★★★★☆ 4.0 Saul Horowitz · Oct 2025

Highland Kitchen still has a great atmosphere, welcoming, and full of character. The food is good, but to be honest, it’s not quite as great as it used to be. I was especially disappointed to see that they took the fish and chips off the menu that used to be one of my favorites. Still, it’s a solid spot for drinks and a good meal, even if it’s lost a bit of its old magic.

I hardly ever write reviews but I always have the absolute best service when I come here. The food is good, particularly the apps & desserts. The atmosphere is cozy & fun. Every single person who works there is so kind and their servers do such a wonderful job. I’ve been here with family, friends & for date nights and the vibes are always immaculate. Most recently had Brenda as our server and she was so lovely. The hospitality industry has been so tough since 2020 and it’s the folks who work in it who keep us coming back. Definitely recommend this spot. Go & tip your servers and bartenders!!

We took a walk to the Highland Kitchen from our hotel. It was definitely worth it. We were greeted promptly, and pur service was friendly. They provided us a place to park our stroller out of the way, and it never felt like an inconvenience. They provided a high chair and offered a coloring sheet with crayons. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was very well done. I was also happy to have malt vinegar with my fries. The food was hot and fresh. My husband ordered the monkfish special. While it wasn't his favorite, we could tell it was fresh. The pretzel was ok, but the beer cheese dip was fresh and flavorful. The broccolini was good. There was music playing, and the atmosphere was nice even for a family with kids.

This is a great little neighborhood bar/kitchen. Vibes are immaculate and the food is delicious. Try the jambalaya!

It's a cozy place. We went on Friday and it was pretty loud. We got roasted chicken and goat stew. Both were pretty good. No real complaints. It's like Southern comfort food. We also got the bread pudding. The bread pudding was delicious. Giving it four stars for service because they didn't refill our water :(.
