Another Douglas Katz restaurant that you do not want to miss. The food was delicious - especially the popovers and chicken dish! The staff were all so friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy working there. The atmosphere was so inviting and relaxing with a touch of elegance. We will definitely be back!

Service and food were excellent. We definitely recommend making a reservation as we previously attempted to go on a weekend at 6:30 and there was a 3 hour wait. We came back today with a reservation and it was perfect. Food was amazing and we enjoyed everything. My favorite was the arctic char and popovers, but my husband really liked the braised lamb shank. However, I really don’t think you could go wrong with anything you order.

I've eaten at Kiln (and Doug's other restaurants) many times and always thoroughly enjoy the food. The pork belly and the lamb shank in particular are some of my favorite dishes across all his restaurants. And as someone whose been gluten free for nearly 30 years, I love how many options there are for me. The reason I'm writing this review today is because of how spectacular the service was today (on New Years Eve, one of the busiest nights out). Sarah was our server and she was extremely friendly and personable, and touched our table a minimum of 10 times while we were dining. Between her and the other servers, our drinks were never empty. Good food makes a good restaurant; great service is what brings customers back.

Lamb shank, ricotta dumps, and croquettes were bomb.com. Left emotionally attached. Cocktails delicious as well. Wish I weren’t driving. Leah is an excellent server. Will come back for sure.

Everything was great! We had the eggs, beets, pork belly, spoon bread, steak tips, cheesecake and baked Alaska. As with Amba and Zhug, the majority of the menu is GF, which is great for my wife who has Celiac, and allows us to share all the delicious bites. The atmosphere was relaxed and bright, and the service warm and efficient. We will definitely be back!

Very soft fresh atmosphere with delicious food. It was very intimate but also an awesome place so share plates amongst friends and family. I throughoughly enjoy small plate restaurants since I can never seem to figure out what I want to order. The wine menu was just enough and the server had amazing suggestions for pairings. All in all we had a great time and left more than satisfied. They even gave us an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie as a parting treat!

Kiln was a fantastic experience. Drinks were on point, I had the #6 cocktail which is essentially a negroni, both bitter and sweet. Had 4 other dishes, all of which were sauced and plated perfectly, with detail and distinction of flavor. Finished it all up with Baked Alaska, which was the best dessert I've ever had. This is one of the greats in Cleveland.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 2nd anniversary at Kiln while visiting family in Cleveland, and we couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Being foodies from Dallas, we were excited to explore the culinary scene in this vibrant city, and Kiln did not disappoint! The concept of shareable plates was perfect for us; we spent the evening sampling a variety of dishes and wishing we had more people at the table to try even more of the menu. We kicked off our meal with the Roasted Candy Striped Beets—absolutely a must-try! Be sure to have all the flavors in one bite to fully appreciate the greatness of this dish. Next up, the mushroom tartlets were delightful, perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken Livers were a decadent treat that we thoroughly enjoyed. We rounded out our selections with the Stuffed Cabbage, which paired beautifully with the Lamb Shank—an excellent choice that added to our unforgettable meal. We also had a lovely wine from Stolpman Vineyards, La Cuadrilla, which complemented our dishes wonderfully. For dessert, we tried the Local Apple Crisp, a vegan dish that was good but could have benefited from a bit of fat to bind the topping properly and achieve the crispness typically expected in a classic apple crisp; it ended up being more of a dry crumble. Overall, we absolutely loved our experience at Kiln and are already looking forward to our next visit. If you find yourself in Cleveland, make sure to check this gem out—you won’t regret it!

We’ve only been here twice but it’s quickly become a favorite. Great service, delicious food, and a vibey atmosphere. I personally prefer the upper floor but you can’t go wrong. I also think the cocktails here are the best of all of the Doug Katz restaurants. Don’t sleep on the salads. We skipped the first time and it was a mistake. The kale one is delicious. Cant wait to be back.

Incredible experience all around! Our party was almost entirely gluten-free, and the options are stellar! Kale salad and corn bread were favorite choices, in addition to desserts - baked Alaska and apple crumble! Steak, pork belly, and potato’s were all incredible as well. Cocktails were fantastic, and the team was kind, well educated on the menu, and attentive. This restaurant will go to the top of our must-return-to list!
