    Phenomenal charcuterie!
    Mary M.

    Blown away by a brand spanking new(3 days) bar/restaurant, Lilico's!! They are in the old Pairing space on Oak down the sidewalk from Green dirt. Service was fantastic and friendly, cocktails were nice and food was very tasty. Generous portions on the charcuterie board, pictured below with a wonderful variety of options. Thier take on bruschetta had the perfect garlic forward, flavor, too! Happy hour pricing is great! This will be a common stop for me. Did I mention they open at 3:33 PM and close at 11:11 PM? Gotta love it! This experience is proof positive that an inconvenience is an adventure, wrongly considered. Had Le Lounge not have been closed for a private party, we wouldnt gave found this gem! Make a point to stop in here, they are simply wonderful!

    Plato De Carne Y Queso; Jamon Serrano & Manchego selection
    Mirette Z.

    We visited during restaurant week and it was a great little bite! We got to try both appetizer offerings (the Marinated Olives + Pan Con Tomate Y Mozzarella Pinchos) and for course 2 I ordered the Plato De Carne Y Queso with Jamon Serrano and Manchego for myself and tried the Open Face Fishwife Tuna Melt. I also tried an orange brew from the tap that I can't recall the name of but I did enjoy it. The Mansana Y Queso Cabra was the dessert course. I think it was definitely worth the $20 for 3 courses, I was satiated. I'd come back for their happy hour. Their bathrooms were really cool and clean and the whole place had a nice ambience and friendly servers.

    I wandered into Lillico's because the restaurant that I was trying to go to in the neighborhood was closed on a Tuesday evening. Thankfully Lillico's had a fake fireplace on the sidewalk that attracted me to check it out. Unfortunately for the large "Taverna", I was the only patron at 7pm, but that created some of the best customer service that one could ask for. I sat at the bar and had the undivided attention from a manager, the bartender Jacob and the hostess Yuki- my 3 new best friends! The menu is small plates, fish tins, and charcuterie. I ordered the pinchos sampler. Two pieces of the four different offerings and two dessert pinchos added on. The pincho is defined as an appetizer with meats and cheeses skewered to a piece of bread. The small soft slices were topped with dipping oil, salami, prosciutto, Serrano ham, gouda, tomato puree, mozzarella, manchego, and the dessert had apple, honey, and cheese on a shortbread. Every single one of them was fantastic and re-orderable. The seasoning that was sprinkled onto them made me wet my fingers and dab just not to leave any flavor behind. With an exquisite platter of appetizers and getting to talk travel, food and music with Jacob and Yuki made for a perfect yet rare weekday outing. Eager to return!

    Toasted mackerel with Gouda, chips and baquette with pickled onions and cream cheese.

It was one of the best mezcal cocktails I've ever had, and I stuck to those for the rest of the night. Drinks came out incredibly fast, and our server was attentive and informative. 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

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.

It was the perfect night to sit by the windows and watch the clouds roll in as a thunderstorm approached. The service was excellent. Our server, Jenna, was friendly, attentive, and quick throughout the entire meal, making the experience even better. The food was delicious. 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.

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.

I'd consider it an option for fine dining in Kansas City, but it's not a place I'm dying to go back. If you've had fine dining in larger cities or internationally, you may feel the same. We ordered: --Cauliflower (romesco, golden raisin & caper vinaigrette, garlic, almonds, parsley) --Pappardelle (orchard morels, escargot, pickled mushrooms, black garlic butter, seaweed bread crumbs) --Grilled Pork Steak (sakura pork collar, gochujang pepper jelly glaze, ramp kimchi polenta, red eye gravy, spinach) --Garganelli (heirloom cherry tomatoes, marinated artichokes, pickled green chilis, basil, parmigiano reggiano)

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.

From the vibe to the wine to the plating, it gave sexy grown-up dinner with a side of culinary flex. We started with the chicken fried snails which were wild in the best way. Crunchy, earthy, and topped with something dark and rich that played well against the mossy breading. Very "if you know, you know" energy. The burrata was perfect. Creamy, lush, drizzled with citrusy olive oil, and paired with toast that was charred but not burnt. Like, it understood the assignment. Bonus points for the microgreens. We love a garnish that tries. The asparagus plate was light but layered. Braised fennel, hard-boiled eggs, and that béarnaise? A dream. Balanced, buttery, and spring-forward without being bland. Wine list is thoughtful. We went with red, and it paired beautifully with everything. Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and didn't rush us once. Corvino feels like Kansas City's answer to a date night in Chicago or New York. Elevated without the attitude. Sexy without trying too hard. If you're gonna spend, this is where you do it.
