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.

Note

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

Recommended Dishes

Mixed berry pancakes, $10.50; caesar salad, $12; turkey meatloaf, $17

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.

Restaurants have egos, who knew?

Living uptown, its hard to find a great brunch place. So when I went to kitchenette the first time, i really enjoyed it, but it was a slow day. I've been back on Sunday and let me tell you it can be a nightmare. 1) not all the tables are made to be eaten at so if you get a bad one youÂ’re screwed. 2) They fill that place up to the max and its surely a fire hazard and it makes eating a lil odd when you are seated closely to strangers. Lastly, the waiter takes your order and you often donÂ’t see him until your bill. That is my biggest pet peve! So much like the ppl above the service is def lacking, not in manners but in presence. If they could fix that, it would help! I get that they want to make as much money as possible in this economy, but squishing us all in there isnÂ’t a good thing. Take it for what its worth. i do love the sausage!
