    Met a friend to show off Open Kitchen, a place we have goen for celebrations, group parties and cooking lessons over the eyras. The noise level from teh Mon. wine tasting in the patio area was unpleasant but we could still enjoy our converstation. I kept looking for the full menu only to find that the meals were more now tapas style. All of my favorites were gone. Then the serving staff announced that in Jan., Open Kitchen would not be open for regular meals. We will miss this neighborhood gem. We enjoyed making reservations through Open Table knowing we would be in for a treat. I credit Open Kitchen for the classes wheich inspired by 25 yr old son to confidently make souffles, soups and more.

    Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!

    When suburbanites find a gem just ten minutes from home, it makes battling traffic into the city less attractive.

    Ordered PEI Mussels, and they were a tad undercooked and the sauce was not very exciting. asparagus soup was quite good. My husband's pork cheeks were good. Service a little slow, especially at the end when it took 30 minutes to get coffee!

    Open to a new idea and an adventure, four of us tried Open Kitchen for the first time and were very impressed; finding every single menu item we tried to be absolutely over the top delicious. And, we sampled a lot. Additionally, the wine pairing (Spur) recommended by our waiter, Adam was also outstanding. I highlighly recommend this restaurant. Don't let its location fool you.

    The seasonal menu gives diners the option of sharing a variety of small plates or a larger traditional course. My wife and I shared 2 small plates and we each ordered a larger plate. This was too much food, but we were happy to take home what we could not finish. She had the pork chop, which was cooked to perfection, while I chose bison (nothing from my plate made it home). We also like the wines by the glass from the extensive list. I can't wait to go back before the Fall menu changes so that I can order the pork chop or maybe a few of the other small plates that we saw other diners enjoying. (I'm looking at you, lamb burger sliders.)

    A delightful time, as usual, at the open kitchen. We were part of the regular Monday wine tasting, but mostly just enjoyed the food and company. The charcuterie and cheese are now combined, so you can choose both In One platter. Great choices, including homemade pancetta. A very interesting Appalachian cheese. Had mussels with a very creamy wine sauce, lamb sliders and pork meatballs. All were excellent and the lamb especially did well with the wine.

    Open Kitchen was recommended to us by several people so we tried it and were very disappointed. The menu was small but we found a few interesting choices. Except for the mussels, all the dishes were pretty bland and uninteresting and since we ordered everything that appealed to us, we wouldn't return. Our waiter was lovely and attentive and they had a nice, very moderately priced wine list.

    Great dining experience. We enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching chef and his staff at work. Food was tasty and the small portions allowed us to share tastes easily.

    The new small plates menu for the fall has not yet been perfected. Long in potential bit the service was a little off as well. The waiter seeme. By stressed in resetting after a big party but the restaurant was empty. A little extra staff might have helped. He seemed flustered when finally arriving at our table and exclaiming how he hated the caios. We had to ask him to take our drink orders which he promptly did but delivered the eighth wines to the wrong persons. The gnocchi was fried a little too hard and the greenery was a bit salty. Mac and cheese a bit soupy. Halibut was excellent. We asked if the apple tart was served ala mode and was told yes. It arrived like warm and the ice cream just couldn't melt.
