"The Antler Room is the best meal you’ll have in Kansas City that’s not BBQ. Every time we eat here, we find ourselves ogling over dishes like duck with fried sunchokes and spinach, beef heart ragu over malloreddus, and local mushrooms paired with homemade cocoa campanelle. This space is covered in jackalope art and rabbits with antlers (it’s cute, we promise), which makes the place feel oddly right for an unstuffy special occasion." - anne cruz
"The Antler Room is the best meal you’ll have in Kansas City that’s not BBQ. Every time we eat here, we find ourselves going full Owen Wilson (“wow!”) while eating dishes like duck fat grilled carrots, smoked maitake focaccia, and potato gyoza with green yuzu kosho. This space is covered in jackalope art—yes, rabbits with antlers (it’s cute, we promise)—which makes the place feel oddly right for a special occasion or just posting up for a nice dinner at the bar. Go ahead and make a separate reservation for winter, spring, summer, and fall while you’re here—you’ll probably never eat the same dish twice." - ryan bernsten

"Unfussy but refined, this intimate Hospital Hill restaurant has a fun, well-curated wine list and an ever-changing menu of inventive small plates that combine local ingredients with international influences. Think: fairy tale eggplant agnolotti with corn-koji puree or a smoked maitake mushroom focaccia with pickled ramps and turmeric oil. Know before you go: The wine list is among the best in the metro, with a notably large selection of orange wines." - Liz Cook
"The Antler Room modernizes Kansas City history by paying homage to a 1930s saloon and serving a Midwest menu inspired by East–West trade routes, changing regularly to highlight seasonal ingredients and fresh preparations." - Tim Newcomb
