I've been wanting to experience this for at least a year or two and I finally did! I loved it. I just wish the Igloo reservation was longer is all. I understand the time limit though. You get two hours in the Igloo, with complimentary hot cocoa and delicious cookies. It's super cute! I went with the girls but this is definitely date night worthy. You can order food and drinks also. I ordered the Birria Bites, Pomme Frites and Snickerdoodle Martini. My friends ordered the Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings, Pomme Frites and the Lemon Thyme Soda Mocktail. The Birria Bites were a 6/10. The Snickerdoodle Martini 10/10. My friends thought the chicken wings were about a 5/10. They liked their mocktail. We all agreed the Pomme Frites were good. 8/10. Cookies were a 10/10. The overall experience itself is a definite 10/10 recommend! I'd do it again. read more

Had an amazing time. An igloo bar on top of a hotel roof. Staff was super nice and friendly and even joined in a round of Jenga. They had their valentines menu so I tried the pretty in pink pick me up which was a creamy strawberry flavored drink that was tasty, so wish there was a little more strawberry, and sparkling pink coffee beans. The palm and oak wasn't strong and was sweet tasting. Also tried the sailors delight which is a warm apple cider flavored drink which was amazing, especially for cold weather. 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. read more

To be clear - this is a review of the bar &also restaurant. Bar: We stayed in the hotel, so we wanted to enjoy the bar. It was Black Friday. We sat down waited way too long to even be noticed. Tried signature drinks Pom & Oak and snickerdoodle martini. They were pretty sweet & not strong. We ordered a creme brulee, which was served cold & came with 2 spoons that my husband called 'snow shovels' as they were about 50% of the dessert plate. It was a nice brûlée, just wish it wasn't so chilled. Overall, just okay for us. 3 stars on food &drinks but service was just so lacking that it loses a star. Restaurant: Service was not good here. We arrived at 10 with reservation, watched everyone after us get attention. 10 minutes before waiter 'saw' us. I got a mimosa, husband ordered cappuccino. I sipped slowly but he didn't get his drink for 20 more minutes. Plus I guess a printer in kitchen broke down so everyone was waiting on food. we didn't get food until 11:10, then felt like they were pushing us out as they close at 11. So sorry! So just like the bar- the food was okay, but service dropped another star. We canceled day 2 breakfast there, just not worth our time to get ignored. Also having loud small children in the small dining area was just annoying after a while. (I tried to stay patient, truly) read more

This experience was one of a kind on a roof top inside an igloo. The concept is luxury with seats, blankets and even a heater. It is great for a group of friends or date night. Food is finger food mostly and drinks can be serve hot or cold. We had a two hours reservation and it just flew by easier when you're having fun. read more

I snagged a reservation for Nine Zero One just in time for KC Restaurant Week, and I'm so glad I did. They offered a $55 three-course meal, and while cocktails weren't included, I didn't mind. To start, I went with Gingy's Spiked Hot Chocolate. This place is NOT shy with their liquor pours--it was strong, but the vodka worked so well with the gingerbread and hot chocolate flavors. My partner got the Apple Spice and Everything Nice, and it was delicious--like a perfect spiced apple cider! For the first course, I had the crab cake. It was good but nothing mind-blowing. The saffron aioli was a little sweet for my taste; I think a more neutral aioli would've worked better, but overall, no major complaints. My partner had the fried Brussels sprouts, which tasted exactly like you'd expect--crispy and flavorful. For my main course, I went with the salmon. The butternut squash risotto? Absolutely amazing--easily the highlight of the dish. The salmon was cooked fine, but the pesto cream sauce didn't necessarily taste like pesto. Honestly, I think it would've been better paired with steak. Speaking of steak, my partner ordered the Surf & Turf, which was solid. He asked for medium, but it came out closer to medium-well--not a big deal for us, but worth mentioning. Dessert was crème brûlée and flourless chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was a little too rich for me, but the crème brûlée hit the spot. Overall, the cocktails and the butternut squash risotto were the real standouts for me. I'd definitely come back just for those two things! Great experience overall, and I'd recommend checking it out especially if you're staying at The Fontaine. read more

We had an amazing time in our igloo at Nine Zero One! Our two hours captured both an amazing sunset from the rooftop as well as the festive lights as the sky went dark. Once inside, we were greeted with hot chocolate and cookies, a warm heater, and a sound system that we could play our own music to. We did have some issues with the music and power and lost about 30 minutes of our time while they fixed it but in the end, all was well. The igloos are soundproof and cozy for up to eight people. There is a bar menu which we ordered additional drinks and snacks from during our time. The drinks were festive and the snacks were yummy. All in all, the experience was so much fun and a highlight for our family! read more

We love love love Nine Zero One! I've now been several different times and each time the service was lovely with the nicest staff and a really beautiful space both inside and out. If I didn't know better, I'd never consider it a hotel restaurant/bar. It's really it's own thing with a sweet little view of Brush Creek and several different options for where you can dine or drink. We've done the igloos and despite some technical difficulties in there, we had a blast and it was worth it. I've had several of their dishes with some of the standouts being the salmon and the CRAB RANGOON NACHOS!!! The drinks are good albeit a little too sweet on some of the cocktails, but they all get the job done. Will return! read more

My husband and I came here with a reservation during KC restaurant week. We were seated 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us and another 20 minutes before we had a drink. We were checked on so infrequently that we didn't have the opportunity to order a second drink even though we were there an hour and a half. When we paid our bill, our server had to ask whether we got our dessert because she was unaware- we had already eaten it and it had been cleared. The restaurant was not particularly busy- there were several open tables. I typically try to give servers the benefit of the doubt as I've been a server before, but this was pretty rough and no one acknowledged that we were waiting or apologized. The food was overall average. Would not recommend. read more

The vibe was nice however our igloo was not as warm as my friends although we had 7 people. The food was good but loop warm as well as the hot chocolate. Nice vibe ! read more

Nine Zero One Was A Conflicting Experience For Me. The Hotel And Bar Were Luxurious And Upscale. The Servers And Hostess Were So Kind! The Drinks Were AMAZING! I Had The Snickerdoodle Martini And It Was Delicious. We Also Ordered A Steak Flat Bread Which Was Pretty Good. The Rest Of The Food However Was Disappointing. I Went With A Small Group Of Two Other Ladies. One Of My Friends Ordered The Steak Done Medium That Was Unfortunately Undercooked And Unable To Be Cut And The Other Had Underdone Chicken. I Ordered A Honey Badger Sandwich That Was Supposed To Have Hot Honey Sauce However, It Tasted More Like Barbecue Sauce. I Wanted To Love Nine Zero One As The Service And Drinks Were Amazing! However, I Would Unfortunately Not Return For The Food Especially Since The Pricing Is Upscale For A Not So Upscale Experience. read more

Nice idea but needs better execution! You sit in a plastic igloo tent that you can't really see out of (thought we'd be able to see Plaza lights). We sat on folding chairs with cold "hot" chocolate and not so fresh cookies. There's a space heater and you can connect your phone to Bluetooth for your own music but still have to hear the music from the bar blaring over your own music. The server was wonderful and did a great job but the whole experience was way too pricey! read more

Got the chance to check Nine Zero One with a grouo of my friends. We had a great time, sipping on some cocktails and trying out some of the appetizers there were to offer. This spot is located on the top of the Fontaine hotel service was super quick and friendly. I would recommend making a reservation prior to arrival. They do have an outside bar and spice you can reserve I tried out the espresso, martini and a sangria, both were great. I would recommend parking in the parking garage and getting it validated inside. The pool area is great for summer and in the winter I highly recommend checking out the igloo bar. This space provides great views of the plaza area and there is a beautiful bar space and fireplace inside. I highly recommend this place for a girls day or date. There is a huge selection of snacks, appetizers, larger plates, cocktails, beer, and wine for guests to choose from and enjoy. read more

This bar is very comfy, the furniture was made for socializing and looking over the plaza.

Don't forget your watch!! Igloos are timed so just be ready to experience and embrace the adventure! My family really enjoyed the experience and were quite surprised at how quickly we could acclimate to the experience of being on the snowy rooftop It's not about the food, it's about the experience! So, we planned our visit after a nice dinner at Savoy. The rooftop Igloo was basically "the icing" on the Christmastime evening filled with bubbles and treats read more

Nine Zero One Igloo Bar is a pop up experience located on The Fontaine's 7th story rooftop from late Nov to early March. You must have a reservation for the private igloos. Igloo reservations are $132 (after fees) for 6 people ($22/person) for 90 minutes. There are 4 igloos total with 3 time slots available: 4:30pm (sunset), 6:45pm, and 8:30pm. Our reservation was at 8:30pm - which meant that, because of the city's current 10pm curfew, our last call was one hour in (at 9:30pm) and we had to be out by 9:57pm. We managed to fit in three rounds with the last drink arriving 5 minutes before we were asked to leave. For drinks, the guys liked The Banana Stand and the ladies enjoyed the Pas De Deux Cranberry cocktail. Overall, we had a great (safe) night. Staff followed all COVID precautions. We loved all of the photo ops, our clean, cozy igloo and the ability to control your own heat and music volume. If you don't have a reservation (or don't want to pay for it) but want to get a peak at this exclusive winter wonderland, you can still get a free seat in the "Ice Tundra" bar/lounge area. COVID Precautions: - 30% space capacity. - Two household limit per Igloo/table. - Igloos are professionally fogged and wiped down to sanitize between each rental. - Private elevator to the 7th floor. - Names collected for contract tracing. - Extra masks and cleaning supplies on hand. read more

This is such a fun and welcoming environment! They do an amazing job decorating for the holidays! Best to go with a full party (6-8 people whichever is allowed) to help with the cost. The servers were all so kind, and they even had a grinch who added to the holiday spirits. Cocktail choices were tasty and the apps (I had the steak flatbread) were delicious! read more

Reservations are recommended, however we walked up with a party of three and were seated fairly quickly. Unfortunately, nobody came to greet us or take our order. After about twenty minutes we got up and left. The hostesses were apologetic when I let them know what happened, which was nice, but it was too little too late. This looks like a fun place. I will never know. Please visit at your own risk. read more

We came for their Father's Day special menu they promoted on social media and had a party of six with reservations. So let me say the two good things first. We loved the size of the table (my wife's comment) and the view. Now to our experience. I can only assume all their staff called in sick or didn't show up because after promoting something on social I would have expected them to be prepared but they were not! When we arrived we were promptly sat but waited 20 minutes to get the special occasion menus. Then an hour after ordering we went looking for some staff to see where our appetizer, soup and salad was. A manager who looked as if she just rolled out of bed came to apologize for the wait and explained the delay was due to the fact all the steaks needed to be prepared differently and shared she was going to the kitchen to help plate our appetizer and salad but before leaving the table shared the soup we ordered an hour ago was out. It was apparent they hadn't done anything for the first hour we were there or maybe the chef just didn't show up? I failed to mention there was only one other party in the entire restaurant. Ten minutes later our appetizer, salad and soup were delivered, soup was not what they said it was, salad had the wrong dressing, the Brie appetizer was accurate. Three minutes later all our meals were delivered, all the steaks were overcooked (all were ordered medium and medium-rare but came out super well done). The chicken and salmon were both over cooked and dry. The seafood risotto was pretty good with the exception of the salmon on it. The lump crab meat on the steak was surprisingly good given how colossally bad everything else was. We took all the steaks home in hopes the dog would eat them. Most expensive meal the dog has ever had! A super disappointing experience from start to finish. read more

$140 charge for 90 minutes and the charge doesn't go towards drinks. I was fine with the charge, we had 8 people. I wish there were more comfy seating- there was a couch and several single seats around the igloo. One ticket for the whole bill, again, not uncommon. We had the artisanal plate- which wasn't too impressive, the steak flatbread was fine. The fries were good with their house aioli. They were perfectly crispy! The food menu is honestly pretty small- which they say it's because the table space is limited. Our server was alright, everything felt extremely rushed! On one hand I get it, there's reservations after however being rushed to order after waiting for service isn't my favorite experience. The bar was backed up and had a long wait for our first round. We ordered our second round before we even got our first round. Overall we just felt extremely rushed and I don't think I'd do it again. read more

I'd been looking forward to this for weeks, as we had friends in from out of town. We had a FABULOUS experience at Nine Zero One Igloo Bar! I apparently messed up our reservation online - it was supposed to be in an igloo, but it was made in the dining room. The hostess was able to accommodate us in The Grinch-themed igloo within 10 minutes, though, and it was awesome! She warned service might be slow because servers were short-staffed and there were several large parties, but our server Travis was incredible and the drinks and food came quickly. Igloo was cozy - not cold - and the themed cocktails were very well-crafted. Flatbread were tasty and hit the spot. Overall, it is a very unique and positive experience - we will do it again! read more

These negative reviews have no business being here. We showed up at 8:30 for our reservation on Friday night, and were immediately seated in our igloo. After sitting down, our waitress, Helen, greeted us within 5 minutes. Although the bar was backed up, we were pleased to see our drinks and food show up quickly. The igloo was very clean and pleasantly warm! It was very homey and even had blankets if you wanted some extra warmth. The fee to reserve an igloo is rather expensive but once split among a group of 6, it was not outrageous for a fun night out! Highly recommend checking out this place before the igloos go away! read more

Average food. Nothing remarkable. Sub-par service for lunch. Went for restaurant week and won't be returning.

Nine One Zero equals 9 experience expected 1 experience received 0 experience recommended Our party of three arrived Dec 9, 2022 5:10P for our 5:15P rsvp made Nov 7. One of our party had traveled from Atlanta to take in the opulence of the Christmas Plaza experience. We were not greeted by the hostess. We greeted her. We were led into the back portion of the restaurant. There were very few guests in the area. We were led be seated at absolutely worst table in that area. Prior to being seated at that specific table; we spotted several tables closer to the windows. We asked for better seating. We were told the seating was previously reserved. We were promptly greeted by our server asking for our drink orders never provided her name. Our waitress never once mentioned the Happy Hour drink specials. We had ordered one brand specific beer on the drink menu.(they were out of two different ones) We ordered 1 mocktail and 1 specialty drink. The waitress made a comment that the specialty drink was really pretty. It was called Christmas Ornament. The presentation was flatter than notebook paper the taste was gratifyingly perfect. The mocktail was refreshing. As another waiter passed by we inquired if there was a Happy Hour menu/specials he said they didn't have anymore printed but there were $2 off specialty drinks and 50% off classic cocktails. Nothing was ever mentioned by our server. We ordered appetizers and decided we would order entrees. Our server attempted to take our menus prior to our ordering the entree. We advised we would like to order an entree to be brought out once we were done with our starters. She looked stunned!? Well there was approx 20-25 minutes between the time we were done with spinach dip and shrimp toast. Appetizers were beautiful and delicious! Entrees were extremely disappointing and flat. Cauliflower steak hard to cut. Flavorless. Hamburger ok Blackened chicken sandwich uneventful. After check and tip we found out our pathetic waitress was Anand (Diana spelled backward)[ Not one in our party opted to revisit this establishment except to take pictures- the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing to all the senses. I definitely do NOT recommend for dining! read more

Sadly, this is absolutely not worth your money nor your time. The igloo was freezing cold and every time the server unzipped the door what little heat that was inside escaped. The igloo plastic fogged up so you couldn't even see outside. And there was no view to speak of anyway. The entrance to the bar smelled like sewer gas. Many of the signature drinks were out of the described liquors and garnishes. They were out of several beers offered on the menu. Service was very slow. The food was marginal. Just No. read more

Be prepared to be disappointed. Don't expect any sort of contact from this establishment when you reach out either. I've messaged them 3 times on their website AND sent a follow up email asking for someone to contact me and I haven't heard a word from them. Which is like giving me the middle finger, in my opinion. I work in customer service and I know what it's like to receive a bad survey or poor review without any knowledge beforehand, so I wanted to give them the opportunity to discuss this matter before leaving reviews on all platforms but they've left me with no other option at this point. I booked reservations for a group of 4 on Friday 12/3 at 845pm for my birthday celebration. We arrived 10 minutes early and were advised by the hostess that they were running behind. No problem. We were taken to our reserved igloo close to 9pm. However the server did not come back to take our drink order until 9:25pm. After ordering, it took quite a bit of time to receive our drinks. When our server brought our drinks we specifically asked about the 90 minute reservation as we were unsure when the 90 minutes started since we were sat late and it took so long to get our drinks. She seemed unsure of how this worked and indicated there wasn't a set end time. Then our server only checked on us one additional time at which we requested to order a second drink. Again, this took quite a long time to receive these drinks and then they forgot one of the drinks. At 10:30pm, a different woman came to our igloo and said "I have to kick you out", even though we had just received our second round of drinks. When our server initially took our drink order, she stated that they were short staffed that night. While I understand that this is not our server's fault, this is completely unacceptable. I consider myself a reasonable and understanding person and I fully understand the challenges businesses, including my own, are facing right now. However, you should not offer reservations if you cannot staff for it appropriately. On top of that, we are paying a hefty price for a service. If you cannot deliver the service, then you should not be charging for this. When I say "hefty fee", I paid $150 for a reservation only fee for four adults. This money does not go towards your tab, which I was aware of when booking. The woman that told us she was kicking us out was extremely rude and we were taken aback by her lack of professionalism. I want to make clear that I fully understood when booking that there was a 90 minute reservation time, however, there were far more appropriate ways she could've handled the situation. For example, she could've come to our igloo 10 minutes prior and advised that we were approaching the 90 minute reservation. She could've asked us if there was anything else we needed as our reservation was ending. We are educated and considerate individuals and would've understood that it was time to leave. Again, this is why we specifically asked for details regarding the time earlier but we were not given a direct answer. I've since shared this experience with other friends, family, and co-workers and those that have been here all had a similar experience. If this is on your KC Christmas bucket list, either lower your expectations or take your money to one of the other 10 pop up bars. read more

Got the 14 oz steak for $44. Really disappointing. Can get the same thing at Applebees for probably about $18. Was chewy and sad.

My girlfriends and I were very disappointed in the experience - we arrived right on time since the site tells you they'll give your res away if you're 10 mins late. Then had to wait 35 minutes past our res time to be seated at our igloo (they said just had to 'clean it up'). Watched about 5 parties get seated in their igloos ahead of us. Ok, fine; we weren't privy to the seating approach. But when we got in, it smelled a little like... vomit? I wish I was kidding. Super cute interior though, with cozy blankets and fireplace. Wouldn't be that comfortable for more than 4 people. But yeah, we weren't sure if the delay was bc they literally seated us in an igloo someone had thrown up in. Very unfortunate. Food was underwhelming, we got burrata (good), crispy shrimp (pretty good) and lobster rolls (not good - odd flavor). S'mores for dessert were very dry. Service was fine, they seem a little scrambled with we assumed was from the industry-wide staffing challenges, so I don't want to ding them for that. But they did overcharge us by 5 (!) pumpkin martinis (our bill said we had 9 total - lol) on our final bill, we asked to have it corrected, then still overcharged us by 1 again. Also, their 'well' cocktails will not be 'well' - my tequila with lime was still $15, more than some of their speciality cocktails. Not one to leave reviews often. But a very disappointing experience given we each paid $50 a person *just* to be in there. Would not recommend; maybe check out the other igloo offering in town instead. read more

We recently checked out the igloos at nine zero one and had a really great time! We got the tent since we had around 15 people and it was perfectly set up-there was a lot of decor, heaters, hot chocolate, a Bluetooth speaker, and games. There was plenty of room and the service was pretty good as they came to the tent. Prices were a little expensive, but about what you'd expect at a place like this (~$15/cocktail). We had a lot of fun and would do it again, but it's definitely a place to go at least once to experience it! The drinks were also delicious! read more

Let me preface this by saying that I was SO excited to have something "Covid-safe" to do for my boyfriends' birthday weekend. The igloo we got was not styled the same as the igloo in the marketing on FB or Instagram. There was no couch in the igloo, only slightly uncomfortable wicker type chairs. After we arrived and looked at the menu (which is not available to view anywhere online) our waitress asked "so what do you want?". We ordered drinks. Had to flag her down to place a food order. Food was cold...and atrocious. I feel like I wasted $120 for my boyfriend and our friends to have a worse time than we would have at home. read more

The igloos were flimsy plastic and it was very noisy. And the worst part you had to pay in advance non-refundable.

On Oct 1st I purchased a $300 experience reservation at Nine Zero One rooftop for December 13th that was non-refundable, I was called 3 days ago that my $300 was being refunded and the 7th floor was not available after 4 pm. Not hardly the way to do business. I hated canceling my 10 guests but also feel terrible for all of the other reservations canceled. Imagine if you were entertaining clients or had out of town guests. I guess money talks, but be careful booking there. You could get canceled. read more
