- JJosephKansas City / Kansas •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAlways excellent. From the wait staff to the management, everyone is friendly, attentive, informative, and engaging. All the food is outstanding. With new menu items ever present, you are sure to be delighted. From the inexperienced sushi “virgin” to the connoisseur, your palette will be delighted every visit. Thank you Jen for entertaining us once again. Your are a beautiful person. Raul our waiter (this time) facilitated a memorable Happy Birthday. If you have never tried sushi, do not “try” some “somewhere”. Go to the best. Give it a try. If you do not like sushi from Blue Sushi Sake Grill, then you will not like it anywhere else. 😉More infoBlue Sushi Sake Grill - Power & Light DistrictPrice: Moderate• Sushi• Kansas City•4.8
- LLeonardKansas City / Kansas •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOutstanding service and friendly engagement from the initial greeting through the entire meal all the way to our departure. Paisley was an absolutely wonderful waitress. Great hospitality and insightful suggestions. Unlike other area competitors, the staff acknowledged our special event multiple times. That was not the case with previous anniversary dinners unfortunately spent at other area restaurants. Food was quite good as well.More infoBristol Seafood + Steak + SocialPrice: Expensive• Seafood• KC Power & Light District•4.6

- LDLyzzieDKansas City / Kansas •4 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 16, 2024We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my mom's 63rd birthday. Kitty our waitress was unbelievable exceptional 10/10 I hope our appreciation showed in her tip. Thank you kitty again. We arrived and were greeted by absolutely beautiful decor and live soft music. we were seated right away. We did have reservations. Our drinks came out first our appetizers about 10min later. And the portion sizes are perfect, (bigger then usual) reserve has michelin star worthy food and aura but bar and grill prices. We were so very impressed everything was absolutely delicious we ordered the crispy brussel sprouts and lump crab cake for our appetizers. The KC strip, the citrus black cod, and the baked chicken for our meal. It's definitely upscale perfect for just drinks or a date. I look forward to returning.More infoThe American Reserve Bar & GrillePrice: Moderate• American• Downtown / River Market•4.1

Discover River Market
Situated on the banks of the Missouri River, the Downtown and River Market neighborhoods of Kansas City are hubs of Midwestern culture. Along with the museums and art galleries located along the riverfront, you'll also find busy sports bars and beer gardens that draw crowds in on game nights. The neighborhood is known for its "KC-style" barbecue, which features ends of pork ribs slow-cooked over a tomato-based sauce with sweet and tangy undertones. The downtown area also caters to many other styles of cuisine with its hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurants, Italian family-style eateries, and upscale steakhouses. There are plenty of traditional, laid-back locals-only pubs and craft brew houses as well.
