First time at Kindling and was really impressed by the design/atmosphere. We ordered salads, which were a bit pricy for not containing any protein. The server was okay, but didn't offer any recommendations.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Great recommendations from our server. Every course was delicious AND the tuna tartare app and Frango mint dessert were standouts. This place has now become my new downtown favorite.

We sat at the hearth which seems to be a bit of a secret. We were able to watch them cook over the open flame while Chef Mike talked to us about the technique and offered some great recommendations. He even surprised us with a few tastes. I had the ribeye, my wife, the grilled octopus, and my son, the lamb chops. All grilled to perfection. We will be back and we will be sitting at the hearth.

Thank you for this fantastic review! The hearth truly is a special spot, and I’m so glad you got to enjoy the experience and Chef Mike’s insights—it’s all about making those moments memorable. Thrilled to hear the ribeye, octopus, and lamb chops hit the mark for your family. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the hearth for another round of great food and even better vibes! – Chef Sawyer

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I sincerely apologize for the oversight. Your concerns are completely valid, and I understand how frustrating and unprofessional that experience must have felt—especially when hosting someone important like your boss. I’ll personally ensure that the reservation for December 16 is properly documented under Ryan Alwood to avoid any issues. We deeply value your business and trust, and I’ll make sure our team gets it right moving forward. Thank you for giving us another chance to get it right. – Chef Sawyer

Nothing special about this place. Had the lobster bisque and pork chop cooked medium . The chop was a duo cut that was not even. This resulted in a well well done 1/2 and a well done half. Very dry and inedible. Service was great. A bit too expensive for the meal quality. This place is average
Kindling | Downtown Cookout & CocktailsHa risposto 6 giorni fa
Thank you for your honest feedback Bryon. I’m really sorry to hear the pork chop didn’t meet expectations—that’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests, and I’ll make sure to address that with my kitchen team. I appreciate you mentioning the great service, though—it’s something we’re proud of. We aim to provide great value, and I’m sorry we missed the mark for you this time. I hope you’ll consider giving us another shot. – Chef Sawyer

Had the delicious lobster bisque as an appetizer with the sweet chili Brussel sprouts. For dinner I had the slightly sandy and fishy 3 scallops with 3 carrots and sautéed onions. My wife had the salmon which was very tasty with Japanese sweet potato also very good. For the prices, I expected more. Drinks were good but also a bit pricey for the sizes provided. Good decorative ambience. Service was very good.

Thank you for sharing your feedback Ted. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the lobster bisque, Brussels sprouts, and your wife’s salmon. I’m sorry to hear the scallops didn’t meet your expectations, and I’ll be sure to look into that. We aim for every dish to be perfect, and your comments help us improve. I also appreciate your thoughts on pricing and drinks—we’re always trying to find the right balance. Thank you for the positive words about the service and ambiance, and I hope we have the chance to welcome you back soon! – Chef Sawyer
