    I was on vacation all the way from New Orleans and made reservations to try this restaurant. I was so excited. I checked the hours of operation. It said they were open. I made a reservation. Paid for an Uber to go across town to the location only to find out that the location is closed. There was no sign on the door. There was no notification and it’s still allowed me to make a reservation. I am thoroughly disappointed in this establishment don’t waste your time Like I did.

    Kitchen Savages is an amazing spot to eat, have a drink, and meet great people in the community. Darrell was an amazing bartender and provided 5 Star service. The food was definitely all that it is said to be. I will be back whether just for a drink or to enjoy Brunch or dinner. You have to try it.

    The service was excellent. The owner was very attentive and accommodating. The food was just okay...hit or miss. We started out with the crab cake egg rolls...delicious. I highly recommend. The greens were fresh and delicious, and the honey garlic wings were tasty. However, the mac and cheese was too spicy and the noodles weren't fully cooked, and the catfish was seasoned perfectly but overcooked. The cheesecake (all 3 flavors) was yummy. I wouldn't object to going back, if I was in the area, but wouldn't make it a priority.

    Food was very good, and visually appealing; atmosphere was pleasant and the seasonal music in the background was enjoyable. Will return.

    This place definitely has a great vibe. The host/waiter was very attentive to guests and really made us feel welcomed. The appetizers were also creative takes on some tried and true staples such as the lamb egg rolls which I highly recommend. The gumbo was also an interesting take on a classic dish with the use of healthier proteins. It had the right level of space and a good aftertaste that left you wanting more. The drinks were also very tasty. Moving on to the main dishes, is where it gets interesting. In order to bring out all the flavor in meat; there needs to be some browning the meat we got was put into a wet marinade, and cooked at too low temperature to give it its full potential. The same could be said for the lobster that was missing the corn relish, and a little past the point of succulent. There were some great dishes like the braised collard greens and corn bread which should be married. Moving on to dessert, another winner. My wife who doesn’t typically like bread pudding loved this one. Same for the apple crisp. In summary, this is a little gem in the city. Glad I went and will definitely be coming back. I hope the next visit has the same staff.

    This was a short notice lunch meeting with a colleague and the right place.. good midday location, warm reception and awesome food. The lunch special was a great deal, but we veered off to get additional food items. The menu is an eye catching experience. You want to try everything. My first experience with Oysters Rockefeller made me a convert for sure. This is a keeper and highly recommended. We’ll be back for sure 👍🏾
