Kitchen + Kocktails By Kevin Kelley - Girl dinner - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

I had an incredible experience at Kitchen + Kocktails. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, but what truly made the night unforgettable was our waiter, Ricky. He outdid himself. His attention to detail, warm personality, and spot‑on recommendations made this one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I ordered the fried chicken with three sides -- mac n cheese, collard greens, and yams -- and every single bite was flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Ricky checked on us consistently without ever feeling intrusive, and he made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We were celebrating a birthday, and Ricky went above and beyond to make it memorable. His energy and care elevated the entire night. If you visit, ask for Ricky. He's truly amazing. read more

Last evening we decided to try out the recently opened Kitchen & Kocktail by Kevin Kelley in Wynwood, which is a classy sports bar with lots of TVs and also a restaurant. You can tell they invested a lot of money in the remodeling, furniture, and updating that has made it a very popular spot. They have R & B music and HipHop. They usually have a DJ. This place used to be the Bottled Blonde, which has closed. The attire is classy casual and there were all age groups enjoying themselves. It's also a good date night place. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. As you enter, you are greeted by the friendly doorman to get your wristband . Then you enter a fabulous, brightly-lit tall mirrored cubicle with flashing lights. What fun! It is very bright in there for a bar though. We like more of a low light mood. We had delicious drinks, Frozen Mango Tequila and a Patron Frozen Strawberry shot. We shared Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes. There was more mashed potatoes than chicken so we ordered more chicken.They make really good food there! When you go inside there, the food cooking smells so good. The service was attentive and friendly, no complaints. Street parking because it's Wynwood but they may have a valet. We took an Uber so we didn't really look into that. We had a fun time and are glad we went there. read more

I've been wanting to try this place! Glad I finally did. We didn't get much but overall, everything was a bit on the salty side. I did however enjoy the fried chicken.

Love this place not only for the food but the service was amazing. The vibes were good. Music was great and wasn't too loud! Our waiter Ricky was a time.

We walked into the establishment to find the hostess with her back turned to us and on her cell phone. We just walked past her as we were heading to the bar and she waved her hand for us to go ahead in. No greeting. We head to the bar and the bartenders are very friendly, but it took about 10 minutes for them to let us know that we needed to use the QR code for menus. So we sat there waiting, thinking we're getting menus... probably should've said that from jump. The bar area where we sat was dirty and needed to be cleaned. The waitress jumped on it, but missed many spots so it had to be cleaned twice. There was no place for me to put my purse underneath the bar and there are no purse racks. We perused the menu and the prices were just astronomical.... After sitting there for 10 minutes without menus and five minutes perusing a ridiculous price list, we walked out. The decor was beautiful, but the service could have been better. If I had walked into a great greeting and a clean bar... We probably would've stayed and paid the ridiculous prices. But because it started off negatively, it was easy just to walk out and go somewhere else. Customer service matters. read more

Tiana and Gabby were amazing servers. So funny thing, I came here twice in one day (not on purpose)--once for happy hour and once for a late dinner. I had Tiana for happy hour and Gabby for dinner. The vibe is so lively here. There's great music, lots of laughter and conversation, and beautiful decor. I had the salmon bites and the fried pickles. Both were great even without the sauce. And I learned there's locations in other states so I'm excited to check those out! read more

I visited Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley while in Miami, and I was honestly really excited to try it. I've been to this concept in other cities like Dallas and DC, so I was looking forward to seeing how it translated to South Florida! Especially with how much the food scene is growing. First, I'll give credit where it's due: the space is absolutely beautiful, and the service was a 10/10. Our server, Destiny, was amazing! She was super attentive, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations. SHE made the experience better. Now for the food... overall, I wasn't impressed, especially considering the pricing . FYI: everything is à la carte, which adds up quickly. For drinks, I ordered a pornstar martini. It's not on their signature menu, but it was decent and enjoyable. For food: * The oysters (I ordered them well done) didn't come out well done. While that wasn't a huge deal, there was an odd aftertaste. * The "dream eggs" were pretty basic and didn't stand out. * I ordered lamb chops with a Caesar salad and fries. I was hoping for more side options... it was disappointing that something simple like rice isn't available unless you order a specific entrée (like the stuffed salmon, which my friend said tasted overly fishy). The lamb chops were the biggest letdown for me about a 3/10. They were a good size, but needed more time to cook properly. I only ate one and took the rest home.. they're still in the fridge. Overall, this spot wins on ambiance and service, but falls short on food quality and value for the price. I really wanted to love it, but it just didn't deliver... read more

I love Kitchen & Koctails. After going to the Dallas location a few times while visiting there, I was so excited to find out they were opening a location in Miami. I had brunch at K+K on a Sunday with a group of girlfriends. We sat in front of the beautiful flower wall. The ambiance was perfect. It was packed but it never felt overcrowded. There was a DJ playing some hits but the music was never too loud that we couldn't have a conversation with our party. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The drinks are very sweet but delicious. The golden mimosa tower is so much fun if you are dining with a group. The food is so full of flavor. Every dish I tried was delightful. My favorite appetizer was the crab cake. I had lobster and waffles for my main dish and it was so so good. The fried chicken was also hot, fresh, crispy and delicious. Can't wait to go back! Oh and Welcome home! read more

Great service from Tiana, food was good, ambiance was fun and vibey. The only downfall was that they did not have many of the menu items available. I came here from Brunch with a few friends and I truly enjoyed the esthetics and the vibe. They had a DJ playing good music. Everyone looked classy and beautiful. Tiana offered amazing service. She was very attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. The restaurant did not have shrimp, pork chops, lamb chops and a few menu items available. So many of the items we wanted we could not order. It was very unfortunate because we came a long way to try this place out. Unfortunately, we had to settle for other entrees. There saving grace was that the other entrees were pretty good. We ordered the trinity rolls, and collard green dip for appetizers. Both were excellent. The eggrolls are a bite of Thanksgiving in a roll. The rolls were stuffed with Mac and cheese, collard greens, and sweet potato. Very creative and delicious. The collard green dip was savory and cheesy. Very good. They needed to add more bread for the dip. For Entrees we had stuffed Salmon with dirty rice, Catfish and grits, and Chicken with Butter Pecan waffles. All three entrees were delicious. The stuffed salmon was savory and flavorful. The chicken and waffles were sweet and savory, and the chicken was juicy. The catfish and grits were creamy and flavorful. The catfish was a tad bit on the salty side from the fish fry bit it wasn't unbearable. The Dusse Frose is delicious and the best cocktail on the menu. It comes in a large dusse bottle and it is worth it. Overall, great experience and I will be back. read more

The music and ambiance is great. We had reservations but sat at the bar when we arrived. Service is slow but understandable on a Saturday evening. The food was good & flavorful. We had the rolls, fish and spaghetti & cajun stuffed salmon. The cornbread was a bit dry. The margarita flight was ok. I'd come back & it's not a bad vibe if you're just chilling. The line was long after we sat down so be prepared for that. It's a mix of casual and dressy, as far as attire goes. That's nice to have in Miami. read more

Easy to make a reservation online and highly encouraged. Dress code enforced. You are greeted with Welcome Home/Welcome Back which is inviting/friendly/comforting. Entrees don't come with sides. Server Mike and Splash were amazing and very attentive to our table. Must: Cornbread Recommend: Shrimp & Grits Cocktail- Blackberry Margarita or Rum Punch Skip: Salmon Bites (too Salty) and chef advised that is intentional so just fyi as this same batter is for the fried catfish as well. The Jerk chicken is not your traditional jerk chicken and the Mac and cheese could have been baked longer. Overall Solid experience for comfort/soul food. Drinks are pricey for Wynwood but they are potent. Welcome to Miami read more

Just tried Kitchen + Kocktails Miami, and let me tell you--it's a whole vibe. They've only been open a week, but from the beautiful décor to being greeted with a smiling "welcome home," the experience was top-tier. The restaurant is stunning, spacious, and full of good energy. Shoutout to our server Daz--she was AMAZING. Super sweet, knowledgeable, and attentive. She even hooked us up with a free sample of the peach D'USSÉ frosé, took time to explain the menu, and made us feel so well taken care of. The food? Hot. Fresh. Delicious. We had fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, shrimp & grits, fried catfish & grits, and stuffed salmon with dirty rice--every bite was . Safe to say, I'm obsessed and already planning my next visit. read more

Finally made my way to Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley and the food definitely lived up to the hype I ordered the fried catfish with mac & cheese, along with the deviled eggs topped with blackened shrimp, and every bite was packed with flavor I also treated myself to a flavored margarita, which paired perfectly with the meal I will say, the service can be a little delayed, so definitely go in expecting a wait. But once the food finally hits the table, you understand why people keep coming back. The food was absolutely worth it read more

All I can say is give this place GRACE. It was the grand opening and you can see they are still figuring things out. We came at the time of our reservation just to be told the table wasn't ready we are welcome to sit at the bar to wait. Desiree was able to assist and recommended a few drinks. She was also giving us insight on how the day was going. Our drinks came and it was made to perfection. Although we waited for 30mins we still wanted to eat. We knew what we wanted from the bar and the server realize we was ready so he began to take our order. He served us complimentary shots of their frozen peach D'usse which was delicious. The food came and my blackened salmon was good but I wish there was some type of sauce to accompany it. Tasted the stuffed salmon and candied yams that was a 10/10. There's music playing not sure if a dj is there every night but it was there on a Saturday for opening night. If you are in a rush and have a day full of plans don't come try out this restaurant. They are new to Miami so give them grace everything will take time which is expected just enjoy the music while waiting. Side note everything is al la carte only certain meals come with a side. read more

I really enjoyed the cocktails, the gold fashion and the blackberry margarita were really good. The Dusse instead of Buffalo Trace is a really nice, smooth touch to the old fashion and it's smoked. The black berry margarita was almost like an adult kool-aid drink that takes you back to simpler times. The salmon bites weren't heavily coated and the oysters were perfect. I really enjoyed the jerk lamb chops even though my friend thought they were spicy... the sauce they toss them in is really good(I got it on the side). The only issue I had was the Mac and cheese...even the lobster on top was really good but I did not enjoy the Mac and cheese. Our waiter was attentive and nice. The restaurant was clean and really had a nice vibe to it. Everything else was amazing and definitely worth a visit if you're in the Wynwood area. read more

I have been seeing the promo for this new restaurant and couldn't wait to dine there. My family and I decided to dine in for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. We had a reservation and were immediately seated on arrival. The place is spacious, with plenty of seating. Also, the ambiance is top-tier. They even had a live DJ that was playing the best music!! We had the cornbread, chicken and waffles, catfish breakfast, seafood platter and shrimp platter with collard greens and candied yams. I had the strawberry frozen margarita, which was EVERYTHING!! My family had the rum punch, which they all enjoyed. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Everything was fresh and made to order. I cannot wait to return to try out the dinner menu.

I had such a great experience here! The space itself is absolutely gorgeous--comfy, open, and just has a really inviting vibe. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted so genuinely that it instantly makes you feel at home. I stopped by during happy hour and sat at the bar, which ended up being the perfect choice. The servers were attentive, friendly, and you could tell they actually enjoyed being there. They were more than happy to offer suggestions and to top it off, they even handed out complimentary Peach D'Ussé frosé shots, which was a fun surprise! For drinks, I ordered the Pink Blush twice (yes, it was that good ) . I requested mine to be made with a tequila base. For food, I went with the catfish and spaghetti, and it did not disappoint. The catfish was seasoned perfectly, and the spaghetti sauce tasted incredibly fresh and savory. What really stood out to me was the level of service. Not only did they check on me after my food came out, but they were also attentive throughout the meal, clearing finished plates and keeping everything tidy without being intrusive. Overall, such a vibe. Great atmosphere, great service, and delicious food and drinks. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from the menu! read more

Kitchen & Kocktails by Kevin Kelley absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the energy was vibrant, upscale, and welcoming -- the perfect blend of fine dining and soulful culture. Let's start with the espresso martini -- smooth, perfectly balanced, and strong in the best way. It set the tone for the entire evening. The deviled eggs were creamy with just the right amount of flavor and kick. The char-grilled oysters? Smoky, buttery, and seasoned to perfection. You can tell real attention goes into every plate. For my entrée, I had the fried catfish and grits -- crispy, golden catfish with creamy, well-seasoned grits that tasted like home but elevated. I also tried the fried catfish with yams, macaroni & cheese, and greens, and every single side dish held its own. The yams were sweet and perfectly spiced, the mac & cheese was rich and cheesy without being heavy, and the greens had that slow-cooked, soulful depth of flavor. And the peach cobbler to finish? Warm, comforting, and the perfect sweet ending to an incredible meal. Kitchen & Kocktails delivers not just food, but an experience. The atmosphere, the presentation, the flavors -- everything feels intentional and elevated. I'll absolutely be back and highly recommend it for date night, celebrations, or just when you want amazing Southern cuisine done right. read more

Shout out to Felicia& Chef Eddie as well as the Head security guard for turning our frown into a smile. We had high expectations when we arrived there as it was our first experience but the hostess was not the most pleasant. You have to be kind to people. It's goes along way . Remember it's not what you say but how you say it. Moving past that as I stated earlier Felicia was kind of bubbly , friendly, knowledgeable and did not steer us wrong with the recommendations . Everything from the mocktails to the jerk chicken to the devil eggs to chicken and butter pecan waffles made a statement . You also took an extra step when we asked about the chef and brought us out one . Who was also a people's person . Mr.Chicago thank you all read more

Loved the ambiance....had a garden theme vibe inside. The inside reminds me of a spacious chic cafeteria (makes me wonder if the venue was previously a warehouse or showroom). The drinks had a nice theme to them. The waiter was very nice as he apologized for some issues that came up with the kitchen and bringing out my food timely....he even got the manager involved without me asking. I had the catfish meal, which came with grits and scrambled eggs. The catfish was really good, and I would try them again on their own. Definitely a place to check out in Wynwood. read more

Went back to K + K after an amazing evening at PAMM. I walked away once again extremely pleased with the service. Sebastian was wonderful. 10/10 Tonight I was surprised when we arrived that the restaurant was pretty sparse for our 9p.m. dinner. We did get seated right away and I knew, no matter what, we were getting Fried Chicken again. I was also determined to get the Peach Cobbler that was sold out my last visit. I immediately ordered an Old Fashioned, but was encouraged to try the signature Gold Fashioned. It was a sexy, tasty take on the original. I didn't find it too sweet, but some may. 10/10 We started with Salmon Bites and these light, golden-brown nuggets of deliciousness were, in my opinion, better without the accompanying dip. 10/10 I also ordered the Jerk Chicken Noodle Soup. What is this, a joke? I'm half Asian and half Caribbean, born eating kimchi, so heat is where I thrive. Sebastian told me multiple times that the dish is spicy. Sebastian told me the dish is jerk, jerk, jerk spicy. Again, I love heat. This dish is ridiculous. All good chefs know, there's heat and spice, and then there's heat that ruins taste buds and destroys the palate for the rest of the meal. Chef seems to get real familiar with Scotch Bonnet in this dish. So it is as Sebastian described, jerk jerk. What he didn't account for is the pepper. The heat is one thing, I tried several bites, but the soup didn't have any chicken and the noodles were limp. I would rethink this dish. 1/10 (the 1 is because a "Jerk Chicken Noodle" could be so good, fingers crossed for an edit) We ordered Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish and Collard Greens. The Fried Chicken was a bit salty and the sharp, clean heat I enjoyed the first time wasn't there. It was still moist, crispy and crunchy. 7/10 The Collard Greens did have that beautiful, lingering smoke that I enjoy, but they were a bit softer than last time 9/10. We did get the Peach Cobbler and Banana Pudding 100/10, both are really divine. I decided to add a side of vanilla ice cream after tasting the cobbler, and waited for an odd amout of time before it arrived. The heat from the cobbler was gone, but I did enjoy a couple more bites just the same, live and learn. Tonight the music was good, no live DJ. There was a photographer at $25 a framed photo. I think there was live music before we arrived. I understand it's supposed to be packed for Superbowl weekend, so if you're interested, book a reservation. I look forward to going back. read more

I visited Kitchen + Kocktails for brunch. The water tasted like old lemons, and it took a while for our food to come out. That said, the egg rolls were really good, and the chicken and waffles were also good with a nice little kick to them. The catfish was good a little salty, they don't give you enough grits but there's two pieces of catfish. The restaurant is very pretty inside with a great vibe, and I highly recommend making reservations. Shoutout to the bartender Kimmy she's really good and has a beautiful spirit.

Went for Sunday brunch with a large party of eight. I ordered the pork chop breakfast and overall it was fine. Pros: -Decor/ambiance was very nice. -Good location in Wynwood -Drinks were good (but pricey). -Yams were delicious. -Salmon bites were a good portion but a little salty. -Server was super nice and did her best. Cons: -Food took forever to come out and not just for our table but I saw others complain as well. We waited almost an hour for dessert. Some items we ordered never made it to the table. -Food and drinks are a little expensive for the portions though some dishes like the catfish were great portions wise. I know it's Miami but a crab cake the size of a hockey puck shouldn't be $21. Two cocktails with the automatic gratuity was $55. If you're coming here prepare to spend a lot for what you get. -Music: They played the same 10 Motown songs for over 3 hours (My Girl, Baby Love, War, etc). I love oldies but they definitely needed more variety. Adding some 90s r&b would have been perfect for the vibe. At 4pm they started playing modern music like Future. Overall it wasn't horrible but I probably won't be back, at least until their food service is faster and more efficient. read more

The best chicken and waffles you will ever have but you have to wait for them to open. Kitchen and Kocktails just landed in Miami and they're coming in hot. The moment you walk in you're reminded that you're home and they're not wrong from the crab cake to the salmon bites everything carries depth. But it's the chicken and waffles. It's the juiciest chicken. I'll double down on this because I got their chicken breast. Their waffles rotate, we got the cinnamon bun and it was insane. The braised short rib fell apart and yes, you have to save room for this peach cobbler. So make the res, they are opening this week.. read more

my experience at the Miami location was quite different than my experience in Chicago, where lite-Jazz music played in the back ground, and i was able to chat with my friends and even communicate well with the waitress. Seating was also impeccable. The Miami location is the exact opposite. I went for my birthday dinner the weekend of 5/6 and was not pleased with the service, seating, music or food. the seating is too open, and me and my family was literally sat right in the front parallel to the entrance, and could not enjoy our conversation because it was so noisy from people walking in and having their own conversations- and it was just a raucous. I ordered the lamb trio which featured a crab cake, doubled eggs, and Lamb; the lamb featured no sauce and i was charged extra. MY CRAB CAKE WAS COLD, and the doubled egg mixture was adulterated, as if it had been sitting in an open refrigerated area. there was only one waitress, and she was apparently serving the entire section of people, because she went missing, and my table wen without drinks for 35 minutes, and our appetizer hadn't even arrived yet! so we were just "there" The live music was terrible !!!! So so terrible! some lady was singing and that's when we called for the check! also, we were told that the seating area nearest the door entrance/restroom area was closed, but later witness other people seated in that area. Customer service , EVERYTHING was terrible. i don't recommend ‼ read more

I came straight from the airport to the restaurant and I sat at the best seat in the house... at the bar in front of my bartender Kimi. She was so kind from her hello to her checking in.

I was fortunate enough to have been able to attend Kitchen + Kocktails VIP opening night. Let me tell you, it definitely didn't disappoint! The line to get in was long with people dressed to the nines to try out Miami's new soul food hotspot. Once inside you can't help but notice the signature red rose wall, absolutely beautiful! They have two large bar areas, a stage for live music and lots of ample space to sit and eat. Since we were VIP guest that night, we were treated to sampling different foods off of their menu. We were served, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, lamb chops, southern fried catfish, honey hot chicken, trinity egg rolls, dream eggs with blackened shrimp and banana pudding. We also got to try their, purple margarita, side car cocktail and champagne with glitter. I haven't had such delicious tasting food from a restaurant like that in years! Everything and I do mean everything we tried was absolutely delicious! The staff that we had the pleasure of coming in contact with were very kind, accommodating and efficient. Constantly coming by with more foods to try and quickly taking away any finished plates once we were done. Kevin the owner really outdid himself with his VIP grand opening. He had a live band playing throughout the night. A stilt walker, fire dancer and other performers there to entertain his guests. It's been almost a week since we attended Kitchen + Kocktails opening and I still can't stop thinking about the delicious food we ate. We live out of town, but before we leave we will definitely have to swing back by for another taste of their amazing soul food. read more

I had an amazing time with our server Andre (ask for him when you go he was the best!) The food was delicious, the drinks were on point and the ambiance A+.

I ordered the Honey Bee which was so good, though a bit sweet for my taste. For my entree I enjoyed the Mississippi Catfish and Grits, and let me tell you I've never had Catfish that tasted so fresh in Miami. My mom had the Salmon and Grits, while my stepdad enjoyed the Turkey Black Eyed Peas and Mac and Cheese; he also had the peach cobbler for dessert which he finished before I could snap a pic!

First time visiting Kitchen + Kocktails. The restaurant was cute, played really good music, and was located in a really nice part of Miami. The areas needed for improvement: 1. I made a 9pm reservation hours in advance and was told by the host upon arrival that there would be a short wait. That short wait was 50 minutes long. There were no updates and very dry responses from the host when status updates were made. We told to wait by the bar although she was advised that there was a child in our party. 2. No refills on drinks. $6 for a soda. $9 for lemonade. Alcoholic beverages were ranging $20+ and higher. I ordered a flavored lemonade (served in a tall glass with lots of ice). I asked for no ice on the second one and was given a shorter glass, filled 2/3 of the way. When asked about the refill policy, the waitress advised that because the bar tenders were making the drinks, there were no refills. Kind of insane to me but ok. 3. The food is significantly overpriced. Cmon, $9 for a slice of cornbread? $10 per chicken wing? Everything is ordered à la carte. $13 per each small side, very small portions. I wanted the Red Beans and rice but after confirming that it was served with ONE chicken wing for $31, I chose the chicken and waffles instead. It was decent. The lobster tail was slightly overcooked for $31. The Mac and cheese was ok. Side-note: No prices are listed online prior to arrival (at least I didn't see it). You have to wait until you are there to scan a QR code for the menu with price. For a family of 3 (1 kid, 2 adults), the total was about $300. We spent less at a four star steak house the previous night. Overall, it was an experience. But honestly, due to pricing, I wouldn't go back. read more
