Kitchen On Main

We had a great dinner at Kitchen On Main this past weekend! The service was excellent, great drinks selection, and delicious food. You'll pay top dollar, but the quality of food and service was worth it this time. Hope to return in the future for another great experience.

Yesterday, Debra and I decided to take in a new restaurant, and had noticed Kitchen on Main the other day, as we were driving through Daphne. I used Google Maps to find the business and to see what their hours were. I saw they had a wonderful Facebook page, and noticed that they accepted reservations via text message. I typed in my message indicating we were looking for a reservation between 6:30 and 7:00 PM for the Tuesday evening, and within a few minutes I had a return reply asking for how many and my name. Shortly, they responded with a message indicating we were booked for two at 6:30 PM. I was impressed! We arrived promptly at 6:30, were greeted at the door, when we let them know that we were the Rankins’, they promptly escorted us to our table, and welcomed us. Our wait staff were SkyAnn and Leah, they asked us if we were first time diners with them or returning. They provided us menus, wine and beverage list and asked if we had any questions. They had a great listing of different types of wine, both white and red, and something we don't see often, was a listing for a port wine! They were very courteous, efficient, and Cheery! The evening manager and bartender greeted us (Stephanie), and then visited for just a bit, asking whether we had any questions about the menu or the beverage selections. As this was our first time there, we indicated we needed a couple minutes to study the menu so that we could make wine selections that would compliment our entrées. As we studied the menu, we were excited and eager to try many items! They had many appetizers, small plate selection, and entrées that looked delicious. Debra decided to try the diver scallops, and I opted for the Pan Seared black grouper. We also decided to have a small plate of BBQ Bacon wrapped shrimp. They brought our wine, we had lovely conversation, and shortly the small plate arrived. The plate had a lovely presentation and was delicious. After a few minutes they brought our entrees, which were equally as lovely in the presentation! We so enjoy when a chef ensures the plated food looks as wonderful as it's going to taste! Kudos to the chef at Kitchen on Main! The cut of grouper was thick, yet chef had prepared it exactly as fish should be, moist, tender, delectable. Debra’s diver scallops were equally as tasty and she was kind to share a bite with me! We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, delighting in each bite, with our wine serving to potentiate the lovely tastes. We were not planning on dessert however when Leah let us know the offerings, I could not resist the blueberry cobbler. I must say, it was phenomenal. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This restaurant is quaint, nestled in old downtown Daphne, and has plenty of parking in an adjacent lot. We noticed on our way out that they have some outdoor seating which we are looking forward to enjoying next time. I can't say enough good and gracious comments for this lovely restaurant. We had such a great time, the food was wonderful, the service was spot on and our hosts were gracious. We will definitely be back, and have added Kitchen on Main on our list of “Go To” places! I highly recommend you do also! Thank You to Kitchen on Main and their wonderful staff.

Dinner with the Brown's in Downtown Daphne!!! It's a quaint little dining experience...a taste of the gulf and farm fresh bounty...mixology of cocktails were tasty!!! The Fried Banana-nut Bread Pudding was to die for!!!

I recently dined at Kitchen on Main and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfectly blending casual comfort with fine dining sophistication. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel like valued guests throughout our meal. Now, onto the food – simply divine! Every dish we ordered was a perfect balance of flavor, presentation, and creativity. The triggerfish special was a true highlight, and the attention to detail in every course was evident. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were vibrant, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. What really stood out was the passion and care that clearly goes into every aspect of this restaurant, from the thoughtfully curated menu to the beautiful decor. It’s rare to find a place that hits all the marks like this, and I can’t recommend Kitchen on Main enough. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an exceptional meal, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Reservations required but we lucked out and were able to get a last minute reservation. Had 3 shareable plates between 2 of us more than enough food and they were all fantastic.
