my rear pant pocket, what looked like mashed potatoes, so there was more oil on our clothing. I guess I got some mashed potatoes after all. read more

I'm down in Florida visiting my parents. They took us to their favourite restaurant which was very lovely and the food was outstanding. I read several of the reviews and sorry but the poor ones are just not accurate. The staff was wonderful and the food quality was superb. The space is a bit odd but if you want perfect for to Applebee's. Worth the stop. read more

Great Quality food and great service! We loved our server Jodi. WIll go again and again. Dr.T

Where to begin...where to begin...this place blew not only me, but the rest of my party away! So good! I had read from previous reviewers to make a reservation ahead of time due to how hard it is to get in. We got an 8:30 reservation for Friday night. Looking back now, it IS summer and Season is pretty much done (hooray - less traffic!), so we could've walked in with no hassle. There were a few empty tables OR maybe it was just a slow Friday night OR maybe we just ate really late..Who knows.. We arrived a bit earlier, and got seated down immediately. I suggest sitting outside on not so hot nights, great atmosphere, plus it's a bit more spacey and open than the interior. The inside is quite small, but looked nice and intimate..plus it was a bit too cold for our taste. This place is located in a plaza, so parking is kind of limited. We parked in the plaza next door..not sure if they are related..but I didn't get towed. Onward to the best part... FOOD (my stomach is growling): Main Dishes - + Pan Roasted 2x Cut Porkchop, Chevre Whipped potatoes, Apple-ginger Jam: the STAR of the our dinner. Everyone couldn't believe how tender and juicy the pork was. YUM. The apple-ginger jam paired perfectly with it, plus the potatoes were super creamy & had hints of blue or goat cheese in it. I would HIGHLY recommend ordering this!! + Simple Grilled Fish, Charred Lemon, Olive Oil, Parsely: Cooked well, definitely all about the fresh fish taste if you really enjoy that. Plain, yet delicious. It wasn't flavored heavily, and you could taste the nice grilled flavors. Comes with 2 filets. + Charred Filet of Beef, Garlic Spinach, Maytag blue, Cripsy Onion rings: Cooked well & yummy...the filet looked thick. I didn't get a bite of this dish, so I don't have much to say, but the person in our group loved it! Cleaned the whole plate. Sides - + Dill Roasted Cauliflower: yummy, tender and flavorful. + Sautéed Parmesan Broccolini: crispy, with a delicious flavor of parmesan. + Roasted Brussels & Grape Tomatoes: mmmhmmm, anything roasted in my book, is A-OK. + Butternut Squash with Truffle Oil, Goat Cheese: ORDER THIS. We all wanted more of this delicious side, as one guy claimed "one of my top 3 things I've ever eaten in my life." There was absolutely nothing about our dinner we hated. It was a great success and I'm really glad that we came here. The food, the wine, the atmosphere, the waiters, even when the chef came out and asked how our dinner was.. all lovely! The portions were perfect, we expected small portions for the prices and type of restaurant, BUT we were pleasantly surprised when the dishes came out. I cannot wait to come back for more!! :) read more

This is such a gem of a restaurant! It's intimate, trendy without being obnoxious about it, perfect for foodies while still remaining unpretentious. Started with a bottle of Sancerre which was chilled to perfection. For the first course, I had the Burrata salad and my date had the beet salad. Ripe Heirloom tomatoes, peppery arugula, and creamy Burrata were paired perfectly (especially with the Sancerre!). My date's cold beet salad was stacked in thick slices and sandwiched with unctuous blue cheese, walnut oil, and microgreens. Absolutely delish! Kitchen had two fish specials last night; a cobia and a Peruvian sea bass. We ordered both of them and were absolutely thrilled with our decision. The cobia was grilled and had a slight char to it that was so savory! Fresh lemon accompanied it but honestly it didn't need a thing. The sea bass was pan seared with roasted cherry tomatoes, capers, and served with what seemed like a lighter beurre blanc sauce. Yumyumyumyum... Sides were butternut squash with goat cheese and truffle oil (the best!!!), cauliflower (fresh dill and roasted), roasted brussel sprouts and cherry tomatoes (really roasted to bring out all that earthy flavor), and the parsley French fries (not at all oily). Dessert: do NOT miss the coconut cake. I'm telling you, even if you're full to the point of bursting, get the cake. You will thank me. My date hates coconut but indulged my selection, because he's an intelligent man :) Can I tell you he ate more of that cake than I did?? He was raving about it long after dinner was over. Kitchen is not to be missed. Make your reservations ahead of time, especially now that season is coming. read more

My husband and I just left Kitchen and we had a terrible meal. We wanted to like it because the hostess (long blonde hair) was so sweet. She accommodated us when we wanted to move indoors to prevent bug bites and treated us kindly. The food however, is a different story and that's why I'm giving it 1 star. So no more people waste their money and night out on this restaurant like we did. We ordered the "lasagna" appetizer. It was grilled portobello and eggplant as the "pasta" filled with ricotta cheese and topped with arugula and a Parmesan cheese tuille. The vegetables were overcharred and sauce tasted burnt. Very small portion - not worth $10. We both ordered the burger because it sounded delicious! Who wouldn't a burger topped with foie gras and made with grass-fed beef? When it arrived in front of us, mine was cooked well (as chef intended- medium rare) and my husbands was completely raw. (He ordered medium rare as well). He sent his back and they threw the SAME burger back on the grill and brought it back. This is unacceptable! The burger was obviously overcooked now and had that reheated taste. Not to mention, this burger doesn't come with foie gras on top. It is, according to the waitress, mixed into the burger. So it's basically like it wasn't even there. Fries were decent. My husband didn't even eat his. The couple at the table next to us sent one of their dishes back 3 times. Don't make the same mistake we did! Skip this place until the kitchen gets their act together. read more

This is a new restaurant for me. The atmosphere was lovely and intimate. My Greek salad appetizer was amazingly fresh. I had the salmon in paper. Wonderful.. I ordered a Tito vodka up with olives. My friend ordered a cosmopolitan. All was great except when we got the bill. Are you kidding me?? $19 for a drink. What a rip off. BEWARE OF DRINK PRICES. ASK FIRST!!! read more

I was disappointed to learn that Vagabondi has shut it's doors, some time ago...Was a great tiny little place, and I was really hoping a new hero will step in and take over this tiny little property to deliver wonderful food....dreams come true...this is more then I expected... I have paid multiple visits to kitchen, and I am more and more in love with everything about the place. Inside, there are no more then 30 seats, And may be 14 outside, so i would really suggest calling for reservations since the place is always packed. The age group of the crowd is always mixed, yet very sophisticated. I am a big fan of that. My favorite burger joints have something to fear with these guys...a beautiful bled with top notch ingredients. Chefs schnitzel is everyone's favorite! Nice and moist, with beautiful salad and a fried egg on top. Fish if the day is forever changing, and economies with 2 sides and grilled lemon. I was lucky enough to have the red drum...it was absolutely perfect. Not boring, yet no underseasoned, pure perfection. Try to smoked salmon potatoe pancake....it's brilliant. There is a small private room with In the size of the restaurant with a chef's table. The staff is very polite and educated on every item on the menu, down to every ingredient that goes into a dish Overall, I have to give then 5 stars! I wish we had more such restaurants in town. read more

I am conflicted about writing this review. On the one hand the chef and staff deserve to be recognized for the excellent food and service. On the other hand I might not be able to get back in. We were lucky enough to enjoy Kitchen only because a friend gave us her reservation. It's an incredibly small but completely polished restaurant and it reminded me of the tiny but fabulous hip spots in NYC. I won't go into too much detail but suffice it to say that the wine, appetizers, main courses and deserts were all excellent. All four of us enjoyed everything we ordered as well as everything everyone else ordered. It's a pricey place but it was worth every penny. You know what they say - you get what you pay for. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit to Kitchen. read more

Really wanted to love it. It's not going to happen. The best thing about this dinner was dessert. The apple cobbler was outstanding. That's the good news. Now the bad news, in a nutshell: Dark restaurants make me nervous. Why's it so dark in there? What are you hiding? It was difficult to read the menu. The tables are crammed together. I don't want to hear the two conversations going on to my left and right. I could have held that girl's hand at the table to my right. She was that close. Our handbags were touching. I really don't want my posterior knocking over the salt shaker every time I get up to go to the ladies' room. How does a restaurant of such notoriety run out of Filet of Beef before 8:00PM on a Saturday night? I never heard of (and did not enjoy) a house salad overloaded with such large slices of celery. That was no ordinary celery! It was more like the health salad you get at a better Jewish Deli than a dinner salad. There was an "off" taste in every bite that I couldn't discern. Had the lighting been a little better, it wouldn't have taken me so long to realize the culprit was KALE. Who puts kale in a house salad? Awful. I wish I had ordered something else. The chicken schnitzel. Great in theory. The schnitzel itself was perfect, but that was way, way, way too much arugula. That much arugula is never necessary. Maybe Tiger and his wife were big on vegetarian, but most of us are not. The ratio of arugula to chicken was inexplicable to me. Certainly not palatable to me. In and of itself, the arugula was flavorless. It ruined what might have been an otherwise memorable dish. Now it's unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. There is no bar. Wherever kitchen pb is proposing a Wine Bar is of little solace. They already have an impressive wine list. If you want a decent martini or a nice brandy after dinner, you're out of luck. read more

Yes, it's small, difficult to get in and pricey. It's also delicious. The burrata was outstanding- the tomatoes and arugula were wonderfully fresh and the arugula had a nice bite. The spinalis and pork chop were also delicious and cooked to the desired temps. The brussels sprouts that come w/the chop are the best I've ever had, I could eat 10 helpings. As for the wine, we went for the recommended CA Pinot Noir for 56.00 but you can take your own bottle and pay a 30.00 corkage fee, which we'll do next time. read more

Here in Palm Beach, the typical conversation revolves around where one ate the previous night and if there are any new restaurant openings. This season absolutely everyone is talking about "Kitchen", the newest addition to the Palm Beach dining circuit. This a contemporary American Brasserie recently opened in West Palm Beach. It is just about the smallest restaurant I have ever been to but don't let the size fool you; this place is big on service, warmth, friendliness and innovation. The food is off the charts spectacular.The menu changes often and is very eclectic and if you're a "foodie", you will be in seventh heaven. Checkout their website for their menu. We were taken by friends who had been there previously. We were a party of four and each of us was delighted with our choice of entree. Desserts were also exceptional. I could go on and on but you will just have to try this place yourself. Be advised though that because "Kitchen" has limited seating, you will probably want to make your reservations in advance. Well worth the effort. Go. read more

This is kind of in the middle of nowhere but it's such a cute nice spot. The atmosphere is really nice. They made the outside so nice even though it's in a parking lot - you can't even tell. I'm from NYC and not many places are great but this was a truly enjoyable meal! read more

Went last night party of four for dinner. Outstanding server and food was the same. You would never know from the street that this shining star of a Resturant was hidden in a strip of stores. read more

Had a great dinner at kitchen. We went as a party of five on a Wednesday and used Opentable to make the reservations. Place was nicely busy for a weekday and good for people-watching. Decor was clean, modern and very inviting. Our waitstaff was friendly and knowledgable. We sat outside, which was lovely and the layout was perfect. Just enough tables to feel like you are part of the vibe, not just an add-on to the 'main' restaurant. Most of our party got the duck, which I didn't try but everybody really liked. I got the chicken schnitzel, which was a glorious concoction and hands down the best I've ever had. Loved it with the hot sauce provided on the table. Portions were generous but we still had room to share a large slice of fluffy, just sweet enough, coconut cake. Wine list was good and I really liked my Sauvignon blanc (Tenz). Beer list was small but my IPA connoisseur husband was very happy with the single IPA offered. Only surprise was the obligatory 20% gratuity for our party of five. We would have paid that much already based on the service, and the server was kind enough to mention it as she gave us the check. But still a surprise. As far as the small parking lot mentioned by another reviewer, kitchen shares the lot with a large optometry practice - since the restaurant is open at night (when the optometry place is closed) there is plenty of parking. All in all a very good experience, and I plan to go back. read more

Had dinner last night from the moment we entered the small intimate room we were welcomed & knew they were going to do everything to make our dining experience extra special. My husband had the breast of duck which he loved. My simple chicken was perfectly cooked but a bit too salty. The apple & blueberry crumble was too yummy to discuss. Will definitely return. read more

Popped in on a Saturday night without a reservation and were nicely accommodated at an indoor dining table. Had the beet salad which was delicious, goat cheese is always a winner for me. I also had the crabcake appetizer and it was good but not extremely memorable. I definitely will go back and try some other dishes. Wait staff was fantastic and the kitchen was super swift. I'm looking forward to another visit. read more

Very small intimate setting. Don't go here with the exceptions of having a private conversation. Because of the small size, you need to have a reservation. However, the food is excellent with large portion sizes. I loved the dumpling appetizer that was a special for the evening. The waitress said this is a recurrent special and definitely worth it. I had the burger which is a mix of beef, brisket, and foie gras. Unique flavor and absolutely worth trying. Again portion size was more than enough for a single person. Service was superb. Professional and well versed in the menu. Valet is the only parking option so plan for that. read more

Great Thanksgiving dinner takeout thanks to Kitchen! From the soup to the turkey and amazing trimmings, everything was delicious. I appreciate the attention to how the food was prepared and packaged for easy heating. Thankful to have this restaurant nearby in WPB... read more
