    I visited this restaurant for a birthday dinner and had high hopes for the evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell a bit short. The portion sizes were on the smaller side. The medallions i ordered weren’t seared - it did not look or taste freshly prepared. Considering the price point, the overall quality and taste of our meal was underwhelming and not worth it.

    We had a large group that was accommodated easily. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. The waiter brought the platter of steaks to the table to explain all the cuts. It was very educational for the table. The food was delicious and the presentation was delightful. I will definitely return.

    I ordered a New York strip steak, which was very fatty. I ended up spitting out a good portion of it. The carrot cake was really spice cake and didn’t taste very good.

    Kinzie is always a great place to go whether it's dinner or lunch. The staff is super friendly and attentive and we always feel taken care of. Not to mention the meals. Kinzie's is a perfect place for a lunch meeting or to meet your favorite person for a nice lunch. It is always a great place for dinner and the carrot cake is incredible!

    Restaurant Week Prime Rib did not disappoint, however, the "Sea Bass", looked like tilapia - thin and soggy skin sagging off, not a thick piece of white fish. I was disappointed, and when my first bite had a bone, I was done. I gave the little filet to my date. The grilled Greek Salad, was rather boring - sauteed and maybe grilled, red onions, green & red bell peppers, tomatoes with Feta, and olive mousse. Maybe if lightly grilled romaine or endive was included it would have added a softer texture relieving my jaws of the constant motion of chomping.
