    Outstanding service and friendly engagement from the initial greeting through the entire meal all the way to our departure. Paisley was an absolutely wonderful waitress. Great hospitality and insightful suggestions. Unlike other area competitors, the staff acknowledged our special event multiple times. That was not the case with previous anniversary dinners unfortunately spent at other area restaurants. Food was quite good as well.

    Pierpont's has been a favorite restaurant of mine for years. I don't go as often as I would like, but when I do, the quality of the food and service are always consistent and exceptional. In addtion, it is located in Kansas City's iconic Union Station. It is a wonderful restaurant for special occasions, but fun just for a happy hour, too. If you have not tried Pierpont's at Union Station, don't wait, it is a wonderful dining experience.

    The food is always well prepared and delivered to the table steaming hot when it is supposed to be steaming hot. The servers are kind, knowledgeable and efficient. The vibe is lively and laid back, but can get a little noisy at peak times since the tables are close together. There is a small back room that can seat a group of perhaps 8-10 and provides nice privacy. The patio has heat lamps and is comfortable through most of 3 seasons. Definitely an urban atmosphere with a sort of old school, vintage feel but with absolutely current food choices.
