Restaurants near Hampton Inn & Suites Kansas City-Merriam

We had an amazing waiter Matt. He was very attentive, friendly and knew a lot about the food. Our food was amazing my husband had the 24oz steak and I had the scallops. It was all cooked just as requested and the sides Matt suggested paired very well. We also had the oysters Rockefeller as our appetizer and they were delicious. We plan on returning and asking for Matt to be our waiter again.

This was our first time at Verbena. The atmosphere was lovely. I am gluten and dairy free. The server was well versed in what menu items were gluten and dairy free or could be altered to be gluten and dairy free. The food was delicious and presented very nicely. We will go back. I can't believe we waited so long to try Verbena. Highly recommend.

We had our first filet mignons in years—one medium rare, the other medium well. Both were perfectly prepared and served with excellent mashed potatoes and crisp asparagus. We had delicious cocktails and Caesar salad to begin and finished with crème brûlée and coffee. The server was attentive and responsive. It was an exceptional experience.

We absolutely loved everything on the Menu from the Scallops to Steak Tenderloin and the sides were all prepared very well. The restaurant service was wonderful especially considering it was Valentines Day. A little lighter side music would add to the ambiance is about our only negative comment. Light jazz, classical, easy listening or piano or instrumental. We will be back and highly recommend.

Another delicious visit to this hidden gem. You could order with your eyes closed and still love your choices. Because it’s a small room, people can choose to focus only on their group or enjoy one another’s company. We met a young couple having lunch there for the first time and exchanged our thoughts on favorite dishes. A lovely Valentine’s Day experience.
