    I 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!

    Go 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!

    Squid 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

    Chef 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

    Food 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.

    One 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.

    They 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.

    Tonight, the fried chicken was transcendent. Truly outstanding, especially when paired with the honey-soaked black pepper biscuit. Bam!

    Prepare your belly with some oysters before digging into the pork belly with polenta and ramps. Both will not disappoint at this comfortable bistro. Read more

    Great for dinner and brunch! The fried chicken and biscuits are amazing but skip the shrimp and grits, pretty boring.

    Went here on a Saturday night for something to eat. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Burgers were great! It was loud, though.

    Had countless things go wrong with our order, and they forgot to bring the dessert for the b day girl. Watch out for brunch time!

    One of the better steak tartares I've had. I'd come here in the summer for the raw bar. Great oyster happy hour.

    The pappardelle and grilled tuna are so worth trying. And, they make good cocktails as well 😋

    Oyster 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.

    if you go to the basement to continue the party at least two thousand dollars you will have to consume

    Oh lord. If you're going to do brunch here, don't do it with a group and make sure you're upstairs. Terrible experience with service; food took 90 mins and it was NOT worth the wait.
