Kinglet

Best dining experience I have ever had! I have nothing but positive things to say about Kinglet. The entire staff was extremely knowledgeable about the food and wine, had great personality, and the atmosphere was fantastic. 10/10 recommended doing the chef's tasting menu.

Just to “set the table,” this restaurant is a little pricey. However, the service is exceptional. We actually tipped above the mandatory service charge already at 20%. But the staff were way above normal in knowledge, service, and friendliness. The place is spotless. Great ambiance and lighting. My wife had a blueberry margarita and it was very good. I had scotch based drink called the Station 41. It was great. We did the five course chef service and enjoyed everything. Some of the best food we’ve had in a while when dining out. Easily the best meal and restaurant in Walla Walla, and we’ve been to almost every place here over the years. I include pictures of each serving. I would highly recommend this restaurant and it’s my go to for future engagements. The last photo is of one of their extraordinary burgers. They were filming for a show “Wine-O” while we were there so go catch that episode.

World-class dining experience. We had the 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings for each course. Neither disappointed. Every course was very good, and some were really excellent (especially the perfectly seared scallop with a perfect sauce to accompany it). The wine with each course paired very well, and were all interesting in the best way. Service was very good, and the atmosphere was really nice. This place well deserves the 5 star rating.

GO EAT HERE. Stop what you’re doing and make a reservation. I’ll wait.

Now that you’re back, consider the menu. It has a lot of influence from cuisines around the world. Ethiopian inspired kitfo tartare - so soft and savory with little minced preserved apples! The injera they made into little chips - interesting take on it.

Try all their canapés - we got a “churro” that was more like a little hush puppy pocket of aged chees goodness with a cute fuzzy cheese fur and lime over.

Their wagyu beef tenderloin was insanely good - medium rare - and the chicken we found out is super fresh - processed only 4 hours prior to arrival to the restaurant.

Drinks were good too.

Pro tip: if you sit at the bar, there’s less of a wait. If you ask for June, you’ll have a grand ol’ time.

I can’t wait to try all their food and experience the chef table!

My partner and I had the 5 course blind tasting menu along with the wine pairing. I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best meal I've had in my life! Each dish was unique and delicious. The staff was attentive and educated us on each dish and corresponding wine. Despite having a car crash into their kitchen recently, they are back and on top of their game.
