"Ooo la la!. We joined another couple for our first visit to Café Provence last week and we were all blown away by the food quality, the service, the ambiance, and the overall experience. We never expected an exquisite gem like this to be nestled in a suburban shopping center. Walking in is like being transported to a classic French restaurant on the Left Bank. The artwork and the 1950s French fashion photos combined with the way the tables were set and arranged (and the de rigueur bar area) to provide a wonderful warm welcome. The food and wine were spectacular-classic French fare executed with skill and passion. This is a family-run restaurant and the love and care that go into each offering were front and center. Some favorites: a warm octopus salad that was perfectly grilled, seasoned, and sauced; the best escargots in town; a French onion soup that bursts with layered flavors; and unbelievably skillful handlings of salmon (seared, with cabbage, mushrooms and a sublime sauce), pork (braised, with chorizo and pea risotto), chicken (sautéed, with grilled asparagus and an otherworldly Morel cream sauce), and a cod special (seared, with sautéed mushrooms, prosciutto, and a magnificent sauce). Don't miss desserts! A local woman provides freshly made sorbets that are inventive and delicious. All the other desserts are prepared in house and are perfect ways to cap a meal, especially the banana crepes and the chocolate cake. The service is friendly, impeccable, and unobtrusive. It was a perfect (and unexpected) evening; we are already planning a return."

"This is like a small grocery store and restaurant combines business. I have some good things from both sides. A bowl of soup, a sandwich and a salad ordered for lunch. They all taste good. Not sure how French they are. I think this is like a big Potbelly sandwich or Panera Bread-ish square. We also have some take-out cooled food plates from the food side. You look pretty good, but you have no chance to try them. You have many French food items on this page. You also have a small corner that makes cheese and meat as you order them. Overall, I find it a good place to take a quick bite with friends."

"decided to participate in Restaurant Week (first time ever) to help us mothers 70. celebrate birthday. We started the Rave reviews of Story when we were desperate in ideas (we live about an hour west of KC and were never in Prairie Village) and decided that we should be adventurous, though it was 6pm. Our first call was to Story and without a problem, secured the first available reservation at 730 hrs. how happy is that? Our ideal table was waiting for us and the place was full! Very sophisticated young hip crowds with a mixture of groups; Shop (backet and tie), couples date night and the table next to us was a girl night out. Fast, professional and recommended service (we needed help with champagne choices). We leave from the chef in his restaurant week festive dinner menu: Caesar salad or minenstrone soup starter and a selection of short ribs or swordfish entree. Special birthday news in chocolate was added to Mom's bread pudding dessert (which was included in the restaurant weekly menu). btw them HEAT the coffee cups so your coffee pipping hot when it comes to your table to not mention the accompanying house made sugar cubes! If you are looking for a culinary experience to impress the most valuable parents on their special day, this is a must! Only the right portion sizes, eloquently paired with sides and every bite combines the best of flavors... she has already asked if we could make a return visit to Valentine's Day. Bon appetite for all these foods this is a must try!"

"The steaks ribeyes were some of the best I’ve had in a restaurant in quite a while. Good thickness, good marbling, cooked perfectly to medium rare. Seems easy but so many places get it wrong. The sides were great. We didn’t have anything left for the to go box, so that tells you something. This place is consistent and well run. Thanks for a great meal. We were seated in a reserve banquet room, so that’s my only beef. A little disconnected from the real ambiance of the place. But they were busy so good for them"

"The food was amazing. Our first experience with The Tavern was the location around street or that area and the feel was homey and nice. The staff was incredibly friendly and our waitress was funny and super nice. The Leawood location does not feel like that, it’s not memorable, it just feels like a random American food restaurant you can find on the plaza. The host was nicer than our waitress however she seemed like something was bothering her. Our waitress was rude and was acting impatient as if she had something else to be doing"
