From the moment you walk down the red-lit hallway into the underground world of Kittyhawk, you know you're in for something special. The space is moody and atmospheric, with dimmed lighting and a buzzing energy that perfectly sets the tone for the night. The waitstaff were attentive without being overbearing, friendly, fast, and knowledgeable about the menu. Speaking of the menu, the food was absolutely on point. The standout for me was the carrot dish, proof that simple ingredients, when done well, can be unforgettable. Every bite was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The drinks list is extensive and impressive, with something for every palate. Whether you're into classic cocktails or more adventurous sips, you'll find plenty to love. Yes, it gets loud when the DJ starts spinning, but the vibe is electric and the music is curated perfectly. It’s never too loud to hold a conversation, just loud enough to make you want to stay longer, order another drink, and soak it all in. Highly recommend for a night out with friends or a cool date spot. Kittyhawk nails it.

Kittyhawk is such an exciting place to host your wedding. Bobby and I have have been working as wedding photographers together for over a decade and we couldn't get over the energy that Kittyhawk infuses into a wedding celebration. The venue has an exuberant heartbeat which filters through into the mood of the entire celebration. There's an abundance of hotels close by for you and your parter to get ready at and Kittyhawk itself has the space to host both your ceremony and reception all under the same roof. There's a plethora of locations all within walking distance for your portraits which means you will back celebrating with your guests before you know it. Fiona, Jason and the rest of the Kittyhawk team will look after you so well in the lead up to the day. If you are looking for a space that several buckets worth of personality and is close to so many facilities for your day, then this will definitely tickle your fancy.

We loved it! Went with some gfs and we have a really good time. DJ keeps playing really good hiphop tunes from the 90s and honestly the food was amazing too. Ps: there's a disco light room in the girls bathrooms.

We booked a table for a bday -8pp and asked to extend our time since the place wasn’t busy. The manager was extremely rude and unprofessional, he didn’t offer any option for us to stay, even though we’re a group of 8 all actively ordering. We ended up moving to another bar where we spent the rest of the night. The venue has potential, but the poor hospitality really ruined the experience.
Camilo Franco
Terrible service! The manager was extremely arrogant, saying things like, “Let me explain how a restaurant works!” We were interrupted four times by the staff, reminding us there was another reservation right after ours — and that started just five minutes after we arrived. We came during happy hour, but they still tried to charge us full price. Also, be aware: some drinks can cost double the listed menu price because their recipes include two shots. The food was good, but if you’re looking for great food and a pleasant experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this place. Replying to the restaurant answer: First of all, we arrived 15 minutes late, which had already been accepted when we made the reservation. Secondly, I never called anyone a liar — now you’re the ones twisting the story. What really upset me was that just five minutes after we sat down, a staff member came to our table to warn us about the next reservation, and then returned multiple times after that. No one would feel comfortable being pressured like that. Thirdly, we reserved the table for 10 because we had no intention of ordering mains. Your restaurant requires groups larger than 10 to pay $75 per person, and our plan was just to have drinks and some snacks — mains were never ordered. So if anyone is lying here, it’s not us.
