    The food was savory and full of flavor. I had the duck carbonara, the Mrs. had the lobster twist pasta. Both amazing but let’s just say my wife couldn’t stop picking at my plate. The restaurant is well designed, some small things I noticed were some of the bar stools needed to be deeper cleaned, and the chair I was in a little unstable. Still the staff was great and the atmosphere was pleasant.

    Nice location and good staff but menu extremely limited and actual food was poorly prepared / thought out. Will wait before going back.

    This was my second time to have the Wagyu burger, and it did not disappoint! Unfortunately, the french fries were hard, and if we hadn’t been in a rush to go to the theater, I would’ve sent them back, and I know they would’ve been cheerfully exchanged. The chocolate chip cookies were a new treat! We enjoyed the pianist, but the recorded music when he wasn’t playing was much too loud. Fortunately, our server noticed it and had it turned down before we even mentioned it.

    They had a fantastic DJ for Sunday brunch, the food was delicious and the place is lovely! They’ve got some though competition but this could be the new Sunday-funday for the upscale, IT crowd! 🙌🏻

    Dinner at The Kennedy was fantastic. We loved the ambiance as well as the service and menu. The cocktails were terrific and the duck confit carbonara was both delicious and unique. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and we will be back.

    Taz was an amazing server. The seating was not that great as the tables were too small for the plating and the food was not presented well for this type of establishment. I ordered the lobster bisque and it was entirely too salty.

    The food was excellent. The live music was too loud to hear the people dining with you. The $10 parking fee is ridiculous. Almost every restaurant in the area charges nothing to valet park, only a tip. Also, when using a credit card the lowest level for tipping is 20% and the highest level is 50%!! Seriously?? Almost every other restaurant’s tip starts at 15%. I won’t dine there again.
