    Went here for an anniversary dinner a few weeks ago and it was a terrific experience. We used to live in Manhattan and couldn't help comparing the experience to the likes of Le Bernardin, Babbo, etc. It was definitely up there in all aspects- attention to detail, knowledgeable wait staff, perfect execution. The actual dining room itself was okay but we were there for the food and I was definitely glad to be surrounded by 30+ age group diners.

    Our evening at Kinship ranks up there, with memorable dinners at the two or three top restaurants in the Washington, DC area. Our visiting out-of-town friend, who regularly travels around the world (literally), was awed, as my spouse and I were, with the consistently superb quality of every dish, the perfection of preparation, and the elegance of presentation. All of this was enhanced by correctly recommended wines, highly professional service, and a "classy" ambiance. We can't wait to return!

    The experience here was fantastic. Our server was knowledgeable, astute, and friendly. Food was all fantastic, and my boyfriend's drink was the "best old fashioned he's ever had." We had a small food allergy and they were more than accommodating about it. We will definitely come back for more special occasions!

    I was pleased with my experience at Kinship, but I don't believe that I will be going back. I enjoyed about half of the dishes that we ordered, including the tuna appetizer, the grilled shoat, and the Vietnamese banana fritters. However, I was underwhelmed by some of the other dishes. I enjoyed going to Kinship as a one-time experience to check off the list, and I'd recommend it for adventurous eaters willing to take a chance and potentially be disappointed. Service was really amazing, and the ambiance is exquisite.

    Lovely, cozy setting with very attentive staff! Sunday dinner so we were all going for a lighter dinner, so order several apps to accompany a shared entree. Sea bass to share was lovely, came with roasted cauliflower, mini-porter house rolls. We enjoyed also the crispy taro root appetizer, too. We also enjoyed the Vietnamese banana fritters for dessert.

    What I can say about Kinship is....... it all makes sense. From the walk through the door you are welcomed by people who care and want to make your experience an exceptional one. It was our anniversary so when sat at the table there was a card to congratulate us and I knew we were in for a great meal. The service is almost robotic in a way where it doesn’t seem fake but a guiñe care for the customer. Food pace is perfectly executed while the service team replaces and replenishes your water, silverware, and bread. Food is being prepared in the back awaiting for the arrival. The food is just as amazing as the service. The sunchoke with Avocado and Ají Dulce peppers is a must try. So is the quail. Entres of Duck confit and Braised Shoat shoulder really sent it over the top. Eating here you really understand and see what a great restaurant is about. The team here has all bought into the concept and work like clock work. It’s a pleasure to come here and I will continue to sing the praise of your team and your restaurant. Very well done Kinship! Thank you!

    Impeccable service with genial and well-trained staff. Food was incredible. Small plates with distinct flavor profiles that reflect the skill and talent of the chefs. Each waiter is also sommelier trained and had excellent wine recommendations with each course. Very accommodating with allergies (gluten free bread is unreal!) and thoughtful touches for birthdays. We are definitely coming back!!

    Celebrated Valentine’s Day dinner at Kinship. The customer service was wonderful. The cocktails were great. As for the food, am not sure if I am happy or disappointed. I mean, it was great overall. However, comparing it to other fine dining restaurants and/or one starred Michelin starred restaurants, I don’t think they are at par with them. For example, if I haven tried Marcel’s boudin blanc, I would say it’s great. But, I have to say Marcel’s is better. And, I would stay away from their Moulard Duck Foi Gras Confit. I love foi gras and never had a bad one. I have my favorites and not, but I would say theirs is the worst for me. Overall, it’s a great restaurant. I just can’t say it’s the best one out there.

    Some of the best food I have had in DC, the menu was exceptional, the lobster french toast was out of this world, and the service and ambiance were something I would expect from a much more expensive restaurant. I would go back in a heartbeat, the staff decor and food were an experience unto themselves. Will recommend to anyone looking for an elevated food experience in DC

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at kinship. The portion size was just right. The quality of the scallops and the overall venison dish were superb. The Jerusalem artichokes and pommes anna were very tasty starters. The 4/5 stars was because of the chocolate tart with lapsang souchong; very smoky taste. Maybe others love it, but we found it a bit odd. Service was outstanding. We will be back often.

    I specifically selected anniversary under special occasion when I made the booking, but nothing was done differently for the occasion. We found that surprising and disappointing, epecially the fact that the two tables next to us received cards, complimentary desserts and were wished a happy anniversary.

    This was our first time to kinship, but not our last. The menu is creative and organized in columns of "style/feeling" with a couple of starters, a couple of entrées, and a couple of desserts in each. The food was first-rate and well priced for the quality. There were a number of locally sourced meats and produce. The wine list was smart with a good variety. Especially noteworthy was the list of very good 375ml bottles.

    Exceptional in every way though you can’t have the 4# chicken unless you can commit an extra 80 minutes to the cooking process. The sausage and cod were our second choices and they didn’t disappoint
