| - Really quaint venue that has a feel for brunch any day of the week. Really open area with some seating out front and a bar (no TV). We got seated quickly and got overwhelmed by the menu. Tons of options from breakfast to brunch to lunch, all sounding fantastic. I ended up ordering the frittatta with sausage on the side. The food finally came out and was honestly pretty fantastic. Frittata was made of egg whites but came out large and had super flavor; really nice-looking mushrooms and plenty of veggies inside. The side of sausage had a crunchy skin and was cooked just to the right temperature. The best part was the hot sauce selection. Ghost pepper, habanero, and a few others that I can't remember. My stomach was rumbling with happiness and water was a necessity for sure. Kitchen Table Squared has their food and hot sauce game down pat.
The bad part, which knocks this review, comes from two things. First, the parking is awful. Even if you find a lot in the back lot, you need to walk all the way to the front rather than using the back door. And the parking attendants love giving tickets as well. Second, the service was oh so slow. We were seated and order taken within 10 minutes. Food literally did not come until 45 minutes later. The waiter even stopped coming to our section and avoided eye contact towards the end of our long wait; three times he came over apologizing for the wait before that. The manager came over as well two separate times. In the end, all we got 20% off. I think we shouldn't gotten a free entree or even a free monkey bread or the like to compensate for the wait, but I guess 20% is better than nothing.
Kitchen Table excels at the food. Prime spot for brunch, though not the cheapest with most dishes starting at $12 or more. I would be back for a leisurely brunch, but I'll be prepared to wait.
