The Restaurant at 1900

We came here for a birthday dinner and it did NOT disappoint. The service was exceptional, every plate we got was better than the last. This is a must for your special occasion meal.

Have never eaten here and not been floored. I appreciate the variety, local ingredients, playful flavor combinations, and a menu that has more than one vegetarian item on the menu. But not just that - everything, even the vegetarian dishes, is thoughtful, creative, and just tastes lovely. The staff are always so kind and welcoming. The patio is probably my favorite place in the summer. Don’t get bogged down in the fact that it’s sort of hidden in Mission Woods. It’s absolutely worth the trip (multiple trips).

Wow! I was brought here by a friend and completely blown away by how incredible this restaurant is. The staff was super friendly and attentive, kept our glasses full, and was always nearby if we needed something. All of the food we had was incredible! I don't think you could order something bad on this menu. The cedar strip steak was one of the best things I've ever eaten. I highly recommend it. Also the Ibis grilled bread.

The food was yummy. I only wished there was one additional lumen in the lighting. I was a bit distracted and put off by the esthetic of my dessert, but it was delicious...I can't recall the name of the dessert at this time.

From the moment we walked into Restaurant at 1900, we felt welcomed. The ambiance struck the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. However, what stole the show was the cod main plate. My husband proclaimed it was the best cod he's had in 20 years—high praise indeed! The texture was flaky, and the flavors were impeccably balanced. To complement our meal, we had the pleasure of choosing from an extensive wine and whiskey list. Each sip seemed to elevate the dining experience to new heights. If you're a fan of seafood or simply want an exceptional meal, don't miss this hidden gem. A five-star experience we can't wait to repeat!

The food was pretty good. Cooked properly and we'll presented. The staff didn't care about us much. The wait staff all seems disengaged. Our server bailed on us halfway through dinner, didn't tell us, and some other dude showed up. He said our waitress had been given "side duties" but she was still waiting other tables. Also, my wife asked for a four ounce pour of wine but it was more like 2. The atmosphere is decent and the food was good. Not good enough to inspire a return based on the lackluster service.

The Restaurant at 1900 is a hidden gem for those seeking a luxurious dining experience. From the moment you step in, the quaint and well-appointed ambiance creates an inviting atmosphere. The extensive selection of top-notch liquors ensures there's something to please every palate. As for the culinary delights, the gourmet food served here is nothing short of exquisite, tantalizing taste buds with every bite. Whether you're seeking a romantic evening or a special celebration, The Restaurant at 1900 offers a dining experience that combines elegance, delectable cuisine, and a memorable time.

If I had to pick just one restaurant in KC, this would be the place. It's a remarkably even balance of elements: expertly-prepared food, clever cocktails, comfortable surroundings and excellent hospitality. The menu changes regularly, so I don't have any specific dishes to recommend. For the appetizer course I've had soups, salads and other options without ever making a bad choice. Likewise the pastas, entrees and desserts have been uniformly delicious. Just three days before I wrote this review, 1900 was named as a semifinalist for a Beard Award for hospitality. They deserve the prize. Servers are polite and efficient, and they know their regular customers by name.

I felt suave getting to enjoy my lunch here. The staff makes you feel important. Weather permitting, you must sit on the patio with the gorgeous water feature - our group reminisced on times in Europe because that's what this patio gives. I was here for lunch and my grilled chicken salad was super fresh and delicious. Can't wait to return for a fancy dinner!

My boyfriend and I went here for a date night last week after a concert. He told them ahead of time it was a special occasion for us, and they were very accommodating. We had an excellent seat in a corner booth, and the restaurant was packed. Our server Dan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable on the menu. All the servers were friendly and personable. We started with the potato and apple latkes appetizer. They are a smaller portion, but they were delicious. I got the Halibut, and he got the pheasant. The pheasant was a large portion if you are looking to share. Both were good. We got two coffees after and our server even brought us a free dessert for our wait for our entrees even though we were enjoying our time there and didn't notice. We will definitely be back!

This is such a beautiful spot. It's an experience. The food is delicious. It was the most amazing steak that I've ever had. The chef has a brilliant mind and puts together a menu that is top notch. The servers are exceptional. It's almost like they're psychic because they anticipate your needs. The pastry chef has made so many of my favorite desserts. I'm so impressed by her mind too. The ice cream she creates are simply divine.

I can't understand anyone rating this place under 5 stars. I wish I could rate it higher! One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. It is incredibly consistent as well. Can't recommend it enough.

Delicious. We went for my husbands birthday. Highly recommend the wild mushroom pasta with truffles. My husbands favorite was the Alaskan halibut with green tomatoes. My espresso martini was one of the best I've had. Service was a little slow for the whole restaurant. Didn't bother us cause we weren't in a hurry. In a cool location.

Went here for my birthday last week and had a DELICIOUS meal with impeccable service! Everything was superb: The oysters, the green veggies with cured salmon & vinaigrette gribiche, the porcini mushroom soup, the garganelli with beef & bone marrow ragu, and finally the rack of venison. I am salivating just typing this. All ingredients so fresh! The drinks were also a fun little adventure. Cannot wait to return for the next special occasion to try more dishes!! It will be hard to branch out though, the ones we ate are all worth ordering again.

Feels like an oasis in Kansas City. The fountains and patio create an excellent venue. We had an outstanding interaction with the GM and had a champagne and cookie treat for our anniversary so that was very kind of them. Oysters were solid, lobster bisque was prepared properly and authentically, and the entrees flavors were excitingly tasteful and unique. This is the spot!

This my go-to place for special occasions! The best food in town! Birthday celebration with the world's best grilled cheese sandwiches

This was the best food I have had in a really long time. The flavors were so fantastic and surprising!!!! You can trust this chef to take you on an amazing taste bud experience!! They put together flavors I would have never imagined!!!! Soooo good! Our server Tyler was absolutely friendly and took the service to the next level!!! The ambience was perfect!!!! It was very romantic and very clean!!! This is a must! Food was worth every penny we paid and then some!

The food was amazinggggg!! The trout was amazing all the components with it made it light and refreshing... with the perfect sear on the skin!Best turkey bacon club i've ever had, not a huge fan of the cold pasta on the side but the taste was still good! Our waitress was great, she brought us an amazing wine recommendation.

TL;DR: Great food, especially the seafood, but the chef works with flavors that are easy to enjoy. It's classic fine-dining fare. If you're looking for a novel experience for $100/person, you can get much more for the money somewhere like The Antler Room or Corvino. The Restaurant at 1900 has been so beloved recently, and if you look through the reservation system, it looks like they're booked out for dinner more often than not, so I had high hopes coming into this reservation. My friend and I ordered a variety of starters, two mains, and a dessert, and I can confidently say you'll probably have a good experience dining here. HIGHLIGHTS The highlights were definitely the mains we ordered (Brown Sugar-Brined Berkshire Pork Chop and the Crispy Skin Half Amish Chicken) and the New England Chowder. If you're looking for a thick, hearty chowder, this is not for you. The chowder is in the style of New England, where the chef originates from, with delicate and nuanced flavors from the seafood that I haven't yet seen elsewhere in Kansas City. The chowder was definitely the highlight among the starters. As for the mains, the portions were just right, the meat was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sides complemented the dish perfectly. DOWNSIDES The other starters were a bit of a different story. It's almost as though the starters and the mains are playing off two different restaurant concepts, where the starters are small, avant-garde plates and the mains are your proven, easy-to-like dishes. While I appreciated the ideas present in the non-chowder starters, I can't say they particularly struck a chord with me. The Kabocha Squash and Hazelnut Agnolotti was beautifully presented and I loved the fall flavors in it, but the dish *needed* the sweetness of the squash to come together, and there were literally four pieces of pasta in that "pasta" starter. It's difficult to see underneath all the toppings, but it was seriously two fun-size pieces each of squash-stuffed pasta for me and my friend. If you're read my review of Stock Hill, the experience was as comical as that three-leaf strawberry salad. The experience with the Deviled Rabbit with Toast and Jam was similar. The concept was interesting, but the execution was lacking. I love mustard, but it was the only flavor present in the dish. Eating the rabbit on its own, without the toast that had been swiped with mustard, revealed more of the tender, beautiful flavors that rabbit is known for when it's cooked well. As for the Huckleberry Cheesecake dessert, it was tasty but lacked style--without the fluffiness of some signature cheesecake or the dense, towering build of others. I would recommend trying one of the other desserts. RECOMMEND? I would still come back to the Restaurant at 1900, and I would recommend to others as well for those looking for a fine dining experience on a weekday night without having to make the trek all the way downtown. It's nice enough to do for an anniversary dinner or other special occasion. When ordering, I would just stick mostly to mains and ask the server for popular starter recommendations, if ordering any. Keep in mind that while the restaurant may look like it's booked out, there are a number of seats that seem to be reserved for walk-ins. When I made my reservation, it looked like I took the very last spot for that night. I showed up at 5pm for the reservation and the place was sparsely populated until around 6:30-7. Don't be afraid if you can't get a reservation; just call the restaurant and ask if they have walk-in availability for that night.

Best dinner place in KC. Menu changes often so if you have a favorite dish it may disappear so savor it while you can. I had a chicken dish that was heavenly every time. The pasta dishes are also amazing. The drinks are very good. Service is always excellent and while a fancy place, they won't make you feel bad if you're in jeans and a T-Shirt.

Absolutely amazing! From the ambiance to the flavor of the food, everything was so spectacular. It has been a long while since I came to eat here and writing a review just went over my head (so I most likely do not remember the name of any of the dishes). Each dish had such an interesting blend of flavors from different cultures and it was truly such a unique experience. I had gotten almost every item recommended by the waiter that night and I was not disappointed. The one thing I do remember was how unique the taro gnocchi was. It was a fusion dish I would have never considered. It feels like your taste buds are fooling you half the time because nothing ever tastes the way that it looks, but in a good way!

Every dollar spent here was well worth it. Everything from the ambience to the food to the service was phenomenal. Ill keep this short and sweet and urge anyone reading this to give this establishment a chance and see why its rated so well. A big thank you to the staff for making this dinner perfect for me and my girlfriend!

Wonderful dinner last night @therestaurantat1900 Highlights were the oxtail gnocchi, foie gras, risotto and the chocolate cake. All items were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Care was taken to add texture to dishes Everything we had was delicious. Also the service was excellent. Kind and attentive without being overwhelming.

Food was delicious... service was terrible!! We arrived at 7:15 ... ordered wine& appetizers & we were served at 1st course at 8:32 ... entree arrived at 9:32 !! Sorry that's unacceptable.

One of my favorite restaurants in the KC area. Elizabeth is just the sweetest. The food is always delicious, and incredibly beautiful, and their 1900 martini is out of this world.

Excited to finally dine at Restaurant 1900 and to experience the amazing cuisine of Executive Chef Linda Duerr. She was a James Beard Best Chef Midwest 2020 semi-finalist. Unfortunately the Beard Awards were cancelled due to Covid. Stunning restaurant decor, exemplary service and superb food and presentation. Maybe this is our new fine dining spot to replace bluestem. We had a 5:30pm reservation indoors and for the first hour, we owned the dining room. Loved the artwork and nostalgic salt and pepper shakers on display. We started with the Wild Mushroom Toast with Cashew Cream. Those mushrooms were decadent. We split the Roasted White Asparagus salad. It was beautifully plated and so refreshing. For entrees I ordered the Black Garlic Linguine in White Clam Sauce, while my wife ordered the Ricotta and Shiitake Mushroom Pansotti. You can order a full or half order off the menu. My pasta featured rich flavors and many textures. It was so filling. My wife's was delicate triangle ravioli in goat butter sauce. For dessert, we ordered The 1900 Cookie Plate, each crafted with lots of love, like someone's grandmother made them. It was a spectacular evening of fine dining. We can't wait to return with out-of- towners to show how progressive the dining scene is in Kansas City.

My husband and I tried this place after hearing the restaurant was nominated for a James Beard Award (we found out the restaurant it was for hospitality. I didn't matter) Last year I had homemade potato chips with caviar on top as a starter. OMGoodness! Can you say phenomenal! Who knew?! Sadly I don't know the name of my main course was but it was great! Staff were very attentive. Ambience was relaxing was I told hubby this is my new restaurant for my birthday.

The Restaurant at 1900 is a glamorous place. As it should be, in a repurposed building that is the most iconic example of midcentury modern architecture in KC. The décor reflects that heritage, with furniture and art consistent with the period occupying the inside space. Outdoors is a space defined by a stainless steel pergola, with a ceiling of retractable canvas panels. On the left, as you enter the space from the restaurant, is a remarkable fountain smoothly cascading over a massive wall of polished granite that would not be out of place in the lobby of a corporate headquarters or a museum. This plays to a congregation of the privileged. The patrons consist of, on one hand, moneyed retirees in blue blazers with their wives in Episcopalian dresses, and, on the other, a younger group that tilts fashionista. There's an air of relaxed formality, if that makes any sense. If you like to fancy up, this is your kind of place. The focus on presentation extends to the cuisine, which, it should be noted, is not mid20th century at all, but follows the current trend of lighter and international on the way to delicious. Every restaurant with any ambition these days touts the seasonality of its menu, but this week, at least, you can eat gnudi with fiddlehead ferns and fresh morels - produce as evanescent as spring itself. Gnudi are like large gnocchi, and require skilled labor. This is a kitchen that knows culinary technique. Pete Wells, the restaurant critic for the NY Times, recently recommended ordering soup at a nice restaurant, his rationale being that soup is never a big seller, so if a chef puts it on the menu, there must be a reason. I wanted to send Mr. Wells a thank you note after ordering the smoked sable chowder, which was spectacularly presented in an unusual dish with wide margins and a baseball-sized depression in the center, delivered with a perfect isosceles triangle of a little biscuit. Marvelous. If any other restaurant in this town offers any iteration of smoked sable, I'd like to know about it. What a delight to find things that are so carefully considered, and unique. A typical meal is eaten and done. This restaurant is atypical, as it offers something you'll recall with pleasure the next day and beyond. If you are fortunate enough to be among the privileged, this is an experience to seek out, savor and appreciate.

This is h ands down one of my favorite restaurants in KC. I tell everyone to go here! I have been a number of times, and each time I get so excited to try something new on the menu. The menu changes fairly often which makes for a good excuse to continue to go back. This is a great place to go for a special occasion or nice date night. I haven't had a chance to sit at the newly renovated outdoor seating yet, but the space looks amazing and I can't wait to go when the weather is nice and enjoy sitting out there. They expanded their outdoor seating with COVID to offer more social distancing and for those who want to stay outside. The inside is gorgeous and the bar is beautiful. This is also a great spot if you are just wanting to grab a drink and relax at the bar. You really can make your time here whatever you want. You can go for a nice lunch, sit at the bar and grab a drink or sit in the dining room and enjoy a delicious meal. Anytime someone tells me they haven't been to this restaurant I tell them they have to go right away!

I've never had a bad meal or unpleasant dining experience here. They are so worthy of 5 stars every single time! Anastasia made or dinner so memorable and nice, offering her favorites in every category. Her recommendations did not disappoint!

After a great experience last year for our anniversary, we went for a second year in a row. Love supporting restaurants near our neighborhood that are so top notch. We had amazing service by every person we interacted with and Jesse our server was extremely knowledgeable and had excellent recommendations for drinks as well as menu items. So many amazing flavor combinations - the attention to detail is incredible. Very relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

The food is spectacular! Every dish was different and every bite was exciting. I was very impressed.

We loved our visit to the restaurant at 1900. Gracious, welcoming staff and excellent, attentive service. (Granted, it was a Monday night to not super busy.) Food was eclectic & creative yet not so weird that you didn't recognize what you were eating. Cocktails were just right (I had a gin & tonic) and they offer glass-bottle Coke, which my husband was excited about. I had the leek and Gruyère-stuffed chicken breast topped with crispy fennel strings and sweet potato mash - highly recommend. Hubby got the fettuccine with mussels & shrimp. He's a seafood lover and really liked it, especially the quartered Greek olives. We sat on the patio and savored the beautiful June evening. It was our anniversary as well, which we mentioned when booking our online reservation, and the staff had added a sweet little happy anniversary card to our centerpiece. We had wanted to go another place and couldn't get a reservation, but I'm not sorry at all! Would absolutely dine here again and will recommend to any friends traveling to KC.

Didn't think a restaurant in a shopping strip would wow us but boy were we surprised. Excellent food and drinks. The service was excellent too. Going back for our anniversary.

We have attempted to make it to this hidden gem three times now and finally made it. Third time is definitely a charm. Such a beautiful place with impeccable service, delicious food and a warm ambiance. We were greeted the moment we walked in the door. We had to bring our toddler and although she is well seasoned in fine dining I still felt the need to reassure everyone. They were wonderful with her an offered to take both our coats. Not many restaurants do that in KC anymore so that was very nice. Once we were seated the waitress, Jenna, greeted us. She spent a solid three minutes talking to only our toddler introducing herself and treating her like an adult. Our plates and table were constantly cleared by everyone, they all work very well together and are very knowledgable of the menu. We were dining with friends and she was sure to give us space and time to mingle over drinks. The drink options are great, there is quite a few options and at very good price points. We started with the Lobster Pop Tart. It was incredible with sweet cream on the side and I believe Tarragon. We split it between two of us but easily good have been for one. It was delicious. Then I moved to the Pear and Arugula salad. I wasn't a fan of the fried prosciutto on top, but it was a good balance to the sweet pear and the burrata. I then had the Sea Bass with Carrot Risotto and Brussels Sprouts. All perfectly done. 1900 prepares their food letting the food shine, it is not overdone and drenched in sauces. The herbs are fresh and the flavors compliment one another. The cookie plate ended the meal. The plate consisted of a Milano, oatmeal cherry, triple chocolate and peanut butter. They were all devoured. From start to finish 1900 is amazing and we are excited to return.

I want to start by saying that it's a travesty that this spot doesn't have more reviews. I had one of the best meals I've had in ages there last night and the lack of reviews makes it look less popular than it should be. Anyway, I went here last night with my family to celebrate my dad's birthday. And wow, from the moment we walked in, it was a master class in service. Firstly, when I booked the reservation, I made sure I noted that we were celebrating a birthday. So when we walked in and I gave our names, both hostesses wished my dad a happy birthday. Then they offered to take our coats, which we gave them (more on that later). We were seated at an intimate table right behind the hostess stand, that was blocked by a gorgeous wood screen, and next to a window, out of which was a really pretty view of the trees and lawn. Our waitress came over right away and offered us still or sparkling water, which she did a good job of keeping filled all night. She also noted my dad's birthday, as did a manager who later dropped off food. My dad was on the edge of being embarrassed but I think he liked it . As far as drinks, my mom got a wine that was on special, my dad got a martini, and I ordered the cherry fizz. I don't know what I was expecting but I think it was just soda water with cherry juice, which was what I was hoping it would be. My dad thought the martini was good and found the olive to be really interesting. The manager said it's kept in cherry juice (maybe)? We ordered the tempura fried mushrooms for an appetizer and my dad, always the adventurous eater, ordered the sweetbreads for himself. The mushrooms were BOMB. They were so light and crunchy and unctuous and the aiolis that were with it were terrific - there was also maybe fried kale underneath, which was super yummy too. My dad was DELIGHTED with his sweetbreads. I tried a tiny bite, to say I have tried sweetbreads, and while I didn't "get" sweetbreads, it did seem like it tasted good for sweetbreads, and the potato salad with it was delicious. For our main courses, I ordered the lobster pop tart and the smaller portion of the trottole in taleggio cream sauce. The pop tart was SO good. I gobbled it up in moments, but it was filled with leeks and tarragon, with the lobster. It was clearly a homemade puff pastry and the whipped cream with it was so strange but delicious. The pasta was also delicious but the pop tart was the star. My mom got the mezze plate and was so so happy with it. My dad got the grilled cheese and also loved it. For dessert, we ordered the butterscotch pudding, which was truly moan-inducing. When the bill came, we discovered that it was really quite reasonable for the 3 of us. And once we left, they grabbed our coats and help them out for us, without us giving our names or anything. Very impressed. Really, I can't say enough good things about this spot. I haven't had service like that since the American Restaurant, which is just so rare now. The only criticism I could have is that the pace was exceptionally leisurely, which the surrounding tables seemed to have brisker service. However, I think it may have been to really mark it as a special occasion, so I'm not going to ding them for that. I can't wait to go back!

Absurdly good. I mostly come here for lunch, and they nail the service, food, etc. every time. I really enjoy how frequently they rotate out menu items and keep things fresh. Also, easily the best place to get a good mocktail in town. If you're lucky enough to get Patty as your server, listen to her recommendations - she's fabulous and hasn't led me wrong yet!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at Restaurant at 1900. Wonderful service, great view and fabulous meal. Highly recommend especially for special occasion.

If you ever in Kansas City and looking a nice restaurant with amazing food and atmosphere this is your place!! The entire staff from the hostess to the bartenders were super friendly, engaging, and very educated on their menu!! Started off with an excellent smooth tequila, then went to an awesome champagne. For food started with one of the most amazing chartreuse board I ever had in my life!!! Every bite was just an explosion of flavor. For main course went with the roasted duck drizzled in a cranberry glaze. It was probably one the top 5 best food decisions I've ever made!! Do not pass up the chance to go check this place out

The food was fantastic, the patio was peaceful, and the staff were kind and excited. I've been telling everyone about this place since we kind of stumbled on it. It's a little out of the way and kind of hidden in Mission Woods, but I don't think it's likely to be a secret for long. The menu was thoughtful and varied. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Have been wanting to go here for a long time and we finally were able to escape for a date night. This place did not disappoint and I'd highly recommend to anyone who's thinking about trying it. Amazing service, great ambiance, and food was spectacular! We sat at the bar and they took great care of us. Started with the prosciutto and potato flatbread, mushroom & wild rice bisque, and shaved parsnip & pear salad. For entrees I got the ribeye (which was honestly one of the better steaks I've had in town) and my wife got the sea bass which was phenomenal. Ended with the guava-goat cheese profiteroles which were to die for! My pictures don't do it justice.. but you get the point. We will be back and can't wait for the patio!

Dinner at The Restaurant at 1900 was an overall wonderful experience! From the service, to the ambiance, to the food -- everything was great! We tried many items during our visit! We started with some shared starters including the roasted oysters as well as the goat cheese fig salad. I had the Mezze at 1900. I'm not vegetarian, but this sounded delicious, and boy was it. The other entrees at our table included the sea bass (which happened to be halibut the night we visited) and the lamb bolognese. For dessert, we had the cookie plate and chocolate mousse. The restaurant itself is beautiful! Modern and elegant, yet not stuffy. Similarly for the staff. Everyone was welcoming and our server, Emily, was so pleasant and attentive. I was also pleased with the price point. We all had 2 drinks, in addition to our myriad of food items, and I thought out final check was quite reasonable based upon it experience. Not a cheap meal, but certainly not overpriced for what we got. I'll definitely be back for more!

Not a place you would notice when driving by, but a place worth visiting. For cocktails I would recommend their Manhattan, really good. The Lobster Pop Tart was unique and served with VSOP whipping cream which added a nice flavor. The tenderloin beef I got cooked medium rare, which came out perfect with a nice outside char. The pan seared sea scallops were fantastic and would recommend these. Don't expect a cheap meal here as most dishes run above average. Dress code I would say is more formal/business. Outside regular seating they do have a really nice bar with additional seating.

The only place in KC that gets it right every single time, in terms of cuisine, cocktails, service, and patio ambiance. I can't say enough great things about Fia, our server the last 4 visits. As a 20 year veteran of the hospitality industry, I recognize and appreciate authentic customer service. She makes you feel welcomed, unhurried, and well taken care of the entire visit.

Incredible. Food was all world as well as the atmosphere and service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hidden gem!

I really enjoyed having dinner here. From the friendly staff to the mellow, low lit ambience to the meal itself. Apparently the owner's mom collects salt and pepper shakers so there are cute salt and pepper shakers around the restaurant. I had the Salt & Sugar Cured Coriander & Sesame Lamb Ribs in Tahini Yogurt for starters, then Sea Salt & Vinegar Potato Chip Crusted Walleye with Winter Slaw in Apple Cider & Dijon Vinaigrette, Celery, Root Purée, Rosemary Butter and Compressed Jonathan Apple. They have a nice wine list and my server helped with a great pairing. I'll be back for another meal next time I'm in town.

Great experience - the ambiance was quaint with dim lighting which made for a romantic dinner. Excellent service as all staff worked together as a team to service the guests.

The service was fine. Food was ok. Wait time for food to come out? Ridiculous. Waited almost an hour to get the main course. The patio was great but they ran out of bourbon that I was drinking, seemed strange considering is extremely popular, Woodford Reserve and surprising didn't carry crown royal.

The Restaurant at 1900 was recommended by a fellow Elite, and I'd venture to say that it is the best restaurant in KC that I've tried in it's category. The vibe is sleek and modern and the service was top notch. I'd eat here on a regular basis if I could. It's a perfect place for a special occasion. I started off the night with grilled octopus salad. It was packed with flavor! The octopus was delicious, fresh and melted in my mouth. The sherry vinaigrette superb, a huge applause to the chef for this masterpiece. Next, I had the Moroccan Lamb Shank. It did not let me down. It was accompanied with couscous and lentils and filled me right up. Finally, I finished it off with the Zucchini cake. I'll be honest, I'll probably try one of their other desserts next time but it was still great. If you are looking for top notch food & service, this is the place!

We were in KC for my birthday weekend & opted to have my birthday dinner at The restaurant at 1900. From the moment we arrived until we said farewell we had the best service. The entire staff from the hostess, bartender, waitstaff was absolutely the best. We ordered the scallops for an appetizer, and our meals were the grilled cheese (amazing), the bolognese, the Cod, the lamb risotto, the vegan pasta the chef put together off menu for one person in my party, & the curry meal. We also had dessert, the rice pudding, & several ice cream/sorbet flavors were ordered all made in house and delicious!!! Oh let's not forget the cocktails I ordered the Negroni & it was the best damn Negroni I've had in a long while. My niece ordered a non alcoholic beverage that was a little science project and delicious as well

Great service but underwhelming cuisine. Questionable attempts at originality at the expense of enjoyability. The charcuterie board was the best part because they couldn't mess it up. The dessert menu looked unappealing after a cumbersome eating experience (deep fried quail - sounds delicious, but was poorly executed).

The Restaurant at 1900 is a refreshing surprise on the KC restaurant scene. We typically try a few new restaurants each week, some great, some not. However, it's rare that we come upon one that leaves us reveling in the details of the meal and already contemplating a return. The menu is both inventive and flavorful with combinations that actually work. Many of the dishes bring together unexpected flavors which blend together subtly at the corners and maintain their separation at the edges. This artful balance allows for each ingredient to stand on its own legs while still contributing to the success of the dish as a whole. Everything is fresh and tastefully served. The moment I neared the entrance, Keith Goldman was already opening the door and welcoming us into the restaurant. It was quite pleasant on the patio, and we really enjoyed the experience. Our waiter was excellent. He kept our water glasses topped up, checked in on us regularly without being obtrusive, and we never felt we were waiting for him on anything. He anticipated many of our needs before we voiced them and provided excellent recommendations and advice regarding the menu at indecisive junctures. We opened with the famous Lobster Poptart, a delicate yet crisp pastry full of surprising fresh and delicately sweet lobster meat. Having spent a lot of time living in the Northeast and just recently feasting heavily on seafood in Cape Cod, we were caught off guard by the quality of the lobster. Our 7-year old was particularly impressed. The other appetizer was the Peaches, Peppers, and Shrimp. The shrimp were served head on, but partially deshelled and easy to dispense with. They were well seasoned and plated on a deliciously spicy harissa paste along with some delicately roasted peppers and juicy cuts of peach. The 4-year old loved the shrimp, and all of us were savoring the roasted peppers. My only feedback on this dish and the dessert that came later was that the peaches were not at their peak. I might humbly suggest that Chef Linda Duerr consider White Peaches. They can be shockingly sweet and flavorful. That being said, the dish was still excellent. We narrowly missed ordering the Tempura Fried Mushroom appetizer which is much more sophisticated than its description. Judging by Abby P's experience, we missed out. The Garganelli in Lamb Bolognese soon arrived with our entrees. The waiter had warned us that it was a smaller portion. Rather than upsizing, we added on an additional entree to allow us to better explore the menu. I found it quite good, but it did not blow me away like the other dishes. The Mezze at 1900 consisted of a score of vegetables each perfectly roasted and lightly seasoned along with carrot falafel, and an eggplant puree. We were all equally impressed. I found it hard to fathom how such a simple dish had been elevated to such a level that we savored every bite. The naan, which I would typically dismiss, was light and fluffy yet slightly crisp with a unique blend of spices doused on it which made it an excellent accompaniment to this vegetarian dish. The Crispy Dorade Fillet was served skin on, deboned, split into two tail-on fillets. It was served over Peruvian limas, charred kale, and broccoli which was delicious and fresh. Personally, I found the fish to be a bit "gamey" if that's fair to say about seafood. The 4-year old and my wife both thought it was one of the high points of the meal. The portions of the appetizers, entrees, and desserts are a bit smaller than you might expect (except for the fish), especially for this Midwestern market and the price point. Keep this in mind as you order and take it as an opportunity to explore more starters. As we wound down the meal, we perused the dessert menu and had great difficulty narrowing down the options. The Dark Chocolate Mousse was rich yet fluffy, light, and perfectly complemented by the salted hazelnut crunch. The Lemon Chiffon cake consisted of very light and airy cake layers interspersed with a tart, but not overly sweet, cream. The gently bitterness of the candied grapefruit peel added another dimension to the flavor. My wife is not a fan of sour desserts but ventured in for a bite and found herself to be a convert. As for the roasted peaches with corn ice cream, the pound cake croutons were overindulgent yet in a small crisp dose that perfectly capped off the meal. We were impressed by the excellent service, inviting atmosphere, kindness of everyone who we encountered especially towards our children, and the amazing food. I am particularly excited to see the menu is constantly revitalized with new creations. excited to visit again in the near future to explore of the culinary innovation served up by chef, Linda Duerr. We felt this was the type of experience we would typically have had in Boston or NYC. Learning that the chef is a New England native, it explains a lot. We will definitely be back!

The location and ambiance of this new spot is very exciting for me. I've lived in the area for almost my entire life and don't think I've ever visited these buildings, though I do drive past them on a daily basis. I've now been two separate times in the span of two months and have enjoyed both visits. I will say that the dishes I have gotten have been delicious, but left just the smallest little bit to be desired. Something cool about this though is that this restaurant is constantly updating and reworking their dishes and I'm sure they'll find that jackpot in the near future. The savory shortbread cookies have stayed on my mind since the first time I went. Make sure your waiter offers these! The best thing on the menu, in my opinion, is the fried mushroom platter. I don't even know how to adequately express how yummy these are. They delicately fry several different types of mushrooms along with kale and other yummy sides. The dipping sauces are to die for! I have ordered the ravioli with seafood as well as the mushroom pasta. Both were very yummy! My father has ordered the grilled cheese and it as well left something to be desired, but the second time we went the description of this dish, as well as the ravioli, had been updated to reflect changes to the recipe. The drinks are great and the wait staff is very attentive. I recommend for a date night or classy night out with friends!

This wonderful restaurant is on the first floor level of the 1900 Building on the northwest corner of Shawnee Mission Parkway and State Line Road. The entrance is from State Line Road. There is a garage, but also there is surface parking right at the entrance to the restaurant. If you arrive along Shawnee Mission Parkway from the west, there is a protected left turn onto State Line. All of the seating is comfortable, so you can't go wrong at any of the tables. The chef is well known for her new American preparations. We got the salmon and scallops entrees. The scallops were excellent. The salmon also was very good, but the new American preparation style included a sauce that was slightly sweet. I would have preferred an olive oil and herbs Italian preparation. But if you like the new American style, you would like it exactly as prepared. The gazpacho soup was terrific, but it was a special of the day not usually on the menu. I hope it does end up on the menu. We got the cheese plate as a dessert, and we liked it very much. We got The Martini at 1900, which was possibly the best martini we have ever had. The cappaccino also was first rate. The wine list is somewhat difficult. I would have preferred to have seen a few more moderately priced wines, or better yet a happy hour discount on wines. But at the present time, they do not have happy hour discounts. We got a bottle of the Toad Hollow Rose, produced from the Pinot Noir grape at a winery owned by Robin Williams' brother. It was fine, but next time we will try a different wine. It is an expensive restaurant, but worth it.

The single best restaurant experience we've had in KC! I haven't left any reviews for a while, but decided I needed to for the Restaurant at 1900 because it was such a great experience. Everything was delicious and well presented. Prices were surprisingly low given the quality of the food. The service was perfect: kind, attentive, and accommodating. I really don't think it could have been any better. We went for lunch and are looking forward to going again for dinner!

This restaurant just opened a few months ago but it's already making a statement. The decor is beautiful and classy. It's a small space which makes it intimate and cozy. We found out about it from friends so the word is spreading quickly. They also have outdoor seating which would be nice in cooler weather. We started with the lobster pop tart and long-neck clams (the appetizer special of the evening). Both were amazing and different than what you might find in other restaurants. Next, we tried the tagliatelle with porcini sauce and the slow-cooked veal. They were both absolutely incredible. The pasta was fresh and the veal was beyond tender. After dinner we enjoyed a chocolate espresso martini and the chocolate caramel tart. Super tasty. I highly recommend The Restaurant at 1900. The service, ambiance, food, and over-all experience get five stars from all of us!

What a gem of a restaurant in Kansas City! Enjoyed the ambience, food, presentation... and especially the kind service from the staff. We had multiple conversations with the friendly bartendars while enjoying our dinner with delicious cocktails. The beverage list has been meticulously curated by Doug Frost; definitely a place to try a bottle of wine given the selection. Recommend trying the scallops dish!
