Kinsmith

Took my husband for his birthday. Everything was absolutely amazing. Food, Ambience and customer service. Heath was our waiter and he was exceptional. Awesome customer service. Paid attention to detail on what we were craving and made suggestions that pleased out pallets.

Last minute reservation with over 22 of my colleagues and they accommodated all guest. Shootout to Emily for her professionalism getting us seated and fed. The food was great. The Brown Butter Barbecue Shrimp where amazing. I had the Gulf Seafood Risotto for and entree. The restaurant is located in the Hotel Trilogy. The hotel looks amazing. Very contemporary boutique hotel. I can't wait to come back.

It's a beautifully decorated restaurant that is located inside the historical Murphy House that was built in 1851. If anything, you really need to see what the Trilogy Hotel has done to revitalize this space. Everything about this place just lures you in with their grand foyer leading you to the staircase. There is a full bar area to the right at the entrance, and the actual restaurant is near the staircase to the left. I wouldn't have known it was there, if not for the banner hanging from the mansion. I did glance over the dinner menu the first time I visited. It's a varied mix of southern with a little creole, but at a gourmet level. I was only in Montgomery for a short period of time. All I could do was try it for breakfast. If you're staying in the hotel on the weekend, then you may want to try their brunch. The Oxtail Benedict definitely caught my eye.

The breakfast menu is limited. It's a hotel restaurant, so keep that in mind. I initially wanted the Kinsmith Omelet that I've read about. They were out of the pimento cheese. I ended up getting the Steak and Eggs. Everything was cooked exactly the way I ordered it. The steak usually is the highlight, but it was the biscuits and housemade jams that were the star on this plate. I would have liked the steak more had it not been marinated. I think I wasn't in love with the red-eye gravy. Other than that, I was happy with the rest of it. It was a very well presented meal with a mushroom, onion, & spinach stir-fry, and fresh fruit. But those buttermilk biscuits with the strawberry jam that had a touch of mint & basil was what won me over. The service was good as well. I actually wish I had taken her recommendation to get the Alabama Breakfast (the most popular item) with the Conecuh sausage. That's what I'll get next time. I was also blown away by the fact that they gave me some samples of jams to take with me. That was so sweet! They were all great. They should sell & package all of the flavors for tourists like me.

I think it's cool that Marriott has two hotels housed within 3 historical buildings. I stayed at the SpringHill Suites which is next door to the Trilogy. The Trilogy (Autograph Collection) is more of a boutique hotel, but both have great historical architecture features and charm. It's in a historical area with lots of appeal. The breakfast at Kinsmith was good for a sit down meal versus a basic self-serve hotel breakfast. It's good to have both options in a Marriott property. I'd definitely revisit Kinsmith on my next trip to Montgomery.

Overall a Meh.

This is a hotel restaurant dressed up as a fine dining establishment. Their prices certainly reflect a four star establishment, of which this is not.

Nicely set up interior, and located inside the Trilogy hotel in downtown Montgomery, atmosphere is pretty good.

I ordered the dry aged house steak, which was very undercooked and pretty dull. My friend ordered the same and agreed on it being very average and underwhelming.

My wife had the cauliflower, which was decently good. Nothing here was bad, but then again nothing was memorable.

The appetizer we had was probably the best part of the meal, a filet lettuce wrap of some sort. Poorly slapped together but tasted pretty good.

The waiter didn't offer us dessert or a dessert menu at all.

I'm not saying to avoid it, but we probably won't go back anytime soon unless some changes are made.

Had brunch here with some friends and loved it. The atmosphere is beautiful. Very soothing, sophisticated decor with lots of natural light. The service was friendly and the food was nice. The best thing anyone got was the malted buttermilk pancakes. Those were awesome. I’d highly recommend. This is definitely a special occasion place that I look forward to coming back to. It’s probably the most beautifully decorated space in Montgomery.
