   A Culinary Experience to Remember – Kitchen + Kocktails, Dallas As a world traveler and cuisine connoisseur, I’ve dined at some of the most revered restaurants across the globe, but Kitchen + Kocktails in Dallas delivered an experience that truly stood out. I booked a party of five to celebrate a new team member’s arrival and to welcome a remote colleague meeting the team in person for the first time. From the moment we stepped in, the energy, ambiance, and hospitality were second to none. The atmosphere was vibrant, the music set the perfect tone, and the staff made us feel right at home. Our server, David, went above and beyond, ensuring our first visit was nothing short of spectacular. His attentiveness and knowledge of the menu elevated our dining experience. Major kudos to Kevin and the entire team—brother, I don’t even know you, but I’m beyond proud of what you’ve built. Expanding a concept like this and cementing its place in the industry is nothing short of inspiring. Now, let’s talk food and drinks. We indulged in the 24 Karat cocktail, soul food egg rolls, salmon bites, and tomatoes, complemented by several shots of tequila reposado—each bite and sip was a testament to the culinary excellence of the Kitchen + Kocktails team. Every dish was seasoned to perfection, rich with flavor, and served with care. This experience was so exceptional that we’re already planning our next meetup for the end of March. Huge appreciation to the cooks, chefs, waitstaff, and door team—every detail was executed flawlessly. Kitchen + Kocktails isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. A league of its own. Can’t wait to be back!

   The food and service were excellent. Ambiance is nice and the music was not too loud. A little pricey if you add drinks and sides. You could easily pay at least $100 per person. I don’t mind the price as long as the food is good. Well worth it.

   Our server (Aisha?) was outstandingly friendly. Food was fantastic. Hubby had Bloody Mary that he said was wonderful. Son had lamb chops and shared a bite - maybe the best ones ever. Chicken and waffles were great - pro tip - ask for a side of hot honey. Shrimp and grits met our Louisiana standards. Sides were delicious as well - okra, Mac and cheese, cornbread. Definitely a vibe for brunch with a DJ and mimosa bottle service. Nice casual and fun.

   We were so looking forward to trying this place out, however, we were sadly disappointed. Our server tried his best to make it a good experience, but we left less than impressed. No cold white wine anywhere in the restaurant. Red wine selections were subpar and overpriced. I get it’s a cocktail bar, but not everyone wants sugary sweet mixed drinks. Didn’t even get our drinks until post appetizer and after meal was delivered. Trio appetizer was not worth the hype. Crab cake was overcooked and deviled eggs had no flavor. Lamb chops were decent. I will say the chicken fried chicken and short rib were good, but not worth the drive to Dallas.

    This is my 6th time here and all the time it was great but this time. We was sent upstairs to wait even with a reservation which we waited another 30 mins to sit.. we were sat in the corner. We ordered our drinks but didn’t get our drinks until we finished eating our food. Well I didn’t eat my Mc and cheese wasn’t baked. It was just an horrible experience and I will not be coming back!
