    My wife and I had our anniversary dinner at The Kitchen this week. The Kitchen is the answer to my wish for a great, relaxed, quality restaurant in Austin. The space is elegant and comfortable. The food is innovative and delicious. The staff are experienced and responsive, but not cloying. Also, a high quality wines-by-the-glass and extensive wine list. Thanks for investing in Austin.

    Every experience here has been great- we have tried nearly everything on the menu except the tomahawk, in 3 visits. The menu is creative and modern. The space is beautiful. Can't wait to return for another round!

    Ambiance was amazing. Loved the look of the place. Really want to come back and sit at that bar! Everything we ate was delicious. We had the carrots, tagliatelle, grilled oysters, steak tartare, and bone marrow and every dish was so good. I was surprised to see this place so empty on a Saturday night. Definitely one of the better restaurants in Austin. Word needs to get out!!

    Crudo was amazing! Oysters were good; however, you are only served 4 per order. Something was off about the taste of the gnocchi. Churro Donuts are good; however, I am not a fan of the coffee ice cream.
