I wish I could give ten stars for our recent experience! Some of the best food and service I've had lately, all thanks to the Kenwood chef team.
My parents were in town for lunch and we wanted something we could walk to from around Lake of the Isles. I'd never been to Kenwood and it's been on my list for ages, so we walked there from around the lake. Once we arrived, I mistakenly realized they are just open for pickup/takeout for lunch on weekdays and that the brunch is only on the weekends.
The door was open, so we walked in and were greeted by the chef, I believe his name is Kieran. Instead of turning us away, he let us know they were open for takeout currently and offered to take our order right then and there and have us sit out on the patio. At the time we walked in, he was the only one there - and made time to make sure we had an excellent experience.
He even recommended a few dishes in particular for us to try - straight from the chef, people! We each got a cup of the mushroom soup and split the cucumber salad and the chicken meatballs. He took our order inside, and brought it right out to us when it was ready.
We set up our takeout goodies on the quaint sidewalk patio and enjoyed the quaint neighborhood just a block off of Isles.
And the food? Spectacular. The mushroom soup was rich and creamy, the meatballs were massive and saucy, and the cucumber salad wowed us - we aren't usually huge cucumber fans but it was a hit with us!
On our way out, we stopped back in to thank the chef his team for welcoming and serving us. Oh, and the inside is absolutely stunning!
I'd always been meaning to come here after hearing rave reviews, and now, they've made a loyal fan out of me, too. Service, location, and food all 5/5!
