French cuisine that is masterfully prepared. The decor is very appealing. Our server, Skylee, was most helpful in assisting us making food choices. This is a fine place to dine located on the street car line. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out. Parking can be tricky. The restaurant has a private parking lot off of Walnut Street. I received a text from the restaurant instructing is where to park. That was most helpful. Reservations are probably a good idea especially during busy periods.

Having lived in London for over five years, I can confidently say this was nothing more than a cheap American imitation of what they think “tea time” should be. The food was very underwhelming—the breads were stale, the flavors on the trays were disappointing, and the tea wasn’t served in the traditional British manner, of amazing loose leaf tea, with fresh crumpets or large butter croissants. The overall atmosphere felt pretentious and overly excessive. The first photo shows their food; the second is from Kensington Palace Tea Room—an enormous difference in quality, atmosphere, and price. Perhaps their dinner service is better, but I won’t be coming back to find out. Overpriced for poor tea service and certainly not an authentic experience.

My friend & I went for high tea! It was super cool. The place is so moody & just a perfect setting/vibe for any occasion. The tea experience was so cute. The food & tea were pretty good overall. I definitely want to make it back for dinner one night because I hear that’s really good!

A well-deserved five stars in every category! We visited for our wedding anniversary and were blown away by the quality of the food, helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, and the extraordinary decor and atmosphere! I’ve been telling all my Kc-area people about it for weeks. Definitely a perfect place for a celebration. You park in the back lot behind the restaurant, and give the hostess your license plate number for validation. Coming from the suburbs we were dreading the parking situation but upon making a reservation we got detailed instructions from Tailleur. It was wonderful!

A fabulous experience! Rebecca was our waitress and she was impeccable. Everything on the Tasting Menu is incredible particularly the Brussels, Butter Beans with foccacia and fresh butter, and the French 75. So much food in the Tasting menu that I had to take home half of the main course and dessert. So good! And amazing staff.

Came in for a midday bite and had a great experience. I went with the french dip and finished with the lemon curd tart. Both were really satisfying. The service was smooth and the place felt comfortable. Looking forward to returning sometime soon.

First time here for dinner. We ate early since we were going to a concert at the nearby Irish Cultural Center at 7 p.m. Easy parking behind the restaurant that they validate (have your license plate number handy). Our server was knowledgable and helpful. For the mains, my wife had the salmon with leeks, which was perfectly cooked. I had the coulotte steak with chimichurri sauce and beef fat potatoes - which was fine but I found myself having a little buyer's remorse that I didn't order the duck or pork chop (which our excellent server Rebecca recommended). We shared the enormous cauliflower side with brown butter, capers, parsley and pine nuts. There were three highlights about the meal that call for a return visit: the frozen strawberry torte dessert (it was stunningly satisfying), the butter beans (a luscious meal unto itself), and the bistro salad.

Great food and service! Recommend making a reservation. They have a small lot behind the building and the restaurant will validate your parking for free.

No special event needed to eat at this amazing restaurant with fabulous food, cocktails, tall ceilings, great lighting, decor of antiques with equestrian touches. There are 2 floors and both are visually stimulating. Started our evening with French 75 cocktails while reading the menus. Went directly to entrees ordering the Coulotte Steak, very tender, the Sakara Pork Chop served off the bone, so delicious and a side of Butter Beans which I've never had, they were so good and even better the next day ( ps the B52's have a song titled Butter Beans!). Chef Jeff Workman story sounds very similar to famous Chef Jamie Oliver. When he was younger he learned to cook from watching TV while is mom worked as a hair dresser. Later in life he worked at a restaurant as a dishwasher, asked to start on the line as a position was open where he quickly caught on. He's now the chef! Enjoy!

Tricky to find, 2 doors down from the theater. Easy parking in back and you can just go through the back patio entrance. The interior is quaint and subdued. Soft lighting if you want to escape from the sun and the world outside. Extensive wine selection and even if they don't have one for paring they substitute with something else. Top notch. Start with the cauliflower, which is very unique and the sauce is incredible. The burger was rich and smooth. The duck was a nice sized portion and the flavor - wow. If you dip in the sauce it takes to a new level. Carrot cake was rich as expected. The icing was extra rich I would say decadent. If you wonder about the cake, it definitely is real because you can see bits of carrots and the cake. Overall, great experience, look forward to going back, maybe eating outside on the patio and the weather is nicer. Service was incredible.

We were very excited to try this place out. It was an odd experience. We showed up for our reservation and our table was not ready. No big deal, we went across the street to the sister bar to wait and have a drink there. They were kind enough to call us when our table was ready so we headed back over. I ordered three different drinks before they clarified that they don't have any bar, they pre-batch their cocktails every night and do not keep any liquor so they can't even do a simple gin and tonic. Weird but fine, all the pre made drinks are super sweet and I'm not a wine fan. They only had six beers too so drink options are limited if wine is not your thing. The food was hit or miss. The brie came out cold (not sure how that happened) and the toast with it had no flavoring. The roasted cauliflower was delicious, I highly recommend it. The sauce was great with a good amount of garlic and salt. The steak tartare was also a great pick. I got the steak for my main and it was the most under seasoned steak I've ever had. My partner got the duck and it was some of the best duck I've ever had.

Had a very great experience at Tailleur. The Steak and Frites that I got was out of this world! The green sauce that they put onto of the steak just added an additional level of goodness to the meal. I wish I had more of it! The steak was cooked perfectly and you could tell the quality of the meat was high. The service was above what you would have at a regular sit down restaurant. The restaurant is very scenic as you look around at all the things on the walls. People around us would ask waiters to take picture for them which they were happy to do. The only two negatives I had was the place was pretty hot. I left sweating by the end of my meal. The booths were also pretty small for larger people. Once people behind us left I moved their booth chair away to give us more room which helped a lot. Those two things aside, I loved my experience and the food at Tailleur.

Tailleur offers an afternoon tea service every last Saturday of the month. They had a nice selection of both savory and sweet treats that you'd typically find on a tea menu. They also have cocktails and champagne for additional cost. Overall fun time and nice treat. The tea itself could be stronger and we felt it was an overlooked item, especially being that it is a tea after all. Note, the gratuity is already added on.

A late dinner for us first-timers at this French bistro. We were late for our reservation but called ahead to let them know. We were warmly greeted upon arrival. The restaurant has two floors for dining. My mind is playing tricks on me as I believe there were a few sidewalk tables, too. Bathrooms are on the first floor. Interesting interior design that focused horseback riding. Dark colors. We dined upstairs. Started with the focaccia. It was too salty for both of us although we understand the popularity. We both chose the 6oz steak frites teres major. My steak was perfectly cooked to medium as requested. Loved those skinny, shoestring fries cooked in beef tallow. She overheard someone say their steak was chewy but we had no complaints. We shared the crème brûlée. It was good; not too sweet. She had a Hugo spritz; there isn't a formal bar. It's more of a wine-focused restaurant. There is validated parking in the rear but my date overlooked it. We parked in a strip lot one block north. She enjoyed the experience but wanted a full cocktail bar. And a more visible exterior sign. LOL Staff were friendly and professional. I got the impression the diners were regulars. More than monthly. Just a feeling. We would return. Highly recommended (solid 4.5).

This was a really tough place to rate. It's a cool space, the service was friendly and attentive, things that are really hard to get right were absolutely nailed, but... the things that should be basic for a restaurant like this were really disappointing. First, the good. The Steak Tartare was very tasty, and the housemade potato chips were such a smart vehicle for it. Added a wonderful salty crunch which paired beautifully! Then the Cauliflower... I am tepid on cauliflower, and when it came out as a full head I was skeptical, but man, was it perfect. Roasted beautifully, and the sauce with it was incredible. Likely the best version of Cauliflower that I've ever had. Finally, the Duck. Duck is always a risky proposition, if it's not done right it's pretty bad, but this came with a "brown butter mustard" that intrigued me enough to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. It was one of the best duck dishes I've had, and that's saying something. Now, the bad. Our table wasn't ready when we got there for our reservation, which is no biggie, busy Saturday night. But when the host asked us to have a drink at their sister bar (Cheval) across the street instead of having one there, I was a little confused. We soon learned why. When we were sat and our server asked for our drink order, we asked for a lemon drop martini and were told they couldn't do it. We asked for a different drink, and the server said they couldn't do that, either. She then explained that they pre-batch their cocktails and do not have a full-service bar, which was confusing since they have one across the street... Then, the Toasted Brie. The flavor was good, but it came our barely warm- that's a big miss for a place like this. Finally, the Coulotte Steak- while cooked to the temp we requested- was shockingly bland. It barely had any normal, beefy steak flavor which was very disappointing. I would give this 3.5 stars if I could, because the good was great. But I couldn't go with 4 because, as I said earlier, stuff that should be staples were huge let-downs. They had a lot on the menu that sounded fantastic, and the good was good enough for me to try some other dishes, and I just hope that they are the hits.

We had such a romantic date at Tailleur in midtown. The lowlights and decor help create an intimate, charming space. Stephanie - our waitress, was so helpful and attentive the entire night. The menu had many excellent options to choose from, but not too many where it overwhelms you. I don't eat French food as often but I definitely want to now! My seasonal mocktail, duck breast and the focaccia bread were my absolute favorite. We will definitely be back for future date nights here.

We got the Chef's menu and it was good for what it was. Overall the highlights were the duck and the focaccia. The sear on the duck was some of the best I've had. Although the salad was a bit too salty and the crudo was subpar for me. Service was excellent though and the pacing of the meal was perfect. Overall a nice experience albeit expensive.

We visited Tailleur for one of their high tea events before Christmas. No other way to describe it than it felt like we were temporarily transported from Kansas City to Europe for an exquisite afternoon high tea. From start to finish the experience was magical. The restaurant itself feels like a step back into vintage Europe and as we walked by the pastry counter it felt like being in a French patisserie with towering displays of macaroons and cakes. From vintage tea cups and pots to a tower of sweet and savory pastries and finger sandwiches to attentive waitstaff, they nailed every part of this experience and made it a truly decadent afternoon! The tea is a limited event they do every so often so you have to watch out for reservations. It is on the pricier side, but we felt the overall experience was so unique that it was worth it.

We had a great dining experience all around. From the minute we walked in we were greeted warmly by staff. Dave was GREAT. We had fun time joking around with him all evening. He and Mark checked in on us frequently. Our server, Jake was so sweet and did a great job. There was a small miscommunication with one of the meals. They quickly took it away and remade it. They also threw in a tequila shot to compensate for the bit of extra wait time. It was a wonderful evening celebrating two friends birthdays and we all, of course, will be returning and recommending!

New chef, same great experience. Our second time here, I was excited to celebrate our anniversary here as our first time dining here was unforgettable. As we were getting checked in, the host was transparent about their new chef and menu, but I wasn't phased. To drink, I really loved their old fashioned. Very well done. To start, we had the focaccia bread which was delicious. For my entree, I had the scallops. I've only had scallops once before, so I'm no expert, but I don't think I could have enjoyed it more. The texture of the scallops was great and the way it paired with the flavors of the brussel sprouts, bacon, and grits was truly fantastic. On top of the outstanding food, I'm a fan of the atmosphere as well. They have their own unique style in cultivating a classy atmosphere and have the nice options of patio as well as upstairs and downstairs seating. I like their intimate tables for 2-4 but I would say they could accommodate your party of 8-10 if that's what you're looking for (I would say you need to make a reservation for that though).

Tailleur has a very small menu. I ordered the scallops and they were just OK. Maybe French cuisine is not for me. No hard alcohol, so we ordered a bottled wine. Decor is cute and welcoming!

The vibes were immaculate, the food was superb, the service was fantastic. All around amazing experience. It was very hard to decide what to order because SO much sounded good. Get the cauliflower-you won't regret it. I wish there was more description on the menu on what each dish entailed-the cauliflower was a mystery based on the description but lived up to the yelp hype! We are from out of town, and only get a date in KC 2/year. It will be hard for us to go anywhere but Tailleur for our next date nig

Finally tried this spot and so glad we did! The fresh bread basket was delicious, the entrees were filling and tasty, and the desserts were fun and yum!! I got a gnocchi dish which was vegetarian so i just added chicken for protein! It was great, I had never had a gnocchi dish like it. The steak was good and came out cooked as ordered which is always key for my husband's approval. The desserts were unique and tasty!! We will be back for sure.

I tried Tailleur with a few friends for the first time on a Tuesday night. I loved the french bistro/ Ralph Lauren vibes. Would love to come back and enjoy the outdoor seating under the patio lights. The food was exquisite. On Tuesdays, they have a prix fixe three course menu option. The staff were friendly and gave us good suggestions. It was a great evening filled with good food and good conversations!

First off there is paid parking lot which is in the back as there is no parking in the front. So be sure to go there to park. Once you enter there head to front and check in at desk. Staff very friendly and there is seating up stairs and on main level. Ambiance is very quaint and inviting. There is a new chef who is working on building new menu, they had a new years menu that they are keeping what worked and they are taking suggestions. We ordered the frittes as a starter and the lobster and salmon as mains. Both very good portions are average size which is smaller than most American restaurants so I'd suggest a couple appetizers if you are really hungry. We tried 3 deserts the chai tea cake it had very good chai flavoring and lemon curd. The passionfruit trifle delicious my favorite. And the carrots cake, it was rich and full of flavor. Overall great dining experience, excited to see the menu the chef decides on.

Tailor ur serves "High tea" on the las5 Saturday of each month by reservation only. Two friends and I reserved weeks ago for yesterday, August 31. We were challenged to locate the restaurant despite the very specific directions emailed with our reservation. Partly due to construction on Main St., the front entrance is small and obscured. However, on our second trip around the block we found the parking lot with a direct and very attractive entrance and patio to the restaurant. We were seated without delay and our High Tea experience began. It is good that it is a fixed price menu with few choices to be made as the noise level was deafening in the restaurant. To the degree that my friends and I had to repeat virtually anything said. In looking around the restaurant, all surfaces on the ground floor are hard. With some sound absorbing panels, it would be much more pleasant to dine there. The menu is nowhere listed online--only the $60.00 price point. It seemed high upon making the reservation, and upon being there it seemed exorbitant for what was served. For beverage included in the $60 one could have tea or coffee. Anything else was an up charge. The food presentation was typical for an afternoon tea; a three tier serving tray with finger sandwiches in the bottom, scones with butter and jam in the middle, and a mini croissant; And pastries on top with a few grapes and strawberries. Surprisingly there was no clotted cream served for the scones, nor victoria sponge cake. . The finger sandwiches were typical: egg salad, cucumber, cream cheese, and salmon salad. Crustless half sandwiches on pretty dry white bread. The server was attentive. There was an incremental 20% gratuity added to the final bill which totaled ~$78.00. Including tax and tip. It was a fun experience but not one I'm likely to repeat. All food was good ( minus the pretty dry white bread sandwiches), the service excellent, and the decor charming. I'll likely go again to try out dinner.

Tailleur delivers on its promise of delicious French-inspired cuisine, especially during happy hour. The atmosphere is chic, and the menu offers some standout dishes. The chicken beet salad had great flavors, with tender chicken and vibrant beets, but it felt a bit skimpy for the price. The salmon rillette was my favorite item off the happy hour menu, creamy salmon paired with a hearty crostini. Overall, Tailleur KC is a good spot for an elevated dining experience!

If you haven't been to Tailleur (pronounced Taylor) yet, put it on the TOP of your Kansas City list. From the team behind The Russell, Tailleur brings European comfort food to Midtown. I asked my coworker if she wanted to go to France for lunch and she said, of course! So here we were enjoying frites, french onion soup, and smoked salmon toast in what could only be classified as a European cafe with acquired antiques including riding equipment ready for a polo match. Upstairs acts as overflow - although it hardly feels second class - and is also for private parties - and RUMORED high teas in the future? (yes please!). And, of course - my favorite part - I can't wait to come back for happy hour or dinner on their outdoor patio.

I had an amazing experience at Tailleur. I told the server that I am gluten free and he clarified whether or not it was celiac or an intolerance. I told him that I have celiac. He then went to the kitchen and brought back a handwritten list of everything on the menu that I could eat. Here is the list: Green Salad Granny Smith Apple and Turnip Parsnip Soup Black Peppered Butter Beans Ora King Salmon Scallops I had the Black Peppered Butter Beans and they were delicious! For dessert they had a flourless brownie that was also really good. In addition to the incredible food, the restaurant has great vibes and a nice patio in the back. I would highly recommended this restaurant and I will definitely be back.

The decor and cleanliness of this restaurant is a definite gem for KC. They also offer free validated parking for up to six hours in their back parking lot. The host was accommodating and friendly as well. Service was a bit lacking when we ate, some plates were not brought out or silverware but it was quickly rectified once we asked. The standout dish for me was the fries, I would highly recommend as they do it well here. We ordered the focaccia which was just a bit harder than I would have preferred on the outside, a duck with fries entree, scallops, and a carrot cake for dessert. The duck seemed a bit overcooked and the carrot cake came out colder than we anticipated. The scallops dish was solid and had nicely balanced grits. The cocktails were done very well. Overall, for the price point, I didn't feel that the dishes were a must have for me to come back. However I do appreciate the curated atmosphere and the fries.

When I lived in Westport, I used to go for walks on Main Street and gawk in the windows of Tailleur at the ambiance. Thankful for my girlfriend who finally took me inside. To start, do you live in fear of going to businesses on Main Street because of the endless construction and lack of street parking? Never fear, there's a lot behind the building with ample parking! I felt like I stepped into an episode of period piece about a fancy rich family who are big into horses. The vibes inside are incredible. Every design choice from the massive ghostly up-lit wedding dressing and riding boots above the host stand to the elegantly mismatched plates and silverware is perfection. We sat downstairs, which I think was the right choice because it wasn't too loud and I could peak into the kitchen through a tiny window. The food was immaculate. If there's one thing I'm going to do, it's order every small plate on the menu. The stunt-meat entrees (massive lobster tail!!) and gorgeous sandwiches all looked delectable, but I think you'll miss out if you skip the apps. The mussels were to die for - warm and spicy in the back of the throat. I wish I could swim in the broth. Perfectly sweet-and-savory ricotta toast with a surprisingly big portion! Crisp and herbaceous arancini! Save room because there's a dessert trio option and you will want to try the desserts. I have been to Enchanté, Tailleur's sister bakery across the street, and I was blown away, so I had high expectation-- that were met and dare I say exceeded. The sticky toffee pudding is a must, and the seasonal bread pudding was a showstopper. Amazing experience! Can't wait to come back!

I know it's not their fault, but between construction and GPS, thinking it on the other side of the street, my nerves were shot by the time I arrived , only to be ignored by server for 15 minutes. Once the order taken went smoothly, but like I said, nerves were shot and didn't enjoy . I took most home. Side note the Macaroons were awful, they were overcooked. There were hard and crispy. Everything else was good the pistachio tart was the die for! And the chicken sandwich was amazing, The skone was even good!

The atmosphere was bespoke. The food was delightful and appropriately portioned to avoid feeling overfull, despite multiple courses. Our server (I believe it was Stephanie?) was wonderful! She gave us the best recommendations. We had the ricotta toast to start, great and light. Then the French onion soup, along with the grilled peach salad - loved how refreshing it was. Then our main courses were the lamb rack and coq au vin. Then finally lime tart for dessert! Honestly my favorite part was the tart. Their cocktails were great as well. My husband got the old fashioned and my, it was strong, but very good. Overall, wonderful experience! Would definitely recommend and come again! P.S. don't sit at the front window, especially if the sun's still up

First time coming here and it was amazing! Loved the vibe inside, it's so cool and I can't wait until it's patio weather. Our waitress was great and even brought us extra bread for our appetizer. We split a bottle of Lambrusco to start which was fantastic. The whipped ricotta appetizer was divine. I did the croquet monseiur (def not how you spell that), and a bowl of tomato bisque. Perfect pairing together and I'm glad I have leftovers to enjoy

TL;DR: Between the ambiance, the great service, and the French bistro classics, Tailleur is a solid spot for a nice dinner in town. The interior gives it that little pop of something fun and different, making it a good spot for date night. HIGHLIGHTS I've heard a lot of great things about Tailleur, and it didn't disappoint. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, and they gave great recommendations on what to try. The high points for me were definitely the Pomme Frites, the Pork Shank, and the Mussels. The pork shank was so tender and well cooked, and the mussels had a strong, savory broth underneath them that brought the whole dish together. I was also impressed by the Seasonal Tart, which happened to be lime that night. It had none of the usual pitfalls of lemon bars (too much crust, too little crust, too buttery, too sour, too sweet, wrong texture)--instead, it was perfectly tart with a firm but delicate shell. Huge fan. 10/10, would eat several more of them. PASS Dishes that fell a little short of what I was hoping for were the Fruit Crisp, the Grilled Peach Salad, and the Pappardelle. The only one that was really lacking something was the Pappardelle, which was under seasoned and tasted primarily like almond pesto. The Fruit Crisp, while tasty, was not a crisp. From the photos, you can see that this dish is closer to a cobbler, which has more of a cake-biscuit topping rather than a crispy (hence the name) topping of oats and spices. As for the Grilled Peach Salad, I enjoyed this dish but the peaches were rather dry--almost dehydrated--and next time, I would rather try one of their other salads. NOTES The neighborhood isn't one of Tailleur's high points. Westport and its surrounding areas can be a bit dangerous at night, and since the restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, there aren't as many people around as there are just a few streets over.

Went a couple weeks ago for a lunch and it was a wonderful experience with excellent food. Our server was very attentive and gave great recommendations. The ambiance is so unique, the decor is stunning and very vintage. All of the food was impeccable. From the arancini to the sticky toffee, everything on the menu was delicious. Would highly recommend!

A perfect place for date night, very intimate and romantic. The steak dinner was so good, they had a new limited menu when we went so there was not very many options on the menu. The hugo spritz drink I got was soo yummy!

Went for afternoon tea. The tea was lacking and after multiple refreshes of the teapot to get the water hot enough to actually steep the tea, it still was not hot enough. Sandwiches and pastries were decent, I liked about half of what was served and I'm not picky at all. Sandwiches just didn't seem fresh. The ambiance was great and the decor was interesting to look at. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. Besides the alcohol that was ordered, the price for the food and tea was absolutely outrageous considering what we were given. I'm glad I experienced the afternoon tea here but I would not come back or recommend it to anyone honestly.

First time to Tailleur tonight and we will absolutely be back! You definitely need a reservation as they are BUSY (but service was speedy!). The ambiance is so nice and very intimate. We tried a bit of everything from the bread basket with herb butter, whipped ricotta, grilled Caesar salad, French dip sandwich, coq au vin, to the bread pudding and chocolate torte for dessert. Everything was awesome/delicious! Cannot wait to go back!

Excellent experience. Park behind the restaurant and enter through the back door and you feel like you are in a speak easy. Such a narrow restaurant with unique wall decor it reminded me of a railway car. Service was very friendly and the food outstanding. Our party had leg of lamb, Tuscan chicken, and the burger with the bread basket as an appetizer. All of it good but the lamb was the star. We had the apple crisp, buttermilk chocolate cake, and bourbon pecan tart for dessert. All good but the "wow" was the apple crisp. Highly recommend!

I can't believe it took me this long to get to Tailleur! Years ago I drove by and added it to my list right away because it looked like the cutest place. I really thought I'd be one of the first but before I knew it, my family and friends were recommending it to me! I finally made my way in for an early Friday dinner and it did not disappoint. In my opinion, the best part about Tailleur is the ambiance. Whoever did the interior design in here is a really talented person. It is probably one of the cutest places to eat in KC if you ask me! I can't even imagine being able to curate a space such as this. On top of that, you can tell the space is older and that the restaurant is making use of a building that has probably been in KC since before many of us were born. Now onto the food & drink. We split a bottle of bubbly rose for an affordable price and also split a seasonal beet and goat cheese salad. It was great, though I'm not a huge fan of mixed greens (arugula). For my entree I ordered the seasonal sweet potato gnocchi and my mom ordered the mussels. In my opinion, the mussels were a little fishy, but she loved them and the broth was INCREDIBLE. My gnocchi was delicious and I ate every bite. You could definitely taste the sweet potato which was good, but I myself like things a little more on the savory side. We ordered a little sugar cookie to end the meal and it was the perfect sweet bite. The frosting was out of this world. I know for a 100% fact that I'll be back to Tailleur! I have to show all my friends one of the cutest little joints in KC.

Ugh so so good. Bummed we live so far away. Was in town for thanksgiving and decided to do a date night without the kiddos. The decor is incredible, the open kitchen vibe with glass paneling to show off their desserts was a treat for the eyes. Our table ordered mussels & bread to start. If you like mussels you have to get them, and bread to soak up the delicious broth. I had the scallops which were seared perfectly atop of Parmesan risotto. My guy had the pork chop, our guests had the veal & the lamb. All were 10/10. We will definitely be back here next time we visit. Unfortunately my photos are lacking because we couldn't wait to dive in.

This review is for lunch on the first floor in mid December. We're thrilled at such a fantastic place in mid-town Kansas City! service: Michael was a great hospitality professional. Very knowledgeable with excellent timing, despite a pretty hectic space. He made the experience so great. Props to enthusiastic and engaging host who made us feel most welcome. bar: My Old Fashioned ($15 as of 12/23) was a solid version of this great cocktail. I followed up with an always welcome Boulevard Space Camper ($7) from a can. The real standout here are the wines, if that's your thing. food: My steak tatare ($22) was simply exceptional. A truly fantastic rendition of this classic. I followed-up with a Cobb ($15) that was beautifully presented and very, very good. My wife chose the quiche with salad ($15) and reports it was amazing. She followed up with 24 Karrot Cake cupcake ($9) and had immense praise. Details: We walked-in and snagged the last lunch table. Reservations highly suggested, even at lunch. Décor is awesome. My wife is a foxhunter and the prints, boots, helmets, and - yes, even English saddles and tack - are pretty stunning. Plenty of parking in surface lot out back.

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Tailleur! Was in town to celebrate my friend's birthday and hadn't had the forethought to make a reservation anywhere for that Saturday, called in and the hostess was super kind and helped work us in for 8:00 that evening! Upon arrival we were absolutely enamored with the decor, the beautiful vintage eclectic vibes made for stellar insta posts. And y'all...THE. FOOD! I can't even tell you how much we all enjoyed our meals (and cocktails now that I think about it haha). Everything was fresh, beautifully plated, with a unique flavor profile. We got the whipped ricotta for the table and hung onto it to try on all of our individual meals...EPIC decision! I myself went with the lamb, and sweet lord am I glad I did. Anyone who regularly consumes lamb knows that the portions are usually quite small for their price and it's rare to find a place that doesn't use mint as the herb of choice. I had to carry out half of my meal with me because the lollipops were so meaty that I couldn't finish them in addition to my sides in one sitting. And no mint in sight! Score! Do yourself a favor and check this place out STAT!

A rare date night came about and my wife had this spot circled, so without even knowing much about it, we ended up making a reservation for an enjoyable night out. The aesthetic of this place is fun and unique. It's like a French + Ralph Lauren interior design hybrid with lots of nice touches throughout. We were upstairs which was nice, although not quite as warm and cozy, both literally and figuratively. The chandelier lights were shining awkwardly bright, and we were caught under one of the A/C vents so it wasn't quite the "settle in and enjoy the meal on a fall night" kind of vibe we had hoped for. Don't get me wrong, still enjoyed it very much, but just a bit different than some other date night atmospheres. The food was very good, we tried: - Warm olives + bread to start which was fantastic - Salmon with couscous and asparagus - Salad with salmon - Bread pudding Really everything was well made and good. The menu wasn't immense, but I prefer that as it allows them to nail the specific dishes they want to put out. They leave the cocktails for their space directly across the street, Cheval, and instead focus more on wine and a few basics here. That worked well for us, and gave us a place to explore afterward. Service was nice, and the vibes were good here. Oh, and don't let the Main St. construction deter you, there's a huge parking lot in the back for this spot. I would definitely come back, and overall thought the whole experience was good here.

We came in on an extremely busy night. Had a reservation and was seated immediately. Everything from food, to wine, to ambiance is phenomenal. Our server seemed overwhelmed at times but held up service to an amazing degree. He was clearly spread very thin but that didn't stop him from creating an experience. Chef Jeff has cultivated an incredible menu. We ordered around 80% of the offered menu. Perfection. We will definitely be back more often than not.

Was so pleasantly surprised by this place!! I had never heard of it until a friend suggested it, and I'm so glad she did. My husband and I ate so well, and the wine menu was spectacular (and our server gave us great suggestions too). Plus, I'm in love with the decor and ambiance (maybe one day I'll be able to recreate such an aesthetic at my house?!)

This gorgeous restaurant is worth the hype! My husband took me here as a surprise for our anniversary and it was such a treat! The decor is so cozy and pretty and fancy. I'm not familiar with types of cocktails so when I asked our server Arielle to make something sweet and tasty for me she came up with a completely unique concoction (which I now lovingly call Fairy Nectar!) and it was one of the BEST drinks I've ever had! Arielle was an incredible server and made us feel very special. The food was top-notch and every bite was a savory delight. I got the duck and my partner had swordfish, both were cooked to perfection. The root veg mash is something out of a dream, so smooth and buttery! We also had a seasonal savory tart which was delicious. We didn't have room for dessert but it just gave us an excuse to come back! There is an upstairs area we'd love to sit and have a drink and dessert in soon. I can't wait to get fancy and come back for a Fairy Nectar!

Get the mussels. Trust me! Fantastic ambiance. Killer service. Excellent food. We left full and so happy. Everything was good but the mussels and the broth they were made in was out of this world. Can't wait to go back!

From ambiance, to the wait staff, creativity on the menu with food AND drinks, and then the food itself... this is a must try. We most definitely will be back!

We visited here a few weeks ago for high tea and it was exactly as wonderful as we hoped. The tea tasted amazing, the menu options were fun and festive. The butter croissants were so delicious we took home more. We wanted to sit in the bottom floor seating area and they accommodated us. Our waitress was timely with everything and attentive. The decor was fun for the holidays too! The lighting was a little dark for it being so early in the day but it was a date and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. Would recommend!
