Say hello to Alvaro, our Lead Steak Chef and one of the longest-standing parts of Kinzie itself.⁠

A look back at the private events showcase we hosted at Kinzie last week.⁠
⁠
Every space showed its personality – from smaller, tucked-away rooms to larger spaces that fill with energy, each setting was designed to feel personal, flexible, and easy to make your own. Great food, drink, and service always included.⁠

If you have something to celebrate this spring, we’d love to host it your way. [email protected]

Filoxenia means "love of the stranger" in Greek. It's the belief that a guest should be welcomed with generosity, warmth, and respect. This value runs deep in our owner's heritage, and it lives in the way we greet you at the door, treat you like family, and remember your name the next time you visit.
