Diego, KINDRED has garnered recognition which transcends its plant-based credo,

Ruby was so knowledgeable and excited about the food that I thought we were talking to the restaurant's owner rather than a server. We went there for the first time on my mom's birthday, they were totally on point with customer service and Ruby made sure that my mom had an exceptional dining experience.

Amazing food with options for herbivores, carnivores, and everyone in between. Our server was incredible. We would have liked to have been given a choice about whether to sit inside or outside but they were quick to turn on the heater to help with the chill. Everything was delicious and we will be back!

Thursday night DJ music Bachata lessons at 6:30. Arrived at 5:30 to drink some Sangiovese and fried calamari. Chilly, breezy, and perfect outdoor venue for dancing the night on the patio. People brought their own partners so no one is picking up anyone here, not like the three other wineries or olde towne. Friendly crowd nevertheless and everyone in good spirits and danced. My two glasses 35$ plus tip. Calamari 23$ plus tip. Overall nice night to catch up with friends. Plenty of room for big groups.
