Had the pleasure of dining at Kendall's Brasserie recently, and the entire experience felt polished and memorable from the start. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere immediately stood out with its elegant décor, warm lighting, and comfortable seating that created a welcoming but sophisticated feel. The restaurant manages to feel upscale without becoming overly formal or uncomfortable, which made the evening very enjoyable. Everything about the space felt thoughtfully designed, from the layout to the overall ambiance. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy conversation, and really take in the experience at your own pace. The environment alone sets a strong first impression before the food even arrives. Overall, it felt like a well-rounded dining experience that easily lived up to expectations.

Delicious! Had the duck and a side of Mac and cheese and a cocktail. Although they do change way too much for a lemonade or soda. Great place to stop before an opera. Friendly staff and cool bartenders

The food, while well-prepared, is very expensive, especially for the small portions that are served.

The bartender (Vlad) was excellent. The food was good. The Oaxacan Old Fashioneds were well-made. Prices are very high but expected given the location and the captive audience. Here's the problem: a 22% automatic gratuity was added to our check for two people at the bar. It wasn't on the menu. Nobody mentioned it. It simply appeared as a $34.98 line item after tax. Both copies of the receipt then suggested we add an additional 20–30% tip — on a bill that already included a mandatory gratuity. No disclosure. No asterisk. Just a quiet hope, apparently, that you wouldn't notice. I didn't notice until after I'd written in an extra $30. So I paid roughly $65 in gratuity on a $159 tab. Great service deserves a great tip. It doesn't deserve to be collected twice through misdirection. Disclose your automatic gratuity or drop it. This is a bad practice and it leaves guests feeling taken advantage of — which is exactly how I feel. The menu mentions the risks of eating shellfish, but no mention of the added gratuity. Don't get hoodwinked, or better yet... skip this place that feels like an upscale French IHOP.

I wanted to be mad because they did not have the brunch shown on their website, but the food was so good I can’t be mad. We shared appetizers: brussels sprouts, ahi, and mac & cheese. Everything was excellent, and the service was good! The only thing I can’t recommend is their Bloody Mary, which was less than average and overpriced for what it was.
