The drinks are very well crafted. The food is amazing. Pork soup is always fantastic. The steak was perfect and my wife's fish was superbly prepared. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I love the relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. A jewel in the downtown KC area. This place never disappoints. Highly recommend

Absolute delicious appetizer (trout toast) and dessert (grits thing). Our main courses weren't great (specials: lamb ribs and grilled softshell crab). Yummy cocktails

Colby was hosting and despite my request to sit somewhere other than in the middle of the restaurant, he said there was no availability and sat my partner and I in the middle. I had a reservation and it was only 6pm. I then watched as a dozen other, perhaps more 'traditional' couples, were ushered in and sat at more desirable tables. Disappointing treatment Colby.

Cocktails were great. Very different! Service was spot on both at the bar, and for dinner. Perfect for foodies, but menu I felt was limited. I had the scallops, one of their specials of the day, along with the beet salad. It's a very small venue, and it was noisy on a Friday night. Great for girls night out dinner.

The overall noise level made it nearly impossible to have a conversation. The special of the day pasta appetizer tasted too strongly of anchovies. The rabbit pie was dry. The ribeye steak of the day was very good.

This was our first time dining there; we chose it to celebrate an anniversary because we had heard great things from friends. It was a fun date & we really liked the drink menu. All of the food we tried was tasty and all of the staff were very welcoming, kind, and helpful with recommendations. Will return and recommend.
