Every single thing was on point. I loved every dish we got. The olive bread was amazing, crab and shrimp appetizers delicious and fresh tasting, the salad was well balanced and tasty. I'll definitely be going back. It's really nice when you get a server that doesn't talk 3 octaves higher than the normal voice. She was attentive, but not overbearing. I rate places on cleanliness of bathrooms, they did good; was very clean. I can't wait to try more stuff on their menu.

First let’s talk about the service. Top notch! My dinner companion doesn’t talk much about food or service, but he kept mentioning the staff was attentive to all the patrons throughout the restaurant. For me it speaks volumes when the quiet guy notices these things. I definitely agree. I also noticed that all staff took up the role of greeter/host as the need arose and welcomed guest as they entered. Now the food. It was hands down, the best steak I’ve had in years. I had the New York, medium rare and it was perfect, tender and seasoned well. I barely touched the steak sauce I ordered. I’m not much of a Mac n cheese person, but that was quite tasty as well. The baked potato was pretty good too, but really how can a baked potato fail?? My companion had the rib eye, medium and he enjoyed it very much. He also hardly touched the steak sauce. For dessert we enjoyed the butter cake. It was good. The steak was better 🙂.

We went here for the first time for my birthday dinner last week. Got to pick a free dessert at the end for my bday. Everything was excellent and the steak was perfectly cooked and super tender. The lobster Mac n cheese was really yummy and the cocktail was perfect, I got the hibiscus drop. Towards the end we still had most of the lobster Mac left and it was cleared from the table by mistake when we were going to take the rest home 😅 they replaced it with a whole fresh one for free which was super nice, thank you! Somehow they all kept track that it was my birthday, even the waiters and people who didn't serve me. They were very attentive! We had great service and didn't wait too long for food.

We walked in this modern welcoming atmosphere. We had from the lunch menus the halibut tacos that were very tasty the fries were super crispy. The Lobster Roll was excellent, the Onion-soup was a tasteful good experience. We will be back at Kennedy's Decent priced and excellent service

We made reservations for our Anniversary. It was amazing! The food, the service. They even took the time to write us a wonderful Happy Anniversary message. Above and beyond! We will definitely be back!
Haley Kick
Such an amazing experience for our anniversary! They really went above and beyond to make our day special, even adding personal touches. I haven't had an experience like this here in Eugene, so I'm glad there's something a little higher end in town now. The food was fantastic, especially the seafood tower. Loved the ambiance as well, they really did a good job at transforming the brewery into a fine dining room. Wait staff was also very attentive and friendly. Can't wait to come back!
