At first glance, The Kennedy exudes the charm of a classic steakhouse. Rich wood paneling, vintage black-and-white photographs, black stamped-tin ceilings, and the soft glow of golden globe chandeliers create a sense of history. The wooden floors creak just enough to suggest generations of diners before you. The open-brick walls and picture windows onto Union Avenue on the side and Gay Street up front showcase the activity of downtown’s passing parade. But beyond its timeless aesthetic lies a dynamic menu and cocktail program that blend tradition with bold innovation. – N. Brooks Clark – Dining Out review May/June 2025 Cityview Magazine
