Always top notch cuisine. Tony and his guys are the best around. I wish we had date night every week. I try to get something different every time we are there and it’s always the best version of that dish I’ve ever had. Fine dining at its best right here in little ole Battle Creek,Mi. Great job to all!! See you again very soon. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Walleye Fillet

Great! Solid 4.6. Kelsey is top notch; knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, with great timing. The Smoked Gouda starter is a delicious spectacle that you should absolutely get. The Full Belly Wedge is a salad that can easily feed two, with the most tender and smoky/charred pork belly. The Cappelini is probably the best "spaghetti" you're gonna find in the area. Period. Atmosphere is dark but inviting with a great view of the kitchen and chefs, whom are awesome and do a phenomenal job. I'm looking forward to the rest of their menu. I could easily see myself returning (and I will) several times a year for a nice night out or special occasion. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Happened on this restaurant during our one night in town. Cream of mushroom soup was amazing! Crab cakes and meatball pasta main also very good. We split the main and crab cakes and each had soup so amount of food was not overwhelming. Great bourbon special cocktail. A very pleasant experience. Also appreciated the willingness on a busy night to find an alternate table when we were originally seated close to the door.

We made a happy and delicious discovery at Kitchen Proper after a 45 minute wait at another local restaurant sent us looking for something local, and quick. Even though we didn't have a reservation, we were seated quickly by the smiling and friendly hostess. They said the menu changes to utilize local products and we found wonderful, creative meals listed. First off, this is locally owned by a husband and wife team who were there that night cooking, serving and greeting customers. Secondly, EVERYTHING that we ordered was delicious, with large portions and reasonable prices. I love food, I love to cook and I'm hard to impress when it comes to restaurants. I. WAS. IMPRESSED. WITH. EVERYTHING. WE. ATE! I can't wait to visit Kitchen Proper again on my next visit to Battle Creek.

Lovely restaurant! We made reservations (would recommend, they were very busy) and we were seated in the back. Not a great seat, next to the restroom in the back with nothing to look at but a very narrow aisle so would recommend you ask to be put in the main area if at all possible instead of sequestered in the back. But given how busy they were, we figured any seat was better than none! The waitresses were a bit scattered (took a few minutes for someone to great us at the door, another few minutes for them to figure out where to seat us, but overall their attitude was kind and attentive once we had a seat). The whitefish dip was fantastic (the lovely theatrics of revealing it and releasing the smoke was appreciated) and our meals were truly delicious!! Drinks were decent, and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert was a great way to end our dinner. I don't travel to the area much, but am definitely planning to come again with guests in the future!!

The service was exceptional. That's about the best I can say. My mussels were not fresh. Had to send them back. The "local fish of the day" was a basic white fish. Tasteless, swimming in a watery bath of lemon, garlic and butter. Wish we had gone elsewhere. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

Went to celebrate birthdays with another couple. Food was excellent. Service during the meal was pretty good. Each couple split their own checks and paid with credit card. Once the server dropped off the credit card slips, she disappeared. The first thing I noticed was my credit card was with the other receipt, and vice-versa. No big deal, it happens. I filled out my slip, added on a tip and signed. It was then that I noticed my friend’s name at the bottom of the receipt. We double checked his receipt and our server had charged both meals to his credit card. We waited ~ 10 minutes for her to return, but never did. I was finally able to flag her down to get her attention to fix the problem. Just because you dropped off payment doesn’t mean you can ignore your table.

First time, not the last time. Had a duck n pasta dish (sorry, temporary menu item and don't recall exactly) but it was unbelievable! I'd get it again for sure. Had a bowl of Cream of Mushroom soup; very good BUT stick with a cup of it! With the dinner, I was literally too full. I should have taken some home perhaps. Good cocktails. Great first visit!

Lobster Mac sauce was bland, watered down, and overwhelmed with chunks of soft sundried tomatoes. The lobster was extremely chewy and void of flavor. Very disappointed for a $30+ entree. Would give this place another chance as it does appear to be very busy and popular in the area. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

this place made my first anniversary amazing! the server was super attentive, detailed in the menu descriptions, and friendly. I enjoyed my malbec, and the chicken Marsala was the best I’ve ever had. it may also be the best pasta dish I have eaten out. I loved everything about this place and can’t wait to come back.
