We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday, and although the restaurant was busy, service was as friendly and welcoming that it felt like we were the only customers. Because of the layout of the restaurant, even busy, it's quiet enough to easily have conversations. We started with the tzatziki, creamy and garlicky, with lovely fresh pita. For our mains, we had the boneless leg of lamb, the lamb shank, and the shrimp with pasta. Both the leg of lamb and the shank were so tender, delicious, and perfectly spiced, and the shrimp was cooked beautifully. The shrimp and lamb shank were served with a lightly sauced spaghetti, with a tiny hit of heat at the end. The leg of lamb came with vegetables and potatoes, and was plated beautifully. Portions are generous but get some house-made desserts to take home. This restaurant is just a delight. It feels like the best of an old fashioned family place, but with high standards that are more than met.

When server came, we advised we knew our appetizer and our meal. Again, server went off and was gone forever before we got our drinks. Disappeared again for quite awhile , then when they came out and brought our entrees....never got the appetizer. Ugh. My gyro was good. To make matters worse wife had 2 hairs in her salad...not her color hair. Not the servers fault, but there was no remorse or apology from any staff member. They did make the bill right, for not receiving the appetizer and for the hair in food was taken off the bill. Very Doubtful if we return...this was not our first service issue at Kephi in most recent attempts.

I wanted to go back for my birthday so I went last week, it was during the week so it was not too busy. I am not sure if they were short staffed but I had the worst experience! We sat outside, we had to keep swatting away flies. Our server was the worst, she barely let me finish my sentence before she walked away. She never checked on us to see if everything was okay. Our food was not great either. This time I got the crab cakes, no sauce came with it and my mashed potatoes were dry. The seasonal vegetable was asparagus and it was not cooked properly, it was tough and fibrous. My husband got a steak, it has no flavor and his asparagus was the same as mine. I couldn't want to just leave. What a disappointment.

The service was friendly and very informative, which was nice as we made decisions. The ambience was also excellent; we sat outside, but would've been happy to sit inside in the lively dining room. The standout dish of the meal was the baked Chincoteague clams. These were flavored with Thai green curry and were excellent bites. The smoked pork taco was also very much a stand out, the smoked flavors contrasted well with the freshness and it relief belt as if this taco provided bang for buck. The other dishes were well executed. A crab gazpacho with grape and other aromatic flavors as the base was well done but there was not much crab and so did not feel as if it was a particularly worthwhile dish to get. The grape flavor was also somewhat too prominent for my liking, but the dish was refreshing and light as promised. The brussels sprouts were solid but not particularly memorable. The oyster taco was slightly overburdened by slaw and proved somewhat more tangy than what was called. I would definitely come back for the clams and the smoked pork taco and would be interested to taste the raw preparations as well as the fried chicken taco next time.

K'Bola is an adaption of "¿Qué bolá?", which is Spanish Caribbean slang used in Cuba that translates to "what's up?" and is typically used as a casual greeting close friends and family.) For starters, we shared a plate of fried Yucca (Yuca Frita) - Lightly fried and crispy! also enjoyed a bowl of black beans (Frijol Negro), spiced just right. I had some scrumptious Tostones. For our main dishes, I savored the Cubano sandwich which is a fave of mine and knowing that K'Bola offers a chicken Cubano is a bonus for Aminta who doesn't eat red meat. We took the bread pudding home to enjoy later as we were pretty well satiated from our meals. Our server was super-friendly and attentive. We also imbibed some Dominican Republic beer for added "flavor ambiance". The new setting is a very comfortable one. Entering K'Bola is a step into a wonderful Cubano atmosphere. (It's located behind another of our favorite food haunts in Bilsburg, the Dog Street Cafe.) We look forward to our next visit!

The beef empanada had a great fried exterior but the filling fell flat. The ham croqueta was actually amazing, and I wish I had more of it. The fried yuca was fine but nothing special. And the sauces that came with this appetizer were pretty good. I ordered the vaca frita, under the impression that it would be flavorful and have a caramelized crisp on the outside. It had no flavor. I didn't see a speck of seasoning. The beef was chewy and isn't have the crisp that it was supposed to have. I squeezed the lemon that came with it over the meat and it did nothing for it. The vegetales salteados (roasted veggies) and the plantains were both delicious. I ordered a Coke Zero and was given a bottle, which was fine but not expected. The bottle had an expiration date of a month ago. Didn't realize it until about halfway through. We sat next to the door and had to swat at a fly and gnat throughout the meal. Annoying but i don't know what they could've done about that.

Came here with my family on a Friday evening, and we were seated and served immediately. One of the…read morefirst things that stood out to me was the work culture. The waitstaff, hostess, and management all seemed genuinely invested in providing great service and were consistently pleasant throughout our visit. What really left an impression was a small act of kindness from the woman in charge. It was 98 degrees outside, and after leaving the restaurant, I found myself running back in for another sip of water after realizing just how thirsty I was from the heat. Seeing this, she went out of her way to make sure I had a fresh ice water before I left. It was a simple gesture, but those are often the moments people remember most. As a side note, the water itself was surprisingly good quality. The pizza has a distinctive style, and it is one I thoroughly enjoyed. The crust is soft, airy, slightly chewy, and buttery, making it incredibly easy to keep eating. The tomato sauce provides a pleasant tang that complements the cheese nicely, but the basil is what truly stands out. Despite there being only a few thin slices scattered across the top, its flavor seemed to permeate the entire pizza and tie everything together. The combination of tangy sauce, fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil felt balanced and intentional. At just $12 for an entire pizza, it was also an excellent value. For my entrée, I ordered the sirloin steak and shrimp and finished every bite. The vegetables and shrimp had a flavor profile that landed somewhere between steamed and grilled, which I found very enjoyable. The caramelized bits on the vegetables were especially delicious, particularly on the onions. I also loved the mushrooms, broccoli, and cauliflower and honestly wished there had been more of them. The carrots and squash were less impressive and seemed more steamed than grilled. The shrimp was easily my favorite part of the dish. It was fresh, large, succulent, and perfectly tender without being tough or chewy. If I had one suggestion, it would be a bit more sear and perhaps a touch more butter or seasoning to enhance the flavor even further. I also would have liked more than three shrimp, especially at the $30 price point. Six shrimp would have felt more proportional to the rest of the dish. While the steak portion was much more generous, I genuinely enjoyed the shrimp far more. The steak was good and certainly satisfying, but it did not quite reach the level I would expect from a dedicated steakhouse. After trying a bite of my brother's seafood risotto, which struck a perfect balance between creamy richness and fresh seafood flavor, I found myself wishing I had ordered one of the restaurant's seafood-focused dishes instead. The Salmone Aurora, featuring crabmeat and scallops for the same price, immediately caught my attention. Based on what I tasted, seafood appears to be where this restaurant truly excels, and that is likely the direction I will go on my next visit. Overall, I had a very enjoyable experience. The service was exceptional, the pizza was memorable, and the seafood left me eager to return and explore more of the menu. While the steak was solid, the seafood dishes seem to be where this restaurant truly shines. Between the attentive service, thoughtful hospitality, and delicious food options I would happily dine here again.
