Wednesday evening, and we needed good meal...and soon. I also had a craving to go someplace new, so I jumped on my iPhone Open Table app and discovered that Kinley's had some room available at a 6:30p seating. Perfect! I had heard good things and was very excited.
I had been to the building before when it was a loud dining experience and a different restaurant. I was pleased to see major renovations had been undertaken to reduce the noise and create a more sophisticated dining experience. The bar was beautiful, and the main dining room very nice. Major efforts have been made to create a more intimate feel throughout the large dining room.
We did have to wait about 10 minutes before we met our server, but from that moment forward we were waited on diligently by an attentive staff.
We started with an olive plate and bacon wrapped dates. What a combination! I love olives anyway, but when combined with the savory/sweet combination of the dates I was overwhelmed. Bacon with dates...don't pass it up!
I enjoyed the Caprese salad, but it was large enough I could have shared it with my wife. As a member of the clean plate club, I was, unfortunately, getting pretty full by the end of the salad. Be sure to leave room for the main dish next time!
I had the Filet Mignon. I normally avoid any sort of steak in restaurants because I am spoiled by my own steak grilling skills (if I do say so myself). But, I had a feeling I would enjoy this preparation, I mean hey it was topped with crispy prosciutto and bleu cheese. How could that go wrong. Let's just say that I am glad I had the Filet Mignon!
My wife had the pasta dish. It was also very tasty with great Asparagus Alfredo and sauteed zucchini, winter greens, & roasted garlic.
I could barely move after such a large feast. Again, I need to watch the appetizer and salad courses. I probably would have had a desert otherwise.
