    Like all M restaurants we have tried so far, M Test Kitchen is amazing. I loved everything we tried, and we tried almost everything! Imaginative, creative food and stellar service. Even the bathrooms had understated elegance. I recommend this restaurant highly for a special occasion.

    We had the Little Gem Salad 10/10. Great smoky flavor. I would not have order if if was not reconmend, but so glad I had a chance to taste it. Spicy Pork Belly. 8/10. Very interesting take on pork belly. Pleasently surprised! Loaded Tots 9.5/10. I loved these tots. Very crispy and the sauce was gest too! Pearl Meatballs 9/10. Served at a great temp, juciy meatballs, great portion size. Nice savory flavor Kabocha Pumpkin Gnocchi 8/10 very delicious and very rich. I loved the sage flavor in this dish. X.O. Fried Rice 5/10. I wasn't a fan of this dish and wont order it again. I was really looking forward to this dish, because I love crab fride rice. I personally did not find any crab in my dish and I found the rice to be chewy and low on flavor. Grilled Denver Steak. 8/10 Great cook on the steak. Overall I would rate M Test Kitchen 9/10 Great food, friendly staff. I will come back!
