a.kitchen + bar

Enjoyed brunch at a.kitchen recently. Gave the Cornmeal Pancakes a try while my girlfriend tried the Bavette Steak Frites. We both really enjoyed our dishes but the pancakes were a highlight. I typically don’t even like lemon-flavored dishes but these made me a believer. The side of bacon I ordered was definitely too salty for my liking on its own. It probably would have tasted better with eggs but I would have never finished all that food considering how heavy the pancakes were. I also had a spin on a peach bellini which tasted delicious. Will definitely be back to try out dinner soon!

Great food and presentation, however definitely over priced (yes, COVID prices are a real thing). To speak specifically to the food — Gougeres - great filling flavor plus nice and crunchy Octopus ‘Lyonnaise’ - good flavors but the texture was a little chewy Sausage and green - fine? The dish wasn’t overly exciting or interesting Beef tartare - fine, nothing special Pork chop - massive bone-in pork chop, good amount of vegetables, overall solid dish Grilled fish - in an amazing sauce, but very minimal other vegetables/ pieces to the dish Whole fish for two - great flavor, but it’s not deboned so tons of bones to pick through (aka don’t bother)

We had brunch here for New Years Eve and it was wonderful. The overall atmosphere was casual yet comfortable. We started with the grilled salad which was so flavorful. The chef was able to make a simple butter pasta for our daughter who absolutely loved it! I had the mushroom bolognese with spaghetti, which was perfectly aldente. The fish of the day was flavorful. Make sure to make a reservation because it’s so worth it
