Food: Tasty but not outstanding

At Wr Kitchen & Bar, the menu has a sense of creativity, featuring dishes like the Buffalo Cauliflower and Wood-Grilled Shishito Peppers which can be tasty, but unfortunately served lukewarm sometimes. The star attraction, Ethans Brisket Sandwich, is indeed a treat, yet the smaller portion sizes and seemingly overpriced items can be a letdown.

  • Very Creative

    Creative menu with unique concept offers fun, innovative dining experience.

  • Okay Taste

    Good, tasty food, but experiences diminished by either cold or lukewarm servings.

  • Small Portions

    Small, skimpy portion sizes disappoint, leaving customers feeling underserved.

Vibe: Trendy spot with some caveats

The ambiance is trendy and modern, offering a fresh vibe for diners. However, its high levels of noise and subpar drinks make it less than ideal for a date night. While it has gained some recognition for its uniqueness, it fails to fully wow due to some inconsistencies in service and food quality.

    Clean, modern, trendy atmosphere praised for uniqueness and coziness.

  • Okay Buzz

    Concept recognized as trendy but service and food quality received mixed reviews.

  • Bad Drinks

    Weak, premixed cocktails and overpriced small drinks disappointed customers significantly.

Perks: Solid service amid mild hiccups

With an easily accessible parking lot and a heated patio for comfort, there are a few advantages to Wr Kitchen & Bar's services and amenities. While they can accommodate groups, it's not without minor inconveniences with seating positions. However, the staff is friendly, attentive and has a good range of diet-friendly choices, making it commendably family-friendly.

  • Great Service

    Attentive and friendly staff ensured a seamless, enjoyable dining experience.

  • Okay For Kids

    Modern, fun vibe but with mixed reviews on family accommodations.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Awkward design makes seating and ordering process inconvenient.
