Kitchen House - Richland

Wow!! Easily one of the best meals I've had (anywhere) in a long time. Everything including the drinks and service was amazing. If I lived closer, I'd be back!

This place is a diamond in the rough. The location and exterior is modest and gives the illusion of the place being just another restaurant in a strip type mall. Well, the interior, staff, food and experience is anything but typical.The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. They were busy when we arrived but our waiter was good at keeping tabs on us. He was also very friendly and personable, which can make or break a place for us.The food choices are good. It’s not a place that has a million different things but what they have is excellent. The two dishes we picked were better than we expected. The flavors were there and the ingredients were clearly fresh with some possibly coming from their own outside raised garden.The price is a little on the higher side, but it’s worth it as we took some left overs home and had a second meal.They have a sister restaurant just down the road which is more of a country food place but looks just as delicious. It will be on our radar for sure.The place is definitely full of locals, who clearly know of this place. Definitely worth checking out.

One of the quaint locations in the Kalamazoo area, just minutes outside of downtown. Fantastic food and friendly folk with a flair for the Italian. Do yourself a favor and grab a pint to go with your pasta. You won't regret it. Top marks for the spicy sausage rigatoni.

1st timer.The atmosphere was fair…casual, not incredibly busy on a Friday night. That was a positive for me. Dim lighting, tables chairs, no booths. There is a small bar upon entry. Our waitress was busy, but attentive.The brussel sprouts were a hit! Crispy, flavorful, and filling. I believe there was balsamic reduction drizzled atop- perfect finish!??The stuffed peppers were a bit disappointing. The rice was not cooked well and the rice mixture itself lacked sauce. The cheese was a hard lid, instead of a fused melted medley.I also tried the housemade limoncello. Typically, limoncello’s have an intense lemon flavor, are smooth and sweet. I couldn’t find a strong lemon essence but it was sweet; It left an aftertaste, almost like Splenda. But it wasn’t bad. I had two glasses.

Fabulous good, great service, so so good. AND, go to SOUTH KITCHEN their restaurant on Gull Lake. Omigosh, fabulous food. Savor it.
