Next of Kin Restaurant

My first time here and I will say that it was wonderful. I met my family who I haven't seen in a while. The server was patient even though we couldn't decide on food because we were catching up with each other. He kept drinks and appetizers flowing and was very cordial. I originally ordered the fish, but as it was almost ready, he came out to say that it wasn't looking very fresh so asked if I wanted to order something else. Even though I ordered a different dish, my food came out just as quickly as everyone else at the table. Delicious food, great drinks, lovely ambience and awesome service!

A very nice restaurant with warm and attentive service and great food. Simple dishes are complemented by inventive flavors. Burgers (both Kinship and Lamb) are amazing. Good wine list and some tasty cocktails. Coreena was the most pleasant and knowledgeable server. Highly recommended.

Great first impression at this restaurant. Their sides are HUGE! Great for a larger get together. I had a delicious meal and would definitely visit again! The fries were a huge hit :)

Throughly enjoyed the unique and stylish decor. Inside a round building, Next of Kin utilized the space beautifully. Enjoyed an eclectic menu, including an unexpected surprise in the form of Kamehachi sushi. We did not realize the association between the two restaurants. Enjoyed a couple rolls as our appetizer. The half chicken was delicious, incredibly moist, and as the waiter said, extremely underrated. The Miso Salmon was excellent as well. Impeccable service and friendly staff.

Wonderful experience in a great restaurant. The wait staff was great and the food was very tasty! Highly recommend

Came here on a Sunday for brunch - had the Kale Florentine and a Cinnamon Oat Latte. Both were excellent. Wait staff was very friendly and accommodating (we were headed to the airport afterwards and they graciously stored our luggage out of the way). Physical space strikes a nice balance between mid-mod architecture and modern updates. I'd definitely come back next time I am in town.

The lavender vanilla latte could be the best latte I've ever had. It's like relaxation in a cup. The pastries are also fresh and lovely. Be sure to check around the corner to the right for the best seating.

The food and service was great. Calm atmosphere. Honey butter fries were fantastic!

Great food and service! My server, Manuel, was top notch! Will definitely be back again!

Brunch! Great cocktails, fresh food, and friendly service.

My very first time here a few days ago. The food was delicious and so were our drinks. Our server was new (we were his first table on his own) and he absolutely killed it! We were very disappointed by the manager afterwards, she asked us how he did almost as if she was out to get him😕 trust in your employees, and if not see what you can do to help them. That young man was absolutely amazing

This restaurant looks like a two Michelin star place! They are super slammed, but as you can imagine, it's super hard to get staffed so they were all running rampant to fulfill guest needs.
Drinks were great, especially the Bloody Mary for lunch/brunch.
The Journeyman Barrel aged Fig and Plum Manhattan was heavenly. Salads were stellar, especially the watermelon salad. Music was divine. Please be patient when you go and enhance your experience with understanding how many tens of thousands of individual tasks each of the staff performs in one shift. It's an experience 4 sure!

We had a fantastic experience at Next of Kin this past weekend. The food was absolutely delicious - we got the Ocean Drive sushi special, the salmon, and the burrata and tomato confit toast appetizer. Our kids also go the chicken tenders and fries. Everything tasted so good and was top quality. Our drinks were also really yummy. Service was impeccable and very attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Best cocktails in Evanston. The service and staff are friendly and fun. An excellent space for any occasion. One of a few places where desserts are made in-house and are truly fresh. The menu changes and the chef is incredibly creative and skilled. Dine often for the full experience of the restaurant. From dates, to dinner with friends, to out of town guest, a beautiful space with incredible food. You won't be disappointed. Take your time, make it a night. Get a reservation and enjoy the evening.

Great welcome and although initially forgot about our table, rapidly recovered and provided an awesome experience; friendly, great suggestions and creative drinks (Try House Rules)... We ordered many plates and shared family style to sample delicious flavors. Management and Service are caring. We had a great experience... Will be back when we return for another KELLOGG School Reunion. Thanks Mark and Ted. Cheers from Miami!

Very cool place. Our party of nine ordered appetizers... hummus, raw tuna and Brussels sprouts. For entrees we had... hamburger, fried chicken, hanger steak and halibut. Everyone enjoyed everything. Our server was very friendly and professional. Interesting restaurant in downtown Evanston.

Good service. Great food. Good drinks, apps and main course entrees - They have something for every palate. Shared pasta primavera, spicy curry bowl and fried chicken among 4 adults. Delicious.

I was passing by and found their name on google! Lovely patio, Patrick took care of our table with awesome smile. Safety it was the best part. But they need to follow inside the ladies room. Definitely amazing food.Thank you.

Actually amazing. The brunch is particularly well done. Kinship delivers on such a high quality meal without feeling taken advantage of.

The service at the bar (when eating) left a bit to be desired but it didn't diminish the experience too much.

This place is fashionable! I strolled in wearing my Reptar shirt and immediately felt underdressed. There was marble with gold accents, gold on a reclaimed wood wall, fancy light treatments. I felt like I walked into a crate and barrel magazine. Our table got the monkeybread. It looked gorgeous with nuts and caramel poured over it. It was a little dry, but very tasty. Our little niece liked it too. 3/4 of the adults at our table got the cheddar biscuit breakfast sandwich. It was awesome. I would definitely get it again. The server was nice enough to get a little extra horseradish in my bloody Mary too. I would definitely go back, but I'd probably dress a little cooler.
