We were able to do a walkthrough and trial run ahead of time, and they thoughtfully helped us design a layout that made perfect sense for our intimate 40-person reception. Their guidance made the entire space feel intentional, comfortable, and beautifully put together. The space itself is absolutely stunning--elevated, warm, and perfect for a smaller, more personal celebration. When we arrived after our ceremony, the room flip was seamless and everything was exactly as planned. But what truly set Verdigris apart was the service. The staff was phenomenal--attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our night special. Every detail was handled with care, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy the evening with our guests. We reserved the space for three hours, and it was 100% worth it. If you're considering hosting a private event--especially a wedding reception or intimate gathering--this is the place to do it. We would choose Verdigris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.

There is no denying that this place has a great swanky atmosphere, and the cocktail presentation is…read moreundeniably cool. They offer a wide variety of fancy, creative drinks, though they definitely sit at a higher price point. Unfortunately, the customer service didn't match the upscale price tag. When a few additional members of our party arrived, the staff flat-out refused to let us pull up an extra chair or move any of the seating to accommodate them. What made this especially frustrating was that half the establishment was completely empty at the time. When you are paying top dollar for craft cocktails in a lounge setting, you expect a certain level of hospitality and flexibility. We were nice and asked but was met with coldness that did not match the venue. The last time I was here the service was friendly, so not sure what changed. While the drinks are visually impressive, the rigid and unaccommodating seating policy put a definite damper on our evening. We quickly closed out and went to dinner early so a business associate would not be left standing the entire time. This establishment is better if you were coming for a date night or with a friend and not with a group.

My favorites were the Higos y Queso de Cabra and the Pintxo de Pollo y Chorizo. We ordered about seven different dishes and enjoyed them all -- the food was filling, fresh, and tasted homemade. One of my new favorites in KC.

This place is great if you love variety because you can order multiple tapas and share with the table, and/or just enjoy for yourself! I have tried their Paella Mariscos, Breakfast Paella, and one other, all were SO delicious! The shrimp were cooked especially well and the servings are generous enough for multiple helpings. Their sangria rojo is delicious, as are their wine offerings (I love a place that offers flights!) And they have great discounts each day of the week. If you like coffee, their Spanish coffee comes with a fiery performance by the servers - it was beautiful and so delicious! I really want to compliment their hospitality and attentiveness for the birthday brunch. We had a party of 8 and ordered a ton of tapas to share and the staff/kitchen timed their delivery perfectly along with entree delivery and drink refills so our table was pretty busy. Overall two great experiences, super delicious food, and lots of options so you can try something new with every visit! I'm already looking forward to going back

From the moment I made the reservation, I was impressed. I booked online and received a…read moreconfirmation call within minutes to verify the reservation since it was a busy Saturday night. It was a small touch, but it immediately conveyed a level of attentiveness and professionalism. The highlight of the evening was the service. Kareem was exceptional. He didn't simply take our order--he guided us through the entire experience. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, from explaining dishes in detail to recommending wine pairings that complemented the meal perfectly. He checked on us consistently without ever being intrusive and genuinely made us feel welcome. He wasn't just selling food; he was representing the restaurant and the overall dining experience, and he did so exceptionally well. The restaurant itself strikes a wonderful balance between sophisticated and approachable. It feels upscale without being pretentious. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the space, including the beautiful brass accents above the bar. The patio looked inviting, although the summer heat made indoor seating the better choice during our visit. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, and every dish we ordered was outstanding. Some of the selections were served chilled, which likely contributed to the speed, but nothing felt rushed. The quality and presentation were excellent. My only minor caution is parking. Depending on when you arrive, you may need to park a couple of blocks away and walk. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's worth planning for. If you're unfamiliar with the area, it may be helpful to call ahead and ask for parking recommendations. Overall, this was an incredible dining experience, combining outstanding service, a beautiful atmosphere, and excellent food. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out.

We didn't have reservations and were dressed casually. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and we were seated in what was referred to as the "other dining room," down a dark hallway into a musty, warm, and humid space. Service was prompt and courteous, but the food was very disappointing. We were served a cucumber salad that oddly tasted like peanuts, followed by six completely flavorless meatballs--no seasoning at all, not even salt. The prices might be reasonable if the quality matched expectations, but it didn't. The contrast between the main dining room and the "other room" also felt stark and uncomfortable, as if it were a second-tier seating area. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

We ordered a half-and-half pizza with the Classic Cheese on one side and the Newbie on the other. The Classic Cheese comes with mozzarella, red sauce, pecorino, parmesan, and fresh basil. While cheese pizza may seem simple, this one was anything but! The blend of cheeses was incredibly flavorful, the cheese pull was perfection, and the fresh basil added not only brightness but additional flavor that truly made this cheese pizza stand out from other places! The Newbie comes with a combination of red sauce, mozzarella, roasted garlic, caramelized shallots, pecorino, parmesan, hot honey, and Italian sausage; However, we substituted that for chicken. This pizza is the perfect balance between savory and sweet. Every bite was packed with flavor! One of our favorite things was the thin crust--it had the perfect crispness while still holding all of the toppings beautifully. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was just as enjoyable. The restaurant is cozy, inviting, and beautifully decorated with artwork that gives the space so much character. It made for a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with family! We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you're looking for flavorful pizza with quality ingredients in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Orange by Devoured is absolutely worth a visit!

Perfectly medium and soft. So good. More nuanced than salmon? I had the Chicken Fried Halibut Clavicle. I would normally order lighter and more toward raw or lightly cooked dishes. Having someone prepare an underused part of a fish... in the Midwest? I had to do it. Photos won't do that plate justice (because it was deep fried), but let me put it this way: if you're a "white meat" chicken person, you're probably happy with a halibut filet. But if you're a chicken thigh person... this is your order. Clavicle bones are angular and sorta fluted so a lot of the meat is contacting bone. Insanely moist and flavorful, but just as snow-white. Atop a bed of country mashed potatoes and sage gravy, and collard greens. Loved it. More food than the photo shows. Wow. I didn't expect that. Must have been a large fish to begin with. The counter downstairs looks cool, but the view from above provides a grounded sense of space for downtown. This place looks good on Parkville... but Parkville looks good on this place. We have lived here 13 years and have longed for a proper place to occupy the best physical space in the street. Nailed it. A great date night made better by our experience here.

The restaurant appeared to be significantly understaffed, which likely contributed to several issues during our visit. I ordered the Steak & Two Eggs and requested my steak medium rare. It arrived well done with no pink whatsoever. While I understand mistakes happen, a steak cooked that far beyond the requested temperature is difficult to overlook, especially when it is one of the more expensive breakfast items on the menu. The breakfast potatoes were also inconsistent. Some pieces were cooked properly, while many others were extremely hard and crunchy when bitten into, creating an unpleasant texture and making the dish difficult to enjoy. To make matters worse, one of our meals was served on a chipped plate with a noticeable section missing from the rim. This should have been caught and removed from service before reaching a guest's table. The staff members we interacted with were friendly and professional despite clearly being stretched thin. Unfortunately, between the staffing shortage, the overcooked steak, the poorly prepared potatoes, and the chipped plate, the overall experience did not reflect the quality level suggested by the menu prices and atmosphere. There is potential here, but management needs to focus on staffing and quality control to ensure guests receive the experience they are paying for.
