    Lovely Saturday night date night at Charisse. This was my first time here and the location and ambiance is very nice and quaint. The service was efficient as well. The prime rib was our favorite and extremely flavorful! We will be adding this to our list of nice date night places for sure!

    Great lunch spot! Service is friendly. Atmosphere is relaxed but upscale. Food is always good.

    Ambience, service, and menu selection all excellent. Misses were the music and wine selection. We loved the space. A mix of modern and old brick. But the music they played was mostly a mix of rap and hip hop...just an odd choice for the restaurant concept of French and new American. It didn't fit the location. I was excited by a lot of the menu items. We ended up ordering a steak and pommes frites with a side of veg (all executed well) and the bolognese. The pasta was dynamite and had such a depth of flavor. Also tried the mussels in saffron cream as a starter--the PEI mussels were perfectly cooked and it was a very generous portion. I liked the broth but I didn't taste the saffron at all. They had about 7 signature cocktails and a few beers, and a few wines by the glass. I was pretty shocked that they didn't offer a wider wine selection, especially having a French influence.

    We booked a reservation for 7 for my husbands birthday and had the entire restaurant to ourselves. The music was very classy and festive with a touch of jazz. Our server Alan was incredibly pleasant and patient, giving us the right amount of time in between choosing drinks, appetizers and dinner - we never felt rushed. We ordered the large charcuterie board and it easily fed 7 as the starter. I ordered the French onion soup and a Caesar salad and was pleased. I tried a little bit of my friends gnocchi and it was so good with the perfect texture and flavor of garlic. I also ordered the strawberry cocktail and espresso martini. Both were delicious, easy to drink and a great price. I went to Paris earlier in the year and the food resembled the same flavors. I will definitely come back here!

    Been in KC last 3 days and looking for Mussels. Searched "mussels" in Yelp and Bingo, there they were at Charisse..and only 900 ft from Ambassador Hotel in Kansas City. I Sat at the bar....Ordered house cab, mussels with cream shallot sauce... and bolognese. it was all very good! Colin my bartender and server explained how Charlisee made everything from scratch at the restaurant. I liked the music Colin and Tara were playing! So down to earth. I've been in Kansas City and did not want to hear jazz on the 3rd night.. I liked the music at Charisse. Thanks Colin and Tara for a good experience at Charisse!

    Have you ever had a piece of beef that is so good that it literally melts like a piece of butter in your mouth? If you haven't, you can get that here at Charisse! But in all seriousness, the food and beverage quality at this place is top notch - five stars! Came here for a celebration dinner, and ordered a round of cocktails to start. Unfortunately, they were out of ginger beer (how?!) so the ginger beer cocktails section was just a tease on the menu. As it was 100 degrees of hot outside, I opted for the Aviation - say hello to a fancy version of purple drank! It was floral, with lavender and gin, and perfectly refreshing! We ordered escargots as an appetizer and the presentation was very cute - nice ratio of escargot and mushroom, and the sauce was buttery and quite garlicy - luckily i like garlic but it was indeed quite overpowering. I ordered the steak frites medium rare - hello beauty! The plate is not for faint of heart! Loads of delicious and perfectly cooked fries, and a steak so good I could eat the whole cow! My bf ordered the filet mignon and that piece of fine meat was cooked so perfectly that it deserved a victory happy dance! It was accompanied with some potatoes and a carrot... but the meat stole the show. Alas, the food and beverages were the stars of the show because the service and wait time fell a little short. The food took a long time to make, which was totally worth it, but while we were waiting it felt like the service as choppy and not quite attentive. I think the restaurant was short handed because our server was also the bar tender and so he had to juggle making drinks for all the tables as well as tending to them. The whole meal took around 2.5 hours... slightly longer than expected. Other tables that got seated after us, left before us as well. Regardless, I will be back to try Charisse's Happy Hour and brunch! Dinner seems like more of a special occasion type of meal here, but we had a great time and some delicious eats and bevvies! Definitely worth a try!

    French Dip (lunch)

    I've only been here for lunch a couple of times, but each time it has been a damn good lunch. I came during Restaurant Week in 2016, but as is often the case with Restaurant Week, some of the menus are just okay and I ended up ordering off the regular menu. I had a Charisse burger with a side of veggies and it was phenomenal. Very rich for a burger; thick, a little greasy, and topped bacon jam. Insanity. You can see why I got the veggies on the side instead of fries. I was in again recently and got the French Dip and dare I say it's "must-order." The shaved rib-eye steak, the very light jalapeno flavoring, the rich au jus sauce, and the soft baguette bread made this the most memorable French Dip I've had in town. The atmosphere here is cool too with a French brasserie style. It's the opposite of stuffy but it's also very nice. Upscale and relaxed. It was a busy Friday my last time in and the service reflected a big lunch rush, but it was barely noticeable as I buried my face into that delicious sandwich.

    I have always had a great experience here. We popped in Monday night for dinner and I was excited…read moreto see the Fried Chicken Special! We ordered drinks and appetizers. The Bar program is innovative with lots of unique house infusions, shrubs, and local products. Drinks were delicious ( Stardrop and Shrub & Bubs NA ) as well as the House Fries and Bone Marrow appetizer. For dinner i ordered The Half Bird Fried Chicken. I enjoyed 3 of the pieces, took one home and my date had the other piece. All 5 pieces arrived out piping hot, crispy, bone in and flavorful. I loved the herbed butter and skipped the other sauce as it was too spicy for me. The other entree we ordered was the Coulotte Steak. It was recommended Med-Rare and was perfect. Dessert was exquisite. We shared the Marshmallow Pecan Beiget. It was a single fresh made doughnut with a block of toasted Marshmallow. Melissa took care of us and she is polished, attentive, and fun.

Our server Paige took great care of us all evening -- friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. Drinks were a strong start. My wife enjoyed the Rittenhouse Rye, and I went with the White Mezcal Negroni, which was a fun twist on a classic. We mixed it up more than usual with our food order. I typically go straight for the Smoked Pork Chop (and probably will again next time), but this visit I decided to try the Chicken Tagliatelle. No regrets -- just a reminder of how much I love that pork chop. We loaded up on small plates to kick things off: the Pickles, Potted Cheese, Mushrooms, and Carrot Soup. The "pickles" are more of a seasonal vegetable assortment than traditional pickles, which made them more interesting. The mushrooms and the soup were absolute standouts -- rich, comforting, and perfect for a chilly evening. For entrées, we ordered the Courlette Steak and the Chicken Tagliatelle. The steak had great flavor, though it came out a bit more done than the medium we requested. The chicken pasta was hearty and satisfying, and I'm glad I gave it a try. Dessert really stole the show. The Pudding Chômeur was easily the highlight of the night -- warm, sweet, and incredibly comforting. Total crowd-pleaser. The Almond Cherry White Chocolate Ice Cream was also a big hit at the table and a perfect way to finish the meal. Another memorable dinner at one of our favorite spots. Now let's hope my photos post this time.

    TLDR: MUST EAT HERE. You can't go wrong dining here…read more In the short amount of time that I've lived in KC, I've dined here 4? 5? times. I can't believe I haven't written a review yet bc this place rocks my socks off!! The thing that blows my mind is that I've never had a bad meal here. We usually order 5-7 dishes here, and not a single one has been bad. Sure, we've had one, maaaaaybe 2 items where we were like, "okay, that was good but not amazing"--but it's rare. The first time I came here, I looked at the menu and was like, none of these words mean anything to me and some of these straight up sound like Harry Potter spells, but then the food comes and EVERYTHING tastes amazing. It's magical! The menu does rotate frequently, but somethings stay on for a while, like the cauliflower. Never have I ever been so excited about a head of cauliflower, but this one is just so delicious with the nuttiness of the almond slivers and the mild spices from the romesco. YUM. That's a dish you'll have to get! The cocktails are equally magical! The seasonal spritz is my go-to. Definitely don't snooze on the cocktails. They also have an interesting list of wines too, for those who are into some funky stuff. **They do have a sister restaurant called Anjin (which is supposed to be a "Japanese" Izakaya-esque experience) but as a Japanese person, it was a hard no for me. The Antler Room is definitely the better of the two.

Upon his suggestion, plates should be shared, we ordered the following: Cauliflower - this was a delicious dish, highlighted by the perfectly executed romesco 5/5. Honey Roasted Carrots - the use of honey indicates a certain flavor that you would pick up on which was void of this dish. 3/5. Chicken Dumpling Bao Buns - these bow buns had perfect tooth feel, and the chicken was flavorful. 4/5. Scarpinocc - the parsley sauce was creamy and the dark meat rabbit was very moist. 4/5. If you have not eaten at the antler room, it's definitely worth the dining experience. They have a nice open kitchen and it's enjoyable to watch the chefs working on each dish as a well orchestrated team. The bartenders work as a team and the service was excellent. And last, but not laced was the Beehive dessert 5/5. This alone was well worth the dining experience.

My colleagues and I went to Tannin on a random Sunday based off a recommendation from another business owner. He said that they had a killer wine list and great apps. And he was right! What we didn't know was that we picked the best day to go for a group of 6 people. Sunday's buy a bottle get one free really suited our group. We ended up ordering two bottles of white and two bottles of red ($40-50 price range) and shared those between the six of us. We were also allowed to cork-and-carry any wine that we didn't finish. We ordered and shared the following appetizers: cheese & charcuterie, roasted red pepper hummus, crispy shrimp, pommes frites, and chicken shawarma. All of it was great - especially the chicken shawarma. Why this review isn't 5 stars: We were there to ask questions about different wine profiles and really learn about what we were drinking. This task seemed out of the comfort zone of our server, which we thought to be odd. However, there was another gentleman there (whose name I have unfortunately forgotten) that really helped us out and steered us in the right direction all night. His recommendations did not disappoint. The other reason is that the rest of the menu is at a high pricepoint. We only ordered appetizers because of this. Overall - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It's a lovely restaurant. It seems a bit out of the way with mostly corporate buildings around. The restaurant has a nice modern aesthetic. I like the purple hyacinths hanging from the ceiling in one area. It was very steady for an off time in the afternoon. First, our server Olivia was amazing! Very attentive and we were extra needy this day so I really appreciate her patience. We even dropped food on the floor. Oops! She was so nice about it and cleaned it up immediately. We had customizations and extra requests. No problem for her! She went above and beyond. I hope she sees this because she was such a joy! The food was also very good. We started with the biscuits and one peach compote and one blueberry. Both were yummy. They were traditional drop biscuits and I love a good biscuit! We also had an order of fried green tomatoes on goat cheese grits. You get 4 very large slices. I could only eat one. The grits were yummy but there were not enough of them in relation to the friend green tomatoes. They were also encased by a sauce. I'm guessing a remoulade. I don't really care for remoulade sauce so I'd have removed it had I known it came with the dish. It really overpowered the goat cheese taste in the grits. The tomatoes were very al dente and I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. The dish was still good but my least favorite and I would normally love anything with those ingredients and fried green tomatoes are a favorite so the remoulade (or whatever it was) sauce was a real problem for me. I would definitely get them again without the sauce because they are great otherwise. But that sauce just overpowers every other flavor! I got the chicken tender dinner and others in my party got the bone in fried chicken. Everyone liked their chicken. The tenders were a big size. 4 of them but I hit 2 meals out of them. Everyone liked the Parmesan rosemary potatoes. I really liked the bacon green beans. The only side we weren't impressed with was the Mac and cheese unfortunately. The cheese was not good. We got coffees and a chai. All of them were very good. A bit pricey for the amount you get though. Even with the smaller complaints, I'd still give th a 5 because of the outstanding service and the dishes were overall very good and large portions. We will definitely return and I hope to try out a breakfast item next visit!
