Kindred in San Diego

The sound track and vibe of Kindred is alt/metal, but it is a vegetarian restaurant - a bit unexpected.  We went for brunch and had a great meal.  I started with a cocktail called "Serpentine".  It was herbal and excellent  The bartenders are really good.  I watched two of them at work and they were diligent about measuring.  Making a good cocktail is just like cooking - measuring ingredients gives a better and more uniform result.  It was heart-warming! 

For a main course, I had the Warlock Bowl - a grain bowl with fresh herbs, roasted sweet potato, roasted Brussels sprouts and lots more.  The bowl came with a few lychee fruits.  This was an interesting sweet and fresh note in the bowl.  Very good.  My friend had the house Caesar and an order of the Charred Remains - roasted broccoli over herbed ricotta.

The brunch menu leans towards breakfast items.  We were there for lunch and found our options a bit limited.  However, the food, drinks and vibe were great.  The music was outstanding!  The restaurant is located in South Park.  We found on-street parking two blocks away.
