Actually a 5 star across the b board restaurant. I came seeking a martini & oysters, airo fresca. I found my way to the patio and enjoyed a meal that was missing from my life in a big way. If the food was amiss, I wouldn't even bother with this review it the food wasn't top notch, given the price. But holy wow. The service here catered to my desires and I'm so impressed. I almost don't want to tell you, keep this secret. But everyone deserves to know this spot and the service workers and kitchen are due praise. So do enjoy! It's over the rainbow 🌈

My boyfriend and I love trying new restaurants and we’ve tried quite a few of the most popular restaurants in Cincinnati. This was by far our favorite. The dishes were so unique and each one was perfect. The oysters were amazing. We had an awesome server and will definitely be back! You can tell how much thought and detail goes into the restaurant, highly recommend!

Sam was a kind and helpful server! Hands down the best oysters I’ve ever had! I’m not a huge fish person but the Branzino was AMAZING! Will definitely be back!

Very nice upper scale restaurant, very quick, no wait for seating and friendly service. The open view of the kitchen is great seeing the food being cooked. Good prices and bar makes drinks quick. All food was to order and very well presented.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely Incredible! Top three restaurants in the entire greater Cincinnati area. I’ve been here multiple times and it’s perfectly consistent every time. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted. The service? Top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making you feel right at home. I’ve been here multiple times, and it never disappoints. This place is a true gem—I can’t recommend it enough!

I want to truly thank my server Gideon and all of the Court Street Kitchen staff for going out of your way and making my birthday a very special day my very first visit here the food and service was absolutely amazing as I had finished my meal and was getting prepared to leave they came walking out the door with a beautiful slice of carrot cake and a big flame lit I started crying my eyes out a experience I was not expecting thank you from the bottom of my heart

We had reservations for 6:00pm on a Sunday evening. It was the first time dining here for all four of us. The place is very cozy with blue hues and very comfortable booths and well-appointed restrooms. The servers were very friendly and attentive. I think we met every server, plus a manager maybe? during our dinner. 5 stars on service for sure. Our friends started with a delicious white wine and I had a very nicely poured vodka and soda. We all ordered different dishes so we could share everything. We started with the Amarillo Ceviche (it was the last day on the menu), and the Ahi Tuna Tataki. The Ceviche was out-of-this-world good and took you directly to the Caribbean (can't wait till that comes back next summer!). The tuna was so fresh in the Tataki but the amount of red onion overpowered the fish. We would have preferred a much lighter preparation. The burger was good, but oversalted. All four of us agreed on that, and that the fries were excellent. The shrimp scampi was comfort in a bowl. The lemon chicken was cooked perfectly but the dish was salty as well. I ordered it with haricot verts instead of broccolini and got a generous portion of beans. It was one of the better chicken dishes I have ordered out. The stand-out of the night was the branzino. It was seasoned perfectly and cooked beautifully. We ordered the lemon olive oil cake and tiramisu for dessert. Both were fantastic. The presentations were photo worthy as well. We will be back.

This was a very lovely experience! As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with friendly host staff. They are on top of things and got us seated quickly. Our server was Adam- he was spectacular! Informative, BAR (bright, alert, and responsive), and very attentive of not just our needs, but of everyone else in his section. It is clear that he is very experienced, and I also got the impression that he enjoys his job. The food was wonderful! I had an Old Fashioned and I was impressed with how flavorful and SMOOTH it was. The ice cube with the restaurant's logo etched into it was a delightful touch too. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the asparagus was phenomenal. The decoration was upscale, but approachable, in energy. Seating felt comfortable and even with the restaurant being busy, it never felt cramped. The only drawback was that it was pretty dark inside- though this is coming from someone that tends to prefer lots of natural light. I'll have to come back when the weather is nicer and I can sit outside!

I was looking for a good place for oysters for my lady and I to celebrate our nine year anniversary when I found this spot here on Yelp. Glad I found it because it was absolutely amazing! I'd give this place SIX stars if I could because the experience was so good. The food was epic, the service was extraordinary, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. I'd describe the cuisine as a mixture of French, Italian, and Mediterranean and done VERY well. I made reservations for a Saturday evening, and I'd recommend making reservations, because they got busy FAST. Their menu isn't overly huge but features lots of exquisite options. Their libations menu is very nice especially for wine lovers. Our server, Kelly, was the BEST. She took the time to go over the menu with us and made recommendations based on what she enjoys most. Here's what we got: Drinks: -231 Field Recordings Chenin Blanc Dinner: -Oysters of the day (6) east coast -Canada, west coast Washington state -Grilled oysters -Ahi tuna tataki -AGLIO E OLIO-Tagliolini, Garlic Olive Oil, Crushed Red Pepper -Branzino- grilled white fish with roasted potatoes, broccolini, heirloom carrot, finished w/ tomato and olive tapenade Dessert: -Olive oil Cake The oysters came out first, expertly shucked, and I was surprised how well the west coast oysters went with the cocktail sauce topped with fresh horseradish. Then the grilled oysters, ahi tuna tataki, and aglio e olio came out. The grilled oysters were outstanding! The aglio e olio seems like such a simple dish but tasted phenomenal. The ahi tuna tataki was prepared so well that it practically melted in your mouth. Last, was the grilled branzino. It was grilled to perfection and we couldn't stop raving about it. So moist and flaky! We originally didn't have room for dessert, but Kelly brought out a slice of olive oil cake in celebration of our anniversary, along with a couple glasses of red wine (a French Cabernet for my lady, a Cotes Du Rhone for me). We thanked Kelly numerous, and we're naturally huggers, so we both gave her a hug for her awesome service and just being a wonderful person. They truly take good care of you here and it shows. Plus you truly get what you pay for, not just the quality of the food, but in the overall experience. I would definitely recommend this place for a good celebratory splurge meal.

Despite a terrific entree, our experience at Court Street Kitchen was just too uneven at its price points to get this rating above three stars. Those price points are right up there with some of the most renowned restaurants in town, but I don't think the food, service, and decor warranted it. First off, we weren't big fans of the ambience of CSK: It's a sharp-looking and spotless restaurant, but a bit antiseptic perhaps, and the music is tedious and repetitive EDM. I've never even been to Vegas, but I imagine that this is what a less-than-stellar Vegas hotel restaurant might be like. Biggest disaster of the evening was the very first course, the Amarillo Ceviche, which consisted of an overly sweet and citrusy and overly chilled broth with mushy ahi tuna. Not at all good, and a pittance of food for $34. (In just the last few months, I've had ceviche tostadas in Mexican restaurants that were markedly better, more generous with the seafood (admittedly, not ahi tuna), and under $10.) Arancini were a nicer app, with big flavor, but ultimately pretty simple. (These two items were actually brought out together, and they shouldn't have been.) Things started to improve somewhat with the arugula salad, which, while nothing fancy, was at least fresh and bright and properly dressed. The entree, though, was a pretty much a home run, or at least a triple. We found out that the grill is where Court Street Grill crushes it. The kitchen absolute nailed the cooking of the branzino; it had the crispy skin you want, and was accompanied by delicious veggies. Delicious. We also had the grilled asparagus as a side, and those were just about perfect. The kitchen split the entree into two generous portions and plated both very nicely; not cheap ($48), but fair for a dish of this size and quality. We both agreed that the cocktails were not the best. I had an Old Fashioned that was just two sweet and lacked complexity. And our server was very pleasant all evening, but not particularly polished. Our dinner peaked at the right point, but overall our experience here was a bit rocky.

I give this place more than a five star rating. My Mr. was looking for a place that specializes in oysters for our 9 year anniversary. He stumbled on Court Street and read the reviews. He was sold and wanted to take me here. Originally he wanted to take me to Atwood but they were booked. I'm so glad we came here instead. We had reservations for Saturday night. It was super busy. Reservations are highly recommended. Kelly was our server and hands down one of the best. She was very attentive and down to earth. She took the time to go over the whole menu and answered all our questions . I love the vibe, atmosphere and decor! Very welcoming and beautiful inside. They do have outdoor seating as well. Their menu is mixed American-Italian-Mediterranean Fusion. It's the best way I can describe. Mainly seafood but they do have vegetarian, Chicken and meat options. Also their dishes are tapas style. Which is shareable. Drink menu also paired well with the meals. Full bar. Here's what we ordered: Drinks: -231 Field Recordings Chenin Blanc Dinner: -Oysters of the day (6) east coast -Canada, west coast Washington state -Grilled oysters -Ahi tuna tataki -AGLIO E OLIO-Tagliolini, Garlic Olive Oil, Crushed Red Pepper -Branzino- grilled white fish with roasted potatoes, broccolini, heirloom carrot, finished w/ tomato and olive tapenade Dessert: -Olive oil Cake All the meals came out in sync. I especially loved the oysters! We ordered the east and west coast. Very fresh and shucked to perfection. All the others followed by that was amazing! You definitely get what you pay for. Our branzino (mild fish) was delicious! You can go to place and always get salmon, but this you have to try because it's unique. Last was our dessert! Unexpected and I was surprised! That was so nice of them to treat us to olive oil cake. Was so good! Thank you Court street Kitchen for taking care of us. Everything was incredible! I can't wait to tell my friends and definitely coming back to try the other items on the menu.

First time dining here, and we enjoyed it. Adam provided great service! He explained things clearly and paced the meal perfectly. We were also there during happy hour and had reduced prices on our wine. My hubby enjoyed the arancini app, while I went with the oysters. Yum! Our mains were the aragosta pasta and branzino. The pasta sauce was the star, and the seafood was cooked nicely. I liked the branzino, but I could have gone without the olive garnish. Overall it made the dish salty. I love a crispy skin on my fish. A part was crispy, though I think a large part of the skin lost its crispiness due to the sauce. The highlight of the meal was our service!

Tried Court Street Kitchen for brunch. The cocktails were 1/2 half off for women for an hour or so which was nice. I opted for the Country Side Breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, roasted tomatoes, bacon, and grilled sourdough bread, plus I added poached lobster. Gave my bacon to hubby. It was very filling and delicious! For dessert, we ordered the Olive Oil Cake, as I'd never had it before. It, too, was filling and tasty. It was a little chilly for outside, but a little bit louder than I prefer on the inside. May try it for dinner sometime as what they offer sounded very good.

We arrived after the women's soccer match: four adults and two very small children. We were hot and sweaty and this was a pretty nice place for people to come so casual. We were asked if we had reservations (no). We were told that they didn't have a table for six available (fine, we can go elsewhere). Wait. We will make this work. And they did. We were seated in the bar area (a fun treat for people from Indiana with small kids-no kids in the bar). This was perfect since we were seated by a family with four kids. The story here, while this might not seem to be the place for families (and there is no kids menu or crayons) they made sure we were comfortable and kept us out of the way of other guests, should a crisis arise. Now, to the best paw. The food was perfectly prepared. We enjoyed fish, beef, and chicken all with a variety of accompaniments. Each was unique in flavor and was deliciously seasoned. The steak was cooked perfectly. We shared a piece of birthday cake (thank you!). It was festively presented and everyone was given forks. The owner/manager stepped in to care for our table. He made sure everything was well presented and we had everything we needed. There is valet parking but location is walkable. They have outdoor seating (which would have been perfect if it weren't so hot), but by 7 PM it would have been comfortable, even in this heat wave). While the music seemed loud initially, it was turned down as the ambient sound and patrons came in. Court Street Kitchen delivers great food in a comfortable, pleasant, and beautiful space. The service and customer attention is excellent. There is thought and attention to details and front operations. They are open every day and have great hours. A hard yes! Thank you!

My husband and I went here for an early dinner on a Sunday and this place was incredible! For apps we got the arancini and the chili garlic prawns. Both were delicious and served quickly. We ordered the branzino and roasted lemon chicken and shared the green beans. Everything was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. For dessert we got the chocolate gelato and tiramisu. Those were amazing as well. The restaurant itself is really pretty and gives the vibes of being in Miami. The DJ was a nice touch with good music without being too loud to enjoy a conversation. Our waitress, Taylor, was attentive and did a very good job. She made sure our drinks were refilled and was very pleasant. We will absolutely return in the future!

We had outstanding service again. This time we ordered the Arancini and Scallops. We feel this Arancini is the best in the city! They were huge and perfectly fried with a lot of gooey cheese inside and a lovely topping of basil. The acidic tomato sauce is the perfect compliment to the rich arancini. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the carrot and corn puree was divine. The house martini was very good. I would order it again.

CSK has delicious food. I ordered the branzino. I could tell it was made with love. It's also just a beautiful space. I even peeped the bar in the back which I can't wait to check out next time. My colleague was also blown away by his meal.

Visited Court Street for a friend's birthday and was pleasantly surprised this placed wasn't packed! It's right in the heart of court street with metered parking in front of the restaurant. The decor is stunning and the seating is very comfortable. I arrived early to check out the happy hour menu and enjoyed a delicious espresso martini and a mule. For dinner I tried the ABC salad with salmon which was great, but I would opt for chicken since the dressing is a special ranch and will likely pair better with chicken. My friends all loved their meals as well. They tried the lemon chicken, salmon, and steak dishes. With it being my girlfriend's birthday they brought her the olive oil cake with a sparkling candle. Such a nice touch. The menu is a little pricey but it's fairly consistent with other restaurants downtown. We will be back!

Had an incredible brunch experience here. They had a DJ playing some nice tunes and the atmosphere inside was lively. I ordered the sort of classic "bacon, eggs, and toast" and they nailed it. My wife ordered the chicken caesar salad and tomato bisque and they were both fantastic. Definitely want to come back to try dinner here.

I was in town on business and needed a good restaurant for our team...Court Street did not disappoint! We sat at a booth/table in the back of the restaurant and ordered appetizers, main courses, and cocktails. We started with the bread service and blistered shishitos, which were great! My colleague had the burger and said it was exceptional (and that's saying something about a burger). My other colleague had the Chicken Cassoulet, which he said he could eat daily. I had the Chili Garlic Prawns, which were in an actual sauce but very good. We finished with Tirimisu and donuts, which were both very good. I highly recommend this spot.

Italian influenced food in a comfortable room. Located in the downtown area, the Court Street Kitchen offers generous portions and a variety of plates. The Arancini was nicely peppered. The Aragosta was flavorful. The service was attentive.

Quite a convenient place to eat if you're visiting the Kroger HQ. This venue is located directly across the street. I was there for lunch with a colleague and 2 customers. Gideon was our server and did a great job. We were asked if we wanted a booth or a table which I was indifferent and ended up at a booth. They do have outdoor seating, but it was too windy and cool. I imagine in the summer it will be a really great place to be. Their menu is quite ecclectic with some very interesting options. It is quite pricey, though. Figure at least $20-$25 per person for lunch. They started us off with some delicious fresh baked sourdough bread served with a mini-scoop of butter as well as olive oil and spices. For lunch I had the Mushroom Ragu. Everything was very savory and delicious. The mushroom is in a minced form over the pasta. Topped with a few shavings of fresh parmesan. My customer ordered the same, but added chicken as the protein for an additional $9. My colleague ordered the Tomato Basil Bisque for $8.00 which she claimed was the best she'd ever had. They don't have a parking lot so most parking is metered on the street or at a lot.

Made it to Court Street Kitchen downtown last night and glad I did! One of the few restaurants in the city open on a Monday night and they delivered across the board--excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The grilled oysters are my new favorite!

This restaurant was in a great location, and very nice inside. I ordered The Burger, and my friend ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The burger was good, but the price tag of $22 was a bit much. I would prefer ShakeShack or Culver's if I am going for a smash burger for a much lower price. We sat at the bar and received fantastic service. I can't wait ti come back and try a different dish.

Finally made it back for food. Went for NYE dinner, hubby & I both agreed this was our best NYE dinner over the last 5 years of eating at downtown establishments. Patrick was a great server and answered so many of my questions about the menu. He was very kind the entire evening. Favorite item of the night was the olive oil cake, followed by the burger, the grilled oysters and then the scampi. We were both surprised with the value of the scampi, very filling with the appropriate amount of meat. The chili prawns were too salty, I would not order that again. The grilled oysters were delicious but weren't quite as fresh as places like Atwood. They were very large though. I will be back for lunch, brunch and the occasional drink. This place has some serious potential to really be around for a very long time.

Best restaurant I've been to in awhile. Love the vibe (dance music- but not too intrusive), the service was great, and the FOOD!!! The mushroom ragu was what sweet dreams were made of. Everything we had was top notice (and we tried a lot)- though wouldn't do the Pepe risotto again (save those calories for the ratatouille or ragu!). Wow! Def a favorite in Cincy!

Everything that we tried was perfect! You have to try the risotto balls. They are so delicious. We got the bread service as well, and used the bread to dip in the marinara from the risotto balls. The olive oil cake was to die for! The service and atmosphere were impeccable. I got a tiny bit of marinara on my shirt and the waiter noticed that I was using my napkin to blot out the stain. So he offered to bring me club soda, which I thought was so amazing. Great experience for sure!

The food and drinks were some of the best I've had. I cannot wait to go back!

This is a spot from my want to try list. My experience was mixed bag. We sat at the bar, service was excellent. I had margarita and companion had a mojito. Both drinks were ok. Appetizer bread and oysters. The oysters were delicious. Main dishes, I had the mushroom ragu dish, companion had the salmon and couscous. The sauce on the salmon dish was drinkable. The mushroom dish was too oily and non-creamy. It was rich in a way that I did not like. Took it home and when heated, there was enough oil to pour off. I did order a final drink, expresso martini. It was delicious. I would come back and just try another main. The inside to include the bathrooms on point!

We made a reservation for Sunday brunch / lunch. We were seated immediately (outside as requested) and the waiter came over shortly thereafter. We tried the specialty cocktails, yogurt parfait, ahi tuna ceviche, and burger. All the food was outstanding! Great music was playing while the football game was also in the tv.

I came back for another great meal. This time I had my brother, two sisters and brotherinlaw. They all raved about thee food . They loved the pepi risotto and the arancini among all the other dishes. You won't find food like this anywher else in the city. The service was impeecable. The vibe of the restauranrt is fun and enjoyment. After dinner or before you can go to the back room bar with plenty of seats, TV and some music. Although there is meterewd parking right in front , there are garages just across the street. I highly recommend having lunch or dinner at Coourt street kitch which I would rate one of the top resaurants in cincinnat. (Update) i. I had dinner after a recommendation to try out Court Street Kitchen. Wow, what a treat. Started with the Argula Salad. It really kicked off my taste buds. My main course was Roasted Lemon Chicken. This had incredible flavors that mixed perfectly, to give a beautiful combination of tastes that were delicious. Never tasted anything like it at any restaurant in Cincinnati. My desert was the olive oil cake, light and flavorful. I've never been so captivated by the beautiful combination of flavors in all three dishes. I used to work downtown. And this is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. And I'm pretty picky. The service was great. And both the manager and owner stopped by our table to make sure everything was satisfactory and it was. Actually extraordinary. They are located on the south east corner of Court and Vine. On street parking right in front and parking garage just across the street. This is an intimate, comfortable atmosphere where conversation is easy. Court Street Kitchen is one of the very best restaurants in Cincinnati. I highly recommend it.--

The flatbread is not a flatbread - it is a pizza. The dough was not flat, it was circular like a pizza and cut in triangles like a pizza - just call it a pizza. Coffee isn't very good - way too bitter or dark. I used the whole side of cream too. I normally drink just medium roast coffee and cream at home and it just wasn't for me. The hot vanilla latte was fine, a little too much syrup but I know they aren't baristas. It was a little loud but not too too loud. I'd recommend reserving a booth as the chairs at the tables aren't the most comfortable. the tables are pretty crammed with silverware, plates, napkins, and an overly big menu Good French toast, pancakes, club sandwich. The fries were great, mimosas were great.

What a wonderful experience my wife and I had this evening, beginning with cocktails at the bar (including a custom-made, off-menu raspberry/lemon martini for her that she nearly chugged). We started with the phenomenal arancini in a delectable marinara, one of the most memorable dishes I've had in years. Our main courses (chicken cassoulet for her, branzino for me) were just as good, and generously proportioned. The service throughout was friendly, impeccably timed, and note-perfect. It was our first visit but it will definitely not be our last!

Delicious!!! Came here unplanned after visiting the distillery down the street, and the menu caught our eye - a large variety of shareable plates, something for everyone. We shared the caccio e pepe risotto, arancini, and hummus plate. YUM. Both risotto dishes were creamy, and the arancini sauce was tasty. Hummus plate was a great size. We sat outside, which was full of cute patio furniture and a lovely huge umbrella. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Would absolutely come back again!

We ate here before the ballet at Music Hall. The service was impeccable. Wine selection is extensive, we went with the Italian Pinot Grigio, my daughter had the CCC mocktail. We also enjoyed the filet & asparagus - which was fresh, crisp and expertly cooked. The risotto was creamy and filling. We will be back, even if the food hadn't been as good as it was, the service alone was worth coming back for!

After COVID, elegant lunch experiences all but disappeared from almost every city in the USA. Here to report that Court Street Kitchen is absolutely the place to take your clients and colleagues for lunch. Order any of the salads with salmon added. This salmon is so perfectly prepared that it killed my severely advanced case of Bored With Salmon Syndrome. The team is highly professional. This is an exceptional experience.

Everything about court Street is top-notch. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing and the service has never let us down. If you wanna place that feels upscale, but also makes you feel like you're at home, Court Street kitchen is for you. We started with the baked clams and the flavors of the Parmesan, the citrus, and the butter are amazing with the perfectly cooked clams. Our favorite pasta was the Aragosta and we shared the Porterhouse amongst the four of us. We were so pleased with our dinner and look forward to going back!

Stellar find late one evening. No expectations my first visit since we stumbled in after sushi. Everything we ate was delicious... seafood pasta, fries, grilled oysters, and donuts.

What a fantastic location, seating was on view of the events happening on the street, right in the heart of Court Street, great drinks and the service was amazing. Celebrated a birthday and they allowed us to bring in a cake and even went as far as adding a sparkler when they brought it out. The dinner was fantastic, 5/6 had filets, excellent cut of meat and was cooked to perfection. Sides were tasty. The appetizer bread was just ok but not bad. Overall a fantastic experience, I'll be back.

Great ambiance, food and service! I decided to try this restaurant because I was looking for a restaurant Downtown that I hadn't visited yet. Upon arriving I was seated immediately and served right away. I started with the Expresso Martini, followed by Grilled Oysters and Brussel Sprouts for Starters. I then decided on the Roasted Ratatouille Pasta for my Entree. My friend had the Branzino and she loved it! We then split dessert and chose the Olive Oil Cake and Donut Holes. The Cake was delicious, but we weren't too pleased with the Donut Holes. The Manager came and talked to us personally about how to improve the Donut Holes, prepared us some more and when we still didn't like them, he gave us Tiramasu dessert to go on the house - which tasted awesome! This Dining experience was great and I will definitely return!

The food was underwhelming, but the decor is beautifully decorated. This is a date night space / girls night it or even family night. Service was great however the food was more of the same for Cincy. It was just okay , nothing wowed me. I'll return but it's not anything I have to run to. I ordered a few things per usual when trying new food. My favorite was the risotto, but you should go for it.

This restaurant has been on a radar for a while and finally tried this past Sunday. My husband had oysters, I had the ABC salad and we shared the mashed potatoes. Highly recommend all. Implies the oil cake is worth it to share. Will be back.

Stopped in for lunch and to get out of the freezing temperatures outside. A great little find. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious. We had the lunch menu so I can't speak for dinner, but i'm sure it will be awesome too.

My boyfriend and I went to Court Street for our Valentines Day celebration. We started with the Brussel Sprouts, which were flash fried and yummy, just needed some salt, but overall they were very good. My boyfriend got the Aragosta pasta and he loved it! I got the Ratatouille pasta, it was fine but I wouldn't get it again. Afterwords someone at the restaurant told me that it's his least favorite dish and would have recommended just about anything else. We will definitely be back, as a lot of food looked delicious and I want to try other things! We absolutely loved the ambiance! However, it was our Valentine's Day celebration and we wanted to take our time and enjoy the night, but we felt like the waiter was trying to turn tables as quick as humanly possible. We ordered wine and appetizers and then following the 10 minute span after we ordered that stuff, he came back FOUR times in 10 minutes, asking us to order dinner so that he could "get the menus out of the way." Not sure why he was so worried about getting the menus from us.... Maybe they were short menus and needed them for new tables? lol. He also spoke in a whisper and was extremely hard to hear. All in all, we just felt incredibly rushed, which sucks because everything else was pretty good.

Went here for the one year anniversary. It was our first time. We were blown away with the food and service! Kevin at the bar gave us the utmost attention. We tried multiple items... scallops,pasta, bronzini and beet salad were the tops of our list. The ambiance is casual yet elegant! The open kitchen is easy to view preparing of foods. A nice addition is the Speakeasy bar... a dimly lit space complete with its own bar, couches and Dj later in the evening. Oowner and GM were easily assessible and constantly aware of goings ons! This is a must try!!!

Since I've grown up in this area the transformation on Court Street has been amazing! I found this place on IG...Menu is simple with different dietary options! We got the brussels sprouts, which were good, the flat bread is like a medium pizza...I wasn't expecting that...but it was good! The fries were bomb! My husband loved his salmon dish! They have a full bar and Sex on the Beach is not on the menu but they made it for me! The decor is very cute, place is not very small, but not very big. Reservations recommended. Our waitress was very helpful and nice. Parking is not great but it never was on that street! They do have valet parking as an option.

I've been anxiously awaiting getting to try Court Street Kitchen and now I'm anxiously awaiting going back. There are so many items on the menu I want to try even as a vegetarian. This time I went with the ratatouille which was delicious. My friend had the Salmon which was prepared perfectly. The service was very attentive and offered recommendations when asked. Overall Court Street Kitchen is a great addition to the area.

What a great dinner. We had the lobster and shrimp pasta - fantastic! We also had appetizers (risotto) and dessert (couldn't decide so we ate tiramisu and the olive oil lemon cake). The weather was beautiful so we sat by the window (highly recommend). The window was open and the outside air ambiance was beautiful!
