Editorial Review for The Kitchen – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The restaurant's stripped-down interior--exposed brick and concrete walls painted with whimsical murals of dancing place settings--is authentically worn in, rather than distressed Pottery Barn-style industrial. The place is thronged with late-rising hipsters and hungry clubbers before, during and after a night on the town. Old-fashioned comfort food with a sophisticated streak is the restaurant's specialty, like grilled pork chops with goat cheese latkes and sesame-crusted albacore.

Went here on a rainy Saturday night - 8:30ish - as a party of six. Since they do not take reservations, we knew we may be in for a wait. Rather than seating smaller parties ahead of us, they gladly held tables that could be pushed together to accommodate our group as quickly as possible. We were seated in 30-40 minutes. Standouts from the meal -- mac & cheese appetizer is great to share and the bruscetta carbonata is a must (even if you tihnk you don't like eggplant -- it's awesome). Main dish higlhlghts -- fried chicken (delicious & not greasy) and ny strip with blue cheese and truffle fries (to die for!). Make sure to leave room for dessert -- their homemade treats are well worth the extra calories and unbuttoning the top button of your jeans. We shared the bread pudding (amazing!), pecan pie (awesome) and flourless chocolate cake (loved by the chcoco fans at the table). They now have a liquor license, but it is stil OK to BYOB -- $8 corkage. They are also a KCRW discount joint - so you can save an extra 15% if you bring your card. Highly recommend this neighborhood joint!

I live in West Hollywood, but it's worth the traffic and the drive to Silver Lake to visit The Kitchen. I have to say, I have been going here regularly for three years, and I have never had a bad experience. I have also never ordered any of their main dishes other than the fried chicken. I know, I know. My friends have enjoyed the pork chops and tried their seasonal specials, but I am loyal to the bird. It's a definite must, resting atop a pile of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Plus, take away the food and the place is still fun. It's Silver Lake so the atmosphere is relaxed and artsy, the clientele diverse. I like to bring in my own bottle of wine or grab one last minute from the store around the corner.
Pros: Fried Chicken
