Started our experience at the Crossroads’ Percheron Rooftop Bar and ended it at XR. The atmosphere was the ultimate standout, but the food and service were still good! I ordered the Shroomer Boomer, and the goat cheese herb mix on that is yum! The dining room filled up to near capacity despite it being a weeknight, and we even had a very chill celebrity sighting. A very cool spot to feel metropolitan for a day! Only cons were the pebble ice that came in my cocktail and that parking can be somewhat limited if you’re not a hotel guest.

The only reason I keep coming back is because they are the only place that serves Margherita pizza after 10PM in Kansas City. The quality of the service is so poor. The bar is terribly understaffed and it’s always busy. They can afford to hire one more person to properly serve the guests. Running a restaurant is more than just filling seats and flipping tables, SERVICE!!!! HOSPITALITY!?!?!??! don’t forget that.

Lovely space. Really enjoyed the cocktails and the food.

I had breakfast there 3 days in a row and tried 3 different things. The mock muffin, fried rice and then the BLT. Best breakfast place I have ever been to.

The Brick Oven Pizza is out of this world! Maya is an absolute Pizza making genius! I highly recommend you try it. 🤩

I had the shroom pizza. One on the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The service from the staff was some of the friendliest I’ve had in a long time.
Highly recommended!

Beautiful bar/cafe on the bottom floor of the Crossroads Hotel. Pool table and shuffleboard, open industrial design. Lounge tables, bar seating, and plenty of outlets to plug into. A bit pricey for what it is, but gorgeous ambiance. Wood-fired pizzas open until late night.

If you are looking for a spot to meet friends for a quiet early afternoon this is your place! It’s also your place to meet friends or your person for drinks before a night out! Plus if you wanna have a late night cocktail you can head up to the rooftop!

After multiple conversations with friends, I feel I need to leave a review. I had my birthday at Percheron and the staff was awesome, super helpful and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, it started raining and we had to relocate downstairs to the XR bar.
The second we got to XR, we were treated as unwelcome even though the bar manager upstairs said it would not be a problem. It was a super negative vibe - from the way the server talked to my gf, to the way that the bartenders hesitated to serve us (we were literally one drink in). To say we were unattended to is an understatement.
I was with a diverse group and even I felt othered, as if I was in trouble just for being there. We were well dressed and polite even while being talked down to by the bartenders. It was obvious that other guests were not being treated this way.
TLDR: Percheron is cool and the staff are lovely, while XR is bad vibes and the staff need unconscious bias training.
Just went for an espresso martini, and that itself was *chef’s kiss* 5/5

This place is decent but is steadily declining. They keep taking the best stuff off the menu and weren’t very accommodating to our requests.
Came in for the avocado toast and learned it was taken off the menu (why!?) it was the best in KC man! So then I ask for toast with avocado and the plate came out with the meal with all separate ingredients. Love paying for my food and doing the work too?
Service from bar staff is great but someone needs to straighten out whoever controls the menu. Wont be coming back for a while, hopefully they get back to their roots and make it a good guest experience from all sides.

Trisha was our server - she was attentive, friendly and even gave us a history lesson on the building and hotel. We were not staying at the hotel but decided to try it out because we’d heard so many good things about the fresh made food and atmosphere. We were not disappointed We had a delicious meal and we never felt rushed. I would definitely recommend.

We were from out of town and heard that XR was a place to check out. At first we had a great experience in their inside restaurant. We started off with espresso martinis which were great and service was great. Since it was a nice day we decided to go up to their roof top area to continue our experience. There we found out there was a big difference. First, our drinks were ok and order were mixed up. Food was disappointing and expensive. Service was slow compared to their downstairs restaurant. Great views of the city and had several areas to sit. Whether it was tables or comfy sectional seating. Overall, I probably would not go back for the food. However, the atmosphere had a cool vibe with great views of Kansas City on the rooftop.
