Reunion Kitchen + Drink

"Update: apparently they have made the necessary adjustments to continue with their excellent food, drinks and service. So happy to report they are back to one of the best restaurants around. I have eaten at this establishment since they first opened. I can't even count how many times I've enjoyed their amazing food and cocktails. Until tonight!!!!!!!!??? My typical drink is a Manhattan. I have enjoyed them here and other establishments for years. I brought a dear, dear friend to this establishment for the very first time. The drinks were absolutely horrible! And I express horrible!!!!!!. Kudos to the chef and the staff for excellent service at the dinner table and entrees. Patrons need to understand that it is hard to find good service and good people to provide that service during these times. I will come back, I'm not so sure my friend will. I still give them five stars. This is the first time it is been so disappointing. I have to admit, if it happens again I won't be back and neither will any of my friends. I've been enjoying this establishment since the first week they opened. I hope to continue."

"Great food, attentive but not over bearing staff, and quiet enough to have a conversation, but not too quiet where you can't laugh out loud."

"My cousins and I visited for dinner after a long moving day. They have multiple locations, and I’ve been to the Santa Barbara location for brunch, so this is my first time visiting for dinner. Parking: They’re located in a high foot traffic plaza. Finding a parking spot during rush hour will be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a large space with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. The inside is incredibly dark. Since my cousin brought her dog, we dined outside. They had a few umbrellas, but since the sun was setting, it didn’t do much. It was very busy, so the wait time to dine inside was over 30 min. Since we opted to dine outside, we were luckily seated immediately. Service: I didn’t catch his name, but thank you to the host who seated us immediately. He was really nice. Shout out to our server Elise for being quick and attentive. She checked on us a few times and refilled our waters. Throughput took under 20 min after ordering. Food & drinks: I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken and Dad’s Mai Tai. The entree included baked & fried chicken thighs, drenched with hot honey Nashville sauce, and served with mac & cheese, green beans, and a biscuit on the side. The sauce was sweet and had a slight spicy kick to it. It made the chicken even more delicious. The mac & cheese was creamy, and the green beans were seasoned well. The biscuit was dry, and the butter didn’t really help. I like sweet cocktails, but the Dad’s Mai Tai was too sweet for me. The maybe extra shots of rum would’ve been sufficient. Pricing: I really enjoyed their dinner! Highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken entree! Prices are more than you’d expect, but it’s not surprising in this economy."
