Hey, Atlanta! Have you heard the buzz? The city’s culinary scene just leveled up with the grand opening of Kitchen + Kocktails, a new hot spot that’s pulling all the right strings when it comes to mouth-watering southern comfort food served in an upscale setting. You can find this gem tucked away at the Perimeter Mall, sandwiched between the ever-popular Maggiano’s and Shake Shack. Talk about a prime spot!
On December 8, Kitchen + Kocktails opened its doors to the public after a fabulous VIP reception the day before. The excitement in the air was tangible, and it seems like this place has always been part of the Atlanta dining scene! With a chef and owner like Kevin Kelley, who boasts 22 years as a successful attorney, it’s easy to see why. Kelley has not only earned his stripes in the courtroom with an impressive win record, but he’s also known for his refined tastes when it comes to food and drink.
“Hospitality is my passion,” Kelley said in a recent interview. “I love to serve people.” It turns out that he’s not just talking about dishing out delicious meals. As an attorney, Kelley has always been there for his clients during tough times, but in the world of hospitality, he’s found a new way to uplift people. “You get people celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or just looking for a brighter moment on a tough day.”
The gut punch of the pandemic didn’t deter Kelley when he opened his first restaurant in August 2020. Knowing the strain isolation was putting on our mental health, he aimed to provide a friendly gathering place where people could enjoy great food together. “It’s still service to me,” Kelley insists, blending his two professions with grace. “I’m always ready to give them a good meal and some company.”
The atmosphere at Kitchen + Kocktails is simply electric, thanks to a wonderful staff that enhances the dining experience. But let’s be honest, the real show-stoppers are the dishes served up! Kelly whips up a delightful array of southern classics that cater to every craving. Want something refreshing? The elegant Makers 46 Old Fashion cocktail served under a smoking dome is a fantastic choice. Or how about the D’usse Power Mule or the spicy Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita? Feeling adventurous? Try the Cotton Candy Cloud or the refreshing Rum Punch Plus+!
What drives Kelley in his culinary adventures? “I’ve been a customer too,” he shares. “I want the best of the best, both for myself and my customers.” With experience living abroad in Germany, France, and Spain, Kelley brings an international flair to the restaurant’s menu while focusing on satisfying comfort food. His mission? “I don’t serve customers anything I wouldn’t want to serve my mom.” How heartwarming is that?
If Atlanta is on your radar, be sure to pencil in a visit to Kitchen + Kocktails. It’s a food lover’s dream come true! With an excellent atmosphere, killer cuisine, and plans for future growth throughout the U.S., this restaurant is fast-forwarding into the hearts of locals and visitors alike.
