Food scene
Hello, Sailor
20210 Henderson RdGood Restaurant on Lake Norman with a view
Kindred is the result of a chef-and-sommelier, husband-and-wife pair (Joe and Katy Kindred) who met in Chicago, spent years working in top-notch San Francisco restaurants, and then settled in his hometown to open a restaurant. The weekly menus — driven by the seasons — present a unique perspective on the contemporary cuisine of the new South, one that's influenced by the couple's travels abroad and fine dining experience. Reservation is required.
