Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley in DC is a vibrant spot known for its "amazing food" and lively atmosphere. Guests rave about dishes like shrimp & grits and chicken & waffles. While the service can be slow, the staff is generally attentive and friendly. The music creates a festive vibe, though it can be "very loud" for conversations. Dining here is on the pricier side, with some noting the a la carte pricing. Overall, it's a great place for "good vibes" and a memorable experience.

    The food was outstanding and the restaurant is beautiful. Unfortunately our server was extremely busy and we waited for our dessert order for over 30 minutes. We ended up canceling the order because of the delay.

    Food was very good. Service was a little slow especially since we went early in the week and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant but overall we had a great time and food was delicious.

    We should have figured out that “lively” in one description meant LOUD. OMG. I mean loud enough to get warning messages from our Apple Watches. We were a party of 6, and we literally could not hear the person next to us talking much less anyone else at our table. If you love southern style cuisine (collards, fried chicken & waffles, etc), you’ll love K &K. The kitchen was slow, but the food was great once it arrived. Our servers were pleasant but clearly the restaurant was understaffed during our visit. Beautiful and interesting crowd turned up on a Sunday midday.

    Our time was great as we pick a special place to dine each year to celebrate our sisterhood during the holidays. The catfish bites and the fried pickles were tasty. Our entrees were even better. I preferred the oxtails with rice instead of grits, though both were good. The shrimp and grits were flavorful and the chicken and waffles were excellent. Thanks to our amazing waiter Raphael and special thanks to the manager Moo, who made it worth it!

    Food and service were fine, but the menu was limited and they don’t serve coffee (seriously?). Does not live up to its self declared “high level” aspirations.

    Good lunch. Finding the entrance was the hardest part. The Wells Fargo Bank is also marked 1300 I St. It’s around the corner on 13th. The entrance to K&K is in the middle of the block on I Street.
