“Walking into what looks from the outside to be a tiny, intimate place, the expectation was high. Dark interior is elegant and the drink and food menu seemed quite good. That is until the food arrived. While salad was very good with fresh ingredients, everything else, from spaghetti with meatballs, deviled eggs, to calamari, they were with overcooked, lacked flavor, or simply wrong. Pasta should be more al dente while meatballs should be, well, meatballs instead of weirdly shaped salty ground beef. Deviled eggs shouldn’t taste chalky (that said, it was better as a cold leftover). And calamari would’ve been a better dish as grilled, not deep fried fast food. Given its excellent service and classy ambiance, let’s hope they figure out how to enhance their food situation.”

“The sushi rolls are too notch and the crab Rangoon and edamame apps are tasty! Great service and atmosphere! Dulce’ is a great and attentive server!!”
“Heaven on a spoon good ❤️”

“This place hands down. has the best of the best and the freshest food. #1 in kcmo kata nori for me is a number 1 pick..”
“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!”
“Went to Barbacoa, 5500 Troost, for brunch Sunday morning, what a delightful experience. I ordered Monie’s plate. It was mouthwatering. The serving was so generous, that I took half of it home. The corn tortillas were soft and warm enough to make a taco, the beans were flavorful and not spicy, the carnitas were fall apart tender and very tasty, perfectly fried potatoes, and fluffy scrambled eggs. The salsa was very tasty and not overly spicy. The coffee was even tasty (Costco Kirkland medium roast). Unlike some breakfast restaurants, the background music was so low and mellow (helps with digestion), I could hear my friends talk. We have to go back during the week for dinner. UPDATE - I forgot one very important thing, the service was excellent. Our group was one of two in the restaurant, but shortly afterwards other start to arrive. There was only one friendly waitress, who, despite the growing crowd, was able to get back to us about more coffee and to check on us”

“My husband and I decided to drop by for some lunch and we were quite content :) The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute and colorful, while the service friendly and prompt. I ordered the Sumac Chicken Kabob after asking the waitress for a recommendation and my husband ordered the Arayes and fries. They were both flavorful and a good portion size. We would definitely come back when we get another chance!”
“The service and the food… 12/10! This was our first visit, but anytime we visit KC, we will be back! 🫶🏻”
“Seasons 52 in Altamonte is a wonderful place to dine. I celebrate all my special occasions there. The service is always amazing and the food is delicious. My friend and I celebrated our birthday and the waiter Jerome sang Happy Birthday to us. His voice was amazing. If you are celebrating a birthday always ask for him. I highly recommend Seasons 52 Altamonte, FL.”

“This was a great choose for a small relaxed family dinner. 4 stars for food, only because some meal portions were smaller than desired for the price however hats off to the cook the evening of 07/11/26; the flavor and presentation was perfect. 3 stars for service just because our hostess could have been more welcoming; personable and informative about the menu offerings etc, maybe she's just not the talking type who knows but everything else about the visit here was much enjoyed.”
“Had a great time at Guy Fieri’s Dive & Taco Joint while enjoying the soccer atmosphere at Kansas City’s Power & Light District. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the carne asada fries, and both were delicious. The carne asada was flavorful, and the fries were loaded and perfect for sharing.
The service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively with lots of fans around. Great food, great energy, and a fun place to hang out while watching soccer. We would definitely come back next time we’re in Kansas City! ⚽🌮😊🔥”

“We were hopping from winery to winery today and the two ladies working today made our experiment at TerraVox a 10/10! They were very knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed their job a lot! We had never been here before, and were visiting a friend in KC and will definitely be back next time we’re visiting the area! Left with two bottles of the port wine. Lovely winery and experience!”
“Went there with a couple of friends last night to check the place out, and it is so awesome! Wonderful, friendly, cozy environment great, live music super tasty tacos . Highly recommend this place! Just head out with some friends and enjoy a stellar craft beer. Also check out the art on the walls!”
“Ragazza is my favorite restaurant. We’ve been several times. Tonight we had Liz as a server and Channing helped out as well. Both of them were awesome. The food.. as always was awesome. Drinks superb. If you haven’t tried Ragazza you should. The Eggplant parm is my favorite but everything is honestly delicious.”
“Lauren was such a fantastic server! She was very attentive, kind, and asked the kitchen on several occasions about modifications for dietary restrictions. The Lychee cocktail was delicious! Really enjoyed the entrees and sashimi dishes we ordered. Would recommend the banana/marshmallow desert. Amazing!”
“Loved how they incorporated members of the audience who had no clue what was going on.”

“I've been coming to this place for years and one thing that never gets old the women they're just so darn beautiful and the down to earth you want a good laugh a good conversation or hell trust to have someone ask you are you doing all right that's the place to go highly recommended”
“We dined in. First off, there were friends of the employees in the restaurant, not eating, but preventing the employees from assisting customers. After standing there for several minutes we were finally asked if we had been helped. Our order was taken and these visitors were staring at us because apparently we interrupted there visiting. The food was good, but the customer service needs work.”
“Wish this page would allow me to send a PM. But it doesn't so . . . I'll copy and paste what I posted to another page. Today I went to McDonald's across from Chouteau Crossings. My card was declined. Which puzzled me. I don't keep much money in my account, but there should have been much more than enough to cover $6 and change. (Figured out later that it was because they put a hold my last deposit - even though it was drawn on their bank - AND - there was a big funds freeze from a recent small gasoline purchase.) I was surprised and embarrassed and apologized. I was about to pull away when the young man looked at me and said: "Don't sweat it. I got you." Pulled out his wallet and swiped his card for my meal. People are good. I'm going to do something to make that young man glad for his act of kindness soon if I can. If you happen upon him (his mask was a modified neck gator (had ear straps, but also covered the back of his neck) with a sort of blue tribal print on a black background and came to a point on his chest, somewhat like a bandanna would - tell him thanks for me.”
“what's not to love??? great atmosphere, amazing food and central location! you MUST check it out:)”

“Tonight we came to Thai Orchid for my birthday and sat in Dylan’s section and he was outstanding! So friendly and attentive. He gave us just enough time without being pushy. Our food was wonderful and fresh. I cannot recommend this location enough. We ordered the soft spring rolls, steamed dumplings, shrimp yellow curry and the shrimp pad Thai. Delicious!”

“This little local gem is such a gift to Kansas City! The coffee is phenomenal, food delicious, but NOTHING beats the warmth and inclusion the staff offers freely to each guest! I always leave this beautiful establishment with a full heart, and the sustenance I need to make it through another day of caring for the KCMO community. Thank you, Anchor Island, for loving us so well! We love you! ⚓️ 🏝️🥹💖”
“Baba's Pantry is an absolute gem. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kansas City who wants to experience something exceptional beyond the city's famous BBQ. My personal favorite was the cinnamon roll—it was incredible—but everything else I tried was equally delicious. The host was incredibly warm and hospitable, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the restaurant had a lively, vibrant energy. It was truly a pleasure to dine there, and I'll definitely be back.”
“I'm not so sure about the Westport location after witnessing an employee kind of heavy set with dreads died at the tips snorting cocaine in the back by the dumpsters and selling drugs he had to be the cook and I just do not want any fairy dust on my waffles or my chicken I rather go braid water or bite the curb that is not what I expected to see when pulling up and I definitely don't want to spend my money with an establishment that knowingly hires drug addicts”
“Oh, black hole to walk in is to enter a forest made of wheat and fire something in there rises the way morning rises slow and golden and certain thank you for feeding us like the earth feeds the trees without asking why best bakery in kc hands down the wild yeast knows -Johnson Browne”

“Awesome food and service!!! We had visited Jack Stacks 12 years ago with our family while visiting Kansas City. We were so impressed with the food and service in 2012. Came back in 2026 to visit our son and ate at the Jack Stacks in Martin City. It was as amazing the first time we came 14 years ago. Our waitress Michelle was wonderful, friendly, but also very professional and gave us good pointers about the food we were ordering. Thank you all!!!”

“I try to explore local eateries and coffee shops whenever I’m on work trips, and I have to hand it to Fitti’s. The atmosphere is so homey and cozy, the coffee was amazing and I also tried one of their brownies - everything was fantastic. The day I visited was kind of rainy, so the vintage lights glowing and the soft music playing was reminiscent of when I watch those “coffee shop jazz” videos on YouTube. I’m excited to return!”
“I have nothing but positive things to say about Taco Rico. Food is fresh and oh so good. Reminds me of being in my grandmas' kitchen. When I say everything is good, I mean EVERYTHING is good. Don't even get me started on the staff!!! They will always have my vote. Yes, sometimes they are closed during their normal business hours, they (family & staff) run business and life happens. Always 5 stars in my book.”
“This is my favorite coffee shop in all of the KC metro. The vibes ALWAYS vibe and the community that always gathers in there is such a breath of fresh air. I drive 20 minutes to get there and I'd drive an hour, daily, to keep going if I had to. Thank you Renegade Team! Incredible space! 💙”
“The Town Topic Hamburgers early morning 5am crowd is truly one of the last great American dining experiences. The three egg cheese omelet with shatteringly crispy perfectly cooked hash browns was a transcendent experience, and I wasn’t even hungover. The atmosphere and professional staff lend further into the experience as one that is both memorable and delicious all around.”

“My husband and I drive from Omaha at least twice a year for date weekend and we always dine at Stock Hill. We love love love the ambience, service, food, all of it. It hits the mark for that dreamy, darkish, amber glow ambience, especially in the later months. This past weekend we went to KC on a whim and knew they were booked and decided we would be fine with a seat at the bar. When we inquired about a table for 2, the hostess explained that they were booked and could sit at the bar. We were totally great with that! But the “head honcho” came out of nowhere and told us he actually had a table for 2. The cherry on top? He proceeded to seat us at the table we first sat at when we went there for date weekend years ago. Thank you! 🥰”
“Absolutely Amazing! This is the best bbq I have ever had from a restaurant hands down. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of beans and I can not wait to try everything else on the menu. Even the pickles are Amazing. You have to try this place for yourself. You won't regret it.”
“Stunning space & fantastic food & staff. Must have a great local beef connection because it’s priced perfectly & very reasonably for the area”

“My wife and I celebrated our 54th anniversary tonight at Eddie V’s. The food was terrific and our waiter Eric Ewing took awesome care of us. He guided us through the menu selections and counseled us on our selections. The manager Adam Von Spreecken checked on us often to make sure our dinning experience was spectacular. My wife and I can’t wait to return for another fabulous dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“I think it's worth trying at least once. I think the food was really good. Everything was very nice. The server was absolutely fantastic. Service was fantastic. I think it was a little weird but not as you talk to the chef it becomes less so. But yeah, I would recommend this place food's pretty good. I really like the rice. It's a good time. More of a show but like a really yummy show.”
“Outstanding service from our waiter, Chris! (a solid "Hardy" doppelganger). From the check-in desk to the lively bar. Great service and people that seem to love their jobs made our experience memorable celebrating birthdays & an anniversary. Food was excellent and the 10-layer carrot cake knocked it out of the park. Needless to say, we will back! Coming in from Wisconsin and ending our trip at Ocean Prime made the weekend!”
“Beautiful music and perfect ambiance! Will definitely come again.”

“I have been dying to try this place but it is way across town for me. It was well worth the trip. I got “The Mind Latte” a mushroom concoction with mushroom cold foam. This is unique, creative and tasty. The whole vibe is awesome. I am so happy I made the trip. I will be back.”
“Burgers are good, onion rings were excellent. Last time we went, they were out of onion rings. This time, we called before we went and was told they had onion rings. Twenty minutes later as we were placing our order, we were told they just ran out of onion rings. We left. How do you run out of onion rings? It’s really simple. If you consistently run out, order more. We will not be going back.”
“FOOD = excellent. breakfast potatoes are phenomenal)
SERVICE = perfect. Col was approachable, helpful, and spot-on
ATMOSPHERE = cozy and comfortable (lively but not over-the-top, comfortable and welcoming.
Overall, I wonderful surprise for us. We just moved to KC and LOVED this place. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Jim and the team there care, a rare commodity in this day and age. A friend of mine accidentally left behind his son’s teddy bear, 6 waitresses and Jim studied the picture and took down our numbers. Jim was in the back, one of the waitresses (wish I knew her name) said to hold on that Jim would want to be involved. Think about that, a waitress willingly involving a manager, and the manager CARED. 10/10 would recommend, good food, better people. I wish this business nothing but the best. 🙏”
“I stumbled upon this little shop after begging the GPS to find the closest coffee shop on my way to work. Being greeted by a calm, sweet, warm eyed pup and great coffee was just what I needed. I will definitely be making this a regular stop. The coffee is great (I had an iced mud pit) and the biscuits and gravy were the perfect comfy breakfast! Highly recommend checking this place out!”

“I love this spot! the drinks are made with so much thought behind them. lovely atmosphere. great music.”
“Ordered the loaded shawarma- it was delicious! The garlic toum was flavorful and it went perfectly well with the chicken and fries.. with taxes it did add to 18$- maybe that was slightly pricy for the amount of food ..”
“Lots to like about this place. It’s a beautiful space with great service and drinks, and easy parking. Highly recommend — especially when they have live music, which is often. Adrian Bartholomew is our favorite!”
“My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at The Melting Pot, and the staff was amazing and the service was great! They made our anniversary so special!! I can not thank them enough. The manager surprised us with chocolate covered strawberries, our table decorated with roses, and gave me a rose! Our hostess made us a special two year plate with a delicious raspberry sauce. I can’t recommend this place enough!”
“We just ate there for lunch and both of us are excited to recommend it to friends and family! The food was really amazing. We both had jerk chicken, cabbage, and plantains. All three were terrific. The service was so very friendly and accommodating! The atmosphere is quite creative and welcoming. Please give them your business!”
“I came from Colorado and was introduced to cliffs taphouse, I got a chicken bacon club sandwich. This was the best sandwich I have ever had! After eating at this restaurant my only complaints are that we don’t have it in Colorado ☹. every day after eating this sandwich I have dreamed of eating another. If your ever in Kansas City and you don’t visit this restaurant you are making a HUGE mistake.”
“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.”
“Perfectly and freshly prepared menu items that just called on Spain! Absolutely delicious, charming surroundings and immaculate service. Luke and Megan made La Bodega totally memorable with their charm and polite kindness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Chef J's BBQ was incredible! I was lucky enough to be able to order The Boss, therefore I got to try the Brisket and Jalapeno BBQ Sausage and both tasted fresh with the perfect amount of smoke. The ratio of fat and tender meat on the Brisket was perfect. My girlfriend and I showed up hungry and left with a full belly. The staff that work at Chef J's BBQ make you feel like your eating at home. 10 out of 10 experience!”

“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!”
“Love Love LOOVVEEE their ice cream. I ordered the 6 mini scoop option(scoops were still pretty big). My daughter and I had a difficult time deciding which was our favorite because they were all so delicious! I also ordered the chocolate chip cookies which were also amazing. I look forward to going back with the rest of my children. Thank you for your amazing service and the best ice cream I've had in a long time.”
“We had a large group and they accomodated us at the last minute. We had some of their signature dishes served family style and all were great!”
“We really enjoyed the food and the drinks! The selection of food was great for a bar/ distillery and very delicious.
We tried their flights, it was amazing to see how the different bottles have their own character!
We appreciate the watch parties they set up for the community and the Great Gatsby -ish decor inside.
Overall, definitely a KC gem!”
“We visited Akoya Omakase to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The chef’s counter experience was top notch. Chef Peter was engaging and provided thoughtful notes on each item served. We also enjoyed engaging with Josh and admired his careful and skilled approach to ensuring that tables received the same beautiful plating and food. Allowing for Chef Peter to select our menu created a fun and delightful dining experience. This place is a 1/1 on the Kansas City food scene in our opinions, and we are already looking ahead to find a time to come back.”
“Tonight we went to celebrate an accomplishment by my teenage daughter. I am a member of a Northland restaurant group and I was told to ask for Jamie because she is highly recommended. She was our server and my gosh, she went above and beyond. She mad our night wonderful and my daughter could NOT have been happier. Absolutely beaming. Thank you Stroud’s and Jamie for giving us a wonderful night that we won’t soon forget.”
“Have an absolutely lovely time every time we come here. Seriously impressive drinks and very friendly staff in an absolutely beautiful space.”
“Tong was literally the best server I had here! She was super helpful when it came to helping me order on the tablet because it was my first time eating here!”
“My husband and I came in from out of state and he made a reservation for us at Piropos, everything from our contact with the hostess to our departure from the restaurant was personable and the atmosphere was perfect for our date night the food was delicious and our waitress, Catherine, was extremely attentive and kind, as I’m in a wheelchair, making our visit one of the best nights we had on our 5 day stay in Kansas City! I would recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a classy atmosphere with the best waitstaff and food we’ve ever experienced!”
“Darion was excellent. Simply excellent. This was our first visit here and we were not disappointed. Huge shareable portions, everything was hot and fresh. We will definitely be coming back. What an experience; so much fun and laughter over an excellent meal.”
“Mark Robinson and his team are conclusive and their ability to direct you into which area you can develop is key. They have a keen intuition for where the market is headed and when to makes profits. they are worth listening to. Try the consultation! And never go low in your portfolio even when the Market is in dip or pump.”
“The Anter Room absolutely exceeded expectations. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavour, but the standout of the night was, surprisingly, the carrots. They were perfectly cooked with an incredible balance of smoky, sweet and spicy flavours – easily one of the best vegetable dishes I’ve had in a long time.
The dumplings were silky, delicate and generously topped with an addictive crunchy seasoning that made each bite even better. The scallops were cooked perfectly and paired with fresh, vibrant accompaniments that really let the seafood shine.
From the first plate to the last, everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully plated. Combined with the relaxed atmosphere, attentive service and great drinks, it made for a fantastic dining experience.
Already looking forward to coming back – and yes, ordering those carrots again!”
“amazing meal and staff. first time tonight but won’t be the last”
“Customer service was excellent. Food was outstanding. Our waiter was Brennen, I can't say enough of how accommodating he was. If I ever can choose my waiter or waitress, Brennan is the man! Please get your meal here and enjoy, it is the best...👍👍”
“Staff, dinner, wine, and ambiance were all amazing. Great NYE dinner! The scallops were cooked perfectly! Highly recommend to all!”
“Super cute cocktail bar with an upscale vibe and warm welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anyone who was on a date night or out with their best friends!”
“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.”
“As always everything was amazing. From the perfectly smoked meats to the ever so fresh and hot desserts. Our server Krystle was on her job. Her and her team were hustling. Never an empty glass or a dirty dish. It's always a pleasure to dine in such great service and amazing food. 👏 Mahalo”
“We did the generous pour wine tasting. The wines were very good. Our server was attentive. We order the filet and South African lobster tails . Everything was great. Enjoyable dinner experience.”
“I'm unsure why this place doesn't come up more frequently in conversations about Italian food in KC, but it certainly should. When I tell you that the steak spiedini (chef special, not always on the menu) *changed my life*..... WOW - I've thought about it several times a week since my visit. We had fabulous service and they were very accommodating to a couple of dietary needs of our table. Tiramisu was divine. A perfect spot for a date night or just great food anytime.”
“I would say this is a highly japanese inspired cafe with an american twist to it. They did an amazing job with the Japanse inspiration the food is quite good! I would recommend coming here for drinks”
“Lovely spot. Cozy and charming atmosphere, creative, delicious dishes and brilliant cocktail selection. I look forward to coming back on my next adventure to KCMO”
“Everyone at this establishment is amazing and so incredibly helpful.”
“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜”
“My husband and I had the best experience at this restaurant. The food was good as always. During our meal my husband had to use the rest room. He has some dementia and can’t walk very well. Unfortunately we were sitting at a table which was on the complete opposite side of the restaurant from the rest room. The server noticed our dilemma and said she would guide him over to the restroom. She was back immediately. I said, “Oh, he won’t be able to find his way back to this table.” The server told me not to worry about it. The restaurant manager had taken him over and would wait and bring him back. That is undoubtedly the kindest thing that has ever happened to us in a restaurant. Thank you to the wonderful people at the RoanRidge Texas Roadhouse.”
“Every time I buy from Kobi-Q, whether it is there Grand street location or this new Westport location, I’m greeted well and an treated like I am an acclaimed guest. This is a definite pro when coming to their new sushi bar. If you have any questions on what things are, what is appropriate to share, what is a good item for newcomers, and what is off the beaten path, they help you in anyway they can to make the best possible dining experience. I love Kobi-Q on Grand st. And they haven’t let me down the 3-4 times I’ve been privileged enough to enjoy their sushi bar in Westport. Please come, have an open mind on sushi, and enjoy it. It’s an experience that I’ve had with plenty of good friends. <3”
“My Daughter and I had a day trip to KC today, we came down to The City Market, we wanted to try something different. This place was Delicious! My taste buds danced in my mouth!! We will be going back!! Bert, Thanks so much for the experience!!!”

“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞”
“Great food, better staff, good prices and AWESOME food!! Drinks are really unique too!!”
“I think it's worth trying at least once. I think the food was really good. Everything was very nice. The server was absolutely fantastic. Service was fantastic. I think it was a little weird but not as you talk to the chef it becomes less so. But yeah, I would recommend this place food's pretty good. I really like the rice. It's a good time. More of a show but like a really yummy show.”
“1st time here, we came for our anniversary. The food was excellent steaks were great and cooked just like we requested. All the staff was very friendly and polite.”
“By far my favorite little lounge in KC. It’s just a short 5 minute walk from my apartment so the convenience is there. I love the retro aesthetic mixed with modern design, and when there’s a DJ it adds even more to the experience. My drinks are always great and the customer service is attentive and friendly. The little burger truck outside, Disco Burger, is sic a fun and amazing addition on those tipsy nights you’re craving a good burger. My friends and I LOVE Varisty Club, and our favorite bartender is Caleb. He’s always so nice and efficient with us. Such a vibe. I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“We had a large group, while other really enjoyed their food, my trout was marginal at best. However the strawberry peach pie was to die for. Service was phenomenal, would 💯 love to try again! Supper cute place.”
“This is such a charming bar. The decor, the lighting, the menu…loved it all! We came on a Friday around 4:30 for happy hour and were seated immediately. The service was wonderful and the menu was creative without being too obscure. Looking forward to coming back!”

We celebrated my husband birthday there and had an absolutely wonderful night, from the food, to the atmosphere, to the service! Our server Sam made our evening! He was attentive and enjoyable! We can’t wait to go back! Try it you won’t be disappointed!!”
“We had a great time on our first visit to Mineral Lounge. We had a few unique cocktails along with an assortment of small plates. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. It was an easy walk afterwards to a show at Kauffman.”
“Calling FIFA — welcome to KC. There are many great restaurants in town, but this is the best one imo. Fresh ingredients, elevated in-house sauces and dressings — Hemma Hemma has it all. Amazing and delicious food that is good for you. Owned by a woman who is a professionally trained chef. Doesn’t get any better. Great atmosphere downtown and Brookside. I was there the other night and a party of 6 effusively complimented the owner on their way out for the amazing food, service and accommodations. Top shelf — go there, FIFA people ❤”
“I went to Swifts this past Sunday , May 25 around 3 in the afternoon...

“This store is always prepped and ready to deliver on timely food and service. Food comes out quickly for a buffet and they keep the whole serving area neat and attractive. Bonus is that they keep tea servers full and silverware in stock during rushes. Best Pizza Ranch of all I have been to.”
“I'm impressed with the flavor of the food. They do have a problem substituting neck bones for oxtail. I hope they know that they not only look different but taste different. I do recommend the food. I like getting what I pay for. Ask me if I am willing to accept a substitute. Don't treat me like I'm stupid. My taste buds are very delicate and have discerned various taste across this country.”
“I went recently for some food and drinks and had some of the best service I've had anywhere! Halie was our server and she was extremely kind, informative and energetic. Very helpful with the food options and overall just made the experience great and unforgetable! Can't wait to come back and hopefully get her as my waitress again”
“Outstanding service from our waiter, Chris! (a solid "Hardy" doppelganger). From the check-in desk to the lively bar. Great service and people that seem to love their jobs made our experience memorable celebrating birthdays & an anniversary. Food was excellent and the 10-layer carrot cake knocked it out of the park. Needless to say, we will back! Coming in from Wisconsin and ending our trip at Ocean Prime made the weekend!”
“My wife and I had our first visit to La Fuente on New Years Eve. I am a hard person to make happy when it come to food. I must say it was the best. The restaurant was very clean, employees great and professional. Help my wife the menu and provide the very best service. We have found a new place for great times. Thankyou”

“We went for Valentines Day, my husband and I have been before and we loved the experience! Everything tasted amazing and our waitress and other staff were very helpful and friendly! A man came and answered my questions about wine recommendations and that was insightful! Thank you for the great experience!”
“Had a great time at Guy Fieri’s Dive & Taco Joint while enjoying the soccer atmosphere at Kansas City’s Power & Light District. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the carne asada fries, and both were delicious. The carne asada was flavorful, and the fries were loaded and perfect for sharing.
The service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively with lots of fans around. Great food, great energy, and a fun place to hang out while watching soccer. We would definitely come back next time we’re in Kansas City! ⚽🌮😊🔥”
“Came back a second time! Absolutely loved my experience at Bristols in Creve Coeur! The atmosphere is inviting and perfect for any occasion. A huge shoutout to Brad, who truly made our visit memorable. His attentive service, friendly demeanor, and expert bartending skills impressed us all. The cocktails he crafted were not only beautifully presented but also delicious. Brad's knowledge of the menu and personalized recommendations elevated our evening. I can't wait to return and well-deservedly give him and the entire team a five-star rating for an outstanding dining experience! Awesome local restaurant, great atmosphere and service. Upscale all around. Rebecca was a nice attentive waitress. Great seafood.”

“Tonight we came to Thai Orchid for my birthday and sat in Dylan’s section and he was outstanding! So friendly and attentive. He gave us just enough time without being pushy. Our food was wonderful and fresh. I cannot recommend this location enough. We ordered the soft spring rolls, steamed dumplings, shrimp yellow curry and the shrimp pad Thai. Delicious!”
“My family has had the pleasure of eating here twice. Our most recent visit was yesterday! The owner and staff make you feel right at home from the moment we walked in the door. My papdi chaat was perfection, mango lassi was refreshing, chicken shawarma wrap with fries & garlic sauce was delicious! My 13 yr. old son thoroughly enjoyed his butter chicken with naan! The atmosphere and food is a WINNING combination! KTM offers Mediterranean, Indian and Nepali food. Such a welcomed variety of foods to choose from. Support local! Outstanding food!! 👏 👏”
“I am soo glad Nicole, the owner of the City Market Coffee House has decided to share her recipes with the rest of us! The breakfast/lunch menu was full of the no fuss kind of meals you could make at home, but she makes them much better. Not over priced huge mounds of food, but delicious, reasonable priced items with wholesome ingredients. (And the bloody Mary's are a meal in themselves ;-)”
“We had such a great experience at the LS Pegah’s tonight. Our kids were tired from homecoming festivities and whiny, making them harder to maintain. Our waitress and the entire staff were nothing but amazing to us coming over talking to the kids and making sure we had everything we needed. There was a slight mishap with our one of our dishes and our server (Emma I think) felt so bad and went above and beyond to make it right. We will definitely be back- our food was amazing!!”
“We visited Akoya Omakase to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The chef’s counter experience was top notch. Chef Peter was engaging and provided thoughtful notes on each item served. We also enjoyed engaging with Josh and admired his careful and skilled approach to ensuring that tables received the same beautiful plating and food. Allowing for Chef Peter to select our menu created a fun and delightful dining experience. This place is a 1/1 on the Kansas City food scene in our opinions, and we are already looking ahead to find a time to come back.”
