Diner Reviews

"The biggest problem at kitchen is it's size. while dining you are practically sitting in the lap of the people sitting next to you. No privacy for your conversation of the other diners. Having said that... the food is very good!"

"We continue to love this little gem. From the moment we walk in and are greeted in such a friendly way to when we leave everything about this place it great. Food is delicious and we never leave hungry."

"We looked forward to trying this hot spot but nothing went well. We weren't greeted immediately 'tho staff brushed past. We waited forever to be seated all the while being buffeted about. Our chirpy waitress gushed that the steak was 'melt in your mouth." But there was an interminable wait for our food. Apologies for the delay were followed by assurances that we were "next," but we weren't. When the food finally arrived 40+/- minutes later, my steak was underdone, stringy, and simply not good. The mountain of fries was limp with grease. Ugh! The spinach had too much raw garlic - not tasty. The final kicker: the owner refused to honor our OT dining check! Instead she offered a free dessert next time. Why repeat such a negative experience?"

"Small and intimate restaurant with beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious food. Chef/owner Matthew Byrne is creative in his menu and preparation of the food. Service under the guidance of his beautiful and hardworking wife Aliza is friendly and efficient. I had the grilled fish which was superb. My husband had the pasta bolognese that he said was outstanding. Desserts sinfully delicious."

"Kitchen is truly a neighborhood jem. We were fortunate to meet the owner/chef and his lovely wife (hostess) and enjoy a wonderful meal with friends."

"It's in a tiny downscale strip mall in West Palm Beach, with only 34 seats; however, word got out and reservations a must. It's run by a husband and wife team; he cooks and she hosts. Menu is inventive and very well executed. Absolutely worth the effort. We made two more reservations on the spot."

"This was our second visit to Kitchen, and we were as happy this time as the first time. The food is fresh, creatively prepared, and sometimes so simple yet so delicious it can be breathtaking. The ahi, mango and avocado appetizer is superb as is the simple grilled fish with olive oil, lemon salt and parsley. One of us thought their grilled fish was overcooked , though. The service is outstanding, attentive without hovering. Our only complaint is that the wine list is a little overpriced , and the pour is small in comparison with other restaurants we visit in the area. We will return again, however, and look forward to trying more dishes. The sampler dessert plate is the perfect ending to a lovely meal."

"Tucked in a little strip of stores off of Dixie you will find a big surprise. Kitchen turns out excellent food in a very small space. It is surely worth the wait. From appies to dessert you won't dissappointed. Save room for the sweets."

"From the moment we stepped into Kitchen we were greeted warmly and made to feel @ home....the balance of the evening from the service to the food was outstanding. A true gem"

"Excellent food & service. I had the arugula salad and crab cake. Both were excellent choices!! Friends had the chicken schnitchel and blackened fish - both were top knotch. Seating is tight But the noise level is surprising low. Will definately return."

"Small owner/chef with really great food and waitstaff. We loved it!"

"Talented young chef- cooking delicious food selections. The best experience in a long time. Creative but not crazy. For foodies. Sophisticated crowd- well dressed and appreciate good cooking"
Dined on 1/17/2014
"Food and service were excellent. Our server was familiar with both the menu and wine list. We started with tuna tartare in a chunky preparation with mango and a crab cake. Both appetizers were beautifully presented, ample and very tasty. We then enjoyed a very tender top of rib eye with blue cheese on spinach with giant, onion rings, and a whole trout skinned and boned, stuffed with a fish mousse. Both dishes had wonderful flavors. We saw a chicken schnitzel topped with a sunny side up egg pass our table several times which looked incredible! Although we are not sweet eaters, we like try a dessert on our first time at a restaurant to check out the pastry chef, and our banana bread pudding did not disappoint."

"We booked weeks in advance and were seated in the corner where there was lots of wait traffic that keep constantly pushing on the back of our quests chair, because there wasn't enough room to get by. Made for a uncomfortable evening.It was our first night there,she should have offered to pay for our 1 dessert that we ordered between the 4 of us or something,instead she promised not to seat us there the next time.What next time?"
Dined on 1/13/2014
"Kitchen is a winner! Creative food, attentive service. Chef Mathew and wife Aliza are a winning combination."
Dined on 1/14/2014
"We had a reservation and were seated on time. Pace of service was good with enough time to enjoy the meal. Food was very good with large portion sizes. Wine was expensive, at least a 3:1 mark-up. Atmosphere was up tempo. Hostess/owner was charming. Meal was expensive for a neighborhood restaurant in a strip mall: $120/couple (including tip and tax) with shared appetizer, no dessert or coffee."
Dined on 1/13/2014
"This location has not been so lucky for at least 3 other restaurants that did not make it. The shopping center has limited parking and the restaurant is quite small. The food was absolute delicious and beautifully presented. The chef is the former chef for Tiger Woods. He was a lucky man in that department to eat so well. The hostess is a girl friend of an owner or the chef( do not know) but she is a knockout and not bothered by unexpected occurrences .I would love to go again but it is pretty well booked for the future. A definite do not miss if you know in advance of when you are coming to WPB. WPB now has the hot restaurant and the hot home shop Hive....eat your heart out PB."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The chefs wife was a lovely hostess and we were seated on time. Our server was very good and had a lovely personality. Our crab cake apps were very flavorful and all entree choices were wonderful as we'll. we had the tasting for dessert and it was the perfect topper. We are already booked for our next dinner!mi"

"This is a wonderful little gem. Friendly & terrific staff and delicious food. Would recommend and go back again!"

"We were actually excited to go to a new restaurant that was under the slogan"farm to table fresh"In a strange location in strip mall in a shady neighborhood. The chef's wife runs the front to the house and was very pleasant and attentive.Inside very small as many people have said. Hope the table next to you wears deodorant and does have a loud conversation. Probably holds 50 people max.Menu and wine list were very diverse and complex which is a good thing.Yes it's pricey but if you don't know that before hand that's on you. Sea Bass and chicken schnitzel were very good.Service was great. Very attentive. Didn't feel rushed.Head chef and owner came out and visited every table. Overall in South Florida West Palm Beach in was very good."

"Food was really great! There was a lot of variety on the menu. Small place about 12 tables inside, outside was a few tables basically in the parking lot with some plants to hide the road. Service was excellent and it was expensive! Have already made a new reservation and look forward to the next visit."
Dined on 12/28/2013
"The restaurant popped up while Map Questing. Web site pics of the food & dining room looked great & seemed unlike typical restaurants visited on our annual holiday trips to Boca. While waiting for our table we visited a gift shop next door & the owner told us all about the chef & his desire for more personal expression thru his cooking. The space is tiny & depending on where you sit a bit dark (a black painted wall at one end). Service is good but the tight space required a lot of reaching across to the person seated literally in a corner at our table. Ultimately the menu's all high end classic/traditional bistro fare, a little comfort food-ish perhaps. Desserts however were a disappointment. We'll go back if it's still open next Xmas."
Dined on 12/24/2013
"Food was so, so...we felt like we were eating with the tables on either side of us. Most notable, hostess (owner), was not welcoming or friendly. She was preoccupied with getting people in and out. I would expect a small restaurant owner would come by and ask how everything was, which was just ok. Will not give it another try."
Dined on 12/14/2013
"When the waitress was asked to substitute a side (potatoes for onion rings) on a $35 entre she replied that "chef likes to have a consistent presentation". When she was asked to see if chef would make an exception, the owner came to the table to explain that because they were a small and busy restaurant they made no exceptions for substitutions. Although not a chef, it is hard for me to understand the difficulty in accomodating a diner's reasonable request to substitute one menu side for another. Since our party of four, and our friends and acquaintences will not be dining there again, perhaps chef will have more time to cater to his customers wishes."

"Very creative and great tasting dinner. The desert sampler was outstanding."
Dined on 12/13/2013
"Over-priced for what it is, where it is. No liquor license so wine and beer only. Wine list limited but good. Description of menu item does not always match what comes out on plate."

"amazing amazing amazong ...food is clean ,simple and excellent . From begining to end total hit .Expensive but worth it"
Dined on 12/7/2013
"This new entrant matches or even surpasses Vagabondi, the trendy restaurant that it has replaced in situ. Well conceived menu and a sound wine list. Service is very professional and friendly. Only issue is the staggered seating times with nothing available in the most popular 6:45 PM-7:45 PM slots."
Dined on 12/6/2013
"Loved this restaurant! We had to wait a bit too long but we sat outside and drank wine while we waited so it wasn't too bad. Service was excellent and personal. The food was fantastic. A jewel of a restaurant that was sorely needed! Can't wait to go back."
Dined on 11/30/2013
"From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by Aliza, chef Mathew's wife. The restaurant is hidden in in a small strip center. We were overwhelmed with the food and service, it was above our expectations. The wine list is boutique style but even a picky sommelier could find a favorite on the list. The restaurant is small, make sure you make reservations in advance because word is getting out about this not-to-miss restaurant. We shared the crab cakes, tuna & beet appetizers each was a seperate symphony on flavors that make you want to fight over the last bite. The Entrees also are extraordinary, simply prepared so the flavors are truly to be savored."

"What a wonderful find. We will definitely be back. Great, simple wine list; notable food options; friendly knowledgeable servers. Not overly expensive. What could be better. I only hate to give a great review as it will be difficult to get in during the season."

"Went expecting a 5 star experience- especially given the $$$$$$! More bang for the buck at other restaurants"
Dined on 11/19/2013
"Great to see new places like this open up in this area. A very tastefully decorated space with attentive service. Although the food was well presented we found everything we had lacked seasoning. The "signature dish" was not as special as it was explained- our server was SO enthusiastic about the food our expectations were high. Serving mostly an older clientele perhaps spice and salt is a consideration but it made the difference for us between very good and great."
Dined on 11/13/2013
"the food choices were very good, lovely presentation, resturant too small, 2 seatings, 6 & 8 pm, can be a bit noisy when crowded. manager and service people very friendly and accomodating, great chef."
Dined on 11/13/2013
"We had a wonderful dinner. Would definitely go back. However, because it's so small, substitutions are not allowed."
