We wanted you to hear it from us first! After years on Monroe Street, Kettle Black Kitchen is now closed.
This is not an ending. It's the moment we've been building toward.
begonia. is our next chapter. The restaurant we have always dreamed of.
We are closing for a short while to reimagine the space: bolder, more beautiful, and built for the kinds of nights you'll want to linger over. When we reopen, you'll find a modern latin menu full of unexpected flavors and dishes that stop you mid-bite, a full where the drinks are as thoughtfully considered as the food, and the same faces who've been taking care of you all along.
And if you want to follow what's cooming next, stay close. We'll be sharing the journey as begonia. takes shape: the space, the menu, why the name matters to us, and the story behind it all.
Thank you for being a part of this chapter. We can't wait to welcome you in to the next one.
With garitude,
Sara Anderson, Chef Christopher Lund, & The Kettle Black Team
