One of my favorite restaurants in Kansas City. The shrimp scampi is Soo good. The cocktails are delicious. The atmosphere is so cool.
Solid experience, mainly got appetizers. Those were indeed phenomenal. Great cocktail service. Nice atmosphere but a little crowded and noisy at the time I went.
Everything we got was amazing! The meatballs were a dense but decedent with the sauce. The vodka pasta was good, but the chicken parm sandwich blew it out of the water!
Love the atmosphere as well as the weird swan sink faucet and will be back for the happy hour. Services was a tad bit slow, but not slow enough to knock it down a star. Everyone working was very nice and our server was awesome!

The house-made chips are a highlight, often praised as a show stealer, especially when paired with their dip. The restaurant has a vibrant and classy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying good music and catching a game. It is also noted as a great spot for date nights, with a moody and romantic vibe.
