We had not been to Extra Virgin in a while, but it's open on Monday so we thought we would give it a shot. 1/2 Price wine and pizza special. However pizza had clams (I'm not a big fan) so we ordered tapas instead. Two of the five offerings were good, everything else either over-sauced, over-staged or strange combinations. Sometimes good, simple food is fabulous. We won't be back anytime soon.

Go for happy hour. Several tapas are half price. The restaurant was super busy and we sat in the quiet area, old Michael Smiths. The food was very good. Lamb Tangine was excellent at $24. Mussels were good. Variety of dips also very good. Like the beet one and the baba ganoush. The service people were running and keeping up. If there were more servers it would have been better. We tipped 20%.

Our first visit to extra virgin. There weren't very many people there but it was insanely loud. I could hear full conversations from across the room. Service was very poor and the room was very cold. Food was mediocre and my ribeye came with soggy fries when the menu says it comes with roasted za'atar potatoes. Both of our Ribeyes were under cooked but no one ever checked in and we waited 15 min after finishing to get boxed and checked out. Because it was so cold in the building, my food was cold within five minutes of arrival. It was a hundred dollars definitely not well spent. We will not be back.

Absolutely LOVE Extra Virgin! In town visiting friends and it was our first choice for a lovely dinner! Ben recommended the perfect Rosé (and went above & beyond in every way). Love that there are gluten free vegan options, as one of our group had dietary restrictions. That kind of menu variety is not yet the norm in KC, so it’s an impressive, progressive restaurant to bring visitors from out of town. The only issue remains the noise level due to echoing/ lack of sound dampening measures. There’s quite a din, which might be an issue for anyone with auditory sensitivity. Overall 9/10, will continue to come here!

Excellent food, service and half priced Champagne what could be better. We loved the small plates and the atmosphere. The employees looked like they were really happy to be there. the deviled were something special. We also really enjoyed the fire roasted brussels sprouts. My wife said, the falafel was the best she has had since her trip to Israel. We agreed this is a EAT HERE! restaurant.

One of the most creative menus in Kansas City, especially for fish and seafood lovers. Dishes were not only delicious, but colorful and well plated. Best branzino in town, so moist and flaky. I give the kitchen credit for not oversalting dishes either, allowing individual flavors to sing.

I’ve eaten all over the world, and this restaurant is probably the best place I’ve ever eaten. The atmosphere was a vibe, the food was top tier quality, and the service was fantastic. Absolutely a must if you’re in KC. You also pay for what you get, and I think for the quality and flavor of food that you receive, it’s inexpensive! Greatly accommodating to my wife who is gluten free, and has a world of other allergies as well. 10/10 HIGHLY recommended.
