Restaurants near Howard Johnson Plaza Kansas City Hotel & Conference Center

Terrific experience. A bit costly. But overall will return.

Good lunch and fun atmosphere. Pear sandwich was delicious and filling.

Show Pony is a new hidden gem in KC! Chef Olson previously worked for the American. Starting with the basics, reservations were easy to get because the restaurant is new. Parking is a few steps away in the up and coming river front area, the space is beautifully decorated, and it is very quiet! The drink menu has a handful of craft cocktails and some well curated wines. The food is beautifully done! The menu is short and none of the dishes appealed to me at first glance; however, I was amazed. The server suggested sharing both the small plates and large plates and I am so glad we did! The cheese ring was Devine and hearty. A very unique dish that I could have eaten all night. The panzella salad had wonderful flavor and texture. The crown chicken was a chicken coated with a light sausage sitting on the most amazing pumpkin risotto. The pork cheek was tasty with an impressive stuffed apple and my favorite was the chickpea gnocchi. We topped off the night with their light homemade gelatos and chocolate ganache. We are ready to go back again tonight!

An exceptional place to spend a Friday. Great food! Great drinks! Great service! Great music!

It was very nice. Food great. It was very busy but our waitress did a great job.
