The take
Husband-and-wife owned since 2015, with a seasonal menu built around Carolina Piedmont produce; it put the Lake Norman day-trip on Charlotte's food map.
What to order: Whatever else you do, order the milk bread — it's the pillowy loaf that made Kindred famous — then the crispy oysters.
Questions people ask
How do I book a table?
Through Resy — Kindred's own site hands reservations off there rather than taking them itself.
