   Not really a place for an intimate dining experience

   Food and drinks were great, and the DJ downstairs was a great vibe! However they overbooked reservations in which we did not get seated until 2 hours AFTER. The staff was apologetic however it was an inconvenience.

   Disappointed. The food was amazing and the ambiance was picture worthy! But the service and lack of consideration for the bad service superseded the food and decor. I made reservations for my partners 45th Birthday, the reservations were for 9:30 he and I arrived at 9:15 we were told by the hostess to give her 15 minutes. So we sat at the bar after about 45 minutes of waiting we ordered a drink. An hour and 30 minutes later we were asked by others who were waiting if we had made reservations as well. Fortunately the beautiful bartender overheard the conversations and she spoke to the manager finally we were seated. We were even told we only 1.5 hours to dine but the food took so long to come that the waitress advised that we could take our time. Needless to say my reservation request was not made, we ordered a 2nd round of drinks that never came , I could go on and on but this was not good. I will try kitchen and kocktails in Charlotte NC because I refuse to believe this establishment is undeserving of another chance to get it right. Best of wishes to you all!

   As always the food was outstanding. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The reservation part and the wait for our table was subpar. There was an overflow of people in the waiting area. I contacted the staff 30 minutes before my reservation time to ask about arriving early. Their response was yes. I arrive early and waited 30 minutes past the reservation time. But AGAIN THE FOOD DELICIOUS. Please bring back the bread pudding.

   We had a reservation for 3 people at 6PM. We arrived at 6PM. We did not get seated until 6:36PM. The host/hostess area was a madhouse. The staff was pleasant, patient and cool, but it was very unorganized. Our server came to the table at 6:40ish. She was very professional and personable. We explained that we needed to leave by 7:30 to make an event, so we were only ordering appetizers:. 2 orders of fried green tomatoes, 1 deviled egg order, 1 bowl of gumbo. She said that she would inform the kitchen but that given what we ordered, it wouldn’t be an issue. The food did not arrive to the table until 7:11. The food was delish and with a better overall experience, it could have been amazing. The FGT were cut way too thick, but everything tasted great. The noise level was ridiculous. We literally were yelling at each other across the table. Literally. The ambience was a missed opportunity. It looked like a lot of time and effort was put into making the restaurant “IG ready,” but no thought to the fact that the chairs were too wide for two of them to fit on one side of a table that was meant for 4 people. The fact that you had to scream to hear your table-mates was so annoying. …such a disappointment. Would I go back? Yes, for the food. Would I go back during any period of the day when others would be there (brunch, weekend dinner, happy hour)? Absolutely not.

   Ambience and food was the 10/10. They could use a little more help with service and timing of service. The DJ help smooth over the long wait times. Eventually when the waitress comes to take your order the drink some out fair quickly. I would advise ordering everything you want to order when the waitress first comes otherwise you won’t see them again for another 45minutes!

   First time going to K+K and it was amazing. I went with my fiancee and we most certainly enjoyed ourselves. The lamb chops were amazing and so was the fried okra. I wish the mac and cheese was baked but it was still great. Definitely would go again! -Delano

    The food was delicious! Waffles for an appetizer, cajun pasta for dinner. A bit more expensive than anticipated but delicious nonetheless
