    I had an absolutely delightful dining experience! The food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was savory, packed with flavor, and simply delicious. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the meal. The cozy atmosphere added an extra layer of comfort, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, this spot is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!

    Best dish I had today was the French Onion Soup! Also loved my espresso martini!! Top rate service. Can always rely on Kendall's when I'm at the Music Center or Disney Concert Hall, or nearby.

    Oh it was the most wonderful evening! The waiter was on top of things the food was so so good (my date was French and he loved it!). He had escargot and the Salmon. I had the endive salad and the boullibase. We had a bottle of Rose the bread basket and Creme brulee for dessert. Wonderful. Highly recommend. Make reservations and get there early as they ran out of one of the specials we wanted by 8pm. We will be back!
