Located in DTLA on Grand Avenue at The Music Center, Kendall’s is a modern take on a classic French Brasserie. Guests are invited to dine al fresco on the patio, with an inventive cocktail at a modern bar, or over a meal in a light, expressive interior. With a focus on local ingredients, the menu reenergizes classic French dishes like Braised Short Rib and Salmon Buerre Blanc with a touch of “je ne sais quoi”.

    Brunch is typically creative and indulgent but it would have been better at a diner.

    I frequently dine at Kendall’s prior to event at Music Center. I had Steak frites as my entree. For dessert I had coffee and macarons. My meal was great and excellent service. I would recommend Kendall’s.

    I rarely write reviews; however, we were very disappointed with our lunch today. Our server, Kate was fantastic but she was the only good thing about the lunch. The food was poor and disappointing. We both ordered the TBLT. The turkey was not fresh, it was processed. The avocado was a spread and very little of it. The bacon was cheap and fatty and the salad was all of 3 bites. It is not what it used to be, and for $26 I expected at least 1/2 the plate with lettuce, a decent salad. Service was great and Kate was very friendly and great, that was the only thing good about the lunch.

    service was very uneven. Started out pretty well, but then the time between first course and main course was VERY long, our server seemed to have disappeared even though she knew we had a curtain time to make, had to talk to someone else who checked, apologized and said it was being plated, The 5 of the 6 entrees came out, but one persons wasn't ready. Took another 10+ minutes for the last main to show up. So we went from having a lot of time to being worried and rushed. Food was somewhat uneven. Salads and brussel sprout starters were good. Mussels got mixed reviews. One person felt the sauce was lacking in flavor. Loup de Mer/branzino was good , as were the steak frites and short ribs. Person who ordered the pasts dish said it wasn't great and he would not order it again.

    This was our first time to see a performance of the LA OPERA. I wanted to have dinner before the performance and felt that something at the Music Center itself would be best because of the traffic. Good call. Viewing the menu in advance of our evening, it seemed good but frankly, I had only moderate expectations. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! We started dinner out with a shared Caesar Salad which was excellent and the bread was fantastic. For dinner, my wife had the Steak Frites and I had the Brick1/2 Chicken. They were both superb. Our server was extremely polite and attentive. The noise level was low. You can talk and actually hear what the other person is saying. This is going to be our new go-to restaurant prior to attending performances.

    The mussels, fries, and brussel sprouts were excellent. Kate was especially good. Salad dressing not so good. We didn’t order bread because $10 is ridiculous. This should be free. The charge creates negativity. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

    Dissappointing. I have been growing here for years and I was very pleased with the new management in the beginning, but it is not holding up well. The facilities do not seem to being well maintained and the service is prompt, but not of the same high caliber that I have seen in the past.

    Love the new menu and great service (thanks Jaela S!) it is too noisy to hear dinner companions, a fault of too many restaurants. Will return.
