When I heard that Kinley's Restaurant & Bar had started a Saturday brunch, I was excited. Having previously enjoyed dinner there, I knew the chefs were talented and the food was exceptional. Already serving lunch from 11:30 a.m to 3:30 p.m. Saturdays, Kinley's recently added a brunch menu with a variety of breakfast and nonbreakfast entrees.
