    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Classic neighborhood jewel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's on the corner of Main & Westport Road that's under renovation changing the iconic Katz Drugstore into apartments. Then Talleur restaurant, owned by tha same people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Romantic, small n intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This is your sign to visit this French inspired cocktail lounge in Kansas City: Cheval! [[HIGHLIGHT]]From floor to ceiling, this spot has French decor that will make you feel like you transported to a lounge in France![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cheval has signature beverages, small appetizers, and mouthwatering desserts. We really enjoyed the chocolate ganache dessert! They also have a fantastic $10 cocktail menu, which is hard to find these days at nice cocktail lounges! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cheval is a wonderful spot to visit for date night or a girls night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check out Cheval next time you are looking for a spot to grab drinks in Kansas City!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a unique atmosphere to grab a drink before you have dinner. It's a very intimate setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I suggest getting there early but absolutely worth it. Highly recommend the macaroons with a glass of prosecco. The service was friendly and went above and beyond.

    We came here for a nightcap after dinner and loved it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super cozy, with comfy chairs, a beautiful chandelier hangs above the bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], excellent service and really good drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is French-inspired and beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely recommend.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cheval is across the street from tailleur and provided the perfect spot for pre dinner cocktails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Reservations are essential. I loved the holiday themed drinks with names to match holiday movies like die hard, Christmas Vacation, The Elf and more. The drinks were very well executed, the staff knowledgeable and provided great suggestions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The holiday decor was fun too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I just went to Cheval for their holiday bar. I had the Buddy the Elf, which was yummy. We also shared the charcuterie and rye bread appetizers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was definitely a cute seasonal atmosphere and the way the drinks were served was fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will say, it was a bit slow. The servers were VERY nice, but they were definitely understaffed. So, just be prepared. I would try Cheval again for sure -- in fact, I can't wait to try their regular menu, as there were several items that looked intriguing!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is so gorgeous, the ambiance is amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Same owners as Taileur so I knew it was going to be a good vibe. The service was great, we were well taken care of and even given free champagne. The one thing that just holds me back from 5 stars is that the drinks just weren't stellar. They weren't bad, but not worth $15 in my opinion. I did the Salt & Pepper martini and it not being in a martini glass threw me off and then it was just okay. My sister ordered their "surprise drink" and it ended up being a type of Manhattan that just tasted very watered down. They have a new menu coming soon so I'll be back to try it.

    Stopped in after our dinner reservation was late across the street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got window facing seats to do some people watching.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was cozy with limited seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks were good, I got a bartenders pick. I know it had some gin and bubbles.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cheval had been on my list for a long time so when I was invited to a happy hour there over the holidays I jumped at the chance to experience this cozy bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's located along main st so you'll want to plan for the traffic with all the construction, but we had no issues finding street parking nearby. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as holiday bars go, they were all decked out and only required a small deposit to reserve our table which I thought was super reasonable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some pop up bars these days around the holidays go nuts with 20-30 dollar covers so it was nice to have that ambiance without the massive overhead.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Now the space is small, and our group was around six people, so we took the main table in the middle, which I think sort of took away from the whole vibe as I think to really enjoy this intimate space you'd have more fun nestled into one of the smaller tables along the side of the bar with a date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bar was full, as it was the holidays and the drink I had was superb. It did take a while for cocktails to come out though, which in the end made it so I only had time to enjoy one. Would I return? Absolutely! I'd probably go with a smaller group though and on a night when I had more time to soak it all in.

    I showed up on a Wednesday evening and Eric the bartender proceeded to make my entire evening a delight with his creativity, kindness, and conversation! He made several fantastic mezcal drinks and discussed some of the experimental cocktails he was making as well. Every person who came in was warmly greeted and every drink was absolutely delicious! Beautiful small industrial Victorian type chic place. Must try their cocktails! They also have a wine list and some food items like smoked salmon and charcuterie.

    Quaint, European, good vibes, and cozy. What more could you want? Full bar, so even if you don't find something on their menu, you can ask for them to make you something else. Wait staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Treat yourself at Tailleur and then head over here for a cocktail. It's literally across the street.

    This is an ambient cocktail bar located in Westport. We've been multiple times for a happy hour or drinks on a date night. They recently added mocktail options. Keep in mind, it's first come, first serve, so for best luck at seating try to go during a non-busy time or you might have to wait. The team that works here is always friendly and provide quick service.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stunning place! Love the interiors and cozy intimate vibe of this cocktail lounge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks are unique and perfectly balanced. I've been for their normal menu but also their special Holiday pop up Bon Noel. Make sure and take a trip across the street to Tailleur for dinner afterwards!

It was the perfect night to sit by the windows and watch the clouds roll in as a thunderstorm approached. The service was excellent.

We ordered the lobster roll, Braised & Blue pizza, meatballs, oysters with caviar, and the chicken and shrimp yakitori. We also had a couple cocktails- Spicy Paloma and Pineapple Express made with reposado. Everything was flavorful and well prepared, but the lobster roll was definitely my favorite of the night. Between the stunning rooftop views, great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food, Prime Social made for a perfect evening in Kansas City.

Also tried the snickerdoodle martini which was amazing and I wish I was able to have another. Prices were reasonable and igloo had a heater, speaker, windows, different seating, complimentary cookies and hot chocolate, and 3 types of games to play. I would definitely love to come back, especially at sunset.

    The Puttery completely blew me away!!…read more This place had been on my list to try out for a long time and I wish I'd gone sooner. It's located in a cool area in the middle of the plaza right underneath Chiefs Fit gym. As soon as you enter you get a feel for the great ambiance and fun variety of music. We came in during a cold snowy day and took full advantage of the FREE coat check at the front desk. On the first floor there's a mini golf course as well as a full bar and seating area. Once you go downstairs though, you'll see just how massive the place is. Theres TONS of seating and cool little nooks to hangout in which make it great for a date night or corporate events. Once you get into the mini golf there's some great courses to check out. Each one has a different theme and they make it super simple to track your points. Simply enter the names of all your players on the touch screen at the first hole, then enter the number of strokes afterwards. After that it will follow you throughout the course until you're finished and tell you who wins at the end! There's also a place to sit your drinks at the start of each hole with a menu of course specific cocktails that I highly recommend trying. Every part of this place is perfect to take pictures and have a great time. But in my opinion, the true highlight of the Puttery is the food. I had the pleasure of meeting the head chef while here and he truly puts his heart into the menu. Our server Mariah was also super helpful giving us drink and food recommendations throughout our time here. Everything sounded amazing but I had to go with the Cajun Chicken Philly since I'm a sucker for a Philly sandwich. It was one of my favorite sandwiches I've ever had. From the soft delicious bread to the unbelievably juicy and tender chicken, this was such a great dish. The combination of ingredients and the plating itself made it clear that nothing comes as an afterthought here. I also tried the loaded fries which were a great recent addition to the menu. Last, we finished it off by trying the Tiramisu, Raspberry Donut Cheesecake, and the Bourbon Bread Pudding. Each one was really amazing but my favorite was the Raspberry Donut Cheesecake, and I'm not even a huge cheesecake fan! I definitely plan to come back here just for the food because it was so delicious!! And on top of that, they recently started a meal prep service which I plan to take full advantage of! Overall you can tell that every detail is thought through at the Puttery. It truly feels like a luxury experience with an element of fun to round it out. The service is amazing and the food and drinks are to die for. If you're ever looking for a fun date night, a group outing, or even just a place for a solo dinner or drinks, you have to check this place out!

We did all of that and took quite a bit of snapshots along the way. First stop in at front to indicate the experience you want to have. Maleah handled our check-in and they offer a coat check as well. There are 3 courses: First floor, Art Museum; Basement level has Conservatory and Rooftop courses. All have unique displays curated with 9-holes to take on. You can enjoy drinks while you goto each hole which makes for more enjoyment! I'm not going to lie; it was very challenging and extremely fun! We hit all 3 courses. As far as playing mini-golf and attempting to do well, I'd say I like the Conservatory course. We pretty much were there until closing. There was also food & drinks a part of our visit. We sat at the bar where Madi served up 3 great drinks and we go to try the Spinach Artichoke dip. She made us Espresso martini and then a Pumkin flavored martini, both tasted exactly as expected with a bit a Baileys for added flavor.

Nestled inside the ultra-luxurious Raphael Hotel, this upscale Restaurant/jazz club had our group feeling like we were heading to a high-society adult prom. The ambiance practically demands a raised eyebrow and a sophisticated toast. Naturally, the libations were flowing. On one end of the table sat a chocolate martini so decadent it looked borderline sinful. On the polar opposite end of the spectrum, I ordered an extra-dirty Chopin martini, complete with blue-cheese-stuffed olives. Look, it didn't reinvent the wheel, but it was executed exactly the way I'd make it at home--assuming I could ever actually find a bottle of Chopin in any of our local liquor establishments. (Seriously, who is hoarding it?) We kicked things off with the gourmet bread basket. Do yourself a favor and cough up the extra $5 for the super soft bread and whipped butter; your tastebuds will thank you for not being cheap. For my starter, I opted for the she-crab soup, which presented itself as a spectacularly rich crab bisque. Word on the street is that she-crab Is vastly superior to he-crab. This is a PG-rated review, so I shall leave the mechanics to your imagination. Then came the piece de résistance: the 12-ounce ribeye, flanked by asparagus spears and Delmonico potatoes. This sucker was thick. When I asked our waitress for a proper steak knife, she politely pointed to my standard-issue butter knife and confidently declared, "That's it!" I thought she was joking. She wasn't. Melt-in-your-mouth is an understatement; this medium-rare masterpiece yielded to a butter knife like it was soft brie. The sides were equally stellar. The Delmonico potatoes were a beautifully elevated, elite version of scalloped potatoes, and the asparagus was snappy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The evening's only tragic misstep was the cheesecake. It, too, was incredibly thick--but in all the wrong ways. While fortunately not overbaked, the texture resembled a very well-flavored, highly gourmet paste. To add insult to injury, the graham cracker crust had completely surrendered its structural integrity, offering none of the classic crunch I crave. Minor dessert tragedy aside, it was a phenomenal evening. The service was impeccable, the vibe was unmatched, and that steak alone warrants a return visit. Next time, I'll just be exploring a different corner of the dessert menu.
