It felt like a private dinner, which made the experience really nice. For the first half hour, it was just us and the owner, then another couple joined. We tried a few different dishes, and it felt like eating homemade food. Everything was pretty good, and it was a unique, different kind of dining experience Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Fool me twice. It’s my own fault for expecting them to incorporate face to face, politely delivered feedback the first time, so I’m going public. As vegetarian diners, it can be difficult to find interesting experiences for special occasions. Turns out The Kitchen chefs will adapt the offerings for any diet. But here’s the rub… When you make the non-refundable reservation on tock, it will tell you there’s a way to specify diet when checking out. So you proceed through the process and keep clicking next until you’ve charged your credit card and been confirmed, but there was nowhere to say you’re vegetarian. So you go to call the restaurant, and it turns out there’s no voicemail. And then you go to email them and have to dig deep into their online presence to find it. Then they don’t respond for three days, and when they do, they tell you you have not actually had the reservation experience you just had because “when you made the reservation there was a form to specify diet needs”. Exact same experience, both times, right down to being told about the form. So my fault for doing this twice, but their fault for gaslighting someone they just gouged for over $300 (for two). The food was decent, more novel than good (I suspect they aren’t really interested in vegetarian cuisine as the dishes are modified rather than constructed for it). While I appreciate a minimalist space, it does feel like being on a reality tv set. But the main complaint is the attitude. One time they offered a plant-based menu. I assumed this meant vegan. Well no. We, and several other diners that night, were condescendingly informed that “plant-based” means something different in the culinary world. I accept that. But maybe it’s worth rewriting your menu description to let the veggies and vegans who aren’t versed in industry jargon know you’re going to serve them meat and dairy. The concept is interesting. The attitude toward feedback is telling. And you will waste energy trying to communicate basic information. As I explained in my last email to them, “it should not be this hard to not eat meat”. Nor should I be made to feel stupid or like I’m a liar for giving FEEDBACK THEY SOLICITED. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2 Order type: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+

Catherine,I apologize for the delay in response. We don't have a voicemail system because we don't have someone on site to answer phone calls outside of our service hours so email is the best way to reach out. As for email, I've received your email at 8:11am, and responded at 12:29pm acknowledging your emergency as well as letting you know about our Chef's emergency due to flooding. By no means we would gaslight and/or serve you with such manner, especially for these kind of emergency, we would offer a full refund no questions asked, which we have. But I do appreciate your coaching and we will do a better job communicating with our guests going forward. As for dietary conditions, we will communicate with our ordering platform Tock and see what we can do to improve your experience going forward. Thank you! Ed
