The lunch menu offers a great variety and is an excellent value. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with a Caesar salad instead of fries, and both were delicious. The sandwich had incredible flavor, and the salad was the perfect fresh side. My meal was a little over $13 before tax, tip, and iced tea, which is honestly less than many fast food lunches but tastes much fresher and better quality. For a quick, satisfying lunch, Kenwood is absolutely worth it. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area.

We got the crispy cauliflower to start which surprised me - I really liked the dill ranch that came with it. For our mains, I got the bourbon bacon blues burger which was so good with the blue cheese, the flavor was strong but in all the right ways. My friend enjoyed her buffalo chicken sandwich and was able to take half to go. She did say she wished the buffalo sauce was a bit thicker, it's a rather thin sauce. This is a great spot to come and watch games as they have lots of big screens. Just know that it gets rather busy when big games are on. On days that there isn't big games, tables come and go pretty quickly so there isnt usually much of a wait at least on the weekdays. There are options for indoor and outdoor seating available. Our server was good, however I will say as soon as we paid they stopped refilling our waters. We stayed and chatted for a bit but our waiter or any staff never checked on us again after. Also, the bathroom could have used some attention, the trashcan was overflowing with paper towels and the plunger was out in plain view. I think a basket would help hide the plunger and cleaning products just so that the customers aren't thinking about plungers while at the restaurant.

This is a contemporary Mexican restaurant and it's evident in the decor, menu and the vibe. The open dining area is massive with extra tall ceilings. The lighting was dimly lit for dinner which can make for a date night vibe if you want it. There's a full bar in the restaurant if you're looking to get your cocktail on. There was a lively group during my visit and they were having a good time. shrimp tacos - The 3 tacos were tasty and the generous in size and shrimp content. Served with a side of chips and salsa and I was good to go. guacamole - lots of chips but only a small cup of guacamole. I'd probably not order again, but all good. The staff was super friendly and kept my ice teas fresh. After the servers left for the day, the bartender would check on me even though I wasn't having any alcoholic beverages. Overall, this restaurant was a nice surprise stashed away at the Hotel Zessa. Cheers!

It takes longer for this dish to be ready compared to the rest, about 30 mins. It comes with two pieces of chicken over a bed of rice. Was a little disappointed it didn't come with any vegetables. The flavor of this dish was phenomenal. The chicken is tender and cooked to perfection, the sauce that comes with it is citrusy and herby. It tasted fresh and flavorful. Steep in terms of price, $30, especially since it doesn't come with any sides besides rice, but the flavor was well worth it. Really enjoyed this meal!

We ordered the Lox and Bagel with smoked salmon, capers, cream cheese, pickled red onions, fresh dill, and sun dried roasted tomatoes. The salmon was fresh and silky, and I loved the brightness from the pickled onions and dill. The roasted tomatoes added a nice depth of flavor. I also had the white crab white omelette with spinach and substituted the fruit for hash browns. The omelette was light and fluffy, and the crab added a subtle sweetness. The hash browns were crispy and satisfying. Cappuccinos were great, rich, smooth, and perfectly foamy. Just note they are nine dollars each, which feels a little steep, but they were well made. Service was pretty good overall, attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Overall, a solid four stars. Great atmosphere, quality brunch options, and a polished setting that feels perfect for a relaxed weekend catch up. I would come back for the vibes and the cappuccino.

Billard pricing is $15 per hour $20 min spend for food. Since we only came here for food and drinks, we just sat at a booth. I got the whiskey Diet Coke and hubby got the $5 can cocktail. We also got the potato skins to share ($18). Whiskey Diet Coke was not too strong, can cocktail was mango Tajin, interesting flavor combo. The potato skins were a bit greasy for my liking but would hit hard after too many drinks. Overall service is fast and vibe is chill. Would love to try billiard next time!

Mimi (the owner) shared with us that they're in the process of experimenting with some new drinks, and gave us one Jason Mamoa - a fruity colorful cocktail that was delightful!
