"Our waitress, Brittany, was phenomenal so kind, helpful and attentive to detail! The food is out of this world! Everything we have had is great. We had the sea bass and ahi tuna and they were both to die for! Pictured are the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli and the Ahi tuna appetizers."

"we ate here for Thanksgiving. after we requested our server sean, we knew we would get excellent service. he is very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and drinks, and helpful with us advice about the selection. he also has a great sense of humor that works well with our family. we decided to select our dinner items from the menu, although the traditional Thanksgiving menu sounded delicious. a person in our group had the wagyu steak and explained it luxurious. another had the Norwegian salmon; and two of us had the psychic. we were all very happy diners, of course. ahi thunfischtare, oyster, calamari were excellent; the smokey old fashion cocktails should be tried by everyone; the lobster bisque and the salads are always good choices, like the lobster potatoes and the fried ones. Although we really haven't got a place for dessert, we have ordered anyway and managed to polish everything out. I had the pumpkin cake Thanksgiving special; our other party members had the lemon and berries cream and ice cream. we were happy!"

"I've been buying delicous treats and bagels from Blackhole since they opened during Covid. It's one of my favorite places to visit and bonus (or maybe not) it's very close to where I live. Today I went early to get some bagels and chili crisp cream cheese (my favorite) and it was packed! What a treat on a Friday morning to see so many people supporting this bakery. Thank you for all your great service and quality product!"

"Best restaurant in Kansas City hands down!! Walking into Baba's is like walking into another world, everyone is so kind (even the customers! it's infectious. Order anything from here and you'll be shocked at how amazing it is. Phenomenal vegetarian options! Incredible pantry take home treats! Best fries and shawarma in KC!"

"This is the best coffee spot in the area. The prices are more reasonable than the big chains, the staff is friendlier, and the iced drinks actually have a reasonable amount of ice, so you get what you pay for. Friendly Bean is the only place I've found that gets this right, making it my top choice. The frozen drinks are delicious, the staff is helpful, and visiting always brightens my day. The only downside is there is no indoor seating, but they have indoor ordering, which is convenient for those on a walk. Overall, a great experience every time."

"We had the pastrami sandwich that included chips and a drink for lunch today. I was very good! Soft bread, perfect portion size, wrapped so you can eat it in your car or at the park and not make too much of a mess. You should give it a try."

"We are in town for New Years and a Chiefs game. Bristol’s was recommended by our Airbnb host and it did not disappoint. We made reservations for 6 top and arrived 15 minutes early and we were seated promptly. Adam was our waiter and was amazing. He is the reason for a solid 5 stars. He made great recommendations for us, kept our drinks filled at all times and cleared our table quickly after we finished with a serving. We started with cauliflower, calamari and oysters for appetizers. All three were very good, but the cauliflower stole the show. It was so good. Secondly, 3 of us had Cesar salads and they were great. The dressing is made fresh daily and it makes all the difference. My husband ordered the bisque and he was nice enough to swap with me halfway through because I loved the bisque when I tried his. For entrees we had a variety of things off the menu. One member of our party had the Tuna and said it was exceptionally good. Another had the filet and crab cake and loved both. He commented on the crab cake being the best he has ever had. Another member had the KC strip and said the flavor was great, but the steak was on the tough side. Another member had the chicken, it was a large serving and was very flavorful and good. The potatoes were a standout on this dish. I had the sea bass and it was okay. I’ve had better, but it was still pretty good. I didn’t finish all of it. It was. Bite rubbery and I probably wouldn’t order it again if I went back. Our last member decided on the lobster Mac and cheese. It was good, but not a stand out. Lastly we had cream brûlée for dessert. We are a bit of hard judges when it comes to crème brûlée and we would give this a 7/10. It needed a bit more toasting on the top. Over all we had a great evening with great friends along with exceptional serves from Adam. We will definitely come back if ever in KC."

"Celebrating the birthdays of my wife and dear friend and unfortunately turned out to be unsatisfactory experience for one of the birthday girls. Her entree came out under and was sent back while the rest of us finished our entrees. When the refire came back to the table it was not just under, it was raw. On top of that, as we waited for the entree to come out for a second time, we were informed that they were out of the desert that was ordered at the beginning of the evening. From there it just got comical. She ordered the same desert the other three of us did and when it came out to the table the portion was less than half what the other three of us received. As other diners had festive sparkler celebrations at their tables our birthday girls received no such treatment. The meals were good but not what was expected based on previous visits. Don’t plan on returning anytime soon"

"Great atmosphere in a great location. Impeccable service. The food wasn’t for me. Particularly the cucumber salad. The weiner schnitzel was a little tough. Good potato salad tho. The sausages were decent as well. To be fair. We were just in New Branfels, and while those restaurants are German, the dishes are mostly the same but executed at a higher ls level."

"What a fun venue! I'm always looking for restaurants with a good selection for my vegan friend and the Westside local fills that void. Although reservations are recommended we arrived Sunday for brunch without any and were seated in less than 10 minutes. Mat , at the front was very helpful and welcoming. Our waitress, Hannah was great! She was very friendly , knowledgeable and efficient. Even though the place was jumping (and a bit loud) she never acted or made us feel rushed quite the contrary she made us feel quite welcome like regulars. The food was fantastic! My friend ordered the biscuits and gravy, mushroom gravy with no meat. I had the country Benny and it was great! We lucked out with a parking space right by the door otherwise the street parking is very limited. Highly recommend. I am sure to return soon. Thank you for a pleasant experience."

"it is very good, but q39 is still my favorite. the meat burned ending were juicy and not too fat, the sausage was delicious. corn cheese was mac and cheese sauce with mais, quite interesting. kartoffelsalat was just okay, but I am picky with kartoffelsalat in general, so it could only be me. I would go back, but q39 would be my first choice. I was not offered various types of bbq sauce, but overheared the options of spicy, hot and regular offered at another table near. service was really good overall, friendly waitress, she suggested my order from the combo pick 2 on her special, as it matched what I wanted, that saved me over $2, very appreciated. I love her pickles! cruel and dirty!"

"We went for Easter brunch, but it wasn't too busy. We seemed to have hit a lull and maybe that was the issue. The service was bad sat a long time unacknowledged, took forever to get small things like salt and pepper. Of course our entrees came out while we were still eating our salad. The flavor of the food was excellent but it still seemed a little slapdash mine was cold enough the gravy had congealed. That said, we will almost certainly give it another go."
