Fox and Pearl

Recently, a quick stop “for one drink” turned into a few hours of cozy enjoyment at Fox and Pearl. The lights went out because of a thunderstorm - and it made it even better! The interior is stunning - earthy but upscale. During my most recent visit I enjoyed ~*Wine Wednesday*~ 🍷 for a discounted bottle of Merlot. It was delicious. Like I said, we meant to only stay for once drink… but we messed that up a bit. Because of that we ordered mostly appetizers - the Potted Cheese with Ibis Bakery bread and the House Fries. The House Fries are possibly my TOP FAVORITE fries around Kansas City. They’re seasoned to perfection. There’s something sweet about them that makes them extra unique. Though we skipped an entree this time around, we did not pass on dessert. The Pumpkin Cake with apples and toasted hazelnuts was exceptional. Ending the night with fries and cake… it couldn’t get better.

Eclectic restaurant located in the heart of Kansas City just out side of downtown. We came here for the first time on New Year’s Eve and were excited to try something new. I would give the atmosphere and uniqueness of the building a 10/10 as it has lots of character and historic charm. Since it was New Years Eve they did have a set menu. We started out with some cocktails that were delicious and got the pickled vegetables as an appetizer which turned out to be really spicy. For dinner I got the steak which came out cooked perfect. My girlfriend got the Cacio e Pepe and she enjoyed it, but the portion size was pretty small. Overall it was a good experience, I’d come back for cocktails and sit at the bar next time.

One of the most unique places in Kansas City. I’ve been multiple times for dinner and brunch and it’s amazing each time. The atmosphere alone is a reason to go. The waiters are always so helpful explaining the menu items and giving suggestions. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time!

Went in on a Sunday night for a special occasion dinner with a booking made 2 weeks prior. There is a parking around the back that free. The overall vibe of this restaurant is lovely. It feels like you’re stepping into a midcentury masterpiece. The spiral staircase that leads to another dining room downstairs is cute! The dining room has purpose built midcentury booths that are backed by indoor plants living their best life in front of floor to ceiling glass windows facing the street. It was a bit chilly so dress warm if going in winter. The menu was small but mighty. We ordered a bottle of wine from the list and it was reasonably priced for an international selection. We ordered the potted cheese which is like a cream cheese spread with a bit of spice in it, we asked for extra bread as a side as we had cheese left when we got through what it came with it was that good! Beautiful sourdough bread. We also ordered the sausage, which was tasty but the chucks of apple were too big for the sausage filling and sort of tore the sausage apart when eating. The mustard and greens with it were tasty though. We then ordered the duck breast and the spaghetti added with pancetta. The spaghetti was just the right size for how dense and flavorful it was. They were both delicious and the tableware, plates were very fitting for the vibe. Overall a lovely experience and for finer dining in KC was worth the price tag.

I waited months to come here for my birthday and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was perfect-intimate, warm, welcoming, and unique. I loved having the open oven fire right there to watch as we ate. The food is all local and absolutely delicious.

My family booked a reservation here for my Mom’s birthday and we had such a great time. Our server was fabulous and we loved her suggestions and honesty about others we were deciding between. We sat inside at a corner booth by the bar. There appeared to be a cute darker sitting area down the stairs as well as a really cute patio that was full when we arrived. As you can see from our pictures, we ordered quite a few different things from the potted cheese, the marrow, the sausage (this was our favorite and we joked about ordering 6+ to go lol). I had the lamb which was delicious while both my parents ordered the pork chop which was fabulous. The corn nuts were such a fun and creative addition! For dessert, we tried the watermelon tart (leaves a little to be desired as it didn’t have much flavor outside of the cream), the panna cotta, and the chocolate mousse thing that had torched whipped cream and ice cream (this was our fave and was amazing). The spicy jalapeño cocktail was absolutely amazing as well! Overall with all of these items, we paid about $300 which was to be expected and we left very happy with our total experience. Thanks for having us and we will definitely be referring people to this restaurant! 5⭐️

Our waiter was knowledgeable of all items on the menu. He was kind and the place is clean and elegant. The food was prepared to be presented and tasty! Great place to come!

My food was good but I just was left waiting too many times for a server. Also expect to be full after a meal and three apps and desert...but was not. it was all good I was just left wanting more

Every drink we had was delicious and the food was absolutely delicious. We had most of the small plates on the menu and everything was perfect. We had wonderful service from Megan, she was very attentive and offered great suggestions. Loved the modern swanky vibe of the restaurant and the club down below. I thought I had made reservations and I called to confirm on our way, the hostess, Molly didn't find them but made accommodations to get us in, we were super appreciative.

A good ambience, with tasty entrees. Good specials on wine bottles. Would recommend

Drinks were good, a couple of the apps were good, however I ordered the cacio e pepe after asking if it was made traditionally in a cheese wheel, was assured it was. Got the dish, was absolutely terrible, told the waiter it definitely was not made the way that he assured me it was and he told me "oh yeah, yeah it's not made in a cheese wheel at all". Didn't eat it and they did not take it off the bill. Would never go back here or recommend it. Customer service was terrible. He also told my husband that the bone marrow toast was a vegan option...

We went for brunch on Sunday.. very limited menu.. I had the salad and we shared the potted cheese . Both were very good. I lived the inside of the restaurant.. an old building and very cool seating and nice bar in the middle. I will have to visit for dinner soon. Our server Michael was excellent.

Our drinks were excellent and the meal was also quite good! A great smoky pairing is the Supremesicle mezcal drink with the potted cheese appetizer, they are both sufficiently smoky and compliment each other well! We preferred the smoked pork chop in flavor to the Denver steak; however the sweet potato gnocchi was much better than the squash and turnips accompanying the pork chop. Love the ambience, it's very comfortable inside with soft lighting.

Love the ambiance and great food! We went for the Night Goat pop up on Thursdays. Love the seating downstairs--so cozy. The drinks were amazing!! Food was also very good, but one of our friends got the taco and it was a single (pretty small) taco for $9.....very very disappointing, so not order... The rest of the food was great. Service was 4/5 stars. Overall enjoyed our time and plan on coming back to eat on the main level with the normal menu items.

They recently brought their brunch back and it's just as amazing as you'd expect it to be. on the menu: breakfast sandwich steak & eggs burrito french toast x 2 charcuterie board breakfast cocktails (bloody mary & pimm's cup) our thoughts: you're going to love this brunch! everything from start to finish is phenomenal; all of the flavors are unique, fresh, and so delicious. the atmosphere is warm & welcoming and definitely gives an elevated, neighborhood hangout vibe. our tip: do yourself a favor and order two orders of their house made pickles. also take advantage of their reservations to secure your spot kiddo menu available: nope, kiddo friendly choices & side orders available

This place is an absolute gem! The low lighting and ambiance make for such a cozy and inviting dining experience. I've been here a few times for dinner now, and every time, the atmosphere is just perfect. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Whether it's a date night or a nice evening out with friends, this restaurant never disappoints.

I had dinner at Fox and Pearl a week or so ago when I was in Kansas City for a work conference, and I was really happy I picked it for one of my two dinners while I was in town. I sat at the bar and ordered some wine and way too much food: grilled oyster mushrooms, with creamed cabbage, black garlic, and pickled elderberries; Cacio e Pepe with Grana Padano, Tomme (cheese), spaghetti, and black pepper; and buttermilk Panna Cotta with rhubarb granita, grilled blackberries, and pistachio crisp. I really appreciated their interesting wine selection (naturals and less common varietals) and my glasses of orange blend (Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay) and Lambrusco. I also thought the food was very good (I particularly enjoyed the pasta and the dessert - those grilled blackberries blew my mind). The service at the bar was great (really friendly staff), and the restaurant is beautiful. (They also have a parking lot, which I get weirdly excited about now.) Overall, my meal was delicious, interesting, cool, fun. All the good things.

We dined at Fox & Pearl last fall, so we were overdue for a return. We brought along two first-timers for a fun evening of great food and conversation. We were seated in the dining room adjacent to the open kitchen. Our first time sitting here. Loved the spaciousness and natural light. Shelby, our server, did a great job helping us make menu selections and ensuring we were having an awesome experience. After ordering cocktails, we each selected a different Small Plate for sharing: Coal Roasted Mokum Carrots, Potted Cheese and Ibis Bakery bread, Grilled Chicken Wings and Beef Tartare. We thought all were excellent, but the standouts were the Carrots and Tartare. For entrees, I was disappointed to learn the renown Fried Chicken is only served on Monday. So that will have to wait for another visit. As I had never tried a pasta at Fox & Pearl, I went with Beef Bolognese. The pancetta and fettuccine chittara were incredible. My only complaint was the portion was so small. One of our first-timers went with the Smoked Pork Chop that I had on my last visit and he was incredibly complimentary on the portion size and perfect preparation. My wife and our other guest ordered the Grilled Hanger Steak. They both felt the meat and fries were over-salted. They were tempted to have the kitchen re-do the order, but didn't want to drag out our meal. We finished with some delicious ice wine: Royal Tokaji Red Label. If you've never tried it, it's a great alternative to dessert.

A wonderful farm to table experience in KC! Heavy emphasis on farm to table bc we ended up sitting next to one of the featured farms, Hemme Brothers! We had to get dishes with their cheeses so we did the bread and cheese dip to start which was fantastic. So creamy and a little kick in it which we enjoyed. For our main dish we did the Mezzaluna and it was amazing. It is a small portion so the appetizer was a good idea but it didn't feel heavy at all like most pastas do. The service was great, our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and patient with us. The place itself is so cool. We loved the decor and ambiance. The best thing about this place was it really wasn't that expensive for what I would say was fancier food. I'll be back!

I visited Fox + Pearl on a Friday night for a fun girls night business outing. The interior design is so elegant + enticing upon entry. There is a bohemian feel with the large plants/greenery + tan booths. The perfect vibe for a night in the city with good food, drinks, and indoor scenery. The staff was so friendly + helpful in accommodating us as we did not have a reservation. We came around 5pm + I think that was prime time before any rush they might have. Our waiter was extremely knowledgable about the menu + helped us pick out some snacks for the table. The food was out of my comfort zone, but I'm so happy I tried it! There was a creative + elegant spin on all their dishes, giving an elevated experience to fan favorite foods. Although we only stopped in for some appetizers + cocktails, I am interested in coming back for a full meal! 5/5!!!

A group of ladies came in for a weekend brunch. We were sat in the back patio and it was beautiful. The sun was out, but the trees were just enough that we were shaded for most of the time there. It was a hard decision, but I ordered the French Toast and was happy I did. The cinnamon-orange syrup and strawberry compote was an interesting sounding combination, but it did not disappoint. After looking around at all the menu choices, I definitely want to come back and try more. Everyone was happy with their meals and the service was amazing, even for such a large party! The only thing it was lacking was the Bloody Mary. It tasted more like a glass of tomato juice. We all tried to smother it in pepper, but it needed much more.

Randomly chose Fox & Pearl for my birthday dinner and so glad I did. From start to finish it was wonderful. We do love restaurants that embrace the features and ambiance of older buildings. Lots of unique seating that make want to come back with friends. Food was flavorful, moist and hot. Service was never lacking. Clearly a destination as people with all the coming and going. Both the upstairs & the downstairs bars were busy. We are curious to come back for the 'Night Goat' BBQ.

After driving by Fox & Pearl and following them on social media to drool over the beautiful plants in their window, I finally made it inside. This place is sexy. Plants galore, mood lighting, spiral staircase, vintage decor. It's the perfect date spot or for drinks. I would recommend a reservation because it always seems like it's hoppin' inside, bar seating seemed to cycle pretty quick. As expected, the food and drinks were stellar. They even have some fun N/A drink options. The menu is seasonal, so it's great to have new things to try. With tomatoes in season, we devoured the heirloom tomatoes and fried green tomatoes. The butternut squash ravioli was the star entree for me. Of the food, I will say - the portions are tiny. Like shockingly tiny. Everything looks a lot bigger on Instagram I guess. For two people, 2 starters and 2 entrees left us feeling hungry. Expect to have to order a lot of food! At least it's an opportunity to try more of the menu! And great news - there's plenty of parking! There's a whole lot on the north side off of Summit. Can't wait to come back and try Night Goat Barbecue on a Sunday!

Phenomenal. Absolutely. We came here after eating steak at home and decided to blow the budget on dessert and drinks instead. While the dessert wasn't large enough to satisfy my full craving for sweetness, it did awaken in us a hunger for more. We ordered the potted cheese and will soon be eating that. Will definitely want to come back for a full dinner experience in the future. Update: Wow the pitted cheese absolutely rocked the house! The food at this place is of the utmost quality. Trust me. I can tell.

Such a cute place and has very good food. Small menu but are all different. Would recommend.

The staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. We had the potted cheese for an appetizer; we had never had that before and quite enjoyed it. It was rich and had a nice cheddar kick with a little bite from the horseradish. Their house salad is solid and has many bright flavors; I love the dressing. The house cocktails were okay. So we were pleased with everything except for my flank steak. It was flavorful, but it was very tough; quite disappointed with that dish. The fries had too much seasoning and were heavily salted. We wanted to check out their basement, where you can also get drinks, so our server was sweet enough and checked if any seats were available for us. The basement area was neat; it felt like I was in a wine cellar. The bartender was great, very personable, and attentive, and kept checking if we liked our drinks. Since he could make a good old-fashioned, I ordered a sidecar, which was also excellent.

Second time I've eaten here. Smoked Pork Chop was terrific - I strongly recommend this dish. Mixed green salad was fabulous. Desert was the Buttermilk Panna Cotta with rhubarb- this was excellent. I had an old fashion it was too sweet. Honestly, most bartenders make their old fashions far too sweet. This place would get a five star review if they added an espresso machine and improved their cocktails. I really recommend this restaurant. The chef is fabulous.

Came here for our wedding anniversary, Sat night at 8pm and they were already out of a few things on menu that we wanted to try (the menu is already small) It all was underwhelming.

Night Goat, the Sunday pop-up at Fox and Pearl, was the last of our 13 stops during our KC barbecue safari. As it turned out, we saved the best for last. We ordered brisket, pork belly, sausage, and pulled pork. In every instance, it was the best we tried during this trip. The brisket is cut Texas-style--thick with the point attached--unlike most of the other joints we visited. The pulled pork had plenty of bark and good smoky flavor. the pork belly was fantastic. We had the good fortune to have Kristine, the owner and manager, guide us through our meal. Afterward, she showed us around the multi-faceted restaurant. Hats off to the owners and crew at NIght Goat for serving competition-quality barbecue in a restaurant setting. I only wish that they would add ribs to the menu.

We were here for a birthday celebration. It was fun to be able to share some small plates with friends before ordering individual entrees. The potted cheese is a must try. We were here on a Wednesday which meant select bottles of wine were half price. The environment was fun and lively. The staff were able to provide great recommendations. If you are in the area I would stop by!

10/10! The service and food were so good and in my opinion pretty good portion size! Our servers were so kind and gave great drink recommendations! Would absolutely go back. I'm very curious to go on Sunday to try their BBQ! Will definitely come back!

We went for my husband'office Christmas and I liked it so much that we had them cater my big 5 0. It was a big splurge, but worth it.

Overall service was good. Food was good with the exception of our steak that was overly salted so much we couldn't eat it. I'd give it a shot again for sure.

Fox and Pearl was delish! We had a 930p rezzie Sunday evening and were running a tad bit late. They were super accommodating when I called and asked if we could still be seated although it was nearing 10p, they mentioned the kitchen closes at 10p but the bar remains open and we were totally ok. We arrived and were seated immediately. We very well may have been the only two people there at that time. It was more like 745p for me since my flight had just landed from Los Angeles. We glanced over the menu and got food and cocktail orders in ASAP. We shared a good variety of items from the menu, all of which were tasty and satisfying! Mixed Greens Salad - I've been trying to make many healthy choices lately, flying into the mid west I suppose you wouldn't necessarily have your eye on a green salad but I just needed one to make myself feel better about the choices to follow over the next couple of days ;) This salad was fine if you are looking to mix in some greens with your other menu selections. My girlfriend ordered the Turkey Ballotine - wow! this dish was SUPER flavorful. Highly recommend for those who appreciate flavor. Nothing bland here. Very tasty. I don't think I could eat this all to myself but it's a great dish for someone who can or for sharing and pairing with something a tad bit less flavorful. I ordered the butternut squash Gnocchi - this dish was very nicely done, there were fewer Gnocchi than I anticipated and a good amount of roasted turnips but all in all a very delightful entrée. I'd highly recommend, but you've got to love turnips. They were in both of our dishes, probably had more turnips in one night than I have my entire existence (not a bad thing). Lastly, we shared the Olive Oil poached beets. We both REALLY loved these. They were red beets, served warm and nicely done. They seemed ever so slightly over salted to me, but not to the point of ruining them- could have just used a dash less, since I picked up on it. These were served along side a very yummy ricotta. I ordered the Mighty Mick's, I'm a bourbon babe for life. It's always going to be my go to choice. I can't pass up whiskey on a rock, or neat for that matter ;) My girlfriend had the Still Working, a gin based cocktail and really liked it. We skipped dessert as we had treats back at our hotel to nibble on. All in all, everything was a hit. I'm sure if we were there earlier in the evening the atmosphere would have been more abuzz but it was very close to closing time and them accommodating us for dinner was very much appreciated. Friendly, lovely staff. Highly recommend. Large private parking lot right beside the building.

This was our third visit to Fox and Pearl. My wife loves the atmosphere and the high back booths. She tells everyone about this space, so it was time to visit again with friends visiting us from out of town. We visited on a Sunday evening. We made a reservation to be safe, but it wasn't too busy at 7 PM on Sunday. The evening started with cocktails and the Fois Gras Sausage. All were excellent. I was on a kick of Old Fashioned's that night and thought I would try theirs. It was a perfect choice. Dare I say better than the one I had at Percheron earlier? The Fois Gras Sausage was excellent. Everyone at the table loved it and even thought about ordering another one. Next time. I had the half chicken, someone had the burger special for the evening, my wife had a pork dumpling dish, and another had a pasta dish (forgot the name). Everyone enjoyed their food. Despite the dumpling dish being the server's recommendation, we all agreed, it was our least favorite. Not bad, just not our favorite. Overall Rating - 4.5 Ambiance - 5 Food - 4.5 Drinks - 4.5 Service - 4.5 Price - 4

Had this on my list for years, so glad finally made it in. Came in at 6 on Saturday with no reservation, got a seat at the bar downstairs. Shared charcuterie board, never had rabbit mortadella before. The salami was great, as was the dry aged ham. Served with Ibis bread. We also had the rabbit pate, which was excellent. I had the cab on their By the glass wine list, which was juicy and complemented the food perfectly. For entree, hubby had the mezzaluna pasta, he loved it. I had the fried quail, which was excellent. The breading was savory, crisp perfection. Meat was tender and not over cooked. May be the best quail ever had. For dessert, hubby had the flourless chocolate cake, which was a dense brownie with ganache on top. I had some of the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had in my life. We had amaro to go with each. They have quite a few amaros for not being an Italian restaurant. All in all, a perfect meal. Really like the decor and vibe here. Will 100% be back in the summer to sit on the patio.

A bit disappointed that it's is not THE FOX AND PEARL bistro part when I found out the menu only has BBQ options. I just wanted to have something nice for my birthday , and the information on the Google or website was not clear that ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, they ONLY SERVE BBQ from 11am to 3pm. However, I had no other places in mind and were hungry l stayed and ordered BBQ Nacho, which surprisingly was good and was special like the menus highlighted. The server was friendly and I appreciate that she answered my questions about this place. I may be give it a try next time for the Fox and bistro part. Maybe.

I've been wanting to try Fox and Pearl for a while and while I really enjoyed the experience and atmosphere of the restaurant, I can't say it was my favorite food I've ever had! We started with the potted cheese and grilled chicken wings! The bread and cheese were very yummy but a little pricey for what it was and I'd say the wings were average. For dinner we got the Beef Bolognese which was a very small portion especially for the price and it was just okay. We also got chicken fried quail and it wasn't well seasoned! I would for sure go back and try other items on the menu because the grilled hanger steak looked phenomenal! I do really appreciate the detail of local ingredients!

We had the best server- he explained items on the menu very well, was attentive yet left us alone to chat. Items we loved- potted cheese, it had a nice easy kick of spice and was very good. The beef bolognese was great but super small portion for the price. Charcuterie board was good with pate, hot mustard, all sorts of yummy bits. Atmosphere was great- lighting perfect, vintage feel was awesome! Hanger steak was a little too rare but our friend ate half- said the fries were good. Desserts were ok not spectacular. Overall, good experience.

My favorite part of this establishment is the background music. While it has the finer touches and curated dining menu, the music encourages a fun time. The perfect mixture of upscale, but not stuffy. A visual orgasm. I'm a sucker for unique restaurant layouts and curated ambience. The combination of leather with plants, and marble touches. Oh my heart. And if that doesn't get you going there is the outdoor seating and a lower level that gives a intimate speakeasy feeling. We were told on Thursdays there is a special sandwich and wine menu in the lower level. Definitely will be back for that. This time we came for a little birthday outing. We loved the charcuterie board and all of the things that we ordered. I think next time I would try the meat entrees, as that is their pride and joy. I did not know until after we had ordered. I should've known when I realized they had a special Sunday barbecue brunch advertised. I simply can't say enough about this spot. It's hip, yet not too-cool. It has beautiful ambience and a romantic atmosphere, but you can dress casual. The menu is unique, but not too far out there that you don't recognize names of food.

The decor is really cute. We had a table of 5 and they sat us at a long shared table. The bone marrow was our favorite app and the chicken fried quail was a great entree.

The food was very good. The ambiance of the restaurant is very pleasant and I would come again with a party. The serving portions are smaller for the small plates, so order multiple if you're wanting more of one item. The service was good!

What a great spot. Would go all in on the small plates next time. We were so hungry we ate the small plates before we could grab a picture. And they were so good that we didn't have anything but the plate to show for it anyways. For my main i had the duck and it was cooked perfect. A nice seasonal nod with the stuffed pumpkin - excited to see what is in the next rotation. The large community seating table in the middle of the restaurant plays well with a shared plate restaurant, smaller reservation I would hope to be sat at one of their more intimate options. Our service was great and our server gave great recommendations- pretty easy to do when everything on the menu was a knockout. My only complaint would be some of the portion sizes, guess that means we will just have to order more next time!

Great barbecue and fresh delicious tortillas are an elite combination. So glad that Fox and Pearl transforms to Night Goat on the weekends- went here with a friend for brunch and we had an amazing time building our own tacos with tortillas, brisket, pulled pork, sauces, and pickled veggies. The brisket is the star here- but the pulled pork was delicious in its own right. I will definitely be back soon!

Small plate/sharable plate concepts are my favorite type of meal. I really enjoyed getting to try different foods that I haven't before. I am not a fan of the texture of bone marrow but the flavor of the huckleberry jam was delicious. Each item was PACKED with flavor, 10/10 on flavor for each dish. The only critique I have is the size of the plates, they could have had one more serving for each dish and they would have been perfect. The prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food.

Followed this restaurant and Chef from Lawrence KS (under different name then) Remarkable food and cocktails. You will not be disappointed. Go!

Casual and intimate, Fox and Pearl was delightful to try. It's not overly crowded, with high ceilings and an area with an open kitchen, plus cute and can be romantic outdoor seating space. Everything we had tried was very good. Duck breast had a nice Smoky flavor and not greasy. The purée was also pleasantly tasty and paired well with the duck along with the sauce underneath. The pot pie crust was nice and flaky. The inside was a bit on the saltier side. Tiramisu was moist and a good finish with the crispy ginger pieces. But my favorite of all was the bone marrow butter with 1900 Barker bread. The marrow spread smoothly and had a bit of a sweet and savory taste. The bread was so good and the butter tasted even better on the bread. I love bread and I definitely recommend this appetizer dish. Looking forward come again to try more things from here!

Cozy joint off the main drag in KC. Tasty small bites. Attentive service. Would go again.

The ambience of the restaurant enticed me. I was very excited that our bachelorette party would be dining here. The service was good at first but I was slight offended when the server told me that this is how it's suppose to look. I never asked for a credit or even a remake, or a manager, I didn't want It to be a issue I just simply didn't eat the food but she asked was everything okay when I declined a Togo box considering I didn't eat the food and I just told her It was a little too pink for me. She sent the manager over and instead of apologizing for the inconvenience or asking if I would like a new order or something different, instead he came over and said that the chicken was perfectly fine and safe and explained to me that what I seen was called a artery and that arteries are safe to eat and all animals have then. He was mansplaining to me and honestly It didn't feel good. I hate that this experience was like this, I really wanted to be better. I heard such great things in previous reviews. Still paid, drink was good so a star for that and the atmosphere. Also, if you don't eat beef or pork, there are very limited choices on their menu this season.

The environment was quaint and intimate. There was non-alcohol option to drink. The kale salad is now in standing with the kale salad from Westside Local. The beet dish made me second guess my disdain for beets. My girlfriend and I having been talking about how we must go back!

A friend made the arrangements and we just showed up pretty excited to try this place out. When we arrived our table was still occupied so they sat us downstairs in our own corner which was pretty private and nice for us to be as loud as we wanted to. The place is very dimly lit and we found it difficult to read the menu. Our waitress was quite friendly and attentive and very talkative and loud, but I did catch her being a little rude to the guy from the kitchen who brought out some dishes. Kind of off putting. 4/5 - Fried chicken, we ordered the whole chicken and nice assortment of pickled veggies as a side. Tasted great. 3/5 - Carrots not pictured - grilled carrots, was ok, not my favorite 2/5 - Sausage - very dry, didn't taste that great and was a small portion 3/5 - Lamb - very fatty and cooked nicely, but was lacking flavor 4/5 - Pot pie - probably my favorite dish that was ordered, two was ordered for the table 4/5 - Potted cheese - the cheese was very good and bread was nice too 3/5 - Bone marrow - this was ok, kinda bland, not enough bread We had two bottles of wine which weren't my favorite either. One was an orange wine and the other was a white wine that was recommended by the waitress. Not sure if I'd come back. ‍

Strengths: Ambiance, staff, and the price is right ($67 for each of us, after sharing 4 small plates, an entry and a glass of wine each, WITH tip) We went in September 2023 and shared the heirloom tomato, mixed greens, duck terrine and bone marrow small plates, then we split the papardelle with lamb bolognese. There was almost no actual marrow in the bone marrow dish- just the marrow-flavored oils and the huckleberry. The bread it came with was the best part. We liked but didn't love the rest of the dishes- every dish had fresh, delicious ingredients, but the harmony of the flavors felt off- some strange pairings that often felt too tart/sharp on the tongue. The marrow flavor pairings felt just right but again... Almost no actual marrow. The rest of the experience was fantastic and I wold be open to coming back and trying different dishes.

This is one of the best restaurants in Kansas City! The food is extremely fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly executed. Parking was easy, with parking on the side, and any time I don't have to do street parking, I highly appreciate it. My husband is vegetarian so I make sure that the menu is veggie-friendly and this place did not disappoint. Below is a review of all the items we ate, ate here a while ago and the menu is seasonal so some of the items we ate are no longer on the menu. 1. Fried tomatoes: 10/10. My favorite thing I ate. The tomatoes were fried well and dipping sauce was incredibly delicious. 2. Focaccia: My husband's favorite thing. The butter was seasoned so well that he didn't even realize he was eating butter. Loved the bread. I'm not a huge bread person, but this was really good bread 3. Pasta: I don't remember exactly the name and it's no longer on the menu. Honestly my least favorite thing I ate, but still good. 4. Tomatoes and burrata: I love burrata so it's hard to miss, but also hard to stand out. The burrata here was pretty good, the tomatoes were well seasoned 4. Dessert: peach dessert with vanilla ice cream and smoked peanuts- didn't see it on the current menu. It was pretty good, not a top dessert I've ever had but a good end to the dinner. Husband doesn't likes smoked flavors so he didn't love it, but overall a good dessert. Overall, this is one of my favorite places I have been to, defiantly a must go for a relaxing dinner date

Wife wanted to go to Fox and Pearl, so we went for our anniversary. I wasn't overly excited but, hey, food! Was surprised by the casual, rustic atmosphere, and we really liked the server, whose name I either have forgotten or maybe never knew? In any case, we ordered a couple cocktails which were maybe a tad small, but delicious nonetheless. They had an appetizer special that I think they called "griddle cakes" or "pancakes" made with squash and other good stuff, and it kinda blew us away how delicious they were. In fact, I wish we had each ordered our own. They were really, REALLY good. Surprise #2: Although there were certainly the expected entrees in the $35 range and higher, my wife's and my first choices were around $20 each. I had the gnocchi (awesome) and my wife had the pappardelle (also awesome). Overall, an incredibly delicious meal, excellent service, and good prices. We will be back, and not necessarily just for special occasions.

Truly fabulous place that perfectly speaks to its "country chic" inspiration. From the beautiful bar to the charming outdoor patio, Fox and Pearl delivers not only on their ambiance but also on their tasty menu. A lovely restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or just life itself!

We ate downstairs at the bar and had wonderful service, our food was amazing and loved the atmosphere. Great date place.

The vibe of this place is awesome! Service was great, and food was really flavorful. Can't give it 5 stars because ravioli was served cold.
