"Come for the best espresso martini in Kansas City, stay for the staff that knows your name and acts like they’ve been desperately waiting for you to walk in the door. In fact, it’s not unusual to feel like everyone’s a regular here—waiters seem to know their diners’ orders or at least have suggestions ready to go. Maximize your enjoyment by sitting at the bar and chatting with the staff about what restaurants they love or 1900’s collection of rare liqueurs. This is our go-to spot for going to town on cocktails and desserts, both of which constantly surprise us, including their ice cream sandwich, a fascinating tropical mix of butter cookie, coconut ice cream, bananas, and a refreshing lime caramel finisher." - ryan bernsten

"“Upscale but playful” is the vibe in this light-filled modern restaurant with quirky decor and a wide-ranging menu. Chef and New England native Linda Duerr makes a predictably good cold-water lobster roll, but prioritize her fresh pastas, which are structured around seasonal produce and foraged herbs. Lively cocktails and colorful desserts contribute to the fun, unstuffy feel. Must-try dish: Save room for dessert. The sweets menu is extensive and irresistibly fun, with options like baked Alaska with chestnut-honey meringue." - Liz Cook
