They do everything prior to your visit to make it feel like it's going to be a very special evening. I love that they have plenty of thoughtful non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. If you tell them it's a special occasion, they'll leave you a card in celebration. A kind gesture, but I have to say that I was expecting something a little more elegant. The service wasn't what I would call warm, but it was professional and timing perfect. There was a surprising number of families that appeared to be regulars. I wish their children's behavior had been a bit more restrained, but what can you do? The menu is presented in "experiences", suggested progressions based on a personal experience the chef had. The food was magnificent and felt special. We were both pleasantly surprised with each course. It was a delicious, unique experience and we loved it.
Very unfriendly staff at the door. Service was okay but not Michelin-grade e.g. our server would come after we finished a dish to ask if we enjoyed it and we saw them maybe every 20 min. Atmosphere was not warm or welcoming at all. Food and drinks were fine but nothing special that I would return for. Hard pass on Kinship ever again for me.
The food was amazing, I wish I had a second stomach so I could have eaten more. We split the pork jowl and the roast chicken. Both were amazing. The pork all but fell apart when you went to cut it with a fork and had some amazing flavor profiles. The chicken was also delicious. Perfectly roasted and seasoned and with all the sides it really made me wish I could have kept eating. We finished off with a desert which was a bit smaller than I had hoped but still delicious and they were able to accommodate for a nut allergy which was much appreciated.
The restaurant is nice, with a warm atmosphere. We actually had to sit downstairs because they were having issues with the AC, but that was fine. The food is delicious, but be aware that the plates are somewhat well-served, so you don't need to order more than 3 in total. We made the mistake of ordering 4 each thinking that the portions would be small, but in the end it was too much food. The crab crepe/salad, the scallops, and the lobster French toast were the highlights, and the cocktails were great too. The service is formal but nice. I went to celebrate my anniversary and they had a card for us and gave us a tiny dessert to celebrate. The desserts were good, but honestly I was expecting more.
This is my favorite fine dining in the city so brace yourself for a detailed review. The food is incredible and the ambiance is refined without being uptight. It's expensive, but I think it's actually great value - especially for a Michelin-starred experience. The menu is odd, with dishes broken out into categories. The waiter will explain it to you. The dishes themselves are creative and extremely well thought out. The menu changes often to showcase ingredients that are in season. Dishes incorporate things you've never tried before - pekin duck with poached rhubarb and pistachio butter, crab pastry with compressed melon and red pepper sorbet, a corn crema fritta with basil infused blueberry gelée and corn ice cream. I've tried about a dozen dishes and every bite has been amazing. As you'd expect, service is flawless. The waitstaff will answer your every question and offered the perfect wine pairing for us and a reasonably priced option, too. The cocktails are delicious, but we limited ourselves to one each. Your money is better spent on the food, in my opinion. My mild criticisms would be that it's on a busy street, so try to get seated in the back if you can. They also serve foie gras which really needs to be outlawed. There are so many foods that don't require animal cruelty, so I would love to see that respected in fine dining. Also, you should make a reservation in advance. All in all, if you're looking to spend <$100 pp for a starter, entrée, and dessert at an immaculate fine dining establishment, this is THE place. Put on your best dress, step out of your culinary comfort zone, and let Kinship wow you. It doesn't really get better than this.
This is absolutely the worst Michelin one star I’ve ever tried. Roast chicken: the side salad was good, but the chicken was very dry and tasteless. Ribeye: we went with medium-rare, but the center was almost white. Very chewy steak! Shoat leg: the worst pork smell. Veggies on the plate were not good match with the meat, the tomato actually brought out the smell of mutton. Lamb chop: again, very dried and overcooked. Service: no one cares, we were never asked even once how did things go. No one explained the dish, or even tried to tell us what is what. To be fair, they helped us change plates very frequently. For restaurants at this level, very disappointing overall. Much better food in Tail Up Goat, Gravitas, Rose’s, much better service at Fiola, Pineapple Pearl!
My son and daughter in-law, but she is definitely my daughter took me to Kinship for an early birthday dinner. It was amazing! I have to say reviews are so subjective! I did not experience any of the negative events others describe. The staff were on point and professional at all levels. Timing of course was on target and not rushed.Staff were all very pleasant and accommodating. I felt like the portions were perfect. I did not feel overstuffed at the end of the meal, but rather satisfied. This was my first time not my children’s eating at a Michelin star restaurant and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. One of the best surprises is that the atmosphere was not at all pretentious. I believe anyone would feel comfortable dining at Kinship. I may be completely “off base,” but feel the atmosphere is intentional. I had the lobster French toast as a starter, lamb chops for the entree, and pineapple shortbread for dessert. WOW is the only way to sum it up. I would love to visit again and relive the experience! P.S. The slightly less formal vibe was a PLUS! Thank you for making a wonderful birthday memory that was about an experience, not a gift that adds to the collection! I thought of taking pictures well after I began to eat, so please be forgiving!
This is some of the best food I have ever had. The flavors, the presentation, the freshness of the food were all outstanding. The knowledgeable staff have no problem explaining any questions you may have with the menu. If you are in DC this is a place you must eat.Food: 5/5
Service is really great there. Food is affordable for the quality. I liked the fisherman assortment—flavorful and generous portion.Food: 4/5
My husband and I celebrated our 16th anniversary dinner here this week. We had an awesome time. The service was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. Great lighting, good background music, and the restaurant was cozy but not overcrowded. The food and drinks were top notch. Paced well. The plating was beautiful and the various combinations of flavor profiles was really interesting and delicious. Highly recommend making reservations as they book up sometimes a week out. Only open Wed-Sun
