We drove 2.5 hours just to eat at Kindred, and it was worth every mile! The staff was very kind, and every dish we ordered was immaculate. The squid ink pasta was my favorite though.

Kindred was absolutely amazing! The ambiance was modern art deco and although we didn't sit outside, the side patio looked lovely as well. We started with the pickles and duck fat potatoes and split the gnocchi ragu and mushroom tagliatelle. All of which were stunning - we literally ate every morsel of food they served it was so good. Our server was also well informed about the menu, attentive, and friendly. Bonus that you could scan a QR code on the bill and pay virtually! We will definitely return and recommend to our friends!

I proposed to my girlfriend last night. Manager Tammy and waitperson Abigail were absolutely perfect in executing everything I'd asked for ahead of time. They were generous, flawlessly professional in all ways, and celebrated along with us. The food was amazing, as always. We will carry fond memories of this night and cherish our evening for years. Bravo Kindred!

Fantastic food service bread. The only challenge is the wine pour. The smallest glass of wine I've ever been served in my life. Get a bottle or bring your own.
