We ordered the Taste of South served family style at the recommendation of the waiter and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The spread included three courses with perfect portions of each component, served with appropriate time in between to savor each dish. It was a wonderful sampling that included some items we would not have tried otherwise.

Enjoyed my dining experience at K+K, their attention to detail with specialty cocktails is a plus! The toasted marshmallow espresso martini is my fave! The food is always flavorful and staff very attentive. Our waitress Knori was fantastic!

Got there a few minutes late for our reservation and they were very accommodating about getting us seated quickly. Delish food, hip vibe, and terrific service by Jose G. A great place to get a meal before (or after) a show at the Anthem, so we'll be back!

    Went for the endless crab legs and cornbread AND the gogo band on Thursdays. Everything was spectacular from the food to the ambiance and especially the music.
