   This was my 1st time there, Awful table service, awful food. The male waiter was rude, obnoxious, and not customer friendly. He deliberate brought lukewarm water when asked. He had an attitude because he didn't eat, and was unfocused on performing great customer service.. Unacceptable! Never again! For our bill to be $200 dollars, with 28% gratuity. It was a HORRIBLE experience. I felt like I got cheated out of my money.

   1st and 2nd time I went Service was great at the bar. 3rd time I actually dined in with family and Servicer was slow. Food was salty (seafood gumbo and dark gravy). Tried to over charge me for a drink. I am from out of town and did not enjoy myself when dining in.

   First off the service was great. From the time I walked in & left. My waiter was so polite and friendly. I wish I remembered his name but the food is AMAZING! I had the Mississippi catfish and grits with a blackberry margarita. When I come back to Chicago I’m going again. Would highly recommend.

    This was my second time dining. The first time was almost 1 year ago and the experience was horrible. This time was much better. Arianna was attentive. It was a delay in getting our check but overall much better customer service. Food was excellent. The peach cobbler is 🔥. The downfall is security checking handbags and pat down before entering. This is the only restaurant downtown that does this. I understand it's for safety, however, disheartening that we can't dine with family without fear.

    Disappointed...didn't know what to expect. Wasn't sure when I came through the door if I was coming to a nightclub or to dinner. I've never had my purse checked going to dinner. Food was nothing to write home about. Drink was good with the rock candy garnish. I felt I overpaid for what I got mediocre food, busy with people and staff looking like chickens with their heads cut off, no intimacy about the place. Server was nice, but wasn't pleased with food nor price. I saw. I went. I won't be going back.

    While the food, drinks, and service are decent, the pricing is ridiculous. High priced entrees with $15 sides and $25 drinks. The restaurant is located in a high priced area but the restaurant itself is not aligned. Please rework your pricing to at least include 1 side with all entrees.

    This was our second visit. We had reservations and were seated as soon as we arrived. We had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. The Mississippi Catfish and Grits for the entree. All were delicious. The service and atmosphere were great as well. Check them out…

    My husband and I were skeptical because of other reviews, I’m so glad we didn’t listen. The food was so good, and drinks were amazing . It’s such a vibe, our waitress was Emma she was so sweet and accommodating. And again the food was actually good! I don’t know too many soul food places that I actually like and taste like home cooking. I love it here, and can’t wait to visit again when we’re in the chi.

    Very un-attentive waitress. Food was average for soul food at best. Most of options came out warm not hot. Ive never been to a resturant that claims to be a cocktail resturant that serves basically kool aid as a rum punch. Im certain there was no alcohol in that drink for a whooping $17 bucks. Expected to spend at least $200 but this place isnt the place to do that. Much better options for BOB soul food in chicago and much better food options in downtown area.

    Kitchen and Kocktails was swanky and food was very good. The service however was below par. Waitress was not attentive at all. Maybe under staffed? Besides that cute restaurant. I would return and also recommend

    My only complaint is relating to the tipping policy and interactions with staff. There was a 20% mandatory tip placed on the bill. That's generally the percentage we would tip anyway but didn't enjoy being asked by the server to consider an additional tip that would go directly to her.

    Our first visit. The decor in some areas was energetic but in our area it was subdued, mostlt done in black. The atmosphere where we were was more like a lounge. The music was loud resulting in loud conversations. The service was very good but at first there were some communication issues with the staff. The food was superb! Everything we ordered was on point. They do not label it "soul food" but it was soulful food. Too, there is a nice variety to the menu but some of the sides were overpriced ($9.00 for cornbread?) But the experience was great and we plan on returning at some time.
