LOVE the atmosphere! The bar/restaurant has a great vibe for business lunches AND after work/evening cocktails. I've only had a few things from the menu, but found the choices unique and well executed. I just love the design of it all, so comfortable but cosmopolitan in a chic "throw back" decor reminiscent of the late 60's or early 70's.
I've had the pleasure of staying in the hotel as a guest one night and LOVED it. All the staff I encountered seemed very friendly and welcome, and it had a very comfortable "make-yourself-at-home" feeling, more than I would have expected from a boutique hotel. My top pick for a weekend 'stay-cation'!
I have had the personal pleasure of enjoying a few of the Fig Tree desserts....and will embarrassingly admit that I would replace ANY meal with any one of them! I didn't consider myself a big dessert fan until I tried their bread pudding and a couple of other things that I don't even remember what they called - but I do remember the chocolate & peanut butter and chocolate & nutella. OMG. DEC-A-DENT!
They serve dishes that are made with fresh and LOCAL ingredients and believe in what they do - so refreshing for KC! I'm jealous of those who live close by, so much better than the cookie-cutter franchises that dominate the suburbs!
And to "This is B.S."....you clearly have no idea about this place and your comment is obviously ignorant and juvenile.
Ausgezeichnet. Herzlichen Gluckwunsch.
Congratulations! Gratulation! We all knew you were that good! Spread the word!
So very true. Live nearby and have taken our not-quite-two-year-old son there several times for breakfast. The servers are always welcoming, amazing, and very (VERY) fast with orange slices, extra napkins, pancakes, etc. We probably leave more of a mess than others, but we always leave more tip for it and for their super kindness.
I could NOT agree more about this pick! LOVE ME SOME NIECIES!!
Best Place to...

Pho Hoa works for all!
Way to go Martin and Katrin!!! You and your amazing staff have made an edible indelible mark upon my soul. Thanks for the food, the service and the art.
Really great to see what Jake has built over the past few years.
You forgot that they also have go cups of menudo, mexican chocolate, and at least three types of tamales ready in the mornings.
Fig Tree has some of the best desserts and they don't give you tiny servings either. Great choice!
The last steak I had at Plaza III was sub-par at best. I can count many more places around town that has a better one by far.
The best steak in Kansas City is wet-aged? The Plaza III deosn't touch Pierpont's or the Majestic.
One of the best places for fish- hands down. Brilliant job Matt!! Congrats!
since when is Lawrence in Kansas City
David Hayden is obviously passionate about his profession. He, not only blogs and writes books, but is on the advisory board of the Culinary Wine Institute, an organization that provides practical wine info to restaurant servers. He is dedicated to helping servers maximize their income potential! Thanks, David. ~Kirsten Fox, CEO, Culinary Wine Institute
