• American • Downtown / River Market

Booked 32 times today

Set in Kansas City’s historic City Market, Brown and Loe Restaurant’s inviting atmosphere is a blend of “big city” bistro with the welcoming casual flavor of a neighborhood favorite. Housed in a former Merchant’s Bank constructed in 1920, the restaurant honors the architectural details of the two-story building which features a façade of plate glass and verde marble floors and walls. In the 1940’s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchant’s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurant’s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurant’s fresh ingredients. Brown and Loe Restaurant is the second dining concept introduced by Harry Murphy, owner of the City Market’s popular Harry’s Country Club.

Our first visit to this excellent restaurant. Delightful ambience, outstanding food, great wine list! The service was fantastic—Anthony is a real gem! His knowledge of the menu was extraordinary and his recommendations were outstanding. His timing was perfect—he was always right there at the right time! Loved the Meingang and the struedel and chocolate torte were delicious. The sauerbraten was out of this world! So long as we can sit in Anthony’s section we’ll be back!

What a great pre-show date night place to kick off our evening! The food was absolutely perfect, surprisingly scrumptious, and the service was attentive but not pushy. We loved it! Great ambiance and it really set the tone for us.
