The food, service and overall experience was excellent! We had the Moderna salads with truffle bread to start. And had the shrimp pasta and halibut for main course. Both were very very good. We brought our daughter who is 2 and a half years old and the service was accommodating and really sweet with her. They made a mushroom pizza with a little red sauce for her and she loved it! This is our favorite restaurant in Kansas City.

We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my mom's 63rd birthday. Kitty our waitress was unbelievable exceptional 10/10 I hope our appreciation showed in her tip. Thank you kitty again. We arrived and were greeted by absolutely beautiful decor and live soft music. we were seated right away. We did have reservations. Our drinks came out first our appetizers about 10min later. And the portion sizes are perfect, (bigger then usual) reserve has michelin star worthy food and aura but bar and grill prices. We were so very impressed everything was absolutely delicious we ordered the crispy brussel sprouts and lump crab cake for our appetizers. The KC strip, the citrus black cod, and the baked chicken for our meal. It's definitely upscale perfect for just drinks or a date. I look forward to returning.
