At Kindred we believe the shared meal experience encourages us to slow down & savor each moment…

Designed with warmth in every detail, Kindred Fare is casual & charismatic, inviting people to simply relax & come as they are. This lively & social eatery celebrates the culinary craft with a central bar & open kitchen. The space is flexible & able to accommodate a variety of special occasions in our main dining areas & private room.

 

Our philosophy is simple: to share is to love, enjoying food and drink in good company is one of the greatest pleasures of life, and the best memories are created around the table.

Our team is committed to working with locally sourced & seasonal ingredients. From butchering our meats, baking our own breads, and making everything from scratch, we aspire to deliver delicious farm-to-table fare, year-round.
