Food was delicious. Service was friendly. The wait staff missed an item we order but corrected the oversight quickly. Went to celebrate a birthday. Received a chocolate brownie cake, with candle for the birthday guest. I will return.

We have been here a few times .. absolutely love their food and the atmosphere. No matter what we've tried, it's been delicious! Love KBs! :)

As Whitby natives we have been to KB a handful of times now. The service is always top notch. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We actually had a chance to sit down for a drink with Kevin one evening and get to know who is behind everything.

The food at KB is definitely in the upper tier of Durham region. We recommend the duck liver plate. Delicious.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and service at KB.
First off the waiter was just amazing. So accommodating and personable. His recommendations were spot on for us and we bantered back and forth like we were old friends.we will come back just for the service alone.
I ordered tuna tartare, bone marrow and then finished with the Venison rib eye. My wife ordered braised pork belly. I can... more

Love this place. Been once with my boyfriend and once with my family, everything was excellent both times. The wait staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is incredible. Will definitely be going back in the future.

Wow! The food was amazing. Delicious meals made with local ingredients with an ever changing menu. Dessert was to die for. Excellent service, our waiter was excellent and the staff was very friendly

It would be difficult to recommend KB on the strength of a particular dish - I've never seen a menu that changes so often! However, because they make the effort to change the menu to suit the produce and meat available, you're probably going to enjoy whatever dish you do order.

The restaurant is very central to downtown Whitby and I've never had an issue finding parking. The interior is a bit... more

My boyfriend and I came back here for valentines day dinner. When I made a reservation online, within an hour someone had called to let me know they were doing three seatings on valentines day, 5pm, 7pm and 9pm and was I okay with the 7PM instead of the specific time I'd asked for. All was good and I got another confirmation email a day or two before.

I've always liked KB but this was one... more

Not impressed. Burger tasteless. Waiter did not bring my change back. 8$ on a $31 meal is a bit much. Great drinks, maple whiskey sour, good coffee and desserts which were too pretty to destroy. Great staff. great atmosphere but the menu and food was disappointing. Very clean and cheerful.

I don't visit Whitby often. Usually I am here because my camera has some issue and I need to bring it in for factory warranty work. For every time I am in the neighbourhood, I always try to go to a "new" restaurant I never been with recommendation from my Yelp App. So that's how I ended up at KB.

For lunch you can either order from the Main menu or their limited lunch menu with a sandwich for... more

I have been here once so far. I was offered a cocktail and was not carded(I am underage), it was great for me but not so smart on their part. My friend and I were quite full after our appetizer of arancini and soup. The server had no problem allowing us to share an entree. He was extremely kind and professional. I did see a spider on the wall. Most people are very frightened by them but I put... more

Great food and selection went for a business meeting and had a great meal. Had the burger with fries. KB is a welcome addition to our downtown core

We had been wanting to go here for a while as it came highly recommended by friends. We decided to take a chance. Do not go here without reservations. We did tonight and we were placed at the hightop table right by the bar. The large overhead TV flashing down on our table playing the food network. The phone ringing behind us the server having to pass by to grab cutlery..all annoying. But even... more

Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday. Great food, good wine, excellent service - I will definitely be back. Love that the menu constantly changes to feature seasonal/local ingredients! And that they have options for vegetarians :)

I have eaten at KB a few times while in the Durham region. Everything I tried was better than expected! Duck liver pate, burger, chicken tacos were all delicious! Overall, pleasantly surprised by everything they have to offer, from food to service. Definitely worth checking out!

I like this place, and I think I will go back again to try their dinner. We passed by this place on our way back to Toronto last weekend after seeing a small field of lavender. It is located in the Whitby downtown. There are parking on the street or parking lots inside the small streets near the restaurant. We went there for lunch, and the restaurant is clean and bright. The atmosphere in the... more

Great place for a casual lunch/dinner

I was not sure what to expect, found it on yelp. I was glad to find out that the chef was formally from The Burbs, that was a great restaurant. It is a "local" food restaurant, the menu changes constantly and has some very different options, as well as more standard options, I had a stuffed bores belly, delicious! I... more

Creative Grown Up Menu, Childish Decor

First time at KB and was very impressed with the menu and the food we ordered. Apps and main were delicious with a good selection of wine. Prices reasonable. However, what is up with that horrible wall murale? It's childish and doesn't match the food theme or adult menu. My friend also found the murale offensive with the happy animals... more

Wowie

This is by far the best Restaurant we have eaten at in Whitby. The food selection and quality, service and dollars value is amazing. We had the Angus steak and the chicken which were both amazing. Very relaxing place. Make a reservation.

This is one of my favourite restaurants to open out in Durham Region, for their chicken liver pate alone.

Great catering to gluten free clientele, the food is always so fresh and a great selection from boar to rabbit to veal, etc. Even the vegetables, so often a forgotten side, are bursting with flavour. I could eat a plate over their beets alone.

Fantastic wait staff too!

Great evening dining experience

This was my first visit and it was a wonderful experience. We were not rushed and our server gave us plenty of time to catch up with each other before taking our orders but was around if we needed her. The food was excellent. We sampled each others food and I tried venison for the first time. Only word of... more

Excellent diner experience

This was our first visit to KB, the "new to us" restaurant from chef Kevin Brown. The location in old downtown Whitby was easily accessible with street parking on two sides. The ambiance was very pleasant and the staff was with us immediately giving us the rundown of the place. The menu is changed weekly to daily and featured many... more

Excellent place to dine

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday earlier this week. This was the first time we had been to this restaurant. I never knew such a place existed in Whitby. This restaurant is fabulous. The food was wonderful from start to finish; the ambience was perfect; and the service was remarkable. Our meal for the two of us including... more

Hands Down Best in Durham

I have now eaten at KB four times, and have literally enjoyed every single bite. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and their Thursday wine special is terrific. Chef Kevin Brown makes painstaking efforts to make almost everything in-house, even desserts. And, though a chef of his skill may not want to be remembered for a burger, his, with house-made... more

Overall great experience. One of the best restaurants in Durham.

One of the best dinner options in the GTA

I was quite surprised at the quality of the meal at KB Food. The menu is quite unique, and everything is made with good quality ingredients. There seems to be no processed foods anywhere other than sugars used in the desserts. While a bit louder than I'd have liked, the food is more than enough to make up for the... more

A real Whitby gem - we can't stop going

An incredibly unique and enjoyable dining experience. The menu changes weekly - sometimes daily - based on the availability of the locally sourced food this place is known for. We have been a dozen times and never had the same thing twice - all of it has been pretty superior to anything around here. Great wine selection (as always we... more

Unbelievable Food and Service

Our first time trying KB and we were so surprised to find that Durham actually has an amazing fine dining experience!! Food was so fresh and delicious! Staff were incredible!! We will be back and bringing our friends!

Outstanding meal and service

By far becoming our favorite dinning and relaxing establishments. Last nights experience like the week before was terrific again for me and my wife. The very pleasant welcome when we arrived from Jeremy followed by a friendly hello and great bar and food ordering service from Amanda this place keeps getting better. Tonight my wife had the skirt steak and... more

Pros: Very central location and great ambience. Wait staff seemed very knowledgeable about the wine.

Cons: food is well done but bland. It seems ideal for the white buffet crowd. I had the flat iron steak, crab cake appetizers and my wife had the beef short rib. Food was well done and well presented just bland. Seems like they missed a great opportunity.

Physically it is very small so even... more

Great food, friendly staff, value for money

My husband and I went there last night and were very impressed. We were asked if it was our first time there and my husband jokingly asked for a grand tour. They happily walked us through the kitchen where Kevin brown was smiling and cooking away. Nice touch! Had the trio of appy's with amazing duck liver, I had wild... more

I came here with a group of people celebrating a birthday. The location is out of my way (about 30-40minutes), but the food, atmosphere and service makes up for it!
I do spend some of my time in the Durham region, and knowing that there is a small and classy restaurant along the way makes it better.

Most of the items on the menu is locally grown and in-season"game meat" (Elk, rabbit etc),... more

Don't be fooled

Although they promote this restaurant as preparing all their dishes from scratch and knowing all of their ingredient this was not my experience. When I made my reservations I informed them of my dietary restriction (dairy and soy) and they enthusiastically assured me that they could accommodate. When we arrived I again informed my server who said no problem we... more

Holy ****, amazing experience

After several of our friends went, and one friend in particular we think has moved in to KB's (lol), we decided to go Valentine's weekend for the Sunday roast. The app selection is amazing. We had the lobster arancini, I would sell my soul for more of those! We both had the roast which came with a choice of salad;... more

Who knew Whitby could be so cool

This appears to be a very trending restaurant with a strong and growing reputation. The night we went there was a very enthusiastic crowd that crossed all demographics from young couples to families to those who have a lengthy experience in sampling what the world has to offer.
The service was attentive and friendly and very helpful in steering us... more

Everything was excellent

I went to KB last night with my sister and friend who had been several times before and loved it. First impression walking in was that the atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly. I had a hard time choosing from the menu because everything looked amazing and since the menu changes frequently I didn't want to miss out... more

My first Farm-to-Table restaurant that was highly recommended by a friend. Sometimes 'highly recommended' means 'if you don't go, I will drag you.'

Well, FINE then.

I headed there after work. Traffic was fabulous, as usual, so I was starving when I arrived and my mom was super impressed how late I was. Needless to say, an appetizer was in order! Burbs Bruschetta was our selection. Little... more

The food at KB's is the best part of the restaurant. They have a lot of locally grown food - meat and vegetables. The atmosphere is a casual setting with very professional staff. The server really knew the menu well and could tell us where the food came from which was very cool.

I stepped out a bit and tried the Maple Smoked Cheddar ( $7 )with home made crostini. Then a burger with cheese and... more

Not Bad

I read the reviews and was very excited to visit this place- I have to admit I was underwhelmed. I went here for Whitbylicious with my mom- I ordered the brie crostini with squash and bacon, the pastured heritage beef with dumplings and the chocolate red wine budino. The app was tasty, I wouldn't say it was a crostini as... more

Excellent Top End Restaurant

This restaurant is only a year or so old but has become popular very quickly. The menu is adventurous without leaving the more conservative tastes out. Try drinking sherry through a marrow bone!! he wine selection is excellent and the staff very knowledgeable and helpful. It has a lively, friendly atmosphere. Definitely reserve in advance.

Oustanding

My wife treated me to a cooking demonstration at KB on a Monday night when the restaurant is normally closed. They do this monthly and there were a number of regulars in the crowd. They added a second demo night due to high demand. Our group was consisted of 25 diners while the first evening had 52.
The menu for... more

A hidden gem! What can I say...great food, great variety of food, great staff, and nice dining environment.

The variety of food and regular changing menu are my favourite things about KB's. The staff are excellent and well-versed on their changing menu items.

Great place to take friends and family for a nice night out...definitely a must try and definitely a hidden gem..

Hands down, the Best restaurant I've ever been to.

Being a somewhat picky eater, I am typically hesitant to try unknown items on a menu, however after my first dining experience at KB's I discovered a new found desire to always try something I would never normally try, but only at KB's. Not only am I pleasantly surprised time and time again, but I find myself anticipating their new menu each... more

Farmer's market meets gourmet dining

The food at KB is absolutely outstanding. With their locally grown veggies (and meat, I believe), ever-changing menu and impressive wine list, KB is definitely somewhere you have to try. Would be an awesome atmosphere for a small wedding too. Definite two thumbs up!

New fall menu with spunk

Great dinner tonight with great mushroom theme available. My wife had a tasty trout fiket with squash abd purple potatoes. I had venison oso buca that was great with mashed and a variety if mushrooms.

Excellent brunch

My husband and I stopped in here after being turned away due to line-ups at another nearby spot for Sunday brunch. We were so glad! The food was amazing and the service was great as well. Not sure what everyone was doing up the road. This place was much quieter and the food was so much better. Service was quick... more

Fabulous meal

We visited KB for the first time on Nov 2/13 and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Casual atmoshpere, not too noisy, but you could tell people were having a good time. The wait staff were friendly, entertaining and knowledgable. The food was absolutely delicious. The lamb shank with thai curry was extremely flavourful and tender - falling off the shank! The... more

Enjoyed

Somewhat sceptical based on other reviews which were varied. Roasted marrow bones & duck pâté excellent. Wife loved her roasted romaine salad. My rib chop was very good but vegetables were somewhat overdone! We will go back!

Thanksgiving Dinner - no problem

I recently broke 3 vertebrae in my back so when KB sent an email offering to prepare my Thanksgiving Dinner, I jumped at it. I had previously taken cooking classes at their previous location in Pickering, so I knew the quality of food was excellent. I picked it up on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. as previously arranged. The food was... more

Just okay

Perhaps our expectations were too high going in (I had heard such good things from other people), but we found our experience here to be pretty average. Some high points on the menu -beef brisket, arancini (risotto balls) - but some low as well: the tuna was not properly cooked (too well done) and the unusual choice of sauce for... more

Nice diningspot downtown whitby

Really enjoyed the meal, the starters we tried were the daily soup which was very nice and the grilled salad which was very tasty. Beef medallions wrapped in bacon were cooked to perfection and served with roasted potato. The chicken with mashed potato was also enjoyed by our table mate. The menu changes regularly as chef Kevin Brown looks for... more

Finally some tasty food

Walked past a few times but after it was recommended by a chef acquaintance decided to try, I was not disappointed...the menu changes every three to five days and is built from local fare, I chose the chicken breast in peach reduction with pickled pink beets, purple potatoes and rapinni it was delicious. My husband had the tomato salad and... more

Mobile review

Fabulous Food

My real rating is 3.5/5 but I'm rounding up because I'm all for local restaurants opening up in Whitby. There is a serious lack of original and local restaurants in our town and everyone should check out KB - it's definitely worth checking out. Considering the menu changes with what's in season I'm judging mainly on service, decor and price point.

I ordered the Burrata cheese appetizer ($10)... more

Not sure what to title this... A mixed review

My partner had been dying to go once she discovered a "nice resto" in Whitby. Thursday evening fairly early. Seated in the kitchen pathway despite many nicer open tables. I mention because we weren't given a choice, but everyone who walked in later was asked and given nicer spots. I get regulars deserve attention but it didnt appear they had... more

Creative and inspirational

I have had the opportunity to enjoy KB four times in the last two months and every visit was amazing.
I love creative food that surprises the pallet and KB delivers in this area. So many restaurants in Durham Region are predictable and unimaginative.
KB has a menu of interesting items that is continuously evolving. There is always something new... more

Whats with the chicken in the car mural

Well it was eclectic as described, I tried the bone marrow which was a bone cut in half and roasted for $10. The crustini that accompanied it was stale...oh well. The rest of the food was thoughtfully prepared. We both had steaks. The booth bench seemed as home made as the food. I wouldn't think to have expensive wines sitting... more

Nice comfortable atmoshere, and well made real food

Came at the suggestion of a favorite server at another local restaurant.
It was around 10pm and was offered their small bite menu.
Totally enjoyed my meal, and the excellent server who was so easy going and professional.
Looking forward to my next visit!
Many thanks,
Alex :)

Very happy

Went because they provided a gift certificate for a charity golf tournament. One of us is gluten intolerant...no problem. Waiter was knowledgeable bout the menu and the wine list Service was very good and so was food.
Went back for a late lunch/early dinner. We were the only ones there. Very accommodating and made us feel welcomed, even though it... more

*WHITBYLICIOUS REVIEW*

While Torontonians scrambled around to secure reservations during the Summerlicious craze, I decided to take a short drive East to check out Whitbylicious - who can say no to free parking?

This year's Whitbylicious featured prix fixe menus from 9 restaurants. Downtown Whitby is actually quaint but you can find a handful of amazing restaurants all within walking... more

End of holiday out

Delicious. Decided to stop in and am glad we did. This restaurant uses local items and the menu changes based on the availability of the ingredient. Whitbylicious menu items were part of this weeks choices and I chose these items while my partner order off the menu. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning.

Great experience!

The food was amazing! Fresh, tasty, and unique! The service was friendly as well. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Very beautiful and welcoming. I would definitely return, and recommend this place to others.

I ordered a steak dinner here. The chef is great, its clear he knows how to cook but the cut of meat they used wasn't great and definitely not worth the price.

Tonight we ate Italiano type food

I ordered the veal which was a nice large portion of the nicest battered veal I have had in a while. My wife had the homemade pasta special which she loved right up to the last bite. My only disappointment was forgetting my take out piece of veal as it was very filling :-(.
The service was spot on again... more

Trust the Chef

I have been to Kb on numerous occasions........none to date have disappointed. Kevin Brown has been part of the culinary world for many years and it would seem that his first project. " Burbs Bistro" was a dress rehearsal for Kb. We tend to "graze" when we dine out meaning we rarely, if ever order entrees which allows us to... more

Amazing food, excellent service, reasonably priced

Loved our meals at KB! Ever since cheff K moved from The Burbs Bistro in Pickering and opened his own place, we have been going there for family celebrations and special meals. You will love everything about this place. Check them out on Facebook too - they post cooking class announcements and other interesting food and wine stuff.

Awesome

After a friend recommended this restaurant to me, my fiance and I tried it out and we loved it! The first thing I loved: they took a reservation on a Friday night - that is rare.
We started with the maple smoked cheddar, and olive bread as an appetizer, although I do think the bread should be complementary. Both were... more

Best burger for a non burger joint

Travellers and locals you must add KB to your list of very good restaurants to visit. I have been enjoying eating at as many restaurants that I can locally and when I travel.
I paid an overdue visit the other day for lunch and decided to try the burger. This burger was cooked perfect with juice, flavour with a wonderful... more

Interesting Food

I have been a few times to this restaurant. It's great to finally have innovative and interesting food options - instead of the same ol' fare that most other places serve. Kudos to the chef.

Great restaurant. Friendly, happy staff enjoy their jobs. Menu changes frequently with seasonal ingredients. Chef's love of food is apparent in his menu! I would recommend this restaurant to anybody!

Yummy but they ran out of food

Went here with friends at a 7pm reservation. Many of their dishes were already sold out? They should plan better regarding having enough food for a busy Saturday night.
The food was good, but upset that 2 main dishes were completely sold out at such an early time of the night. I have never experienced this before for such an... more

Visitors and locals must eat here

Just completed our starters of homemade duck pate along with dubliner cheese and salami. The flavors complimented the local organic draft beer.
I am now torn between the mixed grill or lamb shank yet a 3rd great sounding burger.
Folks the staff, owner and chefs are top notch and the friendly professional service keeps us coming back.
If you appreciate... more

Disappointed

We have eaten here three times in order to give it a fair shake. The first time we just had appetizers and were enthused about the menu, service, atmosphere etc....great music btw.
The second time was for breakfast: very disappointing and way to expensive. My eggs benedict were cold and when I told the waitress when she asked how I... more

A very average meal

Having had several good meals at Chef Kevin Brown's former restaruant (The Burbs in Pickering) and reading about his locavore vision for KB, we were expecting an interesting and tasty meal. Unfortunately, it was far from memorable.
The KB website talks about the importance of beverages. On seating, we were told we could have anything we wanted, so we went... more

Consistently delicious

I have eaten here at least twice a month since they opened and have never been disappointed. The menu is creative, changes constantly (with certain staples like the beets and pickles remaining on the menu, thankfully) and the desserts are good too. We often just order many small plates to share and skip the main so we can try as... more

KB - another great meal

This is the second time I have been there in the last month and have not been disappointed. I met a friend for lunch and we enjoyed a chicken panini sandwich ( stuffed with chicken) with hand cut Yukon frites, along with their grilled romaine salad with their in house made ricotta cheese and smoked bacon garnish. The 2 year... more

Good food from a trusted chef

Kevin Brown has opened a new restaurant in Whitby. Very good food, innovative, reasonably priced. Went for lunch twice and the first time wait staff were not knowledgable about wine, however I'm sure that if we had called for Kevin, whom we talked to after the meal, would have been helpful.

A Great Place for a Birthday Celebration

This new restaurant has a good location, fun atmosphere and delicious food. We took part in the 3 course Whitbylicious menu, which offered a good selection of appetizers, mains and desserts. The mushroom soup was hearty and the grilled romaine salad, with their own ricotta, were delicious. We both had the Arctic char in a limoncello sauce, garnished with heirloom... more

Fresh local food with great service

I take for granite some of the fantastic food at Kb. Folks if you like chicken liver pate it is by far the best I have ever had and the tuna rilettes are to die for. All you need is the friendly staff, great service and fine cocktails and KB does all of this and more.
The chef uses as... more

Excellent Food

After visiting KB for a couple of drinks and some appetizers with buds, I decided to book a reservation with a large group of friends and our wives to really peruse the menu....thankfully!
The menu is almost set up as tapas, so we treated it as so. We ordered almost every item on the menu and it was amazing! The... more

Kb

Went with friends this past Saturday night to Kb and arrived to a packed restaurant. We sat at the bar while waiting for a table. Didn't mind this at all, the bartender was knowledgable about the wine list, offered up wonderful suggestions and answered questions about the menu. She knew how to make a excellent gin martini. When we were... more

This restaurant is a little hidden gem. Followed them from the Burb's in Pickering.

Casual dining.

The food is excellent with a regularly changing menu.

The staff is friendly.

We enjoyed two great Friday night meals at this very nice restaurant with top notch quality menu choices and friendly staff.
The homemade liver pate is my suggestion to start with along with one of the many cheese choices
