Oh, Kitchen 56. Your retro charm, tasty noms and friendly service will definitely keep me coming back. Plus, who doesn't love a sparkling clean restaurant? I know I do.
I met friends for drinks and apps, and we all loved our food and left with some in boxes. The appetizers portion sizes really could be a meal in themselves. Our original plan was to meet at another nearby restaurant but there was no parking- Kitchen 56 definitely has parking to spare. A good amount by the front, then a HUGE lot on the other side of the street.
Drinks were on the spendy side, but we knew we were paying for nice atmosphere, tasty unique drinks like the Green Tea "Adult Lemonade" with mashed up strawberries and mint. SO GOOD.
Our waiter was attentive and very friendly, and the manager even came out and visited with us for awhile.
Overall, this is a great place to meet friends and be able to talk and not compete with loud music or a noisy street. Thumbs up!
