Discover Kindred
Hospitality with heart
The concept
Kindred is where the warmth of home meets the energy of a night out.
Our food begins with thoughtfully prepared meats and seafood, layered with globally influenced flavor and rooted in the comfort of dishes that feel familiar—even when they surprise you.
The room is warm and low-lit. Candles flicker against deep olive, wood, and aged brass. Music moves slowly. Service anticipates without hovering. Nothing asks you to hurry.
The Kindred experience
From the first welcome to the last bite.
Kindred is designed as an unhurried evening—warm, considered, and personal from the moment you arrive.

The first chapter
The First
Kindred Table
October 19, 2026 · Invitation only
Before Kindred finds its permanent home, we are setting the first table.
We are gathering the people who have encouraged us from the beginning for an intimate evening of thoughtful hospitality, meaningful conversation, and a seasonal multi-course dinner.
This private dinner is where the idea becomes an experience—the first real chapter of Kindred, shared around one table.

Meet the founder
Ciara Bradfield
Ciara Bradfield is the founder of Kindred Hospitality LLC, but her vision for Kindred began long before the business had a name. Through years spent working in restaurants, she fell in love with the thoughtful details that turn dinner into a meaningful experience—and met her partner, Taylor, along the way.
Inspired by Taylor’s cooking, their shared hospitality experience, and their dream of building something lasting for their family, Ciara began imagining a restaurant centered on connection. Kindred is her vision of a place where people can slow down, celebrate the people they love, and feel genuinely cared for from the moment they arrive.
“I want Kindred to be the kind of place where people can slow down, feel genuinely cared for, and leave knowing the evening mattered.”
Ciara Bradfield Founder, Kindred Hospitality LLC
Meet the executive chef
Taylor Urdiales
For Taylor, the food begins with the individual guest—not just the plate in front of them.
Taylor brings years of culinary experience, an instinctive understanding of flavor, and the calm precision of a chef who knows how to lead a kitchen through every moment of service.
As Executive Chef, he is shaping a menu centered on thoughtfully prepared meats and seafood, refined comfort, and globally influenced flavors—food that feels generous, memorable, and deeply considered.
“Every guest is different. The food should make each one feel like we thought about them.”
Taylor Urdiales Executive Chef, Kindred Hospitality

Always feel cared for
Service is attentive, intuitive, and sincere—polished without ever feeling cold.
Treat guests like they belong
Warmth matters as much as precision. Everyone who enters should feel welcomed in.
Every detail has intention
Food, light, music, table settings, timing, and service all tell one story.
