Goat cheese pastries were sooo good very creamy middle and the sauce added a nice fruity acidity. Pasta was really good and not what we expected. The sauce was more similar to a massaman curry flavor but it was very good. The homemade ricotta was really creamy but nothing crazy special flavor wise. Still really good though! Jammy eggs- similar to deviled eggs. The spice was almost a little too sour but the pistachios were really good on them and the yolks were a perfect soft boil. Server was very nice and attentive! read more

Omg... I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely was not this...! I'm an extra fan! Our server was friendly and had some great recommendations. The menu just had so many things that we love and he really helped narrow things down for us. We honestly didn't expect everything to be so damn tasty! Also, the portions were so generous! We definitely ordered a little too much... haha, but we also ate everything *burp* bc we just couldn't get enough. The bone marrow was one of our favorites as were the chickpea fries! The smoked trout dip was also so, so gooood. Also, DO NOT SNOOZE ON THE GOAT CHEESE BOUREKAS!! That seasonal jam goes so well with it... I dream about those Bourekas. I'll get off my soap box now. It's my new favorite casual restaurant now. I'll definitely be back for happy hour! Also, they have all-day happy hour drinks on Tuesdays! read more

Made a reservation for dinner on New Year's eve during our trip to KC. We got to our table within a couple of minutes. The restaurant was sort of packed. I liked the red color themed interior, with wall arts and decor. The single page menu had appetizers, salads, seafood, pasta and meat dishes. We started with halved fudgy eggs aka deviled eggs. It had so much cilantro, paprika and other stuff on the top, totally distorted the flavor and the eggs were cold too. The lobster also similarly lacked flavor. In roasted bone marrow, I could barely find any marrow. Lots of scallion and some picked onion just thrown on top that didn't bring any enhancement to the dish. The grilled branzino was the best dish. Luckily this one had tiny herbs in controlled quantity, though again there was no real purpose for it. The service was fine overall. All staff members were friendly. Despite being busy, dishes came out in short intervals. We were done with the dinner in about an hour. But overall the food was very understanding to me, especially the enormous amount of different green garnish on top of every dish. read more

Such a fun spot for a romantic meal or to catch up with friends. Such a beautiful patio to enjoy when the weather is nice or they have heaters when the weather gets chilly.

Food was delish! We came here for dinner and made a reservation at 5:15 PM on a Friday night. They had plenty of seats at that time. I ordered the mushroom which were so so tasty. I also got the cheese bourekas - those were tasty but a little bit too cheesy. The jam that came with it did balance the cheese. The highlight was the churros! They were melt in your mouth, goodness and so so good. read more

One of the best places for happy hour. So many delicious items to select from. Can't beat the price anywhere else! You get a lot of food for very little money.

The staff is terrific, the atmosphere is fun and vibrant. I think the food is hit or miss. We loved the shawarma cauliflower and the Asian buns (the later was a Thursday night special). The mussels were fishier than they should have been (I know, they're mussels, but these just weren't the freshest). Cocktails were okay- I liked the milk punch, but my In Da Clurb, while it tasted good, smelled like an aquarium (the egg white foam, no doubt), which put me off to it. I would totally come back and try more dishes since there is so much variety, and I love that it's all tapas. read more

The happy hour is a great deal and covers a good part of the menu! The staff was super friendly and accommodated us without a reservation! Highly suggest coming here during the happy hour timing. The best dish we tried was the ricotta! It was amazing and we got extra bread because even the bread was amazing! I did try the crudo and was very disappointed. It didn't taste like a crudo should and was honestly super fishy for a yellowtail. We ended up not even finishing the dish. read more

I know I have been here, a few times I think...perhaps for a drinks..I know I would have remembered the food! I stopped in after a walk, wanting something healthy! This was definitely a stop worth the stopping! Chickpeas two ways, when would I ever try that? The humus sounded really good and when I saw the fried humus how could I not try that? I love to cook and have been doing the plant based thing for a while now...Fried Chickpeas..hmmm. Now these came out looking pretty amazing, I am pretty sure I posted a pic! I will have to say this left an impression! Like a mozzarella stick but with humus like stuff in the center!..turns out to be a French dish that seriously hits! This is the stop, great service , amazing food and way above average healthy food! KT read more

Extra Virgin - Mezze plate - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I Finally came here for a small group happy hour and was so pleasantly impressed with the menu options and cocktails. Our waiter was so kind and helpful with ordering as a group. He recommended the birria taco special that did not disappoint one bit. Our group ordered multiple happy hour items along with Multiple orders of the birria tacos and it was all fantastic and super flavorful. My favorite dish was the ricotta dip because of how light and fluffy it was. The happy hour drinks were also amazing, the "in the club we are all fam" was my favorite drink because of the flavor notes it had and was something I hadn't experienced yet in KC. Definitely a must go to happy hour spot in KC and if you can snag a patio spot it's even better! read more

Sat at the bar where I was waited on by Freha (praying I spelt it right). She was super kind and attentive and makes an EXCELLENT Old Fashioned. I had the Clam Linguine and loved it, it was a perfect portion and very generous with the clams. read more

Another great experience at this place such an amazing stuff, especially we were working with Pancho an amazing server that we got. He had a bright smile on his face had great recommendation of food. He was super fast. He always seem attentive and was looking for helping us and making our experience better, the ambience was great. We were able to sit at a different side of the restaurant this time. It was much quieter and we obviously got good reservation done so I recommend everybody to make reservations beforehand this place always get packed. read more

Solid spot for tapas, with an awesome Happy Hour (M-F, 4-6pm, 50% off items marked with HH!) Whether you should choose La Bodega or Extra Virgin depends on what kind of experience you're looking for--La Bodega is a bit more traditional Spanish style, whereas this spot brings in outside influences to provide a more fusion feel. La Bodega is also better for groups since you could order a paella to share there, while Extra Virgin is harder to share for parties larger than 4, and Extra Virgin is more likely to run up a hefty bill. Comparisons aside, the quality of the food and the service at both are excellent. My group split five dishes between 8 people. To really feel full, we probably would've needed at least 2-3 more, but it was enough to feel good about the night. For recommendations, I'd say go for the smoked trout dip (my favorite of the dinner!) and lamb kebab, could probably pass on the branzino (tasty and super flaky but ultimately not good value for how much you pay and what comes out) and the octopus (disappointed by this one since I usually love octopus but this dish came out very metallic-tasting (?) with a grainy bean base that I wasn't in love with). read more

Our original plan was to visit during happy hour on Monday, but it was fully booked when we arrived! We ended up coming back for dinner with a reservation. All the flavors were great! Lots of combinations I wouldn't have thought of, but were delicious. Didn't have time for lots of drinks, so will be back soon. Monday they also have pizza night and half price bottles of wine. Nice ambiance. Would come back again! read more

Now this is how you properly do tapas! Plenty of tapas to choose from, some more out there than others. The Grilled Bread & Ricotta is a must to start with, and you can get more bread for a small upcharge (worth it!). The Fattoush Salad was surprisingly, one of my favorite items. It was phenomenally flavored--- have honestly never had a salad like that before. The Mediterranean Rice was a Thursday Night special and lightly crisped. The Lamb Kebabs were beautifully plated and the pomegranate pairing was perfect. I'm not big on deviled eggs, but the Halved Fudgy Eggs were on another level. Of all the menu items, only the Chicken Liver Mousse (too out there, not my preferred taste) and Steamed Buns (I love pork belly, but the black garlic aioli was slathered on and too sweet for my liking) were a no. We were visiting to celebrate a birthday and they so kindly brought out complimentary desserts for the table! I'm not big on coconut but the Coconut Cake was good, and the Pineapple Passion Sorbet was actually so so refreshing and delicious. I'd order that again just for the sorbet. Churros aren't my preferred dessert but wow were they perfectly soft, chewy, and sweet. Overall, the food was delicious, albeit on the saltier side, but every dish was oh so flavorful. Service stood out as well--- our waiter was super great and attentive. I will 100% be back to try out their happy hour! read more

I have wanted to try Extra Virgin for some time. So glad we finally made it, as it was a good experience. First, parking can be tricky, but we were lucky. Both the restaurant and the patio were lovely, and felt warm and comfortable. Our actual table was fine, but very small for two when tapas are the primary offering. It was difficult to manage more than two food items, and we actually did not order any additional items because of this. The cocktails were fun and inventive and the food was good, though not outstanding as I was expecting. We had the giant prawns, hummus/Mezze spreads and a roasted feta plate. All were well prepared, though the prawns were slightly overdone and the feta was tough and difficult to spread. I felt like everything was close to hitting the mark, just missing by a bit. Assigning four stars, as we had a great evening and lots of fun. read more

Just tried this KC staple for the first time recently and loved it! My boyfriend and I were looking for a new place to have a nice dinner kind of last minute and Extra Virgin squeezed us in! We sat in the semi private area, and honestly, I think sitting outside would have been better. Walking past the patio and dining area, the semi private room seemed a little less lively and charming, but it was still nice! Our server was great and I appreciated that there were a ton of drink/wine options. It is small plates which is pretty fun so you get to try a ton of stuff. We ordered the Lebanese Hummus, Chickpea Fries, Fudgy Eggs, Trout Dip, the Tomato Shrimp and the Turkish Chocolate Torte for dessert! I loved most of this, but I think the standouts were the hummus, shrimp and dessert! I could have gone without the chickpea fries which was a little disappointing but the texture was just a little soft for me. Overall, the meal was very good and I recommend coming here to try a bunch of yummy dishes with someone you love sharing meals with! read more

I would give the 6 stars if I could. Had a reso on a Sat night early dinner before going to a soccer game. Nice atmosphere-great smells entering and very friendly and courteous employees throughout the evening. Great service-waiter was friendly, explained the meals, helped with portion size. Meals are smallish plates, family style to be shared. They are very cognizant of celiac disease and assured us there would be no cross contamination of foods or plates. Veggies in addition to pita for the GF requirement. For the 4 of us we ordered: 1) meza spread--beet+carrot hummus + baba-ganoush --all excellent. 2) cucumber salad-not something I personally order but it was superb--the peanuts made it unique and tasty. 3) Grilled bread and ricotta cheese--very nice-plenty to share. 4) chickpea fries-interesting-not greasy and a nice dipping sauce. 5) 1/2 cornish game hen--a wonderful cinnamon rub and other spices-kinda small for 3 to share and beware of tiny bones! 6)beef skewer--tender, well spiced, tzatziki sauce to dip in and plenty to share. They brought out the food in shifts so we had table space as well as keeping the hot entrees hot. Overall we had just the right amount of food for 4 people. Amazing meal--I wished I lived here. And the price was outstanding! read more

Extra Virgin - Goat cheese bourekas and seasonal lobster roll - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This was to die for. I came for a friend's birthday, and while extremely hesitant as a picky eater, I was blown away by both the food and the energy. I wish I had gotten photos of all the dishes we had, but since most are tapas, we ordered quite a few for sharing. We tried the hummus trio, which was absolutely phenomenal. I would recommend ordering an extra side of pita, you will most likely want it. We also tried the eggs, cauliflower, chickpea fries, and more! For my main entree I had the spicy vodka pasta. Every single dish tasted well made and perfectly seasoned. Mediterranean food was never my favorite, but now it is definitely something I am interested to continue to explore in flavors. It was so light, yet filling. The space was absolutely delightful to enjoy our food. Being in a large group, we were on an elevated table, that had dim lighting to accentuate the dinner party vibe. Our server managed all of us so well, especially with our random ordering of tapas and big plates. She was so kind, and helpful at explaining some of the menu items to us! Will be back again and again! read more

Wow, the food is insane here! I really enjoyed everything I had, especially so since it was half price during Happy Hour, which is absolutely the way to go here. You can't go wrong ordering pretty much anything, but my fave dish was the potatoes. Our server clearly loved what she was doing and chatted with us about food & wine, which I appreciated. I'd definitely come back and bring a big group to share everything with - make reservations though!!!! read more

Extra Virgin - Bikini sandwich is outstanding - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I went to their happy hour for the second time this weekend. Service was great, food was outstanding. We had the beef kofta kabob, Cornish hen, roasted feta, fudgy eggs and roasted autumnal vegetables. I can't believe what a great value the happy hour is. Healthy, flavorful, delicious food and great quantity for under $40 total for two people. They were all delicious but I was especially enamored by the halved fudgy eggs and, of all things, the roasted vegetables. I keep thinking about how good they were and I'm going to attempt to recreate them at home. Get the veggies, send me the recipe please. read more
