I really wanted to love this place because it has a lot going for it, especially when you first walk in. The ambiance is honestly one of the best parts. The lighting is warm, the space feels modern but still comfortable, and it has that upscale date night feel without being overly formal. It creates a great first impression and sets expectations for a really polished experience. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite live up to that atmosphere. Service was probably the biggest letdown. Our server came off a bit awkward and did something I've honestly never experienced before. Multiple times during the meal, we were asked to lift our plates and glasses so they could wipe underneath them while we were still actively eating. It completely disrupted the flow of the meal and just felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. On top of that, drink service was pretty slow. We had empty sodas sitting on the table for a while, and even though several staff members walked by, no one really checked in or offered refills unless we flagged it. For a place at this price point, you expect a bit more attentiveness. The food itself was decent, but both entrees came out noticeably too salty. Not just slightly over seasoned, but enough that it took away from the overall enjoyment of the dishes. It was disappointing, especially given how promising everything looked. However, the cake was fantastic but again, $16 for a slice of cake in Wichita is just too much, I pay less when I visit LA for work trips. What really sealed it for me was the price. For two people, one appraiser and two entrees, two sodas, and a single slice of cake plus tip, we ended up at around 150 dollars. That's a pretty steep bill for a meal that had service issues and food that missed the mark on seasoning. Rotating menu every two months with locally sourced ingredients is great, but poor service and a steep price for overly salty food is enough to keep me from ever coming back. read more

My wife and I have been a hand full of times now, and each time has been an outstanding experience. We've sat kitchen side, and it's awesome to watch the kitchen crew who look to genuinely have a good time with what they do. The chefs and bartenders show a mastery of flavor and food in every dish and drink we've tried. We genuinely cannot wait to come back after each visit. read more

Traveling for work and wanted a nice place to sit at the bar & order a good meal. This place hit on all cylinders. I sat at the bar with a full view of the chefs working, the staff is very attentive and the food is magnificent. I ordered the Paloma Noir as a drink, it may be seasonal but it was delicious and just perfect. But the star of the show is the Lamb Orecchiette, truly one of the best meals I've had in awhile. When I tell you I could have licked the bowl I'm not joking. It was that good. read more

The charcuterie plate was unexpected but in a good way since I didn't expect non-typical cheeses and meats like brie cheese. This restaurant elevates dishes to a whole new level since it has the level of culinary expertise that is usually only seen in bigger cities like Chicago or even KC, and it uses local Kansas ingredients which is a standout. The restaurant is also nicely decorated in the inside and in some spots I can actually watch the chefs cook food which was pretty neat. The campo lindo smoked chicken was pretty good. Unlike most restaurants, they actually make desserts in-house, so i ended up getting the carrot cake which was an elevate take on the usual carrot cake with sorbet and a different shape. Overall, I might come back for special occasions despite the steep price point. read more

This is the best restaurant in Wichita. I was able to sit right in front of the kitchen and watched the Chef's work their magic. Small team but super tight knit. Food was excellent and very creative.

Food: 5/5 The food was great. Like everything we ordered was well appointed and flavorful. I would go back again because the food was very tasty but it is a bit pricy. Service: 4/5 The service was good but the server was eccentric and that made it slightly less enjoyable. I didn't think it was possible for the server to stay too long at the table or stop by too much but this server was not just overly friendly but it verges on just plain weird and made it hard to enjoy the meal with our group and have conversations because they interrupted us so many times and tarried too long. Ambiance: 4/5 The location is weird and was hard to find as the building is a converted office I think? The interior was dim, making the menu difficult to read and while it did create a more intimate atmosphere it also made ordering annoying. The design of the space felt like an ungainly mash up of two or three different genres. It felt like it was trying to be cottage core, brutalist and art Nouveau all at once. Despite this, the music was calming, the chairs were comfy, and the place was clean. (The design was definitely a choice, and maybe some others would really like it.) read more

The ambience was so fun. Little loud as they are calling out orders and repeating them so my suggestion is to not sit right by where they cook. Food was incredible. The person I was with had the pork chop. It was massive and he ate the whole meal. I ordered the lamb. The pasta, lamb, feta, and spinach were all perfect. We also tried the whipped feta dip. The "chips" that it came with were seasoned and out of this world. 10/10 read more

What a wonderful experience at Lotte. The place is clean and well decorated, the food is incredible, and everyone was so nice! They are a farm to table establishment with many Gluten free and vegan options. They also have a garden on the roof and grow all their veggies! Our server, Miguel, gave us plenty of wonderful recommendations. We started with the feta dip, and then enjoyed the scallops and steak. The drinks were on point as well (a Manhattan and mocktail). We finished with some dessert (the key lime torte was fire!). Would highly recommend you stop here should you find yourself in Wichita! read more

Business dinner in Wichita. I typically don't stay downtown as it's not the best after dark. Lotte has a good vibe and service. The food is good as well, but some dishes outshine others.

We had an amazing experience. All the presentations of the food were phenomenal. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The waiter described the meat as "melt in your mouth" and his description was spot on. The steak dish had potatoes two ways and it provided a difference of texture and flavor I didn't know I was missing. The pappardelle pasta offered a complexities of flavors from citrus to savory that paired well together. The highlight of the night was definitely the Horchata Leche cake; it is a must get. The cake was not overly sweet and extremely moist. It had a lot of different textures that made the dish exceptional. We will definitely be coming back! The option for Iberico ham was great as well! The ambience was warm and modern. Service was on point and attentive. Extremely happy Wichita has a place like this. read more

I'm happy I found this place near our air bnb. We decided to visit Lotte thanks to my Yelp app during our business trip. The food and service were excellent. For dinner I ordered a sparkling glass of champagne, my significant other and I split a salad and the restaurant actually was kind enough to split for us without even having to ask. Our friends ordered the brioche which we got to try, and it was delicious as well. However, I feel like a sourdough would have been better but that's just me being picky. For our entrees I had the scallops upon recommendation from our lovely server, my guy had the crispy pork, my friend had the lamb dish with pasta, and her husband had a chicken dish. We all enjoyed our meals. If I had to rate the food alone I would give it a solid 3/5, it is good but the flavors and textures aren't mastered in my humble personal opinion. The service was amazing as well as the ambiance. I would highly recommend this place, and would give it a total of 4/5 stars. If you're ever in the area give this new restaurant a try! read more

We visited Lotte recently for a special dinner and it did not disappoint. They had just changed their menu and we started off with some Korean wings and the crudo, both of which were delicious. I had a cocktail, the Gin and Gourd which did not taste like I thought it would from the menu description, it was more citrusy, but was very good. Entrees were the sea bass with carrot risotto and the steak with a mushroom puree. My fish was delicious, beautiful crispy skin and the risotto was perfect with it. My husbands steak though was amazing, we were both scraping his plate at the end of the meal for another taste of the mushroom sauce. Service was perfect, great suggestions from our server and just the right amount of being checked up on. The restaurant is very clean and modern with a long Chefs table and funky light fixtures. Lots of light from the windows. read more

I've been here for several times for date nights with friends and the wife and we always really enjoy the place. The food is exceptionally good and the place is clean and well run. It is unique and more like a European bistro without being pretentious. The portions are normal size not overdone so you can enjoy their amazing dessert selection. I seem to always like the beef or steak option. Give this place a try if you haven't already it's great. read more

Lottery is a farm to table experience that exceeded all expectations. The ambience os cheerful and warm. The staff were all welcoming and efficient. I sat at the bar and enjoyed full menu service. My cocktail, a Hot Tivarri was off the charts good with a spiced honey and mexcal mix that was perfectly balanced. The locally sourced Crispy Suckling Pig with a mole sauce was particularly delicious with beautiful presentation. Greens grown at the building rooftop urban farm were sprinkled on the plate. The citrus pavlova dessert was good, a bit too sweet for me, but I contrasted it with a cup of espresso. Wichita! Who knew it was such a foodie place to visit? read more

I visit this place often and every time both the food and service are phenomenal. Chef Josh Rathbun is always coming up with creative takes on his dishes that are unique and a delightful combo of flavors. He also supports local farmers and makes me grateful to have such a gem of a local restaurant in Wichita. The staff - shoutout to Paige & Miguel are so so good. I'm grateful to say hi and share a few words with them every time I come. I've brought folks visiting from out of town and they've also shared how impressed they are with Lotte. Tonight we had the Trout, peach & tomato salad, a rye old fashioned, the pork dish, and agnolotti -- all were delightful, chefs kiss. read more

High end food but not high end prices. I have never had anything there that was not top notch.

The ambiance here is perfect for a date night. The service is top notch. I like how the menu changes a little. Food is delicious and so are the drinks! The appetizer I've enjoyed twice is the Tuna Crudo. Last night, I had the Sliders which were really good, too. I dined with a group of friends last night so I also got to taste the Korean Chicken Wings and Anchovy Toast. Both were tasty but the Tuna Crudo is the most memorable for me. For the main dish, I've had the Lamb Orecchiette before and that was tasty. The portion looks small but it was just the right amount to be full. Last night I had the Duck Breast and it was perfection! Hubs has had the Grilled Bavette Steak twice and enjoyed it both times. Our group shared three desserts: Carrot Cake, Horchata Tres Leche, and Pumpkin Basque Cheesecake. It was a tie between all three for which one was our favorite so you can't go wrong with either one! read more

This is one of THE best places to eat in Wichita, I go at least two times a month. My favorite is sitting at the chef's table and watching them prepare the meals. The chefs speak to you and give you little bites to try. I've tried almost every dish on the menu and everything is so good. The first two times I went I had the steak with pomme frites. It was really hard to make myself stop ordering that dish and try other things but I finally did and tried the suckling pig which tasted like crisp pulled pork and had faro and fennel which paired perfectly. Another time I tried the lamb orecchiette which may be my favorite, the feta cheese, the broccolini, the sauce and the lamb all go perfectly together. The scallops are so fresh and the crab agnolotti is bright and herby. The trout tastes like the perfect garden-fish pairing. They have a happy hour appetizer menu that isn't on the regular menu and my favorite dish is the tator tots. 5 tator tots with trout roe and the most delicious little dab of white sauce underneath. It sounds so small but it's perfect. I've also tried the chickpea panisse and the Korean sliders. When I've sat at the chef's table, I notice most people order the brioche for an appetizer which is brioche bread with jams. Super popular but I haven't tried it yet. Dessert js !! My favorite is the chocolate peanut butter parfait, it tastes like a pretzel/peanut brittle crust with peanut butter mousse topped with a spoonful of chocolate ganache. The lemon posset with crème brûlée on top has my heart with its delicate sugar crust and lemon custard. The matcha tres leches cake is a solid offering and tasty but it didn't blow my socks off in the way the other two did. The cheesecake is also good, but if you like peanuts even a little bit, try the parfait! Bartenders don't miss a beat either. I usually elect for a non-alcoholic cocktail and they have always have something new and tasty. The most delicious was a honey-fig concoction. Service is as you'd expect for a high-level restaurant like this. On point, well-executed, non-intrusive. Restaurant is located in downtown Wichita next to Grow and is a lovely space to relax and spend some time. Tables are spaced nicely so that conversations can be private but the space is not quiet. You can hear the chefs talking as well since they are out on the floor with the patrons. A wonderful experience and a great representation for Wichita's food scene. read more

Victoria was our server and super nice! My friend and I were a little disappointed with the noise level and had to almost shout at each other to have a conversation. Victoria talked us in to trying their feta dip which was beautifully served but the dip itself could have used another level of flavor. I tried the green curry trout with eggplant and it was superb. The only downfall was an area that still had bones in the fillet. Surprised and not a good one. My friend had the lamb orichetta (?) and it was delicious and well presented. All in all it was a good experience. We just wish that the interior had noise reduction decor. read more

Great food, drinks, and staff! Love going to Lotte. I'd recommend sitting at the counter.

My new husband and myself (with a few friends) came to Lotte for a late night dinner yesterday, our wedding day. The entire staff, from the kitchen, Chef, our server, every single person, was so amazing and excellent to us. The food was top notch as always, the new menu is exquisite and between us all we tried most of it. I don't know how the Chef's do what they do but, please don't stop doing it. This is by far, our #1 place to eat in Wichita. We will be loyal patrons for years to come! Also, to everyone that was at Lotte while we were that sent us bottles of wine, drinks, etc. I hope you see this someday, that was completely unexpected but very much appreciated and we will never forget your kindness to us on the biggest day of our lives! read more
