Part of The Fifty/50 Restaurant Group

Kindling features a custom-build 14' long wood-burning grill and rotisserie that serves as the hearth and the heart of the restaurant's main floor. The kitchen is led by Jonathon Sawyer, who won the Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes in 2015 for his work at The Greenhouse Tavern, Noodlecat, and Trentina in Cleveland. Most recently, Chef Sawyer oversaw the Four Season's Adorn Restaurant & Bar. Many of his restaurants centered around live-fire cooking.

The restaurant welcomes up to 500 Guests, with a second-floor terrace (3,000 sq ft) debuting in Summer 2023 along Adams Street. Kindling's three bars and craft cocktail program are overseen by The Fifty/50 Restaurant Group's Director of Beverage and Bar Operations, Julieta Campos.
