We went to Kitchen 919 with a large group of friends last night. First off, for those familiar with the old Orangery building, the transformation inside is astounding. Nice (but crowded) bar area, a little slow on service. The dining room is comfortable but very loud, with tables relatively close together. Everyone enjoyed the food -- good variety, lots of flavor. Highlights seemed to be the shrimp & grits, Brussels, Sea bass, filet, and lamb. My only complaint would be that most beef/lamb entrees were cooked beyond requested doneness, but that may have resulted from resting too long under heat while preparing meals for the rest of our party.
I think they will do well, but they really do need to work on the noise level. Prices and portions are very fair. Service was good, not great, but that's what I would expect with a recent opening.
