One of the most unique dining rooms in Kansas City. Food was great. The service was a little slow, but with the recent change in ownership, hopefully that will be addressed. Servers were all very polite and nice. The hotel was fully sold out the night before for Chappell Roan, so probably a little more brunch traffic than they're used to.

This was our first dining experience at this venue to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were greeted with an anniversary card from the restaurant and they provided amenities throughout the evening to make our dinner special. The ambience was cozy and romantic. Our waiter was superb accenting a wonderful experience. The bar service was excellent. The food prepared was also wonderful. I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant and in our expansive dining experiences this was one of the truly best experiences. This is the oldest operating restaurant west of the Mississippi River. It is rich in history and a favorite of President Harry Truman. We can't wait to return.

Was happy to see they kept the original decor. Limited menu but prepared well. Service was excellent. Bar tender prepared drinks properly. Prime rib was the special and came out as ordered. The one thing I would like to see is the murals to be cleaned and restored. If you've never been to the Savoy you need to give it a try.

It took 40min to get 3 oyster appetizer and then another 20min to get a smash burger a plate of pasta. Table was shoved in a corner up against a server station. Food and drinks tasted good, but seating sucked and it took far too long to get what we ordered.

There was no music and they have the lights on bright. It makes the ambiance feel weird. Abrasive.

The food was absolutely immaculate if you want to try something different and delicious this is definitely a wonderful pic

We celebrated our friends and our 30th wedding anniversary at the Savoy. The dinner was divine. The staff and atmosphere was superb! Can't wait to go back when we come back to town.

Excellent restaurant. Farm fresh and creative foods. The French fries from duck tallow were amazing. Loved the Smash Burger. Chef's Chocolate cake was phenomenal.. Enjoyed the creative cocktails, and the service was great. Looking forward to another visit.

I just had the single worst experience I've had at a restaurant in the last 5 years.
Some background on me. I travel for work. I eat at 3 (typically nicer, higher end) restaurants every week. I very rarely feel the need to write a review. And almost never write a bad review.
I walked into Savoy at 5:45 pm. I was the only person at a table and there were 2 people at the bar. They just opened at 5.
I had reviewed the menu before I came in so I mostly knew what I was ordering. I asked for unsweet tea and I asked the server if the filet came with anything (namely vegetables. Broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, anything). I was told it does not which surprised me a little because there are very little vegetables on the menu to order. The options were a peach salad that had a bunch of stuff on it, a ceaser salad, some sort of squash or Yukon gold potatoes. Not even a basic house salad.
I ordered a ceaser and the filet so I would at least get some veggies despite a ceaser not being very healthy.
The ceaser came in roughly 10 minutes. It was fine. It tasted like a ceaser salad. It was roughly a cup of lettuce with croutons, parmesan and some anchovies. It was finished fast.
Then came the first wait. I order my filet Pitsburgh which means it gets a fast hard sear on the outside and stays pretty much raw throughout. When I do it at home in my cast iron it takes 3-4 minutes total. I waited for my steak for 30 minutes.
It finally came out, cut in half on a bed of Diane Sauce. It was medium rare. There was almost no sear on the outside. And it was the smallest 8oz filet I have ever seen. It is possible that it being cut in half made my perception see it as small though.
I'm not one to complain and I never send food back, not to mention I was hungry after waiting so long, so I ate up. It was incredibly bland. You could tell they were depending on the Diane Sauce for flavor. I finished the steak in roughly 10 minutes because I was taking my time.
Here comes wait #2. I had my card out and gave it to my server when she picked up my plate. From that moment, it was 30 minutes until I got my receipt. They were having some sort of system issue and my server handed it off to her manager to process. Again, I can understand system issues but I can't understand poor service.
If I were in the managers position I would have offered a desert, a drink or even just some more tea while my customer waited. I would have turned them down but the gesture would have been nice. Instead I sat there for 30 uninterrupted minutes, with my empty tea cup and my head down on the table. I contemplated how a restaurant can charge me $85 for a cup of salad, a poorly cooked $10 filet and bad service.
The manager never came over to apologize. Finally my receipt landed in front of me, I signed off and left. It took almost an hour and a half to get a small salad and the world most simple steak and it cost me $85. I am incredibly disappointed.
Do yourself a favor. Last night I ate at a small restaurant around the corner from the Savoy called The Magestic. The food was fantastic, the service was fantastic, the serving size was enough to feed an adult and from the time I walked through the door to the time I signed the bill ($65 btw) I was in the restaurant for 40 minutes.
The ambiance was lovely, service was amazing and the food was excellent! The best filet I've had in quite awhile, everything was perfect.

We had a perfect Sunday evening dinner after a long drive from OKC. Great service. Perfectly prepared food. They know what they're doing. The room was a delight as well.

The Savoy provided an incredible experience to me and my boyfriend as we celebrated our anniversary. We were greeted by a friendly host who guided us to a secluded private dining experience off the main dining room of The Savoy. This was a delightful surprise which I won't forget. The service and food was excellent, but the ambience is what truly made the night. I will certainly be returning.

Great service. Drinks were excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and present. Those caviar eggs though!!!! SO GOOD.

I had the trout and it was cooked to perfection. I truly appreciated the variety of vegetables served with it. We started with the Caesar Salad (WITH anchovies!) and it was better than expected. The wine selection was very good and our server was extremely attentive. We are from another state big on tourism and the Savoy was a welcome treat.
