Located in DTLA on Grand Avenue at The Music Center, Kendall’s is a modern take on a classic French Brasserie. Guests are invited to dine al fresco on the patio, with an inventive cocktail at a modern bar, or over a meal in a light, expressive interior. With a focus on local ingredients, the menu reenergizes classic French dishes like Braised Short Rib and Salmon Buerre Blanc with a touch of “je ne sais quoi”.

    We always love dinner at Kendall’s. The new menu is delightful and has some great new additions plus a few more vegetable options, which was much appreciated by some in our party. I had the duck confit, which was fork tender and had a good flavor. I did think, however, that it was a bit over salted. But not to the point of being displeasing. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and our server was so helpful and charming that she put the star on top of the experience. We will be returning soon.

    We always delight in a pre-theater meal at Kendall’s. We know the service and food will be top notch and we need merely meander over to the theater.y husband loved the Loup de Mer in the Buerre Blanc sauce. I always order the Steak Frites and am never disappointed. A special meal to complete a wonderful evening.

    Good food. Good, seasoned servers. They'll get you in and out if you're going to a show. Well run restaurant.

    Everything was lovely, however my braised short rib wasn’t juicy, so disappointing.

    The beet salad, normally delicious as we've ordered it several times before, was way too salty. It usually has goat cheese and caramelized walnuts. This didn't and had a new dressing and some salty maple bacon hard stuff. Tasted like the beets were oversalted too. However, the waitress took it off the bill which we appreciated. The short rib dinner was delicious as was the chocolate gelato and pots de creme for dessert. Decaf coffee was good too.

    Unfortunately, due to staffing shortage in the kitchen, numerous menu items were not available. When we did get our food it was a little cold. Our waitress was pleasant, but she couldn’t make up for the issues in the kitchen.

    Oh, my, what is happening to the restaurants at the Music Center? One closed, and Kendall's has gone way downhill, at least as we experienced it one Sunday evening before Christmas '24. They don't have a huge menu, but by 5:15 p.m. they were out of at least 1 thing in every category. They had even run out of baked bread! One of the things we had ordered was the Brussel sprouts in balsamic vinegar glaze. It was burned and not tasty at all; when the table next to ours was told that the kitchen was out of Brussel sprouts, we offered them ours! Admittedly small sample, so maybe others' food was better. But there's no denying they were not adequately stocked.
