   Food was great location very good, waiters need more training didn’t know the menu, didn’t know wine selection, didn’t know the special of the day. Very slow an under experienced. Training must be done at such a high end place.

   Service was excellent, food average. Live music was much too loud unless you are interested in the music more than conversation. It was difficult to hear over the music.

   Our waitress Michelle was great! She was handling a big party and still did an amazing job. The drinks were just ok and my dish was just ok as well. I had the sea bass and it lacked flavor, was small in size and was nothing to write home about. The lamb chops were just ok and everything else was just ok.. lol.. it’s a little overrated but I might give them a second try

   Love the decoration and the vibes here, like a mini museum. The was delicious, just some of them were too crispy. Their cocktails are bomb! Service was great, but not phenomenal, maybe I expected more. But overall, it was the great experience, not too pricey.

   Overall the experience was a good one. The food is very tasty , served hot , and generous portions. The price was fair. We were served mimosas that were on the warm side but the issue was promptly rectified by a manager. Our only issue was that that the music was very loud and it was hard to have a conversation without speaking loud. I hope the managers pay attention to that because then it seems more like a lounge than a fine restaurant. Other than that , we had a great time and will visit again based on the delicious food served promptly & hot, and kind service.

   Atmosphere was great. The music mix of the pianists with DJ mix was well done. They seemed to be short 1-2 wait staff and the drinks took a bit too long on each order. Lobster bisque was fantastic. If not a truffle or wagyu fan this isn’t your place, but it was great for us. Will defiantly go back.

   That ribeye was one of the most delicious I’ve ever had. And the short rib Mac & cheese? My goodness.

   A group of 7 enjoyed dinner at The Kennedy. Overall experience was wonderful. Cocktails were delicious, food excellent. Portions were spot on and well presented. Only suggestion is cocktails were a little slow coming out.

   Wonderful experience. The avocado toast was AMAZING. The sound level was fine while we were there, but the music amped up when the DJ came in just as we were about to leave.

    The food was savory and full of flavor. I had the duck carbonara, the Mrs. had the lobster twist pasta. Both amazing but let’s just say my wife couldn’t stop picking at my plate. The restaurant is well designed, some small things I noticed were some of the bar stools needed to be deeper cleaned, and the chair I was in a little unstable. Still the staff was great and the atmosphere was pleasant.
