Cute small place In jersey city with amazing Vegetarian options Available. I ordered eggs Benedict and a side of bacon. Their brunch cocktails are good and Bloody Mary was spicy. Must try zucchini fries. The service is excellent. Reservations are preferred but we walked in and were lucky to get a table asap.
I had this place on my list for a while and was eager to give it a try. When I arrived I was able to find parking on the street nearby. I walked into a small, cute restaurant. I was greeted at the door and was able to find a seat at the bar. Ray was my bartender and he was super nice. I started with a couple of mimosas and they were good. For my meal I got the fish tacos. When they came out it looked good. When I dug in they were just ok. It needed a little more seasoning. My 4 stars goes mainly to the service, ambiance and mimosas.
Found this place via tik tok. Good to note that their menu is seasonal no less. Very unique drink flavors off of their spring drink menu. We were pleasantly surprised by the zucchini fries and would in fact recommend. The pork dish (pictured) was very tasty, however the macaroni and beef tartar were just okay. Service was excellent and outdoor greenhouse setup was quite cute.

I've been to the Kitchen Step a few times and every single time has been a wonderful experience. It was actually the first place I ate out again after I was vaccinated and it will forever hold a place in my heart for the consideration they put into their set up at that time. They had individual outside dining set ups with doors, heat lamps, and chandeliers. That kind of attention to detail really made the experience so much better.
Every employee I have met from the wait staff to the hosts to the managers have been so warm, kind, friendly, and helpful. They all elevate the meal because of how wonderful they are.
The food and drinks are obviously outstanding. Two favorites of mine are the biscuits & gravy and the RD burger. They are both full of flavor and delicious. I have a hard time ordering anything else because I just want to order one of those every single time. The crispy zucchini fries are so good that they never last that long on the table because everyone eats them immediately. I've also had a few of their salads and toasts which were all fantastic. You can't go wrong with anything you order. They also have a stable of great drinks but also seasonal ones that are amazing. I had the ecto cooler around Halloween that was bright green with a stay puft marshmallow rim that was so tasty and people around me kept asking what it was and ordering their own.
I highly recommend stopping by, you absolutely won't regret it!
This was my second time coming here for a weekend brunch. Although the portions are not large for an adult, the food's very good here. Ordered a Pancake ($17),a french toast ($15) and a zuchini fries ($13). A lemonade and two coffees. The total came out to be $68 w/ the tip for two adults and a child. The brunch cocktail looked great although it will set you back additional $10+ per. I would visit here again.
Ray made the experience spectacular for us. I came to Kitchen Step because I have previously dined there with a friend for brunch in one of the greenhouses & we had a delightful experience. I visited Kitchen Step again today with my mom to have a Mother's Day brunch, since I didn't get to see her on the actual holiday itself. Ray was so kind and exemplified the meaning of hospitality. He made the experience luxurious; we never heard the word 'no'. Our waiter was also attentive and kind. He was the tall gentleman with short black hair. The food was delicious! I had the eggs benedict and my mother had the scrambled eggs your way. We enjoyed tasty mimosas, Bloody Mary cocktails, as well as tea and coffee. I will be back!

Took a while to find parking because JC but eventually found street parking a block away.
This is the spot to try! We went on a Saturday morning around noon.
The ambiance of this restaurant is beautiful. It feels elevated and fancy but also casual and relaxed. It was well decorated and had accents that showed attention to detail. The outside dining area has fake grass walls that makes you forget you’re in a city and there are cute mirrors and cheeky posters. The staff is patient and friendly. They filled water as needed and paid attention to specific requests.
The mimosa had a good amount of alcohol. The zucchini fries were great to munch on, could barely tell there was a vegetable hidden in there, the dipping sauce was yummy. Could not finish between 2 people, they tasted good after I popped leftovers into my air fryer too. The eggs Benedict with Salmon was perfect, the combination of flavors and textures were excellent. The greens were seasoned and lemon juiced. The pancakes were crunchy on the outside and soft inside, it appears to have been one huge pancake cut into 4 pieces- very filling and could not finish, delicious taste. We were raving about how we wanted to compliment the chef because we were devouring masterpieces.
They remembered the surprise birthday dessert I asked for (options were fried dough balls with nutella, chocolate cake or strawberry shortcake). They brought the the dessert with a candle, and did not make an embarrassing scene. The strawberry shortcake was delicious and elegant.
Overall will highly recommend and would love to come back to share with more friends and to try more of the menu. Already shared my love for this restaurant on my Instagram story- I would want to eat here every week if I lived closer!
