Lovely ladies dinner

by KatblueNYC

had a great dinner last night with 5 friends, i checked and the first seating is 7:30, so I made our reservation for 8PM. Once everyone arrived we were seated immediately (8:15) at the banquette in the front. Cute, kind waiter, good service. We drank bottles of prosecco and had lots of seafood: oysters, tuna tartar, mussels, and the scallop entree, all were delicious. Also the mac and cheese is good but too heavy on the truffle oil, the corn is fabulous. The mussels were very very spicy but I love heat, some girls couldn't eat them. Some sound absorbency would be nice we had to SCREAM at each other to hear but were having fun so didn't care... just an fyi. Best for either large groups or groups of 2, tables are close and not a lot of room.

• Pros: Fabulous mussels, attractive men at the bar
• Cons: VERY loud

Fantastic food and bar scene

by peteyw

I have been to Kingswood several times over the last month for both dinner and drinks. I actually stumbled across this place and have only had amazing experiences so was very surprised to read about other peoples experiences. Yes, the place is loud but that is kind of the fun thing. Its one of the few places you can go and get a drink in a great scene and then if you are hungry grab a really good meal too. Anyway, I hear they are changing the ceiling in the next couple of weeks which is going to address the situation. Everytime I have been there the staff have been really friendly and helpful. the sommelier takes the time out to come to all the tables and makes useful recommendations without making you feel like you have to spend lots of money.

I have tried most things on their winter menu...the coconut curry mussels are delicious and great to share at the bar if you just want a light meal. I also really like their lamb osso buco which was perfectly cooked and melts of the bone. my girlfriend eats the cod everytime which comes which is really light but so flavorsome. The scallop special was to die for. And of course those truffle fries!!

this place is definitely in my rotation and looks like it is here to stay.

• Pros: great food and bar scene in the same place
• Cons: none
