“One of the best Mediterranean places I have been in KC. Their falafel wrap is delicious and with simple and beautiful interiors+ wall colors.

Their lemon bar cake is just 🤤🤤. Should definitely try. The staff are friendly andtheir suggestions to choose the bakery items really helpful.“

“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!!“

“Everything is delicious! Loved it!“

“My husband and I wanted a date night but couldn't decide on seafood or steak. We were both happy with the menu and drink selection here. He had the steak and lobster and I tried the blak lentil bolognese with strawberry spinach salad. So good with Chianti and he had Cliquot champagne. Elijah, our server, was very attentive and took very good care of us! Great night!“

“This Cafe has a great vibe. It's a wonderful place to dine in. Today I had the jalapeño Ruben and honey lavender macha. Delicious 🔥💯“

“my favorite fresh spot for salad hummus and tea/coffee, I frequent independence but prefer Westport for the wooden salad bowls, reminds me of my childhood!“

“Always a great experience! Good food fast! Servers are the best. We eat in there at least 3x a week. Fair prices and good quality. Best North of the river. See ya tomorrow!!“

“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.“

“The place is as nicely done. Staff were excellent. Tour was great. Enjoyed the whole experience. Would recommend it to everyone.“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“This was my go-to spot every single week when I lived in Kansas City five years ago. Since then, I’ve lived in Georgia, California, and Washington, and I currently reside in Seattle—yet this place remains the #1 Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever been to. I am so jealous of the people who live nearby. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“we had a great experience I'll definitely be back!“

“Our experience was fabulous! Our waitress, Mars, went out of her way to accommodate every silly request I made- including making me a special non alcoholic drink!

The food was amazing- the service was top notch, and every single person who works there is a friggin delight- our first time in- we will absolutely be back.

PS the Manchego Brussel Sprouts- chefs kiss!“

“Our #1 Mexican restaurant pick! The food is authentic and is just as I ate when I was younger living in Southern California.“

“Pros: The menu, prices, atmosphere, professionalism

Cons: parking

This is one of the restaurants that brings me back to my childhood roots. The spices and seasonings will hit you delightfully in the face upon entering. The lights here are subtle and elegant with mood lighting enhancing the experience. This is authentic food so anyone looking for an “Americanized” menu for their palette it will not be found here.

Professionalism is not an issue here. Delightful conversation and attentive.

I have seen large groups of 9+ here so the location is accommodating on groups.“

“Best Swiss chocolate truffles and quiche! (Still excellent)

I do notice a change in the attitude of the staff since about later 2025.

This may be because of any number of things. Around October 22 or 23 there were two bank robberies,first 1:30pm in Waldo area US bank Gregory Boulevard and Wornall Road-last one at 3:30pm a block away UMB Bank 49th & Main Street.

While the wait staff is excellent in a leisurely lunch, yet highly attentive; the sales staff are aggressive as soon as I am finished with the meal.
Even if I go to purchase a special treat not having a meal, and I want to shop. Also the price of chocolate treats were around $97.00 a pound for liquor chocolate truffles in February 2026!I don’t even look at the truffles anymore ( prices may fluctuate but I have noticed it’s unlikely prices go down).

I feel the sales staff rush customers to pay and leave.“

“My entire party agreed the food was fresh and delicious! Many options from which to choose.“

“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!“

“Everything is so delicious 👍“

“Went to Cliff’s last night while in KC for a volleyball tournament for our granddaughter. She has celiac disease.
They were accommodating with a broad GF menu and ALL of the food was fantastic!
Best wings I’ve had in years, the corn chowder soup was amazing, the pasta and sandwiches were all wonderful!
We can’t wait to come back!
Thank you!!😊“

“THE best place to eat at the river market, bestie and I go every time we’re there. She gets shawarma I get the grilled salmon and we always leave with pita and spicy hummus. The employees are so welcoming and it is the only restaurant I will ever finish my rice in 10/10 & go get the baklava from next door“

“Awruff! Bay Boy Sandwiches at the Commons! Where even to start! Tail-Wagging fun from the moment I walked it! Sports games, arcade games, lawn games, and skeeball! This place has it all! 🏈 🎯 🕹️I got a mouth-watering sandwich, The Bandit! Roast beef, smokey cheddar, red onion, raspberry jam and horseradish all on a delicious Dutch crunch roll! 🐶💚🥪 The atmosphere was high-energy and just felt less like strangers, and more like your own pack. It took a minute for our food to be ready, but it was so hot and fresh, and the staff were so nice I didn't mind! 10/10 🦴 will definitely be back!“

“Amazing homemade ice cream and waffle cones! We were very impressed and will be back.“

“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.“

“Great Chef Quality food 👌🏿 😋 Shrimp & Grits my Absolute Favorite 😍“

“I never expected to find such a gem scrolling for breakfast on google. Their breakfast menu brings a beautiful blend of culinary fine dining with home style comfort food. The owners are so kind and genuine quick to strike up a conversation. And their house made chai tea is absolutely to die for, I will definitely be back time and time again for that alone. I can’t wait to come back and try their specials!“

“super awesome place. great food and super nice people. we will definitely return and will always recommend it to anyone.“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing coffee! Will certainly have to return!“

“Absolutely Delicious! Accommodated our whole party of 10, the food and drinks were fabulous!“

“the apple spice cake and vegan gravy made my holiday meal. thank you!!“

“I’ve been here about a dozen times and I get the same thing every time, the Shanghai udon, and it is my new comfort food. It is so, so good. The sauce on it is absolutely divine. I want to try more menu items but the udon is so good I keep coming back to it“

“Great deli sandwhiches“

“my FAVORITE place for special occasion brunches- my birthday, mother's day, etc everything is always delicious and we love the small business support in the brands shared in the front of the restaurant and in the menu options!“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

“amazing meal and staff. first time tonight but won’t be the last“

“The falafel Sammies are the best in Kansas City!“

“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞“

“I had the grilled cabo chicken wrap..🤌🤌🤌 so freaking good! It's nice to have a healthier alternative for wraps and bowls and the prices aren't bad either! Definitely gonna be trying more stuff.“

“Pleasant visit. Enjoyed our coffee on the rooftop patio which made for a fun experience, employees were kind and helpful.“

“This wonderful place is a must visit! The space itself is beautiful (with lovely murals and a charming book selection on offer to buy), the coffee drinks are delicious and original, and the food is transcendent: it really could not have been tastier or more creative. All the staff were very helpful and nice: a huge KC highlight!“

“Good food, good price, great service“

“Literal heaven on earth!! If you love simple Italian food with big flavor you do not want to miss out on this place!! Amazing atmosphere and everyone was super sweet! Sounds of people talking and laughing!🍝😇💯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ / 5 🤌🏽“
