CHARISSE KC

My mom and I had a fantastic meal here! It was a busy Saturday night for the restaurant but they handled it very well. We felt attended to and everything was delicious. Filet was cooked perfectly and the cocktails were great!

Such a fantastic new years eve experience!! We had a large group and they executed it smoothly and it was all so delicious. Fantastic job. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff!!

I've attempted to eat at Charisse several times. Both other times a friend and I went they were closed. Their hours are fairly narrow so make sure you're able to be seated before you go, especially after 1 to make sure they can still serve you. Also note that the parking garage that is directly next to the restaurant is *not* available for restaurant parking oddly. I was directed to the opposite side of the building, which is Commerce Bank parking as well. The most convenient place to park for this restaurant is right outside the commerce entrance leading from the parking garage. The menu itself is the perfect size. Not too short not too long, enough to guarantee that care is put into everything that served. The prices are very fair as well considering the location and the quality of food. They have several white and red wines by the glass as well as a cocktail menu. They offer several different flavors of homemade lemonade. We ordered a variety of sides and appetizers which were all delicious. My favorites were the gnocchi and the pork dumplings. They were busy, but not full, on a weekday so a table should not be hard to find if you plan ahead. I'll definitely come back here to see how the menu evolves. It's nice to see a quality bistro in downtown!

The food was excellent! The French dip didn’t disappoint. The ambiance, however, was a bit off. We came on a Saturday night and it was very quiet. The servers were in casual street clothes, which seemed kind of strange?

A decent meal. Easy to get a seat and very nice staff. Our two quibbles are that they should serve French bread with the meals, as you would hope in any restaurant claiming to be French or French inspired. Also, a touch too cold. Maybe turn the heating up a tad. Parking just outside on Friday night was a plus.

Amazing Hosts. Very professional, the chef is amazing. Very clean and pleasant, you even feel good in the restroom. We had a small wedding reception there and it was worth every penny.

I've not actually dined in. I work downtown close and their take out menu is really good and much more reasonable than the dine in prices. I've tried the chicken wrap, hamburger and gyro. All very good. They come with a good portion of hand cut truffle fries or opt for a salad or soup, I tried the tomato basil and it was very good. On my most recent visit I ordered the chicken sandwich. I enjoyed this too. You can order online and schedule to pick it up. I normally walk somewhere for lunch so only a short walk and then back to the office. I will say I was disappointed with 1 order. When ordering a bottled water, the menu clearly says Dasani water. What I received was a cheap generic city bottled water. I like Dasani over other brands and why I ordered water. Needless, I haven't ordered water since. Overall I like the food and will continue to order online for lunch.

Very elegant and delicious. The menu only had a few options for lunch & entrees. All of the options sounded tasty! Our waitress was very helpful too. We got the duck wontons to start and they were soooo juicy! I got the filet mignon and my boyfriend got the pork chop. Everything was amazing!
