| - Arrived at 6:30 on a Tuesday night and had a 45-60 minute wait. That's fine, had a glass of wine at the bar (only 1 Cabernet option available, $12). Bar service was fine, no problems and we were eventually able to find seats at the bar for our wait. We were seated after about 45 minutes and placed our orders for more drinks & the poke appetizer. After a few minutes of looking over the limited menu, we placed our dinner orders. The appetizer came out at the same exact time as our dinner order, which was unfortunate. The poke bowl was great, the rest of the dinner, meh. I had Platter #1 ($22) which included fried fish, fried shrimp and very fried fries. My friend had the same thing and her fish was about twice the size of mine! That was my favorite part of the dinner, so I was bummed. The avocado slaw was pretty good too, and I was thankful for it after seeing all the fried food on my small plastic tray.
I had a good time with my friends, but for the $75 I ended up spending, I would have rather gone to a higher end steakhouse or seafood restaurant. This place is entirely too loud and the lighting in the dining area is horrible. I felt like I was in a rehabbed Pizza Hut rather than a totally renovated waterfront restaurant. I expected more from the Kindred's...I love Kindred, so I had high expectations. I'll try again in the summer and hope the menu, prices, and the outdoor area will keep me coming back. Fingers crossed!
