Doce Lunas is located in the heart of Kenwood. When you walk into Doce Lunas and sit, you’ll notice lots of interesting plates on the wall. For those who love collections, each plate is unique and you’ll find the collection quite enjoyable. There is patio dining available, and a number of seats in the dining room have a view of the open kitchen. Just above the kitchen wall is a blackboard listing the menu. This is especially difficult for older patrons, since there some seats require you to strain to properly see the menu. I visited Doce Lunas for brunch.

- Chicken teriyaki – The chicken teriyaki was nicely presented over rice accompanied with vegetables in a black iron pan. The chicken, though tender, didn’t have the fresh taste that is desired. It tasted like it had been frozen. The sauce soaks into the rice, and the portion is good, but there wasn’t anything spectacular about this dish.

- Poached egg over crab cake over a muffin - The crab cake was good, but also not spectacular. This dish is accompanied with fried potato wedges. I found the English muffin to be a bit soggy, so wasn’t particularly impressed.

At this time, I find no reason to return to Doce Lunas. Service was slow since there was a large party on the patio. In fact, I found the servers to be a bit snobbish and noticed them talking about our table in an unfavorable light which dropped them from 3 star service to 2 stars.
