Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley - Charlotte

Keeping it cute and klassy for a birthday celebration. Having reservations for a large party is required and everyone must be present to be seated. Tons of photo opts and a full bar for those who want to capture the moment. The hostess were extremely helpful and the owner was accessible assisting his team as needed. The music was a vibe for this two story restaurant. For starters we tried the collard greens dip served with toasted bread bites, very tasty. They also served deviled eggs topped with shrimp and egg rolls with a twist. The rum punch and tequila cranberry were reasonably priced. The food came out relatively fast for a party of 20. I ordered the Red beans and rice served over white rice with a chicken wing on top, well seasoned with a kick. My husband had the seafood sampler, a combination of fish and shrimp with fries (hush puppies included). A friend chose the salmon over a bed of dirty rice. I also saw the chicken and waffles, no complaints. The portions are pretty big as most of us had to go boxes. We will go back for sure. The location is downtown so prepare to park ($14).

I love this place. Our server Mylia was amazing. She gave us all good recommendations regarding drinks and food. Antoine(the manager) was very attentive the entire time, from entering the establishment to leaving. The host was nice as well(sorry I don’t remember her name). Having reservations was a plus as well. This was my first time here, but will not be my last.
