    Overall, this was a great experience. A friend and I decided on this restaurant as part ok KCRW. We got there early so got a drink and appetizer at the bar. I got the crab cakes. Normally, I would rave about crab cakes, however these fell short. They didn't seem fresh, more like something made the day before and just reheated. My friend got the cauliflower app, which was very good. She also got a couple chocolate martini's also very good. We then got sat at our table. Got a couple more drinks. I got a Bellini martini, yum! She got the wedge salad and I got the crab bisque for the app. Both very good, I could eat the bisque every day! For our main, we both got the filet with mashed potato asparagus. The steak was cooked perfectly med-rare for me and medium for her. The bread, so good, I had to get more. When it was time for dessert, we had to get it to go. The hostesses, bar tender and server were excellent. Very professional and attentive, but not overboard. This is not normally a place that I could afford an a regular occasion so I was glad to see this on KCRW lineup. Great experience, and would to visit again as a date night in the future 🙂

    Our family of four enjoyed seeing our beloved Arrowhead in a different setting. The stadium was tastefully adorned with holiday decor and photo opportunities. Plenty of room to space out from other guests and enjoy the ambience of the field and stadium in all its RED glory! Unreal to get to sit there and take in the fact we have taken first seed in the AFC playoffs!🤯🙌🏻🙌🏻 Appetizers seemed a bit pricey would be my only less than excellent review. A plus to the cost of the cocktails is that you have the option of taking the branded Kingdom Greetings drink ware with you!
