There are actually three restaurants connected to each other. The Kitchen: higher price point restaurant with a great wine selection and seasonal menu. The Kitchen Next-door: smaller restaurant with a smaller menu, good beer selection and has a warm community atmosphere. Even if you aren't vegetarian, I recommend the beet burger. Finally the Kitchen Upstairs: amazing and large drink selection with a host of delicious appetizers.
