Didn’t expect to find a FOOD Heaven in Kansas City, MO. Everything is super good! Done here twice [2 dinners] Super great food from soup, salad, main entrées and try all their desserts it’s super crazy good! Thank you Chefs & Crew you’re the best! 💯💯💯 Great service too

I had high hopes but we just didn't love it. Service was great. Food was just ok, wine pours seemed small. Steak was overly salty, salmon was good, fried cauliflower tasted like fish-but not in a good way.

I consider this to be one of the best fine dining experiences in Kansas City. I particularly loved the duck neck aglonotti - the pickled cherry was such a nice pop of flavor. The scallops and key lime pie were also phenomenal.

I rate this restaurant a 7 out of 10. Here is the breakdown: 7 on food, 8-9 on service, 10 on ambiance. We ordered 2 apps and 2 entries. The egg dish is 8. Interesting fusion dish, I think it has a lot of Asian cuisine inspiration on it. The warm octopus salad is a 5. Not much taste, and the octopus is very dry. Do not recommend. The scallop main dish is an 8. Pretty tasty and the sweet potato base compliment the dish very well. KC strip steak is maybe a 6 to 7. It's cooked well, but lacks a bit flavor compare to the best steak I have had. It's also a bit too salty for the steak in the end. So if you take a simple average, that's a 7 on food. Service is generally good, attentive, and fast. The only reason I knocked 1 off is the waiter didn't capture our order completely, so we were waiting on our second appetizer for a long time. But once it is fixed, the speed is very quick. So I would say it's very nice service. Solid ambiance and decorations for any occasion so it's a 10. Simple average again you get 7. If I were to come here again, I would order a bunch of appetizers and skip the main entries. I believe the appetizers show a lot of creativy of the chefs, so the main courses pale a bit in comparison.
