Kindred, the new restaurant inside Bay View’s Kinn micro-hotel, quietly opened its doors to the public on Sunday, March 5.

Last week, we gave you a preview of the restaurant’s interior, which offers casually elegant digs that mix both modern and rustic elements. And this weekend, during the restaurant’s soft opening, we got a peek at the menu which is replete with globally inspired dishes created by Chef Nathan Rader.

Among the restaurant’s shareable plates, you’ll find a diverse collection of dishes, many of which are vegetarian or gluten free.

Lebanese pommes frites are served with fresh lime, cilantro and Fresno chilis and sprinkled with za’atar, a classic blend of spices including tangy sumac, thyme, sesame seeds and salt ($7).

Lamb crepinette includes fontina stuffed lamb meatballs served up in a flavorful tomato sauce with Oregon black truffles and sage ($11).

Vegetarian options include warm Chioggia beets served with golden raisin puree, goat cheese mousse and toasted fenugreek ($9); Edam croquettes with baby leeks, chokeberry jam and smoked buttermilk dressing ($9) and parsnip gnocchi with shaved parmesan and toasted sage panko ($9).

There’s also piri piri chicken featuring a crisp gluten-free chicken leg served atop charred scallion whipped potatoes with house pepperoncini ($12).

If you prefer entrees, the menu includes standards like a burger with Wisconsin aged cheddar, pickled chiles, tobacco onions and garlic aoili ($13); braised shortribs with Cashmere Hammer stout braised ribs served with Manchego polenta and amaranth greens ($21); and an oven-roasted pork chop with tempura maitake mushrooms, cauliflower puree and chokeberry reduction ($25).

There’s also made-to-order filet served up with sweet potato steak fries and gremolata grilled globe artichokes with a verjus rouge reduction ($19).

Meanwhile, seared striped bass comes atop caramelized carrot puree with grilled white asparagus and red miso beurre noisette ($23).

On the sweeter side, there is dark chocolate budino (custard) with candied Marcona almonds and vanilla bean poached cara cara orange segments ($5) or gingerbread cake served up in the style of bread pudding, topped with hazelnut toffee and chantilly cream ($7).

If you prefer, you can order up freshly made cinnamon sugar crullers which are served with Stone Creek coffee creme anglais ($7).

Kindred will offer daily specials, including Tuesday burger night featuring a burger and draft beer for $14, Wednesday date night featuring a small plate and featured entree for two with dessert for $40 and Thursday night artist night during which guests are invited to share their artistic talents on the bar’s chalkboard wall.

Happy hour will take place Tuesday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. featuring $2 off house cocktails and draft beer along with $5 Lebanese fries, $7 duck confit flatbread and $9 lamb meatballs or lemongrass mussels. In the coming weeks, Kindred will also begin serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.

Kindred is open Tuesdays from 4 to 9 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 5 to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 5 to 9 p.m. The bar will be open later.
