Kitchen + Kocktails By Kevin Kelley - DC

If you’re looking for good food, good drinks, and a vibe in DC, I highly recommend Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley. From the moment we walked in, the location felt lively and welcoming with gorgeous photo opportunities making the perfect spot for a night out in the city. We started with the sampler trio and every bite delivered. The deviled eggs were creamy with yummy shrimp, the perfect kick of spice from the lamb chops plus they were tender and flavorful, and the crab cake was packed with crab and seasoned beautifully. For entrées, we ordered the salmon and the jerk chicken, paired with classic sides: mac & cheese, collard greens, and sweet potatoes. Everything tasted like elevated comfort food! Rich, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The mac & cheese was top tier! Of cou

1st timer had southern style cuisine in the States. Garlic Parmesan Char-grilled oysters for appetizer, My self had ordered catfish with grits, husband had salmon and dirty rice. All was excellent! We loved it. Portions was loaded! Our server was Omar! He was ah-mazing! Working fast, and make sure everything ok. Thanks for helping us ! Really love with their unique environment. Recommended for sure!

My husband and I visited Kitchen + Kocktails for a Saturday lunch at 12:30 p.m. While there were clearly open tables, the restaurant required an online reservation, which felt a bit pretentious for that time of day. Upon being seated, we noticed dried food on the chairs—an unfortunate first impression for such a stylish venue. Our server, Sheena, greeted us warmly and offered tap or sparkling water before directing us to the menu via QR code. We decided on the chicken and waffles, and she recommended upgrading to their specialty flavors. We opted for the cinnamon roll and peach cobbler waffles, priced at $33. My husband also added candied yams to his meal. During our meal, a photographer came by to take pictures at the table, which were later offered for purchase at $25 each—a nice touch

This place is fantastic! Very elevated Soul Food that does not disappoint. The atmosphere is just right, music was poppin'. I had a blackberry Margarita which was probably the best Margarita I have tasted. I had the Cajun Stuffed Salmon, which was stuffed with collard green dip and topped with Lump Crab in a delicious white wine sauce, all sitting atop a mound of dirty rice. Jasmine was a great host and treated us very well. I will not miss an opportunity to come here again! DC is very lucky to have this spot.

Every-time I visit this restaurant I have exemplary service,consistently delicious food and just a good time! The music is great,the staff collectively checks on you and the food comes out quick! I came in starving, my appetizer hit the table in less than 10 minutes! I really love this place because it is so hard for restaurants to keep food tasting the exact same and they have it down packed ! I've been here atleast 6 times and I've ordered countless items. The food is worth every dollar ! Go try! I highly recommend the shrimp and grits AND crab cake !
