Happy Hour on Friday - Food was great. There were 3 of us- shared Baked clams, Blistered shishito peppers , sautéed spinach & chicken cassoulet. Happy hour wine bottles are 1/2 price. Everything was very tasty. The Cassoulet was excellent. Service was excellent as well.

The service was excellent from start to finish. The GM was around keeping an eye out and stepping in to make sure everything went smoothly. The food was creative and tasty. We had a suggestion, like usual, and they listened attentively. The wine list was very nice and the glass pours were reasonable. We will definitely return

The only less-than-stellar part was extremely loud shouting by a few patrons in bar area. Their shouting made it difficult to communicate with table-mates even while seated on the other side of the room. This was not Super Bowl, Final Four or World Series Game 7 so the shouting seemed unnecessary even to me—a sports fan.

Our food and service were excellent! We ordered a little bit of everything including grilled and raw oysters, the chilli garlic prawns, arancini, salads, steaks, aragosta, risotto, green beans, wine, espresso martinis, olive oil cake, and tiramisu. Every single thing was to die for and I’d order it all again! The vibes were perfect for a Saturday night date night or even girls night out. We will definitely be returning again and again!

Ibrahim and Tarek have built an incredible culture and atmosphere at Court Street Kitchen, but the real star is the food—absolutely out of this. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality and a vibrant energy that makes you want to stay awhile. Every dish is crafted with care, packed with flavor, and leaves you wanting to come back for more. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on something special
