I loved the patio - it was a beautiful night. The service was impeccable and the menu was fun and different. We all had things we don't usually eat: Pulled Pork, Creamy Cremini Fettuccini, and Halibut Wrap. Delicious! They also had a great beer selection.

Sadly, I am behind on my reviews, due to a lot of personal issues going on in my life, I should have done this back on May 13 when I had visited. But Kenwood's Kitchen definitely deserves a shout out on their server, I believe (and hope that I have her name correct) Bella was phenomenal her service was definitely a 5! The kind of service I myself would give customers as a server! She treated me like I had been coming to Kenwood's as a regular when in all actuality it was my first visit. For a meal, I have been tending to lean more toward having appetizers, because you get a variety and its not super filling! Well I had their delicious Brussels Sprouts that had Candied Pecans, Parmesan cheese and a Balsamic glaze! OMG the taste was amazing! I absolutely love these! I am just glad I didn't have to share! In addition, I had their Quesadilla with the brisket, another taste sensation! Plus I am an iced tea lover, and they had Raspberry Iced tea which just added to the whole meal! Through the duration of my meal, I was constantly checked on to make sure I had everything I needed! Once again, phenomenal service!I would have been back since my last visit, just have had way too much going on! Thank you for the great service and meal!

Surprisingly a wonderful experience. We had a large party and they were easily able to accommodate our group of 10+. Our server handled our orders flawlessly and the seating arrangement had plenty of space to fit us. It was my first time here, but thankfully, our group started with a variety of recommended apps, which was plenty of time to catch up with friends and pick something out.The apps that hit my side of the table were the jalapeno poppers, K-so dip, and cheesy dough. If you love cheese, the starter plates are definitely your go to page and you can tell from our selection that we love cheese. The jalapeno poppers were battered and fried to a crisp. You get four to a plate, so a good amount to share with. The K-so dip was alright, but I prefer the cheesy dough. They take a little longer to prepare, but it's like a cheesy hot pocket served with a side of marinara.For my meal, I chose the Cowboy burger with tots + a strawberry mule. I thought about adding bacon to make it like a Carl's Jr western bacon cheeseburger, but I didn't want a super heavy lunch. And thankfully, I didn't! Their onion rings were massive, stacked, and super crispy. The burger itself was filling and I ended up packing the tots for takeaway.Overall, good place for lunch.

Jacob was my server on the patio and was absolutely great. This is my go to place for a quick escape now. Being a local I am always looking for a pet friendly patio. The food was great, I had a side salad and brisket sliders. Great atmosphere, it was a nice sunny day with a slight breeze and it was a very nice. Highly recommend.

Great menu. Our group ordered the Salmon plate , Pulled pork plate , BBQ Chicken flat bread pizza. Everyone was really pleased with their meal and service. We ate on outside patio per our request. We showed up Sunday after brunch had just ended. Excellent service easy going atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating with heaters and umbrellas for weather variation. We were filled up with our order so we didn't try dessert. Parking is in ample. It's shared with several other restaraunts and business. Will be eating there again.

Food was excellent! The Fried pickles are amazing!! Had burgers, the Cobb salad, tater tots, spicy chicken sliders, and the BLT- all of it was amazing! Prices are a little higher than other places but the quality of food was great!

The only time i leave a review is when the place is REALLY good or REALLY bad and honestly I can’t speak highly enough of this place!!! We had a party of 7 ((4 adults and 3 kids/babies)) they sat us immediately, granted we did have a reservation. The server was more then pleasant. In fact every staff member we encountered was SO nice! The food came out ridiculously fast. And every staff member was so nice to our kids and even held our 5 month old.we will definitely come back and recommend this place to others!!

Very nice meal and prompt friendly service. The cheese dough was phenomenal.
Kieara was a fantastic server. Mushroom flatbread was delicious and garlic herb shrimp good too. A little overpriced for portion size. Will come back if portions get bigger. Left hungry.

Trendy restaurant. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The menu has tons of different choices so even picky eaters can find something to love.#Googleguides #womenwhoguide #kenwoodskitchen&tap #costamesarestaurants #costamesa #kitchenandtap #localguides

I’ve been here 2x. Loved it both times. The serves were very friendly. My friends and I love to have conversations with our servers. Liz and John were lots of fun. Get the brisket main plate. Garlic mash potatoes and mushrooms. Gluten free options all over. To ownership, consider a hard kombucha in stead of 2 hard seltzer options? I’d suggest a flyer embers or June shine perhaps.I’ll be back!

Eat here once a week. Great place

Found this gem in Costa Mesa called @kenwoodskitchenandtap . Joey recommend the sandwich breakfast which was awesome with a cucumber martini to die for. Come check this place out if you are around, they have the NFL network so you can see the games. The tater tots with melted cheese are something else ?
