I went there with a couple of friends and ordered a lot of food (see pictures) we loved everything! The service was outstanding, but the food spoke for itself. I can’t remember the name of most of the stuff, but I can tell u you can’t go wrong! On the desert side we had a carrot pie that was Devine’s and so was the rum cake. The portions are generous for fancy dining but the taste was just the rave. My husband and I will definitely come back!
Beautiful interior and delicious Afro-Caribbean cuisine on the wharf. We went for breakfast. Options were slightly limited. Food took a little while (15 minutes) for being simple breakfast items. I went with the Buffet which was delicious: lots of bacon, sausage, eggs, and baked goods. Best part was the sunny side up eggs in a skillet with spicy tomato sauce. The chef gave me an incredible in-house habanero sauce to spice it up a little more. Servers were attentive and friendly. Docked a star for trouble we had adding a seventh person to our reservation (we were initially told they couldn’t do it via phone, never heard back via email, and were given hard time when we showed up and asked for an extra chair. Strange considering how empty the restaurant was in the morning). Overall: good experience and good food in a beautiful venue.
Amazing dining experience here with some friends in town for the weekend. We loved the ambiance and great food. We circled this place for dinner because of Chef Kwame's James Beard rising star award. This place did not disappoint. We ordered the Kin burger, chicken wings, brussel sprouts, and the soft shell crab. Wow everything was delicious and we wanted more. The crab had to be the highlight. We literally ate everything in the bowl. The craft cocktails were also delicious. Food here can be a bit heavy, but satisfying at the same time. My party and I enjoyed everything about our meal. We'll definitely be back to try their brunch and other dinner menu items
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our lunch at Kith and Kin! We had the Brussels sprouts, burger, and meat pies. The brussels were absolutely delightful, very spicy and crispy with a creamy sauce on the side. The burger was very good, as were the meat pies. The service was great. The only reason I’m taking off one star is because it is a little pricey for what you get. Also the atmosphere is fine, but nothing special.
The atmosphere was nice. Relaxed but still upscale. Service was excellent. Our waitress, Lulu, was attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. We tried the Brussels which were spicy but flavorful to me. And Mom Dukes Shrimp with buttered rice. This dish had too much butter for my liking and the gravy that’s paired with the dish was too salty and had too much butter or grease as well. Lastly, we had the bread pudding for dessert. It wasn’t too sweet, that was the best part.
We had an amazing culinary experience here! Due to all seating being reserved, we had to sit at the Hennesy Bar near the hotel lobby, but it was quaint and intimate.
Demetrius was our server and mixologist, and he was so attentive, knowledgeable, and personable! The food was beyond amazing!!! We will definitely be back!
After reading all the reviews- we just HAD to try this restaurant. The dishes were creative and we had nice service. The brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly. I wasn't too impressed with my shrimp- tasted like shrimp versus a dish with shrimp in it. My husband had the roasted jerk chicken dish. We both shared the rum cake- for those who like rum, this is the dessert for you. My absolute favorite part, which ironically was the complimentary part, was the fresh baked sweet bread. Good place to try on the warf, I'm glad we went, but I'm not in a hurry to return.
Unfortunately I missed the lunch and was too early for dinner BUT I had a chance to sit in the lounge and have cocktails. I was very impressed with both drinks starting with a glass of Spanish sparkling wine followed by the all popular Kingstontown punch--pretty and good. The food items were amazing small plates of heaven!! The grilled octopus with red lentils have a nice spicy kick and the mushroom patties are like little pockets of goodness. I hope to visit again starting at the lounge but staying for dinner too. 🤞🏿
Kith and Kin was absolutely phenomenal in every aspect you can have in a dinning experience. The food was incredible very memorable. Our waitress Lulu was the sweetest, she was so helpful with the menu and suggestions. The ambiance at kith and kin is great. They have ceiling to floor windows which can fully open to the point where you are basically sitting outside, these windows stretch the length of the restaurant, along with the skylight. The natural light makes you feel happier(scientifically proven) plus dark restaurants are just not as inviting. I love the classy feel you get when going into this restaurant the black and gold theme running through the restaurant looks very nice. In totality this has been one of my best dinning experiences in DC.
Very nice place and great atmosphere. Liked the food but I have had better from various mom and pop spots around the DMV for far less. If you are looking for a nice night out then it is worth it. We ate the Mushroom patties, goat roti, oxtail, and plantains. Would recommend them all.
