Set in Kansas City’s historic City Market, Brown and Loe Restaurant’s inviting atmosphere is a blend of “big city” bistro with the welcoming casual flavor of a neighborhood favorite. Housed in a former Merchant’s Bank constructed in 1920, the restaurant honors the architectural details of the two-story building which features a façade of plate glass and verde marble floors and walls. In the 1940’s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchant’s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurant’s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurant’s fresh ingredients. Brown and Loe Restaurant is the second dining concept introduced by Harry Murphy, owner of the City Market’s popular Harry’s Country Club.

    We enjoyed another great dinner at Seasons 52 in Kansas City. The small filet was prepared precisely at medium well as ordered and was a tender and flavorful cut. The red wine sauce and mushrooms provided great accents. The cedar plank salmon was a generous portion that had just enough of the effect of the wood roasting to add distinctiveness. The “new discovery” Sauvignon Blanc matched with the salmon in a brisk but not too tart way. Its 9 oz was a good value, too. And Drew was a knowledgeable, attentive server with a good sense of humor.
