I applaud The Kitchen's use of locally produced produce and organics. It's nice to have a place to eat where I know the restaurant shares the same values around food that I do.
The sommelier is insightful and helpful. The wait staff is pretty good, but I would like to see more consistency and professionalism. Much better than the usual college kid just earning a little extra cash though (something that is synonymous with a college town).
When The Kitchen first opened there was much less butter/oil used in the dishes then there is now. This would be my primary criticism; I'd like to see them cut back on the butter/oil used.
I love the ambiance and decor.
