Most amazing crab and artichoke dip! New item they have is a bao taco with great flavored beef. The garlic bread is a must sometimes you have to ask for it my best tip is sit at the bar, great service good view.

I had an exemplary meal at Kincaid.
The attention to my gluten free requirements was extraordinary. Our server Paula (I believe that’s her name!) went above and beyond to ensure everything was safe, and consistently double checked each item. She was also just lovely and kind in general.
The food was fresh, flavorful, and the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. Located along Redondo Beach Pier, we were able to watch the waves as we ate, which made it an even nicer experience.
Definitely recommend!

Wonderful staff, delicious food and once the Chef heard that it was our honeymoon, he sent us two glasses of champagne 🍾. Very thoughtful and appreciated!!!!

Usually, it’s been very good. Lovely ambience, seeing the waves crash. Food was quite consistently good in the past but had a not so good experience with our orders, food and service this last time. But in their favor was that the manager Chris (I believe) did come and made sure all issues were resolved. It’s my go to when meeting with a friend so am not ready to let it go.

Oh, how sad this place is going down hill! I grew up in the Valley and everyone talked about how wonderful Kinkaid's was. I finally took my wife a little over a year ago, and it was still amazing. We went another time, and it was still good.
Sadly, we went this past Saturday and were very disappointed with the atmosphere and the service. Let me start by saying, I thought the prime rib was the best I've ever had, and I thought Houston's was amazing! Especially since my wife gets hers prepared medium well - it's hard to make that still tender and juicy. For the, Kinkaid's gets an "A." My wife thought their New York cheesecake was the best she's ever had! I thought it was amazing too, but I still like Cheesecake Factory's better.
Now, the sad news. Their clam chowder isn't as good. They are skimping on the bacon in it.
But unfortunately it gets worse. First, the service. We've had better servers at Denny's. When your server isn't attentive, and then acts annoyed when you ask them for something - that shouldn't happen, especially at a fine restaurant. If they're going to charge almost $6 for a small glass of fountain soda, they better bring another when they see your glass empty, and definitely not make you feel bad for having to ask for a refill. Our server didn't bring refills until asked, acted annoyed when asked, (remember, these are small glasses) and eventually she took away my glass!
At the end of the dinner when it's time to pay, she tried to sell us a loyalty card. That was low-end to us!
I actually don't have an answer to this one, but in addition to a screaming child, one couple was letting their two small children literally run around the restaurant. Sorry, but that's not fine dining to me.
Combine the fact that at one point the restaurant smelled so strong of old fish (and marijuana) - while I was eating my cheesecake, we probably will never go back. When you're paying that much for dinner, and it's not a good experience, you can just go somewhere else - like Houston's!
