    We were in town from Los Angeles . Kitchen & Kocktails came highly recommended by friends. Well, we had to see for ourselves. The food was spectacular. Everything we ate exploded with flavor in our mouths . The Cajun shrimp deviled eggs were a nice starter had to order a second one. I have had plenty of fried chicken in my life but this was the best chicken I ever tasted. I don’t know what kind of seasonsing was one it but once you have had it you will never forget out. I opted for the Jerk Lamb as my entree. To my delight delicious. Excellent attentive service by Myra. We need a Kitchen & Kocktails in Los Angeles . Will most definitely recommend to anyone coming to the DC area.

    Considering the prices, you think the food and service would exceed your expectations. But quite frankly pricing drinks starting at $42 dollars is just ridiculous! There was no presence of alcohol within the mix drinks. The food was good but the portions were small compared the price tag attached to them. The layout of the restaurant was nice but it empty at what should be peak hours. Most likely because everything is overpriced and they are over compensating for the lack of traffic.

    On a definitely NOT BUSY Sunday afternoon, it took very long to get our food. It was somewhat undercooked/pink chicken which was also overly seasoned and not as crispy as specifically ordered. Portions are considerably small. Service and food did not match up to the high prices.
