Bristol Seafood + Steak + Social

Thresa Kussman

I collaborated with Rochelle in Special Events to host a surprise 30th Birthday party with a group of 12 recently at the Bristol KC’s Kauffman Semi-Private Dining Room. I compared restaurants all over KC, and the choice to celebrate my daughter’s special day there delivered more than I could have expected. Rochelle was fabulous, and she made planning this dinner worry-free. She worked with us to decorate the table prior and bring in my daughter’s favorite cake from her favorite bakery for dessert. She created a happy birthday banner on special menus to celebrate the milestone. Our waiter, William, and an assistant were assigned only to us, and they were funny, swift to deliver, all the while making it seem they were completely behind the scenes. Professional! We are a lively group and I was concerned we may be too loud for other guests; however, as you can see from the photographs, this semi private room is set up behind glass wine storage walls. Our laughter, stories and birthday singing, thankfully, did not travel into the main dining room! We were so busy celebrating we did not snap a lot of pictures of the food; however, the food, cocktails and wine were top notch… Whether or not you’re looking for a semi private place to celebrate or are searching for a great place for happy hour or dinner, I highly endorse the Bristol KC. Thanks, Rochelle and the team, for giving us an evening of cherished memories of Kelsey’s special milestone! ❤️

The seared ahi was absolutely amazing! It was perfectly well done and the sear was salty and smokey. Everyone raved about the crab cakes, which were just average to me but they all enjoyed them.

Michael was wonderful. The happy hour lobster roll was a great value. Looking forward to coming back for another blood & marriage cocktail!

Went last night during restaurant week, I do not recommend. They changed the menu, so what I usually like wasn't on there anymore. So I got the $50 meal that comes with an appetizer, meal with 2 sides, and desert. I got the lobster bisque, crabcakes that came with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and creme brulee. The portions were even smaller than usual, I would compare it to barely a toddler's meal. They didn't serve the biscuits that they always have. The lobster bisque was tangy. The potatoes and crabcakes were maybe a tablespoon in size and plain. The asparagus was covered in tomatoes (after I stated that I didn't like tomatoes) so I couldn't even eat them. The creme brulee was very plain and barely covered the bottom of the dish. I wasn't having the best day, but this just ruined it, I felt like it was a complete waste of time and money. Huge disappointment compared to past experiences.
