Le Fou Frog is a cozy French bistro in historic downtown Kansas City that transports diners to the romance capital of the world with its delicious award-winning cuisine and fine wines. With a sometimes serenading chef, Le Fou Frog is perfect for elevated French dining in intimate quarters. The menu features delectable dishes such as glazed foie gras and escargot as well as steak au poivre made with a Kansas City Strip.
Was quickly greeted and sat at the bar. Friendly greeting and was impressed by the specials list as well as the great recommendations from the bartender. I cannot speak highly enough of how great the service and food was. Such a good experience to be able to visit here and eat some amazing food paired with drinks of the highest quality. I came in expecting to try certain dishes and was led to some others that made the whole experience one I won't forget. I recommend if you are debating where to grab a meal from, you don't miss the chance to stop in. You will not regret it. My next visit through I will have to make Le Fou Frog a must stop for whatever the occasion might be.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The service was absolutely top notch. We were very impressed with our waiter’s knowledge of both ingredients and menu offerings. The lemon gnocchi and French onion soups, along with the various cocktails and entrees we ordered were fantastic. Many unique things to choose from that you won’t find other places. Dessert was no exception either. We tried the crème brûlée and a lemon blueberry and almond desert that was divine. We also loved the live music and bubbling fountain out on the patio. Perfect for springtime dining. If you are looking for a fun, tasty dinner experience- this is the place.

This had been my favorite restaurant for years. But I think I've grown as a food connoisseur. I wasn't as impressed with the food as I was on my first few visits. It's been years since I've eaten here. Our server was amazing. I love that its a small, kinda hole in the wall. The meals are decently priced for a French restaurant.

First time in. Sat at the bar side table. Excellent drinks. We ordered several appetizers. Beet salad. Smoked trout. Oysters. All delicious. The pasta with truffles was amazing. The desert. I don’t recall what it was by name. But it was pretty much the best, ever. I will return. And the service was excellent. What a fun date night.

It’s always a fantastic time at Le Fou Frog. The ambiance is spot-on — cozy, vibrant, and full of character, making every visit feel special. The food is consistently delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of rich flavor. And those dessert martinis? Absolutely irresistible — the perfect way to end the night and a reason on their own to keep coming back.

Our first time dining at LFF did not disappoint. We were celebrating our anniversary so the intimate setting was perfect. The food and drink options were plentiful and our server was so knowledgeable. We ordered the strip steak and filet. They were cooked to perfection at medium rare. Creme brûlée was a wonderful way to cap the meal. Delicious. Great experience. Won’t hesitate to come back.

I realized when we left that we were leaving a different dimension, a cultivated experience of amazing food, expedient service, live music, all solidified by the red lighting that transported us to this lovely place. I enjoyed the live music (singing) that added to the classy atmosphere. The pappardelle with truffle is possibly the best pasta dish I’ve ever had, its quality only rivaled by dishes I’ve had at Gordon Ramsay restaurants. The noodles were cooked absolutely perfectly and I loved the flavor. I’m still talking about it days later. We also loved the Bisque de Homard and the caesar salad with calamari. I wish we would have visited here sooner. I can’t wait to return!

My husband and I are new to the area having moved from the New York City area and have been trying out various restaurants trying to find our favorite spots. We've tried The Antler Room and The Restaurant at 1900 among others. Le Fou Frog -- hands down -- is the restaurant to beat in our minds. I had been disappointed that the atmosphere in other places wasn't quite what we were hoping for. If you want vibes and atmosphere: Le Fou Frog is the place to go. It's charming meets hip meets comfortable. We would have felt like we fit in if we were dressed up (which we were as we were headed to Swan Lake at the Kauffman right after) or in jeans. On top of that our server, Claire, was incredibly warm, personable, and helpful. The food was incredible to top it all off, and we appreciated not feeling like we were being rushed out the door. Hats off to this place. We'll definitely be returning soon.

Café Gratitude Kansas City is a solar-powered vegan restaurant located at 333 Southwest Blvd., KCMO. Since its opening in 2013, it has been serving international plates and smoothies made from locally sourced veggies. The restaurant offers a 100% organic and plant-based menu with plenty of gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. The vibrant interior features an abundance of plants and showcases art from local artists.
A life changing meal. We went all out and got several menu items and every single dish/drink was praise-worthy. I won’t go too into it, you’ve just gotta try it yourself. Sydney was our loving waitress. She helped us curate the perfect order and provided descriptive recommendations based on the mood we were in. I am grateful to have such good food and people in KC 🔥🙌💚

This is the best vegan restaurant I have been to in the whole USA - from Boston to NYC to Florida to CA (and I have been vegan for over 3 years)! The menu is delightful to read, and the staff is effervescent. From the moment we sat down, to the question of the day and throughout the meal, everything was perfect. We were only in KC for 4days, and ate at Cafe Gratitude 3times. Each time was as good as the previous! I highly recommend Cafe Gratitude for vegans, vegetarians and culinarily curious non-vegans!

Outstanding place. Everyone working here is fantastic. The menu is extensive- plant based and organic. They have 2 menus - a regular and seasonal - impressive. Plating looks great - and food tastes amazing. I had WHOLE macrobiotic bowl — OMG 😋 it tastes so good. And the dessert - Tiramisu is out of this vegan world. If you in Kansas City- you have to stop by.

I am WHOLE. I am BRIGHT. I am RAPTURE. Delicious, easy, and earnest, Cafe Gratitude was a great find for a couple of part time vegans (Orthodox Lent) on the road. If I lived in KC, these beautiful folks would definitely know my name.

Beautiful restaurant, very cozy and warm. Truly a relaxing experience. Their nachos were quite filling with tons of toppings. Raw pad thai had an excellent peanut sauce and texture. The BLT had a great crispy bread, the tofu is quite crisp and thin, great smoky flavor. The vegan burger is what you’d expect, it could have been slightly bigger but overall excellent. The side salad with fig balsamic vinaigrette was ok, could have used a bit more dressing/flavor or more than just leaves to give it some oomph. The honey mustard side salad was better with more flavor. We didnt try their dessert but they had good options, slightly pricey. Overall I’d def come back to maybe read at the bar sipping one of their juices or have appetizers. Great place for conversation with friends/date, fairly quiet, good natural lighting streaming in, overall just good vibes. Parking can be tough, main option is street parking which be tough on weekends but should be able to snag a spot within a few blocks. There was a parking garage nearby that said “additional parking for cafe gratitude” but it seemed like they charged $5.

Looked into vegan restaurants in KC and this one showed up! Don't recall what I ordered but my dad enjoyed his tacos! This donut was the BEST the frosting on it is amazing. The matcha latte was good too. Parked about a block away and it was worth it! I think the prices were a high + the decor was cute.
Moxeev — Google review
Very friendly service! I was surprised by the serving size as it was much larger than anticipated. The “I am Bonita” dish is what I chose and it was really good. The variety of different flavors ultimately led me to eating the whole dish. This place is much different than your standard vegan restaurant as everything is much more earthy and organic.

The Westside Local offers a unique twist on farm-to-table American cuisine in a cozy, exposed-brick setting with a charming beer garden. The restaurant's chic and welcoming ambiance sets the stage for an exploration of their creative craft cocktails and delectable dishes. From perfectly dressed kale salads to classic corned beef sandwiches featuring locally sourced meat, melted white cheddar, caramelized onions, and spicy grain mustard on medium rye bread, the menu showcases American-inspired flavors.
I had the best grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup I have ever eaten! It was so flavorful and delicious!! Took my son and his girlfriend there for dinner and she is Vegan. Plenty of choices and very accommodating and knowledgeable about the food and menu. Great neighborhood and atmosphere. Dog Friendly!! Highly recommend. You may need reservations but we sat outside with no wait.

Off the bat, the atmosphere is pretty cute but it stays busy so be sure to make a reservation. We started with the pint of fries which was delicious. For entrees, we had the summit burger and the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The entrees were ok; the bun on the burger was a little big and it came with lettuce even when we requested it not to (allergy).The grilled cheese was a flavor overload definitely embodying the saying that sometimes less is more. The cheese and soup were both so rich and potent I could hardly eat more than a few bites. Overall, it wasn’t a favorite dining experience and was expensive.
Madison C — Google review
I don't usually leave low reviews but for the price I think people should be leary. We met some friends at this spot, we'd never been before. We did have a reservation which of you decide to try this place out, I would definitely make a reservation. We had one of the appetizer boards and while it was pretty good there was a slight mishap which we all found a little funny and definitely gave the restaurant some grace as the person working that line was new and this could have happened to anyone. Instead of chunks of white cheddar we got chunks of butter, total shock when you shove a chunk in your mouth and it is not what you expected. The manager wanted to make it right but we were honestly laughing and just wanted to warn them that maybe not keep the two items close together or label them. I ordered the chicken and waffles and my husband ordered a basic ham and sausage omelet. The food was so cold, like ice cold and we had been waiting a while for it so we didn't say anything plus we were with friends and didn't want to cause a stir or anything. The chicken was bland at best and the waffle was flavorless. The omelet also ice cold was just not good, the potatoes were plentiful with the omelet but lacked in flavor. We were highly disappointed, for the price. It might have been an off day which absolutely happens. If you decide to stop in I hope your experience is much better than ours was.

A Truly Local Gem in Every Sense I had the pleasure of dining at Westside Local last night, and the name couldn’t be more fitting. The atmosphere felt genuinely local and cozy, a refreshing departure from the usual chain restaurant vibe. The menu was packed with interesting and unique dishes, which was a huge win for someone like me who doesn’t eat much beef or pork. I found at least four dishes I was excited to try right off the bat. The service was warm and friendly, adding to the overall welcoming vibe, and the atmosphere was hip and cool. Westside Local is definitely a spot I’ll be returning to, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, locally-focused dining experience.

We were in town for the Nebraska vs Cincinnati game and wanted to hit something local on the way home. After a night of drinking, I needed comfort food, and not a big fan of BBQ. This was close to our hotel, highly rated, and the review pics looked good. It didn't disappoint!! We had the option of sitting inside or outside on the patio. I opted for the patio seating and it was charming, comfortable, and well done! The fans on the ends of the tables were a nice unique touch. I don't recall our server's name (short dark hair), but she was great! Attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the menu items. I was impressed by the details of each menu item. They ALL sounded so good it made it hard to decide what to get. I decided on the mac and cheese and added the hot honey chicken. My husband picked a burger (they're 1/2 lb!) He appreciates much simpler flavors and modified one to his liking. The quality of the ingredients I think is what impressed me most. His burger bun was hearty and toasted, quality bacon, quality beef, and good consistent crispness on the fries. My mac and cheese was beautifully put together, a generous portion, and I appreciated the standards of quality! Would definitely eat here again! I would also love to try the tacos She suggested! I dont think you can go wrong with any item because of their quality and standards. Even the salt and pepper shakers were well thought out.

One of my favorite restaurants in KC. Whenever I have visitors, I always take them here for lunch- of course they've all loved it. Sitting outside in the spring or fall when the temps are great is such a vibe- full of plants, a spot for those who may have their dog with them. I love the atmosphere inside and out. The food is great and good selections for everyone- including vegetarians and vegans. Great option for a group with various dietary preferences or limitations. Love this place!

The Russell Restaurant & Catering Company is a laid-back dining spot that offers a mix of home-style cooking, grilled dishes, and burgers alongside an array of delectable cakes, cookies, and cocktails. Established in 2017 on Kansas City's Main Street, this multifaceted establishment encompasses a restaurant, bakery, and catering service. Renowned culinary entrepreneur Heather White oversees the bakery operations and crafts an assortment of breads, cakes, cupcakes, and cookies for both the restaurant and catering services.
They put the E in eclectic, the A in awesome, and the T in tasty when it comes to their food. You definitely want to EAT here!! This place never disappoints. They are still working on the best way to do pickup out front. If needed, it is easy to walk in to get their attention. They do not have a large dining space; but, they make it work. The food, whether it be the salads, the burger, or other things I have tasted, are FANTASTIC! I would eat here more if we were closer to downtown.

Walked a ways to drum up an appetite. The menu here looked great from the palm. Chose to eat light and ran with the salmon bowl. Really impressive display. Dressing was perfect and the roasted nuts added the texture. Fish was grilled to perfection. Looking forward to exploring more.

One of my favorites! The space is dark, rustic, and moody but the wrap around windows warm it right up! I’m a sandwich girl, so I’ve tried and endorse them all. If I go salad I’d recommend the Steak & Greens. If I go entree, I’d recommend the Fish & Chips. But the hands down winner is always the Steak Chimi sandwich and their house lemonade. A great place to stop in for a solo lunch or meet up with friends to fill up a community table. The dining experience is counter ordered with a self serve station for drinks and amenities. Also be sure to make a pass at their dessert window to see what’s out for the day.

The Russel has always been our favorite Lunch spot! Today the restaurant was closing early for an event when my wife and I showed up. We drive from 30 mins away just to have lunch here (it is that amazing!) and they were so kind to accommodate. i usually get the steak sandwich which is the best i have ever had. Today I also got the spicy chicken sandwich and it is hands down the best chicken sandwich i have ever had. Could not recommend enough!
Ron M — Google review
As one who has spent time trying to master the art of a homemade cheeseburgers, i would say The Russell was probably the closest thing to a traditional barbecue burger you can find without getting out the grill. I would guess the patties were over 5 oz, they were relatively thick, and they were cooked to the correct temperature. Buns were also toasted, and the seasoning was very tasty. I would probably put it in the top 10 burger joints in Kansas City for sure. The only drawback was limited seating, all the burgers were sided with potato chips rather than fries, and a can of soda was the only option for a drink rather than refillable glasses. Despite the very manageable drawbacks, The Russell was very worth the stop.

Disclaimer: I typically do not enjoy New-Age American pretentious sort of places. I had that expectation walking in here. I WAS REALLY WRONG. Very eclectically and well decorated with a very unique concept and menu.. this place was great. The food was so light but complex. So many different flavors with every bite... It may be the best lunch I've had in KC (minus Gates, but that's a totally different thing but also ironically next door) I'll let the pictures do the talking. This is a real gem.

Had a small work meeting for 10 people and needed catering. Ordered directly from the website on a Friday for a Tuesday meeting. Everything was perfect and the food was tasty and fresh. Multiple people commented on how good the food was. It came with everything we needed and was packaged very well to allow for a nice presentation and easy set-up. Very well thought-out!

A friend of mine suggested that we go to The Russell for lunch I never been there before so I decided sure let’s go give it a try. Tacos with soup and the burger with home fries and lemon cookie, a chocolate chip cookie and a oatmeal cream pie and let me tell you it was fantastic. We plan on coming back. It was like a treat.

Great salad options, including lots of house designed options if you aren't inspired to create your own. Friendly staff and quick service. Portions are very large! I wish I hadn't gotten a "full" size.

Horrible customer service. I ordered pick up through Door Dash. Probably my first mistake. Door Dash said my order was ready for pick up. When I arrived over 30 minutes after placing my order, I watched an employee walk over to a tablet and turn it on. She then proceeded to type my order into their system. I had to ask if that meant my order had not been started. She simply said “no, we didn’t see it, the tablet wasn’t charging.” No apology. No compensation. Nothing. She said again “ the tablet wouldn’t hold a charge. There’s nothing we can do.” Good food, but the last two times I ordered delivery, items were missing. Hence, I tried pick up tonight, which was also a fail. Not sure I’ll be back. Recommend some upper management training of staff on customer service.

The cashier is VERY rude! She has a terrible attitude to work in the food industry. The boss Lindy isn't much better. All she is concerned about is defending her workers and the the poor service they give. I have been to this location several times and the service is always the same. Terrible!!! The food is over priced. I won't be back and encourage other not to go there as well. Its not worth it.

Good quick healthy food. I love the build your own quinoa bowls and the sweet potato fries with the mustard sauce is good too. The menu is mostly under $15 and the portions are okay. Salads for me have been hit or miss as far as taste and combinations so I normally just build my own.

Totally dried out, crusty, looked like it had been cooked 3 days ago and left under a heat lamp. So hard that I could knock it against the table and it made a noise. Really disgusting. For such an expensive place, I would hope the food could at least be edible. I don’t usually do this, and I’m really not one to make a big deal out of these things, but this was so bad that I had to say something.

Barbecue restaurant
Jack Stack Barbecue - Freight House is a popular local chain offering a wide range of barbecue options, including steak and seafood. The restaurant provides ample outdoor dining space with socially distanced tables on the patio and in the parking lot. Guests can savor Kansas City-style barbecue platters accompanied by sides like cheesy corn bake and onion rings while enjoying live music on Wednesdays.
Truly incredible bbq - a step up from Joe’s. Joes has better sauce. But Jack Stack clears every other way. The sides are better (beans are comparable at both), the meats better, and you get significantly more food. We got Jacks Best for 4 and it’s an impressive amount of food, 3 people couldn’t finish it. The beef ribs are extremely fatty and tender and juicy - they are the best thing on the menu hands down. The pork ribs are also quite good, the sausage next, finally the burnt ends and lastly the beef brisket. Honestly, no point getting the beef brisket, the beef ribs are better in every way. I also really enjoyed the sides, and the pickles and the pickled onions to help cut the fat. The nicer ambiance and seating also help distinguish it from Joes. It isn’t much of a competition, if you had to pick one come to Jack Stack.

The bar area before we got our table was wonderful. Michelle at the bar and another lady were very busy, but never missed us in 2 hours. When we got our table the waiter Bobby was one of the best I've ever had at any restaurant and had recommendations. Our food was amazing. Unfortunately I drank way to much following a long stint on a diet and passed out in front of their bathroom. The manager and bobby along with my friends were able to help me recover and get us on our way and even gave us cupcakes to go. 10/10 would come again. 3/10 would recommend passing out in front of their bathroom door.

This place offers a memorable Kansas City barbecue experience with incredible decor and atmosphere that really sets the tone. Our waiter struck the perfect balance—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was a bit of a mix: the smoked jalapeño cornbread had great texture and was beautifully baked, but fell short on flavor. The beef burnt ends carried good smoky taste but were on the dry side. The pork spare ribs, however, were the highlight—tender, juicy, and falling off the bone. The baked beans and potato salad were some standouts, perfectly seasoned and delicious. Overall, a strong BBQ spot with standout dishes and a great environment, though not every item was a hit.

Solid spot in KC with some creative drinks and good BBQ. Everything was priced fairly. The drinks were poured generously and the BBQ had solid flavor. Our server was really nice and got us everything in a timely manner. If in the area I recommend checking out!

Josh!!! Huge shoutout to our waiter Josh! Phenomenal customer service is hard to find these days. You my friend deserve to be celebrated. You are appreciated beyond words can express…. THANK YOU! This establishment was wayyy more than what I was expecting! I was blown away by the decor, ambiance, and also the method of ordering. As a Texan, we are used to standing in a line to order in cafeteria style. This restaurant is actually a table service establishment which made the experience even better! We ordered brisket, ribs, pulled pork, Mac n cheese, beans, baked potato, and smoked salmon dip. All were AMAZING!!! Fresh, flavorful, and muy delicioso!! Can y’all please bring this greatest to Texas??? Pretty Please!!!

Fiorella’a Jack Stack does it so good! Best BBQ in KC. Seated 7 very quickly. Very polite, friendly, & professional staff. Outside seating was very comfortable & warm. Our server, Kylee is amazing. The pork & beef burnt ends, sausage, ribs, & lamb were all delicious. Finally, the birthday celebration was so wonderful to bring joy for our ELDERLY guest.

Based on my research and a recommendation from the hotel staff, we went to dinner at Jack Stack as it was supposedly the best BBQ in town. The restaurant is decent and service was fine. I ordered the Cornbread, KC Combo - 3 Meats(Baby Back Ribs, Burnt Ends, and Sausage) with an order of Baked Beans, Corn Bake, Coleslaw, and Potato Bake. The Cornbread, Sausage, and Coleslaw were the best items. I didn't care for the Corn as it was just pieces of corn in cheese sauce. The potato bake was good but extremely heavy. The meats were okay. Some were dryer than I'd prefer.

The lamb ribs are a must have! The turkey is good if you're in to that sort of thing (no shame in admiting it). The brisket was good too, but didn't meet the high standard set by the other meats. Fries were well seasoned and had a good fluffy texture with a crisp outside. If you just want dessert this is a better option than those cookie places. She Jack on my Stack 'till I Kansas City Barbecue.

Q39 - Midtown is a trendy spot with high ceilings and exposed brick that offers delicious smoked BBQ and wood-fired meats. While there, you can visit various museums like the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, and Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Food was delicious. Came out quick and hot. Though everything was great. The ribs so tender it fell off the bone. The baked beans, cucumber salad and potato salad were my favorite side dishes. Autumn provided the phenomenal service. Checked on us often and held great conversation. The atmosphere was great. Q39 had all sorts of sports on TV, busy but service was fast.

Lunchtime at Q39 a busy place. Good sign. Spacious open dining room with a good view of the kitchen and full bar with seating as well. Started with "Best Wings on the Planet". Definitely very good. Nice char on the outside, tender meat on the inside. Really flavorful. Then had the combo plate with ribs, and beef brisket. Sides of fire roasted Mexican street corn, and five cheese mac with breadcrumbs. Both sides were excellent. The ribs and brisket were good. A little on the smaller portion size than you would expect considering the price, but good nonetheless. Will definitely be back to try again..

We flew from Chicago this morning, first time in KS and had only one purpose, come and try Q39. From the moment we walked in we felt welcome, our waiter Haleigh was OUTSTANDING, absolutely the sweetest.. please if manager are seen this give her a compliment from our part such a nice employee you have, love her hospitality. Now about the food. We ordered what they call it THE best wings on the planet 🌍 and they were not kidding, absolutely AMAZING. We also ordered pick 3 with ribs, brisket and pulled pork and all of them were delicious but my fav was the brisket, sooooo tender and great taste. If I ever come back to KS I need to stop at this place again, 10/10.
Jorge M — Google review
Smoked meat is delicious, half chicken dark meat is preferable, ribs, brisket, burnt ends, and sausage. French fries is the only side preferable to me. Nachos are delicious however they're seasonal and available April through October. The service once seated is phenomenal, food comes out fast and the staff are nice. The atmosphere is loud and crowded since it is a popular diner. The price for the quality of food is justified.

Fantastic BBQ restaurant with great food and service! Tried Old fashioned, Best Wings on the planet, Burnt End burger and Carrot cake. To start with, Old fashioned is solid! Burnt End burger is so juicy and just melts in your mouth. Chicken wings are damn good with BBQ Sauce, and Carrot cake is out of this world! Must try If you like to indulge mouthwatering BBQ meat around Kansas City. I’m surprised how fast the service is! Note: All the food items are shareables

Q39 Midtown is a solid restaurant to visit for BBQ. The ribs are tender, and come right off the bone with a gentle bite. The BBQ sauce is really good. The chicken wings also were good, for the price though I would like 8 of them. I also feel a good bbq needs really good sides, and Q39 did it right. I loved the potato salad and the cucumber salad.

The food at Q39 was absolutely delicious! Our group of 6 loved everything - great flavor and perfectly cooked BBQ. Everyone left happy and full! The only downside was the service - the lady started removing our plates while we were still eating, which felt a bit rushed. Other than that, it’s a really solid spot and we’d definitely come back!

Lidia's in Kansas City is a renowned upscale restaurant offering authentic Northern Italian cuisine. Housed in a 130-year-old former railroad house near historic Union Station, the restaurant exudes warmth with its vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, exposed-brick walls, and richly colored hand-blown glass chandeliers. The menu features classic dishes from Northeast Italy, such as the frico, alongside old Northern Italian recipes tailored for Midwestern patrons.
This place definitely lives up to the hype. Top notch Italian food, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Lidia on site which does happen. Everything we tried was absolutely on point for presentation and flavor. Staff were friendly and showed great attentiveness. They had good wise as well, but the food was so good that’s the only reason to come here. Overall if you’re looking for an authentic experience with delicious food then come give Lidia’s a chance.

1. The food was FIRE. Absolutely phenomenal and our server did a great job at selling it, and helping us choose what we should get. we were kind of scared as some of the ingredients were not our favorite but let me say we were not disappointed. Definitely did not leave hungry. 2. Our server Wojo was a DOLL. we had a later reservation, and instead of rushing us out the door, she continued to ask if we wanted to order more drinks, food, dessert, etc. she was so sweet, funny, and attentive and made our experience 10x better. She was so friendly and just a 10/10 all around we loved her. This was my first time trying this and I will 100000% be back again!

We had our wedding dinner in the Terrazza. We had around 70 guests and I wanted to make sure I chose a place with ambiance and that didn’t feel like just a room with four walls. We loved everything about it! The gorgeous room, the downtown upscale location , the food was fantastic, the service was impeccable and friendly! There was plenty of parking for guests which is rare for a downtown location. Terra, Matthew and Doug helped to make it the best night of my life!

We had a lovely dinner at Lidia’s last night & it did not disappoint. If you’ve never been, you must try it, with the understanding it is Northern Italian food. Last night we had the three course dinner with Caesar salad, the pasta tasting trio & dessert. The trio changes daily & always offers a variety of three different pastas that are AMAZING. You can refill any you would like more of. I love they also use fresh, seasonal & local ingredients when possible. The atmosphere is nice & our service was impeccable. Already looking forward to my next meal at Lidia’s!

I highly recommend this restaurant! The food was all good and most of the pasta is freshly made. The desserts are also delicious and the whole restaurant is very beautiful inside and outside. The reason I deduct 1 star is because the servers who served our pasta table side were not very careful. Sauce went everywhere and it stained my husband's white shirt. Also the same tableside pasta came when I was still enjoying my salad and instead of coming back to us they took away my salad to serve our entree. Other than that, it was an enjoyable dinner.

The food was a bit mediocre for the price we are paying. The lobster risotto wasn’t as flavorful as I expected and there were only a few pieces at the top. The appetizers were decent at best but the presentation was good. The lamb was wonderful, it was tender and had tons of flavor. The hanger steak was not that good and sushi was ok.

I took my fiance here for lunch for Valentine's Day. We had never been here before. Hostess was friendly and seated us promptly ( we had a reservation ). The restaurant wasn't very busy. The server was friendly and offered suggestions. We ordered and were presented bread. Butter was soft, which is nice. Many restaurants serve hard, cold, non spreadable butter. The bread was top-notch. The server hadn't brought my dates diet Pepsi, but when she brought my salad, she asked if she could have her soda. ( we had water already ). Food seemed to take a while, but when it arrived, it was very delicious. My date wanted a spoon to twirl her spaghetti, but the server didn't stop back until our meal was almost finished. My date asked for a spoon and received one and maybe had 5 bites. We waited a bit to receive a check. We also waited a while for our server to take my card. We probably were there from 12:40 until 2:10 The food was wonderful, and the server was friendly, but it seemed like service was slow even though they were maybe 35% capacity. I definitely recommend this place. This was my experience. I wasn't blown away but wasn't disappointed. Food was definitely 10 out of 10. My ceaser salad had the best croutons ever. I don't really even like croutons and typically pick them out of my salad. I ate every one. I'd say 8/10 on the service. Room to improve slightly but good. I'll definitely be back.

First time here. Had a large group, so we had a reservation. We arrived early but still waited 20 minutes to be seated. Understandable with the evening reservation and the number of people, but I was hopeful that we wouldn't need to wait that long. The service and food were very good. Started off with bread and appetizers, which were delicious. The meal arrived in decent time. There was an error with one of the orders. We were not offered any form of resolution, unfortunately. The food was very good, though. I'll probably return for another visit. Try it for yourself.

Had a pretty good experience at Brio last Friday evening. We made a reservation, and glad we did! We watched a lot of people get turned away. I was a little surprised at how long we had to stand at the hostess stand, before she even acknowledged us - literally probably 10 minutes! She was obviously trying to figure out some table and/or waitering figurations, but it's not that hard to look up, and say, "we'll be with you in a moment". A little thing, but most people would appreciate even a moment of recognition. Once we were seated, our waiter was attentive. The restaurant is huge, so I was amazed at how fast our food came out of the kitchen. They brought out their bread first, which is light and airy and amazingly good! We started with a Caesar salad- it was pretty standard, nothing amazing (they could at least use fresh parmesan to kick it up a notch!) Then we got the Carpaccio- I've never had this dish before. First of all, it was huge! I thought the waiter had brought us the wrong thing at first lol. It was so flavorful, every bite was divine! I ordered the Chicken Caprese- highly recommend! Every bite was so yummy. My husband ordered the grilled pork chops. They were terribly dry... like chalky dry. He wasn't going to say anything, but for nearly 40 bucks, I feel they can cook a pork chop correctly, so I requested a fresh one. I felt bad that my husband then had to wake so long to eat his meal. Thankfully, the next one was better. It was still slightly on the dry side IMO, but not chalky dry. I appreciate them making it right on the spot. Overall, it was good. I'm not sure that I'll come back, I feel that there are other restaurants at this price point that are better, but it was a solidly good meal.

I wanted to share feedback regarding my recent dining experience at your restaurant on December 22, which coincided with my birthday. Unfortunately, the evening did not meet the standards I’ve come to associate with Brio. Despite having an 8:00 PM reservation, we were seated at 8:30 PM due to a delay. While I understand the challenges of managing a busy evening, the service that followed was disappointing. Our server seemed inattentive, failing to respond promptly to requests for water and tissues, and their behavior made us uncomfortable as they appeared to be observing us throughout the evening. Basic service expectations were not met. For instance, when we requested silverware and tissues, they were placed haphazardly, and no napkins or extra plates were provided, despite us being a party of two. Furthermore, dessert was served before our main course, and when we inquired about the dessert menu, we were told there were only two options to choose from. Having visited Brio several times before and enjoyed the experience, this particular visit was far below expectations. It was disappointing for both me and my date, and it has left us reconsidering our choice of dining venues moving forward. In the end if anyone is looking for a good place with some good food and good service Brio isn't the one to even consider. Thank you and I'll be waiting for the automatic sorry response.

I don’t know who rated this higher but they are not to be trusted. I tried almost every appetizer and all of them were disgusting. The truffle garlic toast had a giant hair, the lobster bisque was clearly from a can, they claimed to be out of the shrimp risotto. The lamb chops were the only decent thing on the menu and they were just ok. The mushroom ravioli was so bad we had to send it back and the bruschetta was essentially just bread and balsamic. Service took forever even though there were only 2 other tables occupied. We came at 7pm on a Thursday night and the lack of people at that time should have been our first clue that we were going to be disappointed. Definitely not worth the price or the time. Shake shack down the road would have been better.

Perhaps I should be more generous with my rating (pretty good food, very attentive and accommodating service), but it's a high-carb, chain Italian restaurant. Thus we're starting at a lower baseline. Restaurant is echoey, even though it was not at capacity. Servings are generous but dishes are pricey. I did like the calamari and Italian wedding soup. When our group outgrew the table, they very kindly made a bigger place for us.

This food is always great. We were sat quickly by the very friendly host. The service in general is great. If you don't get bread on your table, make sure to ask for it. The bruschetta sampler was very good. The shrimp and lobster ravioli was delicious. The sauce was creamy, and had a little bite. The shrimp Mediterranean was also very tasty. The orzo was light and flavorful. This is a great restaurant for lunch, dinner, and dates.

My husband and I heard great things about this restaurant, so we decided to try it. The location is charming, and the atmosphere is incredible. We ordered the ravioli with meat sauce and garlic breadsticks. Each order is designed for 2-4 people, with an option for bulk orders serving 5-8 people. Soft music plays in the background, creating a lovely ambiance. The staff was friendly and highly professional. We were genuinely impressed with our first visit and plan to return soon.

I was really not impressed with most of the food. The sauces were pretty bland. Tomato sauce taste the same as the extra cup of marinara I got from Domino's last week. The chicken was dry and prices were high. The only thing that was actually good was the shrimp that was part of the appetizer. If it weren't for good service and the fact that atmosphere is nice this would be two stars. Definitely not worth the money... drinks are expensive as well. There are way better places to go for similar money that you will leave with a smile on your face.

In the most Italian way, the dishes are large and meant to be shared which is wonderful. But for someone who may want to just try a dish in a smaller portion you won’t get that here unless someone lets you share off their plate. You get free bread but it’s nothing to yell home about. Food itself was wonderful though and I would love to try other dishes. It was loud and had a hard time hearing our waiter who didn’t come around much. Give it a try

I ordered online for curbside pickup as curbside was an option. Once I got to the restaurant, I called requesting my curbside pickup. I was then informed that they do not offer curbside pickup. Why would you offer it online if it’s not an option? Fine. I went inside and got my order. Got home and opened my order. I ordered baked spicy sausage rigatoni and lasagna. Both small portions. Supposed to feed 3-4 people according to their website. I opened it and the small lasagna was half filled. I called and spoke to manager FRANK. FRANK was rude and condescending. He immediately went into defense mode. Explaining to me that “that’s the small portion. You received the right size. We just put it in that pan for to go orders. Have you dined with us before? Then you know that’s the right portion” Why would you put it in a big pan that is supposed to fit a large portion? If that is the true size then it should be in the appropriate sized pan. This is what I told FRANK. FRANK absolutely refused to give me his last name after I asked several times for it. He even told me to “go ahead and complain, maam. I can offer you a dessert” I explained that I had my son’s high school football game and that I couldn’t come back for a dessert” He kept arguing the pan size again and ounces blah, blah, blah. Still refusing to give me his last name. Then he told me that I was argumentative and that he was trying to help me and that he could offer me different compensation. Oh yeah FRANK? Why didn’t you say that to begin with? It was only after I asked for your name that you decided to offer me different compensation. $25 credit to use on my next visit. I will not return even with this credit. I understand that is your portion size. Fine. But to not even apologize for anything and accuse me of being argumentative only after I asked for your last name is uncalled for. No wonder you only have 3 stars on YELP.

Buca di Beppo is always a fun, lively experience, perfect for a group dinner. The atmosphere is loud and festive, and the family-style dishes are great for sharing. We recently had dinner there and were lucky enough to have Maria as our waitress. Maria was fantastic! She was super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. She knew the menu inside and out and gave us some great recommendations. Her energy was infectious, and she really added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. The food was delicious, as always. The portions are huge, so come hungry! Overall, it was a great meal, and Maria's excellent service made it even better. If you go, definitely ask for her!

This was my husband and I’s first time here and we couldn’t have asked for a better server and experience. Tyler was our server, he was very friendly, nice and funny. He helped us pick the best option for our taste, and he definitely did an amazing job. The sushi and salad combo was absolutely phenomenal as well as the sake and Kirin ichiban (beer). We will absolutely be returning in the future!

Dec 21st. My birthday as well as many other birthday parties were going on at the same time. The property was packed, Reservations I'd say are a must! Unless you enjoy waiting. We were seated on time, and our server was fast polite, engaging, and knew the menu well. The food was just okay. It's not great and, in my opinion, not worth the price which by the way is NOT CHEAP. We are from South Padre Island and come up to the Lee's Summit/KC annually this time of year.. Unfortunately, this establishment is a one and done.. Plotted. Scouts Out..

I flew in from Dallas-Fort Worth, and while visiting, I came across this restaurant. The menu looked good, so I walked in. Immediately, I was seated. This place simply has a good vibe. Russ Bliss (General Manager) stopped by my table to see how I was. All I can tell you is that Russ has a good team. Great service and an awesome flavor in the food. Worth the visit.

I took my daughter here for Valentine's Day dinner. The customer service was exceptional even though the place was wall-to-wall people they still took time to say hello and had champagne to celebrate Valentine's Day while we waited for our table. We had sushi to start, and it was delicious. I don't believe that it was worth $22. I've had this particular sushi roll at other places for half the cost taste just as good I had the steak and lobsters special for $70, and she had the salmon. the lobster was good, but it did not have any dipping butter. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked but had little to no flavor or moisture, which I found to be odd. I am not a steak sauce person, so I expect more flavor for a $70 meal. My daughter's salmon was perfectly cooked and moist. It also did not have a lot of flavor. Unfortunately, I think Kona Grill is afraid to add flavor due to individuals with medical conditions. Overall, I think the name is what Rises the cost of the food. I don't believe that I would recommend Kona Grill for the amount of money that I spent.

My concerns are about how the menu does not match the interior design (nor cleanliness/wear & tear) of this chain restaurant, thus disappointed with the overall value. I’d rather get the trifecta of food/service/atmosphere like restaurants at the Freight House. Where we sat, there were large obnoxious TVs in view.

The service was top notch, super friendly and honest with questions. Nice atmosphere. But the food was way overpriced for the portion size and quality. $23 for very small appetizer shrimp tempura, tasty but tiny. We both had chicken in our dishes. Both were overcooked and dry. One dish the rice was obviously reheated and just had oil or butter to try to rehydrate it. It was so overdone it was crunchy. Pad thai had decent flavor, but no fresh ingredient toppers, just mushy.

The food was high end. Very tasty & well seasoned. Ribeye was cooked to perfection with a special seasoned butter accompaniment & yummy fingerling potatoes. The cod was moist & not overcooked & the coating was well seasoned & crunchy. Another plus, they kept our drinks full. Definately will be going back.

Pork & Pickle is a BBQ restaurant that features delicious plates of barbecue and burgers, as well as sides like pickles. They also have a great selection of craft beers and cocktails.
The KC airport doesn’t have a lot of choices so I was excited when this opened. I’ve eaten here several times before flying out and it’s always been delicious . The breakfast hash skillet is SO good. The decor is charming, the staff could be friendlier but it didn’t really affect the meal. It’s a great way to get your bbq fix before you leave KC!

Delicious airport food may seem like an oxymoron, but we were wowed by the great service and delicious food. I had the pork and pickle sliders and my husband had the rack of ribs-both excellent. The host was also our server who made sure we had great service even though it was crazy busy. I also had the yummy corn muffins which I substituted for fries.

This place was hopping. At 3:30 PM. The serving crew was rocking. Constant motion and on time. Two problems. Both this sandwich and the fries were cool at best. I ate the sandwich but I was expecting BBQ and this was shaved turkey. Pimento had some kick. The fries went untouched. Issue 2? This poor pickle was billed on the menu. I'd be ashamed to mention it was even part of the meal. Poor thing.

I wanted some KC bbq during our long layover. Brandon our server was very attentive and helpful with our meal selections. I ordered the three meat combo. The brisket was tender and juicy, ribs had a lot of flavor but the sausage was not on the same level. Actually, the sausage was disappointing. Fries were crispy and not oily. I ended the meal with the tasty ice cream sandwich which consisted of two chocolate chip cookies, a scope of vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and a powdered sugar garnish. All requested napkins were happily supplied and a soda to go was offered. Could use a little more cleaning between customers.

Tucked away just above gate 41 at terminal B. Decent brisket, sauce could be better. Overall good food. Fast service which is great for an airport pace. Pricing is as expected at an airport. Easily the best option in Terminal B

For Kansas City this place is great. In a terrible airport with no dining options MCI airport is lucky to have the Pork and Pickle. Solid five stars. Cobb salad was awesome . Ribs are great. Half chicken looks good. Pretzel and pickle appetizers were nice. And they have sweet potato fries, a rare commodity.

<< Note that lunch starts at 11 am and prior to that you can only get breakfast sandwiches >> Pros: 1) Alright food variety compared to other places in the KC airport Cons: 1) Slow service, though this might be due to everyone ordering lunch right at 11 am (but still too little staff taking orders and serving it seems) 2) Small amount of seating (place filled up around 10:50 am with people waiting for lunch, including us). But this might be a good thing due to con #1 3) Bacon is limp and soggy 4) Turkey slider with spicy avocado did not have the avocado on it. Would recommend only getting food here if you have more than an hour to burn 5) The fries are sad and soggy 6) Expensive, even for airport

Only place I'd eat at the airport. Haven't been anywhere else it's just delicious. The service is fantastic. Super friendly, very accommodating. Well-made bloody Mary. They serve ONLY breakfast til 1100 and have two options: tots and meat n stuff or sammy n tots. They're good, but lunch is where it's at. The Mac n cheese is pretty good, though I wish it'd had a bit more meat. They put smoked turkey and smoked brisket on it usually. This time they didn't have turkey, so I'd thought there'd be more bits o' brisket. There didn't seem to be a lot of brisket on it. Though they did let me order a couple extra pieces of brisket al LA carte on the Mac.

We just arrived from Dallas for a funeral and wanted some good food. Sorry this wasn’t the place. BBQ was cold and the sauce. My fish was cold as well and they even had nerve to bring me another piece that was cold as well. Hush puppies were raw inside and the worse I’ve ever had. The only thing I enjoyed was the sprite.

Everything was amazing about this place. Only took a star away because parking is a nightmare. Limited spots and I had someone in my party that circled 4 times w/o finding a spot then just went home. 🥺 Service was great. They have bonus room across this outside hall from main restaurant area. They still bring you your food to this area, after ordering. I had the Chicken Prosciutto Tortellini, Garlic knots and Caesar salad. The garlic knots were soooooo good. They had this crispiness on the outside and warm soft bread inside. It was a textural joy to eat. Tortellini was a nice portion and I enjoyed it as well. The Caesar was nothing special and wouldn’t order again. The dining area was so charming. It is very loud when full of ppl. I couldn’t hear my table conversation very well. Definitely going back to try more menu items. I like that it’s been there since the 1920’s. I like old school vibes.

Cupini’s is one of those spots that feels welcoming the second you walk in. We love their back patio, it has a cozy feel and the live music always adds a fun touch. Their pizzas are amazing, the kind you keep thinking about later, and the margaritas are always solid. The staff is friendly and quick, and you can tell they care about the food. Inside they have a deli style setup with fresh pasta and desserts that make it hard not to grab something extra. The atmosphere is relaxed and never feels rushed, so it is easy to hang out and enjoy. It is a place you look forward to coming back to again and again.

Kansas City Gem Cupini's what a fantastic Italian restaurant!! It sure is a little place but the flavors are huge! I live in Chicago where l've had some of the best Italian food...''l tell you straight up Cupini's can compete all the pasta is made fresh In house, the sauces are delicious. I definitely went out the box and got the spaghetti squash dish, needed something different to much KC BBQ...but I'm happy I did it was amazing in flavor and spaghetti had perfect texture it was kinda crazy actually. My wife still makes this dish at home that's how much she loved it! Service was on point felt very welcomed. 100% recommend!

Cupini’s! We love coming down to to KCMO and eating here! My husband gets the three cheese tortellini every time and I get the spaghetti and meatballs. Every time we eat here it’s fantastic! Everything is so fresh! We love the homemade baguettes (get a whole one you won’t regret it). It’s to die for! The lemoncello is strong but that’s a good thing! Our favorite dessert is the flourless chocolate cake. The inside seating area can get a little loud during busy times like evenings. We enjoy sitting on the patio during lunch! Patio in the evening is also great with live music some nights! Chef’s kiss and kudos to everyone who works there!

This pub sits on the second floor of the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel. This was my first visit and will obviously be my last. The first issue was the difficulty of to locating the pub upon entering the hotel. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and pleasant enough. Sports were displayed on every screen. I guess that is to expected with it being marketed as a pub. However, it would have been nice if at least one screen featured something different. The service was spot on but the food was horrible. My server, Eric, did a lovely job of making me feel welcome! I ordered the Smoked BBQ Ribs, half a rack and a Spritz Refresher. The BBQ was cold, the sauce was extremely sweet. The fries were plenty but overcooked. I was sorely disappointed. Your food is a huge part of your image, and your reputation!

Overall it was a bit meh. Fries were pretty good, burger didn't have enough seasoning was a bit overcooked. That's partially in me, I asked for medium well, but it was definitely more well done and was pretty dry. Our server wasn't awful or anything like that, just not as attentive as I would have expected when there were multiple servers and they only have 10-12 tables in the place, so just a bit lackluster. To me the prices were high for the quality of food received.

There were at least 20 open tables and the lady at the front said she needed us to wait ten minutes because she just seated a big table. She asked us to leave the host stand and wait in the lobby.

A Perfect Sunday Night at Rockhill Grille We absolutely love Rockhill Grille in downtown KCMO. The food is always wonderful, and the ambiance strikes that perfect mellow note—sophisticated yet comfortable. Our server was fantastic: attentive without hovering, warm without being overbearing. It made us feel cared for without feeling interrupted. The food was delicious across the board. I was initially a little bummed to learn they’d removed my favorite cucumber cocktail from the menu—but it turned out to be a happy twist of fate. I ordered an appletini instead, and it was as if the universe was nudging me to try something new. And I’m glad I did! We were celebrating my husband’s 43rd birthday, and the whole evening felt like exactly what we needed—a relaxed, elevated, and memorable Sunday night vibe. Rockhill continues to be one of our favorite spots in the city.

Rockhill Grille is one of the best spots in Kansas City. I’ve been a few times now and every visit has been consistently great. The food is always on point. The burger is one of my favorites in town and the steak is cooked exactly how you want it. You can tell they put care into every plate that comes out. The space feels classy but still comfortable, so it works whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or going out for a nice dinner. The staff is friendly, professional, and always makes you feel welcome without being over the top. The cocktails are strong and well made, and there’s a good selection of wines and local beers too. I sat on the patio last time and had one of those perfect Kansas City evenings. If you’re looking for a place that gets everything right without trying too hard, Rockhill Grille nails it. It’s the kind of place you find yourself coming back to again and again.

Wanted a side from another menu item which I was happy to pay for and was told no. They are servings for 2 in each individual pre made just for that entree. They are not busy, it is late so probably won’t use it all before closing. Terrible. Service was awful. So was most of food. Goat cheese heirloom tart was all crust & tomatoes. The so called pickles are cucumbers sprinkled with vinegar. Ham gravy tasted like raw flour as did the breading on the fried chicken wing. The breading on the breast was good but all I. All I have had much better fried chicken. Never got salad I ordered. Deviled eggs gritty & leave an after taste that is unpleasant The honey goat cheese dip was the best thing we were served. Couldn’t get a side of collard greens even though it was late because it was a side for another dish even though I was willing to pay for it. They really don’t seem to have good customer service.

My fiancé and I were excited to try this spot, but unfortunately the experience fell short. It took about 12–15 minutes before our server even greeted us, which set a poor tone from the start. The water tasted off (not what I’d expect from a place that presents itself as more upscale), and when my coffee arrived, the cup looked dirty—which I’ve included photos of. On the positive side, the cinnamon bun was delicious and honestly the highlight of our visit. However, the main course was very disappointing. I ordered the chicken and toast, which had no seasoning at all, and the toast itself was undercooked. For the price and the atmosphere they’re going for, I expected much better quality. Sadly, this is not a place I’d recommend or plan to revisit. If you’re looking for a good breakfast, I’d suggest going to snooze down the road instead.

On a Saturday afternoon this place is buzzing with people. Just when you think it’s too crowded, you realize when you’re seated. That you don’t have that crowded because the restaurant is quite spacious. I totally enjoyed the vibe, and the great service from Kate. Cinnamon bun- They are known for their cinnamon bun. This dessert is offered as an appetizer and it’s huge. You literally can share this with another person. I like the fact the frosting wasn’t overly sweet. The cinnamon bun was warm and chewy but not doughy. Some may like it more drier but I prefer it how Rye makes it. Shrimp and grits- Nice serving size.. Grits were creamy and plenty of shrimp. Only issue for me was the sauce, it tasted more like a watered down bbq sauce. That flavor was off putting to me. Chicken fried steak- This entree can easily feed two people. The steak was fried perfectly and seasoned well. I would suggest though, use mashed potatoes that are not instant potatoes. The instant potatoes blended too much into the gravy and you couldn’t tell them apart. Smoked short rib hash- This dish had so much potential but it fell short due to the blandness of the flavor. To me the only flavor that stood out was lemon. But from what I read of the description of the dish. There is no lemon, so why did it have a sour (lemon) undertone flavor? Cocktails- Amazing

Don’t know why it took me this long to try this place out, since I’m obsessed with anything brunch related. I just loved the setting of this place, just the fact that it’s in Kemper Museum surrounded by eclectic art makes it worth the visit. We tried their biscuits and gravy, squash and goat cheese omelette and French toast with raspberry purée and ice cream. Such a good meal experience, I couldn’t get enough of the crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside smashed potatoes. The French toast was incredible and we didn’t even need the syrup because the ice cream and berry purée were all it needed. The omelette wasn’t anything special and next time I will probably try their cornbread and something more adventurous. Also wish they had more dessert options than ice cream. Definitely recommend this spot to all the KC foodies.

The food here was delicious. I ordered the Kobe Beef Hash and the Crab Cakes/Eggs Benedict. They were both divine. The cafe is located inside the museum with art lining the walls. It's a wonderful place for brunch and drinks.

The venue is very neat. You are surrounded by contemporary art (totally not my thing) underneath a glass ceiling. The staff is very friendly and service is ok. I ordered the biscuits and chorizo and lamb gravy. The biscuit was a cornbread type of biscuit. It was very dense and lacked flavor. The gravy (not pictures) was utterly disappointing as well. I was expecting an explosion of flavor with the chorizo and lamb, but received a flavorless speckled paste you would expect from a 7th grade home economics class. The consistency was off and it needed salt. Well, not just salt; love. It was bad. The eggs that came with the meal must have been cooked in the same 7th grade class. The texture was great, but again... No flavor. The potatoes that accompanied the meal were fantastic. Beyond delicious. The crispy skin was a surprise, and welcomed after the biscuit. They were heavily season; I actually rolled them on the eggs hoping to rescue the meal. If you like crisp bacon, this is the place. I love crisp bacon. The bacon was perfect. The sangria and mimosa were fantastic. The menu is very small, which is fine; however, the few items should be executed with greater attention. I probably won't return, nor recommend Cafe Sebastian. The KC food scene is too good to return to a meh meal.

Nestled in a relaxed strip mall, Thai Place is a delightful family-owned restaurant that has been serving the community since 1991. This hidden gem in Johnson County, Kansas, offers an inviting atmosphere adorned with beautiful Thai carvings and decor. The menu features an array of authentic dishes crafted with care, showcasing a perfect balance of spices and fresh ingredients.
Yellow Curry and Med spice Pad Thai was decent. Restaurant was busy as expected, though we had to wait a bit longer for one of our meals to come out to eat together. Thai tea was good. Medium spice level had more of a kick than other places.

Service and food was excellent! Everyone was very friendly and the food was 5 stars. Great place to share a meal and talk to friends and family. Tip: They don't fool around with spice levels, medium spice is hot! I like jalapeño level hot, so the mild is perfect for me.

I have been going to Thai Place frequently ever since I was introduced almost 5 years ago. The food is so flavorful and delicious. My favorite by far is the Yellow Curry with Chicken and I get it almost every single time I go. The staff is very courteous and attentive, and I have always left with a full stomach.

3 Stars – Thai’d Up and Confused Came here for lunch with three friends, and while we left full, we also left… confused. The food came out in waves like we were playing some kind of spicy relay race — one person would get their food, eat, and then cheer the next one on as their dish finally showed up. Very Hunger Games meets dining out. The Pad Thai? Let’s just say it was more “Pad Sigh.” Saucy in all the wrong ways and somehow both soggy and dry? A magic trick, really. BUT — the Crab Rangoon? Absolute fire. If it were socially acceptable, I would’ve ordered a dozen and called it a day. Crunchy, creamy, and delicious enough to make me temporarily forget that my entrée was MIA. Would I come back? Maybe. Would I bring a stopwatch and a backup meal? Also maybe.

Consistently high quality food. They have a great lunch special, with discounted prices, and your meal comes with soup or salad and two crab rangoons. I went to lunch and asked if I could substitute my soup/salad option with more crab rangoons and they obliged, that is the kind of service you can expect. They will give you the spice level you ask for, so if it's your first time go with a more mild level of spice, they are happy to add more spice for you if you don't find it spicy enough. My favorites: beef pad thai with a spice level between medium +, and hot. Their Volcano soup is the best Tom Yum I've ever had, and I enjoy thai hot spice level with that dish. The soup is big enough for a meal, and I usually crave it so much I get takeout Volcano soup about once a week. You've been warned! Update: I have found going for their Tom Yum soup near closing will make the soup inedible and taste like dirty water, with a mix of soap. This causes the oil in the soup to rise to the top, and the aftertaste is simply foul. I can no longer justify the price, because the to-go soup is inedible. It disappoints my taste buds and my wallet. Furthermore they have gotten my order wrong on several occasions, #1: they gave my order away to someone with a similar sounding name... and remade mine when I showed up for pick up (that poor man received *Thai Hot* beef pad thai) #2: I ordered beef pad thai (Thai hot), and a full order of rangoons, only to receive an order of *no spice* pad thai and my order of rangoons. I returned after finding it had no spice at all (very odd for an order asking for the hottest of the hot) and they remade my order, but only made it mild- I just kind of gave up at that point and made it spicier at home. I don't really understand how such an amazing establishment has fallen so fast. I just can't order from here with the failures due to the price. The price does not warrant such inconsistencies. Up(per)date: The pad thai recently has been up to standards, with the spice level (Thai Hot) meeting expectations, so if I need a fix of *their* pad thai I will go there. However, on a recent pad thai lunch take-out order of crab rangoons (2 come complimentary with the lunch order without cost), I ordered an additional half order of another 4 rangoons, but did not receive the complimentary 2 rangoons as well ((I should have received 6 total- full order is 8, so half is 4 + 2 complimentary should equal (=) 6)). This felt like another complete slight on their loyal customer, was it a true mistake, or do they believe I am stupid? Please bring back the quality, quantity, care, attentiveness, and prestige you used to guarantee! I hope I can become, once again, one of your biggest fans and rave about the Thai Place again! (You guys gave me many years of great service, so I will not lower my review, but know my review is not a reflection on the current standards of your establishment to date.)

Happy Gillis is a charming and homey haunt located in Columbus Park, just minutes from downtown Kansas City. This neighborhood staple offers elevated breakfast and lunch fare with a fresh take on farm-to-table dishes that rotate based on seasonal ingredients. The blackboard-only menu adds to the charm of this spot, where locals start their day with favorites like sausage or mushroom biscuits and gravy, chorizo breakfast burrito, overnight oats, smoked salmon toast, and classic breakfast plates.
I happened to be in the area and craving brunch foods and what a little treat this restaurant was to find! You order at the cashier and have several standing options for food and drinks to buy. I chose a seasonal meal, the smoked salmon toast, and it was extremely delicious. The egg was perfectly cooked! Also the staff is incredibly nice!

Always a wonderful experience at Happy Gillis! Very nice laid back brunch atmosphere. The food is consistently delicious and it’s apparent that the General Manager cares and takes pride in the dishes that leave the kitchen, from presentation to taste.

Happened upon here while walking around this neighborhood during my stay at a nearby hotel. After checking reviews, I decided to try some breakfast and enjoyed it quite a bit. I had eggs, bacon, biscuits and I added a side of gravy. I was a little disappointed at the cost for adding gravy but it was a substantial amount and was pretty tasty. Service was faster than I expected and everything was prepared perfectly. Plenty of seating was available and I had no wait to order which was a surprise given what many other reviews seemed to mention—maybe I lucked out. In any event, highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area.

If you want to wait over an hour for your food, eat here . The wait was ridiculous. Obviously understaffed and the robot servers may have something to do with this. Seems like they are taking our jobs . Would much rather an actual person wait on me but it cuts costs for the owner as if they weren't making enough money. Food was cold soggy and fries were cold. Don't eat here.

The food was absolutely delicious, and that’s the main reason I’m not giving a lower rating. However, I have to mention that my “stuffed chicken” wasn’t actually stuffed — it was just two pieces of chicken with some sauce in between. The service was very quick, and our server was incredibly kind. The only downside was a slightly odd smell in the restaurant; they should pay more attention to cleaning. Because of that, I’m giving four stars.

Hello Olive Garden, You are the most hyped restaurant in US especially to try Italian food. I’m sure it’s definitely worth a visit , but you should be prepared that there will be a lot of people always in this restaurant. We went to try their items , though it’s raining there are a lot of people and it smells kind of bad. But overall, they have a very good restaurant management system, and they are trying their best to cope up to the customers Items we tried — Fried Shrimp 🍤 — Desserts Both the items are very good and tasty, I definitely recommend to try once. The saddest part of Italian food for me is, it’s just a one time visiting food. So if you want to have a new vibe to enjoy, then I definitely recommend visiting Olive Garden in Italian restaurant. Feedback for the restaurant — Install a very good air freshener. Cheers 🥂

This was a redemption trip. After having previous bad experiences, we decided to give this location one more shot. We are very glad that we did. The food was great and the service was on par with the "family oriented" experience that olive garden touts. The new seafood mushrooms that we ordered in our appetizer sampler are definitely not going to be re-ordered. They were extra fishy and the filling seemed like a frozen seafood blob that was plopped into the center of a mushroom and baked. However the calamari, kids pizza, salad, and create your own pasta was delicious.

Won't order delivery again. They promote that their prices are the same for delivery but what they don't tell you is that they charge you three separate prices to have the food delivered, as you'll see on the attached photo, totaling in almost $14 extra dollars, that includes: a delivery fee, a to-go specialist fee, and a delivery fee. I mean, this is ludacris. A "to go specialist" fee? So someone contacts Uber to come pick up the food & they get $4.30? Come on Olive Garden!

Artego Pizza is a vibrant eatery where you can craft your own custom pizza or savor their signature creations. In addition to pizzas, they offer a variety of wings, subs, and cocktails for a complete dining experience. The pizzeria was built by Joe Perez, a Kansas City native and former Chiefs player, using recycled materials and features a full bar. Their pizzas stand out with patiently fermented dough and crispy crusts made with herbs and oils.
This is genuinely the greatest pizza I’ve ever had in my entire life, i’m here on vacation and live in st. louis and would seriously drive out here to have this pizza again. the place itself is amazing the art is really good looking and very nice. the servers name was Lorielle and she was one of the nicest people i’ve ever met she told us a story about the art which was very cool and the crust was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, It was like a breadstick. And the pizza was so cheesy and tasty. if the manager/owner is reading this GIVE LORIELLE A RAISE she deserves it she was so nice and funny. And this is the best pizza ive ever had, if your looking for a pizza place or somewhere for lunch/dinner definitely come here.

Artegos is a great pizza spot in KC! The restaurant itself is great - full of great art and good service. Tonight I tried the gluten free (GF) pizza since my GF boyfriend was in town. He said he was really good for being GF. It’s pretty small though so if you have a big appetite, keep this in mind! Their original crust is amazing! No pics of that in this review but if you can eat gluten - get that original crust for sure! Artegos wings are also outstanding. Crispy and flavorful! Would always recommend a visit to Artegos if you’re looking for awesome pizza!

This was our first visit to Artego Pizza. It has been on our Pizza List for a year or so. We were not at all disappointed. Katie seated us quickly, and she was beyond top-notch for service. We order the 39th Street Pizza minus the black olives for the hubby. We normally order a thin crust, but both of us completely forgot as we were getting to know Katie. Mike delivered our pizza nice, hot, and fresh about 10-15 minutes later. We talked a little to Mike and got some good back story on the restaurant. I also got a side of pesto for the crust, so delicious and fresh. We are about 2 hours south of KC, but we will definitely come back here. I would have given a 10 on service because that was totally how amazing Katie and Mike were.

Buffalo Wild Wings is a popular eatery that offers a variety of tasty options such as wings, tenders, and burgers. They also provide a diverse array of sauces that range from sweet to extremely spicy. The restaurant's service is commendable, with efficient and dedicated staff ensuring customers' needs are met. Notably, the Buffalo chicken wrap is highly recommended for its exceptional taste.
Normally, it's a great chain to eat! This was an off day for this location! The chicken strips were approximately ⅔ of the way cooked! They were rubbery and inedible! We didn't argue or complain, just boxed them up and used our air fryer at home! The location was clean and hardly had to wait to be seated! Everything else went pretty well! We waited on several drinks and requests but also realized they were busy and getting busier! We may give them another try in the distant future, but there's a lot of choices all around!

Guys you can see if you follow me that I do not write many bad reviews unless there’s a reason for it. I have not been to this Buffalo wild wings in probably two years so upon entering, I was expecting it to be like it was before, but the service is horrible. The place is dirty and they only had two waitresses. One of the waitresses was also a bartender, and no one was even there to welcome us when we walked in the door. I don’t know if they were just having a bad day, but this looks like people at Buffalo wild wings specifically this Independence location have gotten extremely lazy. we seated ourselves in the bar area because we figured someone would notice us if we’re there and then finally the bartender came over to give us water. She was doing everything she could. I’m not blaming any of this on her. It takes a very long time to get our food… there’s probably 20 tables full so it was a lot for the two maybe three of them them to be going through. When our food came There wasn’t any celery on the plate or when we asked for some what she brought out was horrible. It was like it had been in the refrigerator for 710 days and it was brown on the ends and stringy and it just looked like it. Honestly, it just looked like time for the garbage. but the rest of the food was like I said just OK I couldn’t get over the fact of how dirty the place was how unkept it was. The bathroom was gross, so I am not gonna give my stamp of approval on this one. I’m not sure that I’ll ever be back.

Absolute worst experience. I was with my family of 5 and we got seated right away but no one ever showed up to take our order. We waited over 25 minutes before walking away. I said something after waiting 15 minutes to the hostess and my mother in law said something after waiting another 5 minutes. Still no one saw us. No one ever acknowledged us the entire time. We felt completely ignored. Several servers passed by our table but never looked our way. I’d rather drive further away to Lee’s summit than come back here again.

If I am in the area on Tuesdays or Thursdays I make it a point to come in and get wings. On Tuesday and now Thursday I have been super disappointed with my food. The wings weren't saucy on Tuesday when I got traditional and today I got boneless and you can't even consider some of these wings, not even chicken nuggets. I had one that was just a dry little Asian zinc puck. Super disappointed. I will change my review when I get better food. I will be coming back regardless

Nestled in a charming, woodsy setting, Black Bear Diner Independence is the perfect spot for those craving all-day comfort food and delightful desserts. Since its inception in 1995 by founders Bruce Dean and Bob & Laurie Manley, this diner has aimed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where locals can indulge in generous portions of home-style cooking without breaking the bank.
At 1st it wasn't busy for a Friday night we were there just before 5pm. By the time we left it was packed and people were in long line to get in. We had the all you can eat fish, it was a lot of food, we did get 2 more pieces but we really didn't need that much food. They serve many different foods including breakfast all day. Portion size was good felt value was fair. Service was a little slow, however they were friendly and kind just really busy. We would go back again and try some other options, the breakfast looked good.

Nestled in a historic building, Banksia Bistro - Downtown is an inviting Australian bakery and café that brings a slice of Down Under to Kansas City. With its charming patio, it’s the perfect spot for enjoying a leisurely brunch or lunch. The menu features delightful offerings like avocado toast on sourdough with white miso, topped with cherry tomatoes and an over-easy egg—an homage to Australia’s vibrant café culture.
Amazing food and cocktails! We were here for a wedding over the weekend and wanted to get something light. We ordered the Jerk Chicken Salad and Mediterranean Chicken Salad. Both choices were fantastic! We loved it here so much that we went back for brunch the next day!

We had a great time sitting on the patio on a Friday night. The patio is dog friendly. We absolutely LOVED the food. We had the meatballs to start. I had the Australian prawns and my husband had the Aussie burger. For dessert we had the caramel slice. The food was beyond amazing and the service was great. We love their cafe and this is the perfect extension of that. If this is what Australian food is like I want to go there immediately.

Wow! This place did NOT disappoint! Quaint, modern bistro with a wooden slat wall full of hanging plants and windows all around to let in tons of natural light. I had an iced vanilla latte and the Quinoa Watermelon salad. My daughter had an iced Chai tea latte and the biscuits and gravy. The drinks were fabulous. The Chai had just the right amount of spice. We could really taste the clove and cinnamon. The coffee was smooth and mild. They even did decaf for me. The biscuits were fresh, and the sausage gravy was very tasty. Thick and creamy and almost tasted healthy. My salad was phenomenal. Served on a bed of fresh arugula, cubed watermelon and quinoa featuring grilled halloumi cheese, and toasted macadamia nuts made for a very tantalizing taste experience. A very light vinaigrette with a touch of chili completed the masterpiece.

Good amount of gluten-free options, including actually-good GF toast (still rare!), and a selection of desserts. The service and atmosphere were lovely. The prices were a bit steep for the type of food and drink offered, but ultimately, it was understandable given the location and likely overhead costs. My favorite food item was the mushroom-beet toast. Haven't had anything like it before, and I was pleasantly surprised!

I’d say the food is pretty good, the sausage rolls were great. Didn’t try the pies but looked amazing and everyone around had ordered one so I’d say they are quite popular as well. The cappuccino wasn’t bad but the bean had a very acidic aftertaste so not my flavor but perhaps some people quite like that Lamingtons were nice just wish they had more jam inside and the sponge was a bit grainy for my taste but again a matter of taste.

First off, it’s slow. Which fine, maybe you’re taking it easy. No worries. Second of all, I ordered an eggs Benedict and got closer to an omelette on bread. No ham, so they offered me bacon. But he clearly had already cooked and plated jt before informing me they were out. Subpar. Bummer. The aussies are good at brekkie; this isn’t good.

Hidden Gem in Kansas City – Delicious Aussie-Inspired Bistro Near the Convention Center! While visiting Kansas City for a volleyball tournament, we planned to grab a quick bite at Chipotle but ended up discovering an amazing Aussie-inspired restaurant instead—and we’re so glad we did! As the wife of an Australian, I was immediately drawn to this unique bistro that brings a taste of Australia to the Midwest. We arrived early for dinner, fresh off a flight, and were just looking for something light as it was technically our late lunch. The happy hour menu had great options at even better prices. We ordered the margherita pizza, grazing platter, and polpette meatballs. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and my daughter enjoyed a Shirley Temple. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The total came to just around $44 before tip, and we left completely full with leftovers. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, yet upbeat and contemporary—perfect for families, travelers, and anyone looking for a break from chain restaurants. I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Kansas City or searching for “Aussie food near me,” “best happy hour KC,” or “family-friendly restaurants Kansas City.” We’re already planning to return tomorrow to try their Australian meat pies and sausage rolls, which are my daughter’s all-time favorites. This place is a must-visit for fans of international cuisine or anyone looking to try something new in Kansas City! Second Visit – Still Delicious with a Few Misses (and a Fun Aussie Twist) We enjoyed our first visit so much that we came back the next day for lunch so my daughter could try the sausage roll and meat pie. Unfortunately, they were out of the lamb meat pie, so she went with the beef—it was good, but we both agreed we’d love to try the lamb next time. She also had the lamb sausage roll instead of the pork. I had a bite and thought it was tasty, but we’ll have to go back and compare it to the pork version. Both pastries were perfectly flaky, though I have to admit—it’s hard to beat my husband’s! For dessert, we tried the lamington. It was good, though a bit dry for my taste, and I wasn’t a fan of the raspberry filling (if that’s what it was). I’m more used to a traditional lamington, which I personally prefer. That said, my daughter loved it—she said it reminded her of a mashup between a lamington and an Iced VoVo biscuit. I ordered the pork belly, lentil, and spinach salad. The salad itself was fresh and well-balanced, but I wish the pork belly had more flavor—maybe I’m just used to BBQ-style pork belly with a smokier, more seasoned profile. Bonus: The table numbers are labeled with letters, and each one has a fun Aussie fact on it—which we loved! It’s a charming detail that adds to the experience and gives you a little conversation starter while you wait. We’re already planning to come back again—next time to try the mini pavlovas!

Well, with all my love to Panera bread. I am giving a 1 star review to this place. It’s so dirty here, seems like they never vacuum or clean the tables. I felt disgusted eating here and had to ask to wipe the table. Staff is very nice, it seems that they are just overloaded. Hope things will change here soon.

I have had trouble with quality here in the past. I thought "i saw those new dippers on tv. Ill give them another shot" Ok, so i go on the bebsite to order. They are out. Great. So i can adjust, lets just stick with the original plan, all i really want is paneras famous bread. Reasonable right? I try to call and place an order. Im told they only doordash now. Ok, now this is a nightmare. Doordash has not once had my order correct, but again, I thought "whats the worst that can happen?" This is what i got. Storebought loaf bread. From PANERA! I bet a person would have mentioned that BEFORE i paid the extra convenient fees. DOORDASH WILL RUIN YOUR BUSINESS! I will not be "giving it one more shot" ever again.

I am so disappointed in what I received today for my 33rd Birthday. First, their bouquet was just full of lettuce. My husband paid nearly 50 dollars for something that could have been created at home. It's not worth it for just lettuce. Second, the pineapples were all cores and were inedible. A few pictures are shown of the parts I couldn't eat eat. Third, the strawberries were not of good quality as they were beginning to go bad and it was delivered to my job today, not on time might I add. Pictures are available. Finally, I had a 1 at the top and I turned 33 which was not something that was originally ordered. I am so disappointed! Though the reply is appreciated, your name is still attached because it was created by you and your business. Also, when it arrived, it arrived upside down. Thank you though!

Cozy and unassuming. I thought the only tenants in the building were Long and Robinson LLC, so finding another place for lunch near my work felt like finding a hidden gem.

Buck Tui BBQ is a delightful culinary gem that has recently found its permanent home in Overland Park, following a successful summer at the local farmers market. Chef Ted Liberda, alongside his talented chef de cuisine Kara Anderson, crafts an enticing menu that marries traditional Kansas City barbecue with vibrant Isaan Thai flavors. The restaurant features a specially designed kitchen for smoking meats like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and whole chickens using locally sourced ingredients.
This place is the most slept on, unique, food spot that I've been to in a long time. Yes they have some kind of restricted hours, but when your food is this good, who cares? I'd come at midnight, or 6am, to eat this awesome fusion, BBQ spot. The flavors in their dishes are so crazy. They have everything from traditional BBQ dishes, to Brisket Rangoon, to Red Curry Brisket, the best potato salad I've ever had, and one of the best sandwiches probably on the face of the planet, the X-Man. The X-Man has housemade sausage, pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw, pickles, and cheese. Regardless of what you choose, this place will not disappoint. Must try! 10 out of 10, would recommend.

Sat outside which was nice. The drinks were great and the service even better. As an app we ordered the wings. Very good and full sized. The tiger sauce was flavorful and could be added to anything. For the entree, I ordered the platter which came with pulled pork, sliced brisket and Thai sausage. The pork was juice and tender and the brisket was ok but that Thai sausage was the best. As a side I got the Mac and cheese.stay away from the Mac. It was watery and almost no flavor.

This is KC style thai food! They have the authentic thai dishes topped with the finest KC style BBQ in each dish. If you like both worlds the brisket pho is a must! They are busy during lunch hours so the atmosphere is a bit loud and bustling. Avoid those times if you want to dine in peace. The menu is a bit on the pricey end and the portions are not overwhelming. Overall service is great, so if you are in the area, definitely check this place out!

After reading a favorable review on Buck Tui BBQ, where KC BBQ and Thai come together, we tried it out today and were not disappointed. Starting with brisket Rangoon’s, they were phenomenal (sorry no picture). We both had a two-meat platter, one pulled pork, Thai sausage, and pineapple fried rice, the other brisket, Thai sausage, and potato salad. The server was quick and polite and portions big (we brought leftovers home). Will go back to sample other things on the menu.

The brisket fried rice was out of this world—a wild, brilliant fusion I never knew I needed. The flavors were perfectly balanced. The spicy peppers made me tear up like I was eating Thai food, but the sweetness of the barbecue cut through all that heat for a mind-blowing contrast.

I was looking for something different and the brisket Rangoon caught my eye on line and brought me in. The thought of bbq thai fusion was intriguing. I was greeted immediately but was on my own so opted to sit at the bar. The bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu, the food and the business. I told her I had come in for the rangoon and told her I didn’t want straight Thai or straight BBQ but to pick anything she would recommend. I told her I have a high heat tolerance, no weird food allergies and like just about everything. She chose the red curry burnt ends with steamed rice. The manager joined us and we all had great conversation about the food, food in general and their sister restaurant Muni in the River Market. Food, service, presentation and atmosphere were all fantastic. All of the recommendations were spot on. I look forward to my next opportunity.

Very impressed with this place. Our first time dining here, it definitely left a lasting impression on me. A nice fine dining atmosphere and certainly the professionalism to match. Our service was solid all the way through and I appreciate all the staff we interacted with here. We split the lobster bisque to start and it is delicious. For my entree, I went with the Grouper (lots of great looking options but I was swayed by the gnocchi) and was far from disappointed. The fish was cooked perfectly and there was great depth of flavor with this dish. We also very much enjoyed our cocktails (very very solid Old Fashioned, for one). I definitely give this restaurant a strong recommendation! I’d love to return.

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday at Ocean Prime in Kansas City, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. From the moment I walked through the door, the service and atmosphere were absolutely outstanding. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel celebrated from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully handled — they explained the menu with care, checked in often, and made sure my evening was special. I ordered the steak, mac & cheese, French onion soup, and sushi, and each dish was exceptional. The flavors were rich, fresh, and perfectly prepared — truly a 10 out of 10 dining experience. What stood out most was how genuine and kind the team was throughout the evening. They went above and beyond to make my birthday unforgettable, and I left feeling incredibly happy and grateful. Thank you, Ocean Prime, for turning such an important milestone into a night I’ll always remember. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a first-class dining experience.

The food was superb. On Sundays they offer Surf and Turf at a set menu price which consists of a 3 course meal. The Bubbles and Berries cocktail tasted similar to a cherry-limeade. The smoking effect from the dry ice added such a touch of drama and elegance. The drink itself was perfectly crafted, refreshing and delicious. The dry ice made it seem extra special. It wasn't just a beverage, it was a little show right there at our table Service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. The waitstaff was also attentive, ensuring our water glasses were full and anticipating our needs without being intrusive. I recommend it for special occasion or looking for a top-tier dining experience.

This was our first time here and probably our last. While the service was top-notch notch, the food wasn't that good. It was also overpriced for what we got. My pork chop was not all the way done, and when I inquired, our server said that's how they make it!! REALLY, raw pork...NO!!! The drinks were amazing, but also way overpriced IMHO!

We celebrated our 5th anniversary here. From the hostess to our waiter to the support servers, everyone was so friendly and we definitely felt spoiled. They asked when we made the reservation if we were celebrating anything so as soon as we got there, the hostess and then our waiter wished us a happy anniversary. They also decorated the table and our dessert. Lots of places will ask about a celebration then barely acknowledge it, so those little gestures were really sweet. The food was delicious - Ceasar salad, lobster bisque, lamb chops, Chilean sea bass, and creme brulee. My husband asked me what my favorite part of the meal was and I couldn't choose just one thing. We also had lemon drop martinis and smoked old fashioned. They were both great. Perfect atmosphere and experience for our anniversary. Be sure and ask for Jameseon = top notch waiter

I stopped by on my way through town. It’s rare to find places that have good gluten free baked goods. I was 100% pleased! I got a cinnamon roll and a donut. Both were so good! The cinnamon roll was soft and bready. It had such a delightful texture and crumb. It was as not overpowering with cinnamon, but just perfect. The cream cheese frosting was divine! The donut was delicious as well! Perfect texture and fabulous frosting!

The baked goods looked amazing!!!! We did not try them tho. My husband had steak and eggs and i had the salmon bowl. It’s unfortunate but his steak was very undercooked and his eggs were also undercooked. The food looked amazing and i wish it was for him. My bowl was actually pretty good my egg was lightly poached but the rest of my food did not need to be cooked. The mushroom latte was pretty good as well. The atmosphere is very cool. We have heard great things about this place but it did not deliver. My husband ate a couple pieces of the steak and a small part of his egg and his potatoes, which were amazing, and no one asked how his food was they just came and grabbed his plate. It’s a cool place hopefully your experience is better.

I went in for Sunday Brunch with my family a few weeks back. I had heard good things. I had the trout plate. It was excellent. Great flavors. Well prepared. Fresh and delicious. I ama trout snob, and was pleasantly surprised that they did it so well. The baguette on the side was delightful. I also tried the waffles. It is not easy to make a great gluten free baguette or waffle. But they did it! Had I not know they were gluten free, I would never have suspected it. Everything else we ordered was also praiseworthy. The restaurant was pretty full of people, but still quite comfortable. My only complaint is that the room is very loud. I am not sure if loud restaurants is a “thing”, but it is not my thing. The building they are in is a beauty. It has the decorative tile exterior which is really nice to see. The inside space is open and clear and feels great. I need to go back some time for a bread making class. That would be fun. I definitely recommend eating here!

Third Street Social is a historic American restaurant located in Lee's Summit that serves up delicious American plates. The restaurant has a fireplace and patio, making it the perfect place to spend a weekend morning or evening.
This place was the perfect night out for 2. Atmosphere was romantic, but laid back, and the service was so relatable.

Friends said Third Street Social in Lee’s Summit was a good place to eat, our experience was not so good. Had reservations for 5:30 on a Friday and we were seated quickly. Immediately noticed that the light at our table was so dim you could barely read the menu. Waited nearly 15 minutes to get a drink order and it was hard to hear the waitress because it was so VERY loud inside the restaurant. It was difficult for the three at our table to have a conversation. I ordered the fried half chicken ($25) with one side (grilled broccoli) and my wife got the stuffed salmon ($36). My broccoli was burnt so bad it tasted like ashes, ironically it was cold. The fried chicken had a good flavor but was very overcooked, dry and though to chew. My wife said the stuffed salmon was “so so”. Wasn’t bad but not the best. We ordered some braised pork belly burnt ends as an appetizer ($16), that was very good but a very small portion. Five very small bites. The prices are very high for what you are served and for what you pay the preparation and taste was not that good. Pretty disappointing for the amount of money we spent.

The atmosphere is good… modern/suburban feel. Almost all of the workers are mid 20’s or younger… they all have ‘that’ personality. It’s not kid friendly, especially if you want to enjoy happy hour that starts at 3 in the afternoon. The only seating option for happy hour is the bar seating and you aren’t allowed to use a high chair over there. Summit grill is way more kid friendly. The ew oatmeal cream pie dessert was hard and not very soft like the actual oatmeal cream pies. We were told it was because they are a week old now and the pastry chef is making fresh ones today and to try having them on a Tuesday. Not very helpful when today is Monday and we’ve already ordered and paid for week old dessert 😑 the server was wicked nice and loved his vibe! You can also never go wrong with the social burger. Shrimp and grits is also a huge favorite!

Upscale for the area and always good. They have ahi tacos that are really good. Hopefully they bring back the poke nacho appetizer soon. Always good food and great service. We split a burger this trip and loved it

We were seated immediately upon entering the restaurant. Arrived during brunch time just in case we wanted breakfast food. Didn't take long for our waitress to great us and update us in the soup if the day. Because we'd been there before we knew exactly what we had a taste for. Decided to start with with shrimp appetizer, which I'm sad to hear may be going away with an upcoming menu change. Its one of my favorites, please try it if you're able. After the appetizer, we ordered the steak Street tacos and the chicken fried chicken also our favorites. There's just something so savory about the gravy used for the chicken and potatoes. But I can't leave out the flavor of the shredded steak in the Street tacos with the black beans and side of rice. Both are very filling and I don't think you could go wrong by choosing either meal.

Nestled on Grand Boulevard in Kansas City, ClusterTruck is a unique delivery-only restaurant that truly embodies culinary passion. Housed in a charming brick building, this eatery may not have dine-in options, but the quality of their food speaks volumes. Chef David has introduced an enticing off-menu salad for KC Salad Week, featuring a delightful mix of spring greens with bacon, cranberries, parmesan cheese, and house-made Lemon-Tahini Dressing topped with crispy fried chicken.
Absolutely delicious!! I ordered the make-it-yourself salad. There's lots of free toppings to choose from, which was a pleasant surprise. I added roasted chicken, avocados and parm. My dressing was Chipotle ranch. It was OUTSTANDING!! Better than I expected, by far!!! Thank you, Clustertruck!! I'll be a lifelong customer!!😉💯⭐️

Food was amazing, but I ordered guacamole but did not get the guacamole and since it costs $2 I was kind of disappointed. The pico and corn salsa were very flavorful and the rice and vegetables were nicely flavored and soft. It was very confusing finding the building since the GPS kept having me drive in circles around the block and there were not any obvious signs to direct me to the building. It wasn't apparent that we needed to pull in through the alley. Also the driveway where you pull into the parking lot area there is a steep slope that scraped the bottom of my lift on the back of my vehicle.

Baba's Pantry is a delightful culinary gem that brings the rich flavors of Palestinian cuisine to life. Founded by Baba, who immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1970s as a refugee, this eatery is inspired by his grandmother’s cherished recipes. With an affordable menu where most items are under $15, guests can indulge in mouthwatering dishes like shawarma served in wraps or pitas, complemented by fresh salads and crispy fries.
Was recommended this place by a friend. Did not expect to be absolutely blown away upon stepping in. The interior and design is gorgeous!! Could not stop taking photos. Baba and his family have managed to curate the most beautiful display of their culture and identity. Besides their stunning design, the food and service is also incredible! My favorite was their seasoned fries and hummus platter. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and Baba was especially lovely to meet. Love love loved all of it. Can’t wait to be back and recommend to everyone I know! أنا أحب بابا بانتري

Definitely check out this restaurant; you won’t be disappointed. It’s my new favorite place. I love it!!

No lie, one of the best little restaurants I have ever been to. We have never been to Kansas City before, & I found a blog that mentioned Baba's Pantry as the place to try in Brookside. The raves about the "best hummus in the world especially drew me". Well, I am here to witness, the hummus is indeed the best I have ever had! If you eat gluten free, you can order fresh cut cucumbers to dip, or choose delicious pita bread. The Baklava is extraordinary!! And the decor, also some of the most artistic, peaceful, attractive, colorful & unique that I've seen in the world around. Y'all, it's good. Skip the barbeque. Head to Baba's.

Seriously Authentic Delicious Food. Some people are hung up on political issues, but their food is top notch and all their products are sourced from authentic areas. Prices are fair and portions are very acceptable. Service is fast, but the place is usually crowded at peak times with relatively limited seating.

In town for the week and looking for something with heart, this place popped up as a local favorite and now I understand why. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine kindness and warm energy that you could feel in the room. It was a little busy, which is always a good sign, but we scored a sidewalk table and that is totally my vibe. The Baba falafel on pita was absolutely soul satisfying. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Inside, the decor is beyond charming. Whoever designed the space clearly knows how to mix color and texture with personality. Honestly, I want them to come decorate my house next. Grateful for this gem. It made our visit that much sweeter.

Such a cute place! So glad we made the stop in. Very unique flavors, unlike anything we have back home! The fries were INCREDIBLE! As someone who usually can’t enjoy fries without drenching them in ranch, these fries didn’t need anything! They were seasoned with an awesome blend of spices that tasted incredible without needing any sauces. We got a kebab pita & chicken shawarma wrap which were both incredible! I preferred the kebab & my partner preferred the shawarma — but we have no complaints about either! The sweet tea is not like normal sweet tea, so be prepared for something new! The daily lemonades were WOOOOONDERFUL! The service was also so great — very kind employees. Thanks for making a great visit!

Fiesta Azteca is a lively Mexican restaurant popular among K-State students for its affordable prices and welcoming atmosphere. The menu features classic Mexican dishes like loaded nachos, tacos, and tequila drinks. While the place may be small, it exudes charm and offers fast and friendly service. Customers rave about the flavorful carnitas tacos and commend the staff for accommodating special requests such as adding chipotle sauce to their dishes.
I have been here a handful of times now and never left disappointed or hungry! The food and service is consistently great. Generous portion sides. Love the salsa. Twice the chef has come out to personally take my order and offered to surprise me after asking a few simple questions about what I like and don’t like. Both times he brought me something that wasn’t even on the menu and tasted amazing! It’s become my favorite way to eat there - just let the chef surprise me!

2.15.2023 I wanted to like this place. I tried to like this place. The menu was so big and cluttered it was hard to read. It started off with salsa that was basically puree tomatoes with chunks of onion. The hot salsa was just ok. A bit better than the regular salsa but still basically flavorless. The beef in my burrito was watery. I'm not sure how that even happens. Runny flavorless slop. The only thing on my plate worth eating was the rice and it was mediocre at best. Also the rice wasn't even warm. My spouse had a steak burrito and the steak was chewy and flavorless. The place was run down. Our server took our order and never came back,someone else brought our food out. We will not be back. Oh our daughter enjoyed her corn dog and fries that came from a box at Costco.

Update 2/15/23 I went back in because people keep talking about how great this place is and how it's the best. Haven't been here in 4 years. This is my update. Salsa came out after drinks.. (only place iv encounter that) The salsa was definitely different by any other place. Watered down with chunks of unions and little amount of cilantro. The hot salsa was decent. Chips was salty. Ordered asada steak burrito with rice and beans. The steak was very thin and fatty and chewy. The rice was decent. Beans was watery and would move if you tap the plate. But they wasn't terrible. Seems made there. My daughter had fries and corn dog. I tried a bite. Reminded me of Costco. Wasn't terrible. Just nothing special. My spouse had beef burrito with rice. Beef was watery/mushy to say. Didn't care for the taste. The place was dead.. giving that reason I'm realizing everytime I pass it's dead. I don't think I need to State the obviously. Other place up the street is always busy. But again. To each their own. ------------------- 2019 Decent food. I'll admit it was good for being a mom and pop place. They have their whole family there so wait time was nothing. Drinks was brought before you finished.. 4 stars because the owner thought the AC bill was too high? Was kinda hot ..

The Fix! is a charming vegan eatery located in downtown Kansas City, housed in a former old-timey drugstore. It offers a laid-back atmosphere where everyone, including the family dog, is welcome. The menu features an array of plant-based breakfast options, entrees, and desserts alongside coffee.
This is funky and fun vegan food! Everything is plant based. My husband ate with us and he is a meat eater and enjoyed his meal. You will not be lacking the decadence of comfort food here. It is so yummy! I had the Nashville Hot "Chicken" sandwich. It was fire! It had hot sauce, pickles, macNcheese, ranch on a brioche bun. All of it was made in house and all plant based. This is really quality goodness. Do not miss out. It is casual, cool, the food is good, and vegan.

First time coming to eat at The Fix and my experience went quite well. The ordering process was smooth and it didn’t take too long to get our meals. The meals were absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the Chicken Sammie, it was quite spicy with a good amount of seasoning. The “chicken” of course was just a tiny bit tough to bite into, but that’s to be expected with fake meat. But it was still quite enjoyable especially with the coleslaw. The milkshake with the fries (separate and together) were TOO good. My Friend had the Crunchwrap with beans and veggie inside which was also quite delicious. Full of flavor and filling. Additional info: When needing silverware, cups, and to go boxes, you go up and get it yourself.

Caffetteria Modern Cafe is a vibrant and creative American cafe located in the Prairie Village Shops. The cafe offers a variety of breakfast items all day, including apple fritters, strawberry old fashioned donuts, breakfast pizza, sweet potato hash, chia seed pudding with berries, and avocado toast.
Caffetteria has been delicious since the day it opened. They are constantly rotating fresh flavors and using local ingredients. They have the BEST salmon in the city, seriously. The prices may seem high but consider that you are paying for quality, local ingredients and also a working environment which takes care of their employees. I love a quick lunch (Adam and even with salmon is my go to) and a sweet treat from here on my days off and love a take home meal I can heat up in the oven when I AM working. The seasonal fun gift items are so fun to look through. They also have the best hummus and pimento cheese. Don’t sleep on the homemade crackers either! We often come here for breakfast as well and love the burrito, sando, and the veggie hash. This is the seasonal apple turkey and Brie sandwich. To die for. 🤤

This was my first visit to Caffetteria Modern Cafe & Market in Kansas City, and I wish I lived closer because I would be a regular. I went for lunch with a friend and was pleasantly surprised to see a half sandwich and salad combo for $15. I ordered the 1/2 turkey avocado sandwich with the Adam and Eve salad. At first, I worried the portions might not be filling enough, but once the food arrived I was thrilled. The serving size was generous and both the sandwich and salad were absolutely delicious. Instead of a server here, you just go up to the register and order then they will bring your food over to your table. I also loved the corner of the cafe stocked with grab-and-go items and fun kitchen trinkets. Overall, such a great spot and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Caffeteria is an absolute gem! I ordered the Buddha Bowl, and it was nothing short of amazing. Every bite was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors — the vegetables were perfectly crisp, the grains cooked just right, and the dressing tied it all together with a deliciously balanced tang. The presentation was beautiful too, making it as much a feast for the eyes as for the palate. The atmosphere in the cafe is warm and modern, with just the right mix of cozy and stylish. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they do. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers both in taste and experience, this place should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back — and next time, I’m bringing friends!

This is a really cute cafe. I had a delicious giant salad, and the staff were all very nice. The desserts looked fantastic, but since I just had a salad I didn't ruin the health kick that I was on and instead I passed by the dessert case without getting anything. I wish I did. The salads are mostly in the 16-19 dollar range. The menus don't have prices on them?... but they have a QR code to scan that shows menu items with prices.

A group of my friends and I came and ate here and it was SO good 😍 A friend and I shared the pizza with mushrooms on it (can’t remember the name of it) and it was amazing, especially for not having any meat it was so good. You can tell they make their pizzas fresh and homemade and probably in a brick oven I think because the taste is very distinct and authentic. Also had a salad (again can’t remember the name) but based off the picture you can tell it was really good. It had feta cheese, avocado, corn, tortilla strips, and it was very fresh and healthy. They have lots of other cool stuff here too including some amazing looking desserts which I’ll have to try next time if I come again. Would definitely come back here again if I’m ever back in Prairie Village!

I was nervous at first because we were sharing tables but I got to meet some of the coolest people there and had a blast!! They even hyped me up for winning 4th place in the coloring contest haha. If you love board games, meeting new people, and looking for adult fun without all the craziness of downtown this is a great place to go!

Top-notch gaming tavern. Retail options were pretty limited but I understand it's got to be hard to compete with online sales - that said I found several games, miniatures and merchandise I liked at a very reasonable price. Really, though, this place is about providing a very cool, inclusive, friendly space for gaming. I came for a Paint And Take event, but arrived on the wrong day (Saturday is open DnD 5e play and there were tons of people there for it, while Thursday evening is when I should have come for painting miniatures.) That said, when I mentioned my goof, they immediately offered to get me the paints, brushes and a miniature to enjoy my time there a bit longer. While I did so, I met a number of patrons happy to talk about painting and gaming. Very good vibe here. Interesting selection of drinks, some spare miniatures for you to use if you don't have your own, and a solid offering of board games for all ages and interests. Would definitely recommend. Staff was really welcoming and engaging but not clingy/hovering.

Aqua Penny's is a new restaurant that offers a fusion of Thai and Asian cuisine, including signature Thai dishes not found elsewhere. The seafood dishes are particularly delightful and well-balanced, with appetizers and salads receiving high praise. The welcoming staff and upscale ambience contribute to the overall dining experience. The contemporary menu features fresh seafood flown into the Midwest, with standout items like Rockefeller Baked Oysters and Hushpuppy Basket as appetizers.
I experienced my first visit on Easter which was also my birthday. The staff went so far out of their way to make my day special I felt like a celebrity. Everything I tasted was made to perfection. This is rare. Perfectly cooked King Crab. Perfect large shrimp expertly seasoned. The seafood boil wasn't too spicy nor too mild. I can't wait to return. Ask for the Armenian waiter with the beard! lol

Aqua Penny’s was okay, but definitely my least favorite of all the Penny’s locations. The food was fresh and had decent flavor—good enough to try once, but not enough to bring me back. Service was kind, but there were quite a few mix-ups with the cocktails. The overall vibe was fine, but like the other Penny’s, the plastic plants make the place feel a bit cheap. Not a bad experience, just not one I’d rush to repeat.

Aqua penny’s is genuinely the most amazing dinner spot in Kansas. I’ve never been more satisfied by every aspect of a dinner, the service is impeccable. My boyfriend and I have gone twice for our anniversary and the first time we had Cody as a server, AMAZING SERVER BY THE WAY!!!! So obviously we had to request Cody as our server second time around. He not only is so social but he’s so helpful with the menu and knows details inside and out about every entree, starter, drinks and dessert. If you’re wondering what to get, trust Cody’s insight!!! Trust me!!! And him!!! Now for the food, oh my lord, so amazing. I’m so full and my mouth is still watering thinking about it. Their mussels are to DIE FOR!!!!! The oysters are shucked then and there and come with the most amazing toppings, don’t miss out on their spicy house sauce, your taste buds will be thanking you later. The atmosphere is just beautiful, we’ve eaten both inside and outside and both are just amazing. The ceilings inside are so cool and the tables and chairs are so comfortable. The lighting is so cool. The patio is beautiful. There’s so many beautiful plants everywhere, inside and out, the view just tops everything off. To make this restaurant the best in Kansas in my opinion and I LOVE food and LOVE going out to eat. Cody will forever be our server we come back to see and he keeps us coming back every time. The experiences get better and better. We got a flower in a vase and a complimentary dessert for our anniversary which just made the experience so much more personal. Amazing. 1000000000/10 experience and restaurant and food and service!!! DINE WITH CODY!!!!

Wow!! What an amazing experience! This place is really lovely. I have been afraid to eat seafood in KC other than catfish or local fare since there is no ocean nearby. Aqua Penny's is FANTASTIC!! We had the lobster Rangoon appetizer, a cup of gumbo and we shared the Seafood Pad Thai with shrimp, squid and bay scallops. It was truly delicious! They fly in their seafood. Penny makes sure it's fresh. Our server, Christina was just perfect. You should ask for her. She brought me a Thai spice tray with jalapeños, dry Thai spices, red pepper paste and spicy fish sauce with peppers. I was able to spice mine up and my wife kept hers medium as ordered. For dessert we had the pistachio cake with the poached pear, a nice gluten free option. My wife and I will be back.

We had reservations for Valentines weekend. First time visit and I liked the large heart display and the restaurant is beautiful inside. To be fair, I’m giving my dish 3 stars I ordered the KINGANN STIR-FRY. Honestly I disliked it so much. It was so bland and do not recommend. I came with the intentions of ordering the Canadian salmon, but I was told they updated the menu and replaced it with a Cajun salmon. I asked our server if I could order a grilled salmon and Jasmine rice and she said they had already prepped all the salmon to be cooked Cajun style for that evening. I’m not a fan of Cajun food. My husband had the lobster bisque soup which he said was very good, but he felt like it was a very small portion for $18. He ordered the fish and chips and really liked it. I felt like the wait time after ordering drinks and then later ordering food and then receiving the food was a long lapse of time in between.

Went on a Friday Evening, the place was only half full. Made us a little worried, but the cool decor and atmosphere, and patio seating were nice. Our waitress was pleasant, just not very attentive. Water glasses were constantly empty, tea and other drinks took forever to arrive, and they sat empty for a very long time, not good when it was 86 degrees out, even if it was pleasant in the shade. The quality of the food was good, but not for the amount you pay for the dishes. This restaurant is in desperate need of a good manager.

Nestled in the heart of Mission, Werner's Fine Sausages is a culinary gem that transports you straight to Germany with its authentic flavors. The deli is renowned for its homemade potato salad, crafted from a traditional recipe passed down through generations by longtime employee Gretel Harper. This old-school dish perfectly complements their mouthwatering selection of sausages and sandwiches.
Best deli in Mission, hands down. Fresh sandwiches and grilled Brats daily. Smoked pork chops are great and deli meats fresh selection. Great prices. A definite must try.

If you're looking for an authentic European German deli, you can't do much better than this place located in Old Town mission. We are consistently pleased with the quality of meat and other items you can buy there. The only less than optimal experience we've had is when we were given some Italian sausages that were still frozen, thinking we could just take them home and put them right on the grill. That's pretty much a small complaint. We also love the pickles and the German potato salad that they serve. Beats any barbecue joint's version, IMO. We will definitely be back to shop again and again.

This place is a dump and the owner needs to check his attitude. I spent $15 for a piece of meat they microwaved right in front of me, with 2 slices of cheap store bread. I get better lunches for cheaper at the gas station next door. Don't waste your time or money here. The female staff is friendly though.

Tucked away in the vibrant Crossroads Arts District, Green Dirt on Oak is a delightful destination for food enthusiasts seeking a true farm-to-table experience. This charming eatery specializes in award-winning sheep's milk cheese and lamb sourced directly from their farm in Weston, Missouri. Guests can enjoy a refreshing cocktail or glass of wine alongside an exquisite cheese plate while soaking up stunning views of downtown Kansas City from the rooftop patio.
Our first experience dining at Green Dirt on Oak and I am definitely a fan! I really admire their concept of farm to table sustainability and locally sourced ingredients. To start, I really loved the atmosphere and this is a great date night vibe as well as somewhere to enjoy as a group. Service was very friendly and helpful as our server was kind enough to explain their concept and menu with this being our first time. We knew we absolutely had to try the cheese croquettes. I would say they are quite good but I was not blown away. The root vegetables, however, I would say are a MUST. Very delicious. For my entree, I had the Lamb Ragu and it gave me GOOSEBUMPS it was so good. Truly one of the best dishes I’ve had anywhere. Highly recommend. We would definitely dine here again! Compliments to the staff and chef.

Excellent experience. The food was good, but the drinks and ambiance are what make this place great. The Fig Jam and Cheese Kitchen are excellent takes on an old fashioned and dirty martini, respectively. The cheeses are great and include both hard and soft cheeses. I really enjoyed the Prairie Tomme and Dirt Lover. The lamburger is good but not great. I appreciated that they have a Beaujolais on the menu, but the wine menu is otherwise quite limited. The service was excellent and the place is really cool on the inside. There’s also a rooftop lounge area that you can enjoy after dinner. There’s no bar up there but you can grab a drink at the bar downstairs and take it up with you.

Yesterday, I visited this restaurant for a ladies' night with 2 friends, one of them was visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was beautiful, and both male greeters—downstairs and upstairs—were warm, friendly, and welcoming, which had me excited to dine there. Unfortunately, the experience shifted when our female waitress arrived. Though polite, she lacked warmth and energy, making us feel unwelcome. We noticed she and another female server engaged other tables with enthusiasm but consistently provided mediocre service to US. The one who was not our server never even looked our way. Not that she had to or needed to, but to see her engage other tables that she was not responsible for truly stood out that she avoided ours. Our server answered our questions, but just didn’t seem like she was interested in serving US. At one point one of the female waitress encouraged a table of guests to check out the restrooms as an added piece to the atmosphere. (And she wasn’t even their waitress) as stated; they both tag teamed the tables consistently checking in on them and just simply provided a sense of welcome; which ultimately felt intentional, and as women who reflected a different complexion we stood out in the room, it was hard not to feel like we didn’t belong based on how the two waitress handled us. The discomfort led us to cut our visit short, ordering only one cocktail and a charcuterie board instead of staying for dinner. Before leaving, we checked out the rooftop and restrooms. As we did this the male bartender was kind and engaging, echoing the hospitality we felt upon arrival. As we left, both male staff members gave us a warm send-off, while our waitress didn’t even acknowledge us. Which again seemed odd. I am well aware of good service and hospitality. A simple have a great evening from her would have been nice. From the start she was unaware of her adore, or maybe not! Would I return? Possibly—but only if the energy from the female staff isn’t repeated. It was disheartening to share such an experience with my out of town guest, especially when the rest of the staff set a great example of hospitality.

Alllll the cheese. We got a mongers choice of 3 cheeses and it was the perfect appetizer. The plates are meant to split. The beets were amazing, as was the cheese croquets. The gin and tonic was just ok - I probably wouldn’t get it again. I did not love the delacotta squash. I would definitely come back here, though! Did was awesome

Stopped in during cheese hour looking for a good cheese board. Not being a local, we had a really hard time figuring out what was going on. First, we were the only two people in the entire restaurant but couldn’t be greeted or guided upstairs (where cheese hour is supposedly held) for the life of us. We were just stared at, slow to be talked to/given instructions, and then slow to be served upstairs. The board states that it serves from 2-4 people but personally, the bread portion triumphs the meat and cheese selection and carries the board. But choking down eight thick slices of sourdough isn’t necessarily my forte. I was a little disappointed with the amount of cheese provided; I’ve been served a significantly larger amount of cheese in NYC for cheaper. There was an abundance of workers hanging around chatting in the seating area so it made the meal for my boyfriend and I a little weird. Overall, it was a fine experience but I won’t be coming back.

This place has a fun upscale vibe! No stone was untouched with the decor and industrial look. It was a little pricey but we felt the food was worth the cost and also due to the location in downtown KC. A perfect place for date night, a small family or work gathering or a great place to meet your friends to enjoy a night out with a few drinks, laughing and chatter. The atmophere is simple and quiet enough to hear others talk and visit nicely. We enjoyed the charcuterie board and had an afagotta for dessert. When sitting at the tables you can see the cheese room where all the cheese rests and ages. Very unique place! We enjoyed our time here and will return next time we come to KC.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary to try something new and support farm to table. The location was great, atmosphere fantastic, service wonderful and everyone was very nice. Cheese croquettes were the highlight of the dinner. Now for the downsides 1) Menu claimed to be made for sharing, food portions were not larger than normal. 2) Based on the claim that food should be shared and the $40 price of a half chicken my wife and I decided to split it. It wasn't not shareable and incredibly overpriced for what it was. 3) Drinks from the bar tasted like I was just drinking the alcohol straight. 4) House fries were seasoned well, also overcooked and overpriced. 5) Feels like a confused menu with some food being rustic and others being fine dining, while everything had an inflated price. Overall, it was an okay experience. Will probably not come back.

The Crayola Cafe was a neat Experience! I went on a fairly busy night so it took a bit to be seated. However, once I was seated the service was great! The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. If you have kids this is a neat place to go. Just about every item on the menu is directed to a kids choice of foods. If you are an adult, you may feel the menu is to simple. Your kids will also love that there is an empty place mat and a pack of crayons to color with at the table.

Went in on a Sunday for brunch on a rainy day waited about 5 minutes in the line to order. It is an order at the counter and find a seat set up. The coffee orders were backed up so we waited about 15 mins for coffee and our food came out first. Staff were really friendly and kind. Coffee was a little less than amazing no latte art on my dine in coffee and the food server took our number so the coffee server couldn’t find us I went to the counter to get it. When the food arrived all the bowl style plates are the same color (just aesthetics) and the food looks amazing but is really messy and hard to eat. We ordered the breakfast burrito. The fried pickle biscuit and the power banana toast. All looks appealing but crumbled apart as we tried to eat it. I was also surprised that the egg on the biscuit was a runny egg which really disrupted the flavor. Otherwise it was a great biscuit, tiny bit sweet. The breakfast burrito is normally smothered in salsa verde but we ordered it on the side. The burrito is mostly egg, which we liked but the other ingredients were lighter on. The banana toast was good and large amount of banana. Overall thought it was great just hard to eat and messy.

We thought this was a restaurant, a bar and grill. It’s not. Take a look at menu. It’s the menu for the movie concessions, minus popcorn and candy. Here is a picture of my flatbread. While it was fine, it was overpriced and served on a plastic plate. Our waitress was nice but not engaged at all. We never received our cocktails. 10 mins after we ordered cocktails, she said we had to go up to the bar and order our own drinks. We had to go ask for utensils and napkins. Folks, this was a Saturday night in December in Power and Light. Great space but a big disappointment.

Music was great but that was the only upside. Terrible service. Plastic movie theatre cups. We put in a food and drink order. We had our drinks for about thirty minutes when the waitress asked if we were ready for the check. When I asked where the food was she informed me that they were so busy they closed the kitchen. I had a reservation and it was on Valentine’s Day. Had to call almost every restaurant nearby to see if they had any openings. Completely ruined the night. Would not recommend

This place was such a disappointment. First off we had a reservation for regular dinner time on a Friday night. The service was a joke. Waitress did not seem to have any idea what she was doing and had to check the bar for pretty much everything we ordered to see if it was available. Which by the way it was not. Half the drinks on the menu couldn’t be made and by the 4th time that the waitress came back to tell us they were out of that drink we asked what ingredients are you out of and she told us all of them. The drink had gin and tonic and some other things. We ended up ordering a straight up gin and tonic and lo and behold they could make that. So what exactly were we out of?? Also seemed like a full bar but couldn’t make any of the drinks we asked for. Bartender was also on their phone the entire time. The food was terrible. Came out on paper plates. What a classy dining experience. No sauce on any of the burgers or the chicken sandwich everything was extremely dry. And don’t bother asking your waitress for sauce as she will have you take your own entree off her tray and then promptly ignore you the rest of the night until you have to ask 5 times for the check. What can be expected though when the manager spends more time singing on stage than actually managing anything in the “restaurant”. While is voice was absolutely amazing it was insane to have such awful service while the manager is just singing on stage. Last terrible and weird thing was the security at the door…what on earth are we securing? It felt weird and untrustworthy. Especially since the security guard securing god knows what was spending too much time flirting with the hostess and gabbing with the manager. All in all…do not come here, not worth it, waste of money, waste of time. Laughable experience.

I am not someone who normally writes a review, but in an attempt to save this place from going out of business I’m going to. To the owner: get rid of the bald bartender. He was a dick to the server and took his sweet time making drinks. We were the only people in the bar and it took 30-45 min to serve drinks. The kitchen took forever to get our food out to us. The burgers were dry and cold. The music was great but that was the only thing that was enjoyable. All of our food was served on plastic plates. Our server was really great and was set up for failure.

We went on a Thursday for their salsa night with a live band. It was a lot of fun and the music was fantastic! I enjoyed my cherry sour (has bourbon instead of vodka), but found my glazed salmon plate to be filled with 3 servings of broccoli and too many sweet potato fries. I chose both sides, and they did taste good, but the modest salmon was pushed to a corner of the square plate while the sides took the rest over. Simply put, it was too much food, and I feel $26 for veggies and fries is a little much to pay for.

Honestly the worst dinning experience I have had in Kansas city. Waitress told us that they could only make 2 of the 12 drinks on the menu.

Bacaro Primo is a charming Italian restaurant in Kansas City, offering a perfect setting for special occasions without feeling too formal. The menu features Italian-inspired dishes with a Midwestern twist, focusing on seasonal ingredients and a variety of salumi options. The dining room exudes modern elegance while maintaining a cozy atmosphere. Despite its limited space and occasional parking challenges, the restaurant is praised for its authentic European ambiance and bold flavors.
My friend and I had lunch at Bacaro Primo and grabbed a table out front on the sidewalk. It was the perfect spot for a summer afternoon. My friend ordered the shrimp scampi and I went with the paccheri. Both were excellent, full of rich, well-balanced flavor. We wrapped things up with the olive oil pistachio cake and coffee, which was a lovely finish. The only downside was that they don’t offer any non-dairy milk options for coffee. That said, the staff were fantastic, friendly, attentive, and able to provide great service without interrupting the flow of our lunch meeting. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would gladly return.

We were in the neighborhood and went to Google to find an Italian restaurant because that is what we were craving. Great location, and absolutely love the vibe. I don't know if they can do large parties as it's a very small place but it is also a very cool space. It's definitely Italian but I would say a more modern Italian - like Italian with a flare. It wasn't absolutely delicious but it was very good. One of the things that is very big to me, as far as service, is if our drinks are ever empty. One thing I like about the restaurant, and restaurants like this, is they put a container of water on the table. The problem is the water glasses are very small and our container of water was empty and I had to ask for it to be refilled. That is a big indication if there is good service (the restaurant was not busy). I will say our waiter was very sweet and kind. I didn't absolutely fall in love with any of the dishes so I don't know if I will be back and I don't know if I can highly recommend. But it's a nice place.

Food and service were both great!! We had the focaccia and arincini to start. Both were yummy, tho the arincini came in a white sauce and I didn't get much flavor from that. I would have preferred a nice marinara sauce. Their classic house salad was tasty, it had the addition of some celery which gave it an interesting flavor profile. Ordered the pasta bolognese for my entrée and it was delicious, I added some red pepper flakes for heat. Tiramisu was light and fluffy, great flavor. Will definitely be back!!

Angie took fantastic care of us! She was very detailed and knowledgeable when we asked about certain items. She did not linger but was always around when we needed her. The Rosa pizza was outstanding. Spicy enough with the subtle hint of honey. The meatballs were some of the best I’ve ever had, over a bed of ricotta that was just velvety and great. I had never had a variation of mussels with potato’s however I was pleasantly surprised. Nice and balanced with a thickened broth from the potato’s. We also tried the Olive Frittes, Shrimp Scampi, Bolognese, Gelato Trio and Olive Oil cake which were all superb. The restaurant feels European and cozy. 10/10!

First time here and we loved it! We started with the focaccia and Caesar salad… Both were delicious! The olive oil/garlic confit/balsamic dip was absolutely amazing on the focaccia. Then I had the linguine with clams and it was delicious, but not super flavorful, and my dad had the fettuccine with crushed tomatoes and basil, and Italian sausage. We had a couple of drinks each as well, and really wanted to have the tiramisu but just didn’t have room! Next time, I’ll definitely get dessert.

Bar Medici is truly a Kansas City standout. The lobster pasta is absolutely life-changing — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Another stand out is that they serve amazing artisan coffee which is unheard of for a restaurant. I tried a vanilla latte, and it was smooth, bold, and not overly sweet. The space itself feels chic yet approachable, with attentive service that makes the whole experience even better. Prices are reasonable for the quality, expect cocktails in the $14–18 range and entrées around $25–40 but worth every penny for the level of flavor and presentation. A must-visit for both dining and drinks.

Bar Medici, you saucy little masterpiece! This place is chef’s kiss from start to finish. The service? Impeccable. Like, “are we royalty?” level of care. Seriously, they made us feel like we were the only table there. We ordered the Crab Spaghetti and Pesto Cavatelli — and let me tell you, the Crab Spaghetti was giving rich lobster bisque energy in the best way. Less traditional spaghetti, more dreamy ocean hug in a bowl. But the real showstopper? That Pesto Cavatelli. Fresh, zesty, lemony, and topped with crispy prosciutto magic. I could eat it every day and never get tired of it. I’m still thinking about it, honestly. Lastly, the cherry on top was going upstairs to The Mercury Room for an after dinner drink! Views to die for. 10/10 would come back and order both again — and probably everything else on the menu while I’m at it.

Caldwell's Burgers, nestled within the vibrant atmosphere of River Bluff Brewing, is a must-visit for burger enthusiasts. This spot offers a delightful menu featuring fresh salads topped with cheddar jack cheese and an option to add chicken for those looking for something lighter. However, the real star here is undoubtedly their cheeseburger—specifically the smash burger variety that bursts with flavor and comes generously loaded with toppings like pepper jack cheese.
WOW! 5 stars all the way. Caldwell Burgers is located inside River Bluff Brewing. You can order from the table or right from the counter. We got the original cheeseburger, double, with pepper jack cheese and a side of onion rings. The cheeseburger is a smash burger and so full of flavor. Greasy, cheesy, heavenly. The onion rings were to die for. Freshly breaded and fried in house. I can confidently say this is the best Cheeseburger I’ve had in KC. 10/10!

August 2024: Stopped by for beer at River Bluff Brewing and was super excited to try the food at Caldwell's. I ordered the Arthur's burger which came with bacon 🥓 and onion rings 😀. As a side, I had more onion rings 😋. My burger was super delicious. Portion was big! Onion rings were perfectly cooked. Went well with ketchup! Would definitely come back again for more food. The pairing with the beer 🍺 was exactly what I was craving!

Caldwell's Burgers is located inside River Bluff Brewery and runs out of its own counter just past the bar. Is this going to be the best burger you can get in KC? No. Is it going to be the best burger and beer pair? I'd say so. The food is quick and flavorful with lots of pub food options to pair well with your beer at River Bluff.

Super fun atmosphere and delicious food. I had the slider trio, and they were all fantastic! My husband and I enjoyed watching the KC Current game while we ate. And of course, we both enjoyed a beer. We will definitely be back. My only request would be to have more non-alcoholic beverage options.

Fries were great, brew burger was ok. I didn't like giving my name and phone number to pick up food. Conveniently located in the brewery. $18 for a burger and fries.

The food was incredible. perfect menu, hot fresh food made with creativity and quality. The beers were fantastic and the environment was very open and comfortable. Great prices too! i recommend the pretzel sticks with the beer cheese and the house made honey mustard. I will definitely be returning.

Located in the #riverbluffbrewing in the river market. Staff is great. Sliders, fries and onion rings top notch. Our favorite was the pineapple and pork. Next time I will try the firecracker burger. Guy’s is super supportive of KC. Get down here and give it a try. And grab a great beer while you’re at it. Golden Lion is awesome.

This may be the single worst burger I’ve ever eaten. It was tepid at best, not hot, not fresh. There is no way it was cooked to order. I suspect it was made earlier, under cooked so that it wouldn’t dry out, and then slightly warmed on the grill before it hit the bun and sat in the window. It seemed undercooked still, and made me sick when I got home. The bun was really fresh, and the tomato was good. Other than that, it was horrible.

Saigon 39 is a cozy Vietnamese eatery known for its delicious and straightforward dishes. The menu features favorites like spring rolls, pho, and pork dumplings. One of the highlights is their peanut sauce, which pairs perfectly with Asian-inspired salads or noodles. Customers appreciate the friendly service and quick to-go orders, praising the fresh and hot food upon arrival. With plenty of vegetarian options available, it's a go-to spot for those seeking flavorful Vietnamese cuisine.
Our office orders food to-go A LOT from Saigon 39, and they have always been friendly and fast. Their food is always fresh and hot (even with the long walk back to the office). Their peanut sauce is the BEST!!
