Bluestem				2 User Reviews
900 Westport Rd.	Contemporary	$$$, $$$$	Westport
Midtown’s little jewel box of a boîte seats just 43 diners, but that only adds to the exclusive cachet of this intimate dining room, where the perfection-driven husband-and-wife team of Colby and Megan Garrelts creates elegant cuisine. The food is excellent, and the service is... More >>

Café Sebastienne				Write a Review
4420 Warwick	Contemporary	$$, $$$	Westport
Fittingly, the food in this museum restaurant is often as visually sumptuous as the art on the walls, though many patrons prefer the intimate dining room for lunch rather than dinner — which is served only on Friday and Saturday nights, when the menu is more limited and the food can be... More >>

EBT Restaurant				Write a Review
1310 Carondelet	Contemporary, Continental	$$$, $$$$	South
Back in 1973, United Missouri Bank razed the downtown building that housed Kansas City’s best carriage-trade department store, Emery Bird Thayer. The bank saved a number of architectural relics from the store — brass elevator cages, a few leaded-glass windows, carved brownstone column... More >>

714 Vermont	Contemporary, Vegetarian	$$	Lawrence
Hilary Brown opened this organic fast-food shack in 2005, serving burgers made with grass-fed beef (free from hormones and pesticides), buffalo, elk or natural turkey as well as chili and a tasty veggie burger.

Michael Smith				Write a Review
1900 Main St.	Contemporary	$$$$	Downtown
Chef Michael Smith’s namesake restaurant isn’t too stuffy or formal, considering his impeccable credentials as a James Beard Award winner. It’s not inexpensive, but Smith’s kitchen puts out beautiful, extraordinary fare that more than lives up to the price tag. It’s a... More >>

Oak 63				Write a Review
408 E. 63rd St.	American, Contemporary, French	$$, $$$	Midtown
Chef-owner J.B. Bremser (who formerly operated Chez B in the Crossroads District) is one of the more iconoclastic culinary talents in the city. The menu here is simple but elegant: excellent soups and salads, sandwiches and beautifully composed meals -- grilled lamb chops marinated in olive oil,... More >>

One80				2 User Reviews
435 Westport Rd.	Contemporary	$, $$, $$$	Westport
If a saloon has aspirations to be something more than a dark, cozy venue for sipping cocktails and smoking cigarettes, it needs to take that extra step in the culinary department. The owners of One80 (who also operate McCoy’s Public House across the street) have put their own spin on the... More >>

Room 39				2 User Reviews
1719 W. 39th St.	Breakfast, Brunch, Contemporary	$$, $$$	Westport
This sunny, attractive dining room opened as a breakfast-and-lunch venue, but owners Andrew Sloan and Ted Habiger now serve dinner six nights a week. Like the lunch menu, the dinner choices change frequently (often daily), and because the space is so tiny, reservations are strongly recommended.... More >>

Skies Restaurant & Lounge				Write a Review
2345 McGee	Contemporary	$$$	Midtown
Kansas City’s last revolving restaurant has been rotating gracefully on the 43rd floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel for two decades. But a recent fashion makeover and some fine menu tweaking by chef Tim Pound have made the dinner-only restaurant a place to revisit -- especially at sunset,... More >>

11570 Ash St.	Contemporary, Fusion	$$, $$$	Leawood
Leawood’s tastefully designed wine bar is all about style. The dining room and lounge area are curvy, shiny and expensively constructed, while the evening menu is designed for sharing among stylish diners. Chef Michael Peterson has created an inventive collection of small plates, salads,... More >>
