The Kitchen

Nice food quality and good service

My experience with this company has been wonderful.

I had a flavorless, sub-par chicken-noodle soup here that took forever and a day to arrive at the table. Never went back.

Corner joint, very small. Great food, always a favorite. Good spot to go before or after a movie at The Vista.

It's like going to your mom's house. Home cooking style. Love their corn bread and wish they actually sell it. Love to come here once a while to get some home cooking style meals.

I really like the food in this snug little Silverlake hole in the wall, but the service is somewhat strange. The waitresses and busboys have this dour look, as though working at the place is akin to enduring a particularly awful play they can't wait to end. This effect is somehow highlighted by the smallness of the place and gives it a rather formal, frosty aura. (Perhaps there is unseen drama in this Kitchen?) I can't fault the food, which strikes me as a more refined version of "comfort food", but a somewhat cheerful, good humored waiter or waitress can make a casual dining experience much more enjoyable. Maybe they need a kazoo player or a little 'Palermos personality' added to the mix. I'll probably go back again.. sometime.
