Profile

French doors let the light in to this pocket-sized space, which tucks a small bar, a couple of booths, and a few small tables into its high-ceilinged confines. An artfully constructed aesthetic is also evident in the menu, a sometimes pleasing—and sometimes frightening—pastiche of French and Japanese cuisine. Offerings change frequently, but one standard is a seasonal interpretation of the bento box, with small portions showcasing contrasting flavors and textures. The guiding spirit behind this eclecticism is quirky owner/chef Marja Samsom, who's known as much for her unusual manner and tiny dog as for her ingredient-driven cooking. Go with an open mind.

My girlfriend and I had dinner at Kitchen Club about a month ago and loved it. We ordered appetizers, salads, entrees, wine, and deserts...all of which were fantastic. The pumpkin dumplings are a must. The staff was friendly -- especially Chibi...Read More
