Harumi UJuly 22, 2014I was hesitant between 2 dishes and strongly recommended biscuit and fries chicken. Generous portion (not to mention very juicy inside and crispy outside) of chicken and very unique take of biscuit!
Nate SOctober 25, 2014Go for the $30 boozy brunch on Sat/Sun. Don't be tempted by the traditional brunch specials (eggs benny, etc)- go with the burger. One of the best in the city!
Ms HeleneAugust 8, 2014Squid salad was chargrilled & served with a tangy yogurt sauce, peppers, radish and fresh cucumber. Tuna entree could not be fresher with a light ratatouille and sautéed kale $26
CITY GRITAugust 5, 2014One of our fav lunch spots in the hood! Someday, when we’re ballers, we’re gonna roll to Ken & Cook & order the Nolita Plateau. Till then, we’ll stick with our favs – Kale Salad & the Italian Panini.
Sinem CaliskanJune 10, 2014Grilled Tuna is really awesome 😋 you should try it mid-rare 👍 also the waiter is sooo kind and the atmosphere is very nice ✌️
Food NetworkApril 10, 2013Chef Richard Diamonte is meticulous about his produce; the chef himself insists on carrying delicate produce, like heirloom tomatoes, into the restaurant each day. Via CityEats.com Read more

Roby LyzaMay 6, 2013was there for Sunday brunch & the $40.00 all included formula was like 'drink all u can drink with that!' : TOTALLY LIKED! the food was great:finally a 'well done' cooked steak as no others_bravi!
TomJuly 21, 2016Food is good but slightly overpriced. Service is friendly and there's live jazz. If you're looking to have a conversation over your meal, ask to be seated further from the stage. It can get loud.
JY GBApril 30, 2014They gave a large choice in whisky's, so definitely worth trying of you like whisky. Staff is friendly, and they have live jazz on Sunday.
Caitlyn FowlesOctober 12, 2014Great for dinner and brunch! The fried chicken and biscuits are amazing but skip the shrimp and grits, pretty boring.
LindsayJanuary 31, 2014Tonight, the fried chicken was transcendent. Truly outstanding, especially when paired with the honey-soaked black pepper biscuit. Bam!- April WallogaFebruary 12, 2014One of the better steak tartares I've had. I'd come here in the summer for the raw bar. Great oyster happy hour.
Helene Lund EngebøAugust 16, 2016Went here on a Saturday night for something to eat. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Burgers were great! It was loud, though.
angela gaylorMay 13, 2016Had countless things go wrong with our order, and they forgot to bring the dessert for the b day girl. Watch out for brunch time!
- JY GBApril 28, 2014The pappardelle and grilled tuna are so worth trying. And, they make good cocktails as well 😋
Zee TasdemirJune 10, 2014This place is amazing. The waiters are very nice as well. I got the pan roasted duck breast. Soooo good.
nancy t.December 8, 2014Great cozy place for a $30 boozy brunch. Bellinis, mimosa, bloody marys and screwdrivers.
Official HankJune 12, 2012Best birthday celebration took place here! Hot new spot! Oysters, old school cocktails and outstanding entrees! Pure bliss
Marc SommerDecember 5, 2014Great atmosphere, great staff, delicious. Very limited vegetarian options.
Soumya SJuly 2, 2012Best combo of open windows and full blast A/C in all of nolita. Perfect on a sweltering summer day...
Pamela CSeptember 16, 2013Live jazz on Sunday night is a great chill way to end the weekend - fantastic food too
KirsyApril 7, 2013The burger- served in a bed of caramelized onions is one of the best burgers in the city!
Katy AoyagiJune 2, 2012Butcher's Muse is a tasty cocktail and the fried chicken is great with the honey soaked biscuits!
Tyler SimmonsMay 17, 2015Oyster happy hour is good but the dinner food is exceptionally mediocre. In a neighborhood with an abundance of choices, Ken and Cook is totally missable. The burger and was undercooked and bland.
I don't understand how this place is always empty the happy hour is amazing
Sagy MirandaAugust 3, 2013if you go to the basement to continue the party at least two thousand dollars you will have to consume
SuleeMay 10, 2013They got my rezzie wrong then sat me at a crap table behind a pillar. When I told the kind waiter he moved me. We'll see about the food!
Ask for Jamie! Get the vodka martini with a splash of elderflower. Yum!
Kristen HessJanuary 6, 2013AMAZING FOOD at this place! Stay tuned for my full review and photos this week!!
