    Always a nice atmosphere, and good food. Sat next to a table of people that thought everyone should hear their conversation. Other than that, I always enjoy our meal, and our group had a very nice dinner ranging from octopus to catfish, and Brussel sprouts to beet salad.

    My friend and I drove four hours to eat here before our concert in the area. We had some vehicle problems along the way and were concerned we’d miss our reservation, so we called to update them as we went along. They were very kind and able to keep our reservation, but push it back to a time we would arrive. We ordered the mushroom gnocchi and a burger, both of which were divine. The manager and our server brought us lemon drop shots to end the brunch and help us kickoff our short vacation. We cheers’d away the our car problems and really enjoyed the rest of our vacation. I would plan another trip to Kansas City just to eat and drink here and vibe with these wonderful people. 10/10.
