Best Lunch Restaurants in South Kansas City

The bar service was great. We arrived an hour early and sat at the bar to drink and have an appetizer. Appetizers were flatbread and meatballs! Both were excellent. When we were seated our waiter was okay at best. Don’t know if he was just having an off night but we could sense he just didn’t want to be there. When we were closing the ticket out we considered having another drink and he said well it would make my night easier if you didn’t! For dinner we ordered Steak, Lamb and Lobster between 4 of us. Steak was charred and over cooked & lobster was way over cooked! The lamb was good. We weren’t told they were out of broccoli so everyone’s plates just came with green beans. We asked the waiter and he said they were out of broccoli. Even though it was a mix up, the green beans were the best part of the meals! I think this night was just an off night because normally we’ve had good service and food!

We had our first filet mignons in years—one medium rare, the other medium well. Both were perfectly prepared and served with excellent mashed potatoes and crisp asparagus. We had delicious cocktails and Caesar salad to begin and finished with crème brûlée and coffee. The server was attentive and responsive. It was an exceptional experience.

Sam provided great service on a very busy Valentine’s. Food and drinks were very good, as expected. Restaurant was packed but mostly well organized.

Another delicious visit to this hidden gem. You could order with your eyes closed and still love your choices. Because it’s a small room, people can choose to focus only on their group or enjoy one another’s company. We met a young couple having lunch there for the first time and exchanged our thoughts on favorite dishes. A lovely Valentine’s Day experience.

Plate was a wonderful experience. The food was wonderful we tried a variety of items and everything was delicious. Our server was very helpful and had great suggestions on food selections. They had a live musician which we were seated somewhat close to which was a touch noisy but my wife and I could still carry a conversation well enough.
