- ChicagoistJanuary 21, 2015This place has excellent cooking, great drinks and you don’t have to wade through crowds to get them. Don’t miss the perfectly scrambled creamy eggs on toast with whitefish and juicy salmon roe. Read more
- Josh WSeptember 1, 2014Probably the best salmon tartar in the city. Interior is beautifully designed. Nice outside dining space as well. Perfect date spot. A must try for all seafood lovers.
Redeye ChicagoSeptember 29, 2014This seafood-centric restaurant puts its own spin on Scotch egg by swapping out the traditional sausage with whitefish. Finish on a sweet note with an eclair on the side.

Matt GoldstickFebruary 20, 2014Dining room has great energy. Definitely try to sit there instead of the bar. Fish and chips and chowder outstanding. Everything else top quality. Will return soon!
Noah PinzurFebruary 10, 2014Kinmont was really fantastic. Only open one week into service and aside of one minor issue, all of service was great. Food was fantastic and the servers are really top notch.

Matt 👀March 23, 2015Awesome ambiance. Very dark. Great date spot. Duck confit spring salad was on point. Trout equally as creative.
