Great dinner with Paul and the crew at the Kitchen, delicious food, curated collection of craft beers (ask Paul to surprise you), friendly and efficient service, even with 5 kids in tow on a wet and wild night. Thanks, we will be back!

Had the most amazing experience here that we came back again! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. They made us feel like we were regulars even though we had never been before! Food was amazing, so yummy and good options for vegans too! Awesome drinks selection including loads of craft beer (would recommend the Ginger Martini) Thank you so much team! Coming to your restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip, if I could give more stars I would!!
