Promoting Freedom for Creative Architecture
Kitchen Social quickly earned rave reviews when it opened at Polaris Fashion Place in 2019 thanks to its scratch-made menu and attentive service, earning a 4.5-star review from Melissa Kossler Dutton after her family visited in November.
Bravo Brio Restaurant Group veterans form part of its partnership, and offer an experience that bridges modern day tavern dining and something more upscale. Their menu ranges from sophisticated cheddar scallion biscuits and Korean BBQ cauliflower, to seared salmon, crispy chicken and teriyaki ribeye entrees.
Kitchen Social is bright and spacious, with open ceilings creating an expansive feel and lively buzz of activity. The design is sparse but effective - glass garage door walls slide down to cover indoor seats while still permitting year-round use of its outdoor patio space. Light fixtures combine modern geometric with something gothic; while its bar features polished concrete counters topped with metal, wood, and wrought iron fixtures.
Staff at this restaurant is both helpful and friendly; yet professional as well. A manager at the front desk is always on hand to answer questions, while waiters provide explanations and recommendations that pair well with beverages. Their menu features everything from burgers and pizza to soups, salads and pasta dishes; dinner service runs Monday-Thursday 3-9 PM while brunch runs 11AM-10PM Friday/Saturday.
Kitchen Social will expand their reach in downtown Dublin later this summer with the opening of their second location at Crawford Hoying's Bridge Park District, covering 4,200 square feet with an outdoor patio. Their food and drink offerings will remain the same as they currently do at Polaris; however, at Dublin they will provide full bar services offering 25-30 taps including some Ohio beers!
