Profile

You cannot beat the baked goods from Kitchenette, particularly the mixed-berry pie. As for dinner itself, simple is better, usually. For example, the Caesar salad has a hint of anchovy as tradition warrants. Aromatic oven-roasted garlic fries are a nice complement to the sandwiches. However, the oven-roasted chicken with basilbread stuffing can be a bit bland. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Note

If you crave cherry pie, try Kitchenette's flaky, pleasingly acerbic year-round standard.

The place may specialize in comfort food, but they do things their own way; and if you don't like it, that's your problem. The people at Kitchenette surely do not subscribe to the theory that the customer is always right. Menu items often do not fit the descriptions, but don't take issue with it, because if you complain their response will simply be "that's how we do it here." C'mon Kitchenette, it's not like you have Thomas Keller in the kitchen putting his spin on things. Make the food the way the diner expects it. Oh--and it's overpriced.

I'd heard great things about Kitchenette, but when my husband and I went there for breakfast a couple weeks ago, it was a huge let down. I ordered a waffle, and it was practically inedible. I didn't even eat a quarter of it, just ate the fruit off the top. Fortunately, I wasn't that hungry. My husband said his omelet was good, but the biscuit wasn't, and the peanut butter cookie we bought for a snack later was fine, but the waffle was soooo bad that I will never go back. Maybe the intern messed up the batter or someone was having a bad day, but they should be ashamed of the food they served me.
