I'm so, so glad we came across this place when we were in Kansas City visiting family for holidays and a Chiefs game - what a gem! It's a cozy spot with a wonderful staff who make you feel welcomed without being too aggressive, provide great suggestions, and ensure that you are taken care of from start to finish. We ended up getting the Room 39 Burger and Goat Cheese Gnocchi, both of which were fantastic! The burger was juicy, cooked perfectly, and tasted delicious! That gnocchi, though, was some of the best I've tasted - absolutely perfect! We also got an affogato at the end, which you really can't mess up but was a solid top off to a great dining experience. Go here now. Reasonably priced, great experience, and excellent food! read more

Had dinner here on a Friday evening. It was packed but that didn't affect the excellent and timely service. The food was delicious and pricey, you're paying for obvious quality. It's a small joint with tables in close proximity but, on the bright side, if your neighbors are having a juicy conversation, you'll have no problem listening in. Highly recommend. read more

I was in KCMO for the day. After my appointment I made my way downtown for a pre-planned late afternoon lunch at Room 39. By the time I arrived, I was shaking from hunger and low blood sugar. I mended myself with the Salmon Bowl from the Lunch Menu, as well as great conversation with the staff and another customer who was also sat at the bar. It's a truly homey place in which the vibe is casual but the food exceeds expectations. Everything is scratch made and the menu evolves with the seasonal farm-to-table offerings. Chef Habiger does not stop at regional, seasonal offerings, but also incorporates the best of high-end ingredients such as Rohan Duck raised in upstate New York and Wester Ross Scottish Salmon (IYKYK), the latter of which was the star of my lunch. I want to go back, and feel certain I would be a regular if I lived in the area. I highly recommend you visit when next in KCMO! read more

We absolutely adored this resturant. We found it from CSR's list of OpenTable restaurants. But if we were locals, we'd absolutely be here often. The food tasted so fresh and delicious and the staff was friendly. It felt like home. read more

We had brunch here on a Saturday morning. I highly recommend making reservations. Our server was wonderful and was great about checking in. The tables were all very close together making things a bit cozy. I had the quiche of the day. I would not recommend this or get it again. The quiche was very dry and had no flavor. If we go back, I will try something different. read more

Great menu and atmosphere! This was my second time here and I'll be coming back again for sure. Highly recommend the gnocchi, steak au poivre, and egg plant fries. I'm normally a meat & potatoes type person, but I think their gnocchi is absolutely amazing. Came here for a birthday, and they ensure to make it an occasion with exceptional service and special treats. They also have regular sales and specials. I would've taken more photos......but that thought was lost once the food was sat on the table. read more

Finally made my way here. What a cozy but airy place. Staff was attentive and friendly. Good was good. I had the chorizo burrito and a vanilla Italian soda (very delicious). Excuse the. Lack of photos. We sat down, chatted, and ate before I remembered to snap. You can eat breakfast or lunch all day....well until 3 PM. I will be back. read more

We met our friends here for dinner. They are 30+ year residents and live by the Plaza. They had never heard of Room 39, which been in my Yelp bookmarks for over a year. We were going to a show at MTH and decided to meet here for dinner beforehand. We snagged at 5 PM reservation a few days before and were greeted warmly on a hot summer afternoon by the host. Our server was Alex and she was magnificent beyond words. Her service and insight were magical. With the deft touch, she guided us through the menu and answered all of our questions. We will most certainly ask for Alex when we return. You may wish to do the same. You will not be disappointed. We had some delicious appetizers, including their tasty crabcakes, and the Room 39 salad was nice. Very fresh ingredients and not swimming and dressing. My wife had the steak au poivre, which I got a few bites of and it was delicious! I had the gnocchi with pesto cream sauce, which was divine. One of our friends enjoyed the pasta carbonara very much, and her husband loved the halibut. They shared crème brûlée for dessert and we had the chocolate mousse. All four of us loved our desserts. We recognize that Room 39 is on par with some of the finest restaurants in Kansas City. It's a smaller venue, but their service is impeccable and so is the food. It's a farm to table restaurant so the menu rotates and changes with the seasons and availability of ingredients. I love that! We will most certainly return. read more

Loved this place! We decided to try Room 39 based on other reviews we read. It was well worth it. The atmosphere is romantic but relaxing. My wife loved the table settings. The service was very good. Very friendly and attentive. We both had the filet with scalloped potatoes and brussel sprouts. The steak was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The scalloped potatoes were the best I've ever had. I can't believe it took us so long to try this place, but it won't be the last. read more

Dining in this local spot which was popping. Started off good with our order taking promptly. My mimosa landed shortly thereafter and it was delicious. We waited patiently before noticing another table whom arrived after us getting served first with same entrees. Then ours came out : avocado toast & fruit cup and crab Benedict with side of potatoes - lukewarm. The toast was grilled a bit too long where it was tough and burned around the edges. My order was incorrect as I asked for over medium eggs vs poached. The waiters were all apologetic and offered new eggs and toast but we declined. It was already a long wait. Prevalent in my dish was panko breading of the crab cakes. The potatoes had a grill taste not much flavor either. We were grateful for the offering to correct things, comping the avocado toast and OJ upon getting our bill. read more

Can't go wrong! Top notch food, service, prices and ambiance every time. Consistently good and their breakfast potatoes are the best in the city, IMO. read more

We were looking for somewhere different for brunch. Not the hotel or a chain. Somewhere in a neighborhood with a great vibe...we found it at Room 39. My daughter and I enjoyed lattes, oh my goodness good mimosas, and incredible salmon scramble (sod, delicate, with crispy potatoes) and a salmon salad (crispy skin, local cheese, quinoa.) Our server Maggie made it the funnest experience...she is just lovely. read more

While this meal may look promising, the meat quiche was a bit of a disappointment. Everything from the texture, flavor, and crust of this quiche was mid and not something I would order again. The service was super welcoming and attentive - perhaps this item was just a bit of a flop. read more

Came in on a slow Monday night and had exceptional service and food! I can't believe we haven't been here before! We ordered the brussel sorout toast and it was so yummy. The flavors went really well together. I stepped out of the box and got the Chorizo Crusted Cod and it did not disappoint! My husband got the steak (sirloin maybe? I have no idea lol) and it was cooked to his preference which is always important to us. The dessert was fun and funky. Only disappointment was the menu being a little different than the one online so I wasn't able to get something that sounded really good, but that didn't ruin anything and we just opted for something else! The price was very fair for the quality of food and service we received. read more

Phenomenal. Everything we ordered was delicious, the service was quick and friendly. We started with the tempura app and the crab cakes - both were savory, delicious, and texturally amazing. For entrees we got the pasta Bolognese (pasta tasted homemade, it was the perfect comfort food) and the halibut on crispy rice. My partner said it was some of the best fish he'd ever had. The bite I had was seasoned to perfection. Our dessert was also wonderful, we went with the creme brulee and berries and a white chocolate basil cremaux. The second dessert was highly recommended by our server and she was right. It was a wonderfully confusing mix of flavors, almost like a creamy dessert pesto but rich, sweet and bright. read more

Intimate bistro with seasonal menu and great service. It's one of my favorite places on 39th street. Known for great brunch, too.

Bartender took 20 min to get our brunch cocktails because he was texting. Food was decent but toast was burnt.

Food was fabulous Great small bistro right on 39th Server recommended the chicken livers and he was right Wonderful neighborhood gem!!! read more

Room 39 - Chicken livers - New American Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Small, romantic restaurant just east of Jimmy's Jigger on 39th. We had the mushroom gnocchi which was excellent. My wife had their crab cakes which were light, fluffy and delicious. Not much choice on wine list (bottles) on lower end price wise. But did fine a Turley red zin at $80 that was amazing. One of the best zins I have had recently and complimented the gnocchi perfectly. Make sure to have reservations as they have maybe 20 tables and small waiting area with no seating! Service was very good as well. We will be going back. Wonderful dining experience!! read more

Used to love coming here. Stopped in for a drink on a Saturday night. You'll get more attention and kindness apparently if you work here. Otherwise, I recommend going to...well, anywhere else! read more

Have always loved Room39 ...it's quaint... it's personal and the staff really like to make you feel they want to you to have an enjoyable dining experience. In the area today for lunch, introduced a friend, who recently moved to our wonderful city, to this restaurant!! Really love that the menu changes frequently and there's always something new to try....Wow!! you did not let me down to impress my friend!!! She had the crabcakes which were absolutely wonderful. I had the chicken livers, cooked in a way I have never had them before, but absolutely delicious! perfect...tender.... and in an amazing sauce. I'm always so impressed with the service but today we really felt like the server wanted to create the best atmosphere for us and the chef even came out to make sure that my chicken livers tasted great. If you're near 39th & ku med center... this is a fabulous place to enjoy a little something maybe you don't get every day but you will not regret trying! read more

I landed on Room 39 for brunch with out of town friends after reading several positive reviews on Yelp! Unfortunately, I didn't have the same experience of others. It took longer than I think it should have to be seated (I had a reservation). Once I was seated, it took the waitress several minutes to come to the table. My friends and I ordered our food, and it came out in a timely manner. I ordered the smoked salmon scramble with the breakfast potatoes. The scramble was alright, but nothing special. And the potatoes were bland, with no seasoning. My friends had the same experience, with none of us being wowed by our selections and agreeing that we were all missing flavor. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, with kind staff. read more

My boyfriend was raving about this place and I kept my expectations at a reasonable level. But there was a reason why he raved about this place, this croque madame was one of the best I had! Coming from NY, the $14 price point blew my mind. You just don't find that here. The potatoes, if your dish doesn't have potatoes make sure to order the side! They were so crispy and reminded me of my favorite brunch spot in plow. This croque madame delivered! Generous portion of turkey and on it and the melted cheese with the buttered toast, perfection. I think every time I am in KC, I would need to go here! read more

I think I ordered the wrong thing. I got the blended burger, which was suppose to be a mushroom, beet, and beef patty. It was just beef and it was over cooked.

Gosh it makes me sad to update my review. I was back after a year and absolutely craving my Room 39 biscuits and gravy. How sad of day it was. I drove 20 minutes from where I was staying during the only open time I had on my quick visit to the KC area. It was a Saturday and they were pretty full. Service was not as friendly or as attentive as it had been in the past. I didn't get a drink menu (or maybe they no longer have one? But, I did see others with iced coffee drinks which were not on the menu). I ordered biscuits and gravy and bacon. Unfortunately the gravy was actually room temperature and in some places cold. This is so disappointing because it has always been so good. Do they reheat it in a microwave? It was also very runny, nearly water consistency. Biscuits were fine, but room temperature. Bacon was HARD and also room temperature. My happy place became my depression palace. The food TASTED good, so I ate it. The waiter didn't return until I finished my meal and he kindly took $5 off my bill. Hopefully this is an off occurrence but I can't tell you how disappointed I was after making such an effort to eat here. read more

Special occasion or just a nice meal out, a bit pricey, but the food is always fresh, seasonal, and impeccably prepared and presented. Make sure you get a reservation as the place is small.

I picked this restaurant based on reviews and intuition for a meeting with 2 friends I hadn't seen in far too long. What a perfect setting and brilliant meal we had. Turns out that our hostess/waitress and one of my friends knew each other which set the tone for a warm, friendly, happy meal. The service was impeccible; quick but not intrusive. And the food was utterly delicious. The crabcakes were amazing, the fries addictive and our entries wonderful. My first visit but certainly not my last. read more

The service and atmosphere were both very friendly and vibrant. Andrew made me feel right at home, and I was able to make a few trips here before I needed to fly back out. The food was superb. The duck in particular was rich and flavorful, and paired well with the crispy arborio rice and amarena mostarda. Definitely recommend getting that or the gnocchi if you visit. read more

Super delicious. A quaint, intimate setting with some really good comfort dishes. Make sure you make a RSVP, it gets busy. Service, for a full house, was good. Slightly slower, but there wasn't an available table at all. Opted for their wild bass and quinoa, which was zesty, flavorful, but sadly... really small portioned for $18. It was probably less than a 3oz fish portion with 1/3 cup of quinoa--when I got home I actually had to feed myself again. I'll definitely come back to try other items. If all entrees are as small as this, likely several dishes to share might be a better option for my belly. read more

First off, surprisingly lots of good options for vegetarians. The service was really good. The waiter was very patient as we had a group meet face to face for the first time and had lots of catching up to do. They had great selection of wines and drinks on top of variety on their menu. I enjoyed the food. The setting is a bit rustic and could feel cramped at times but not too bad. Only downside was that I felt it was a bit overpriced as we ended up spending $400 for 4 people. Even with drinks, apps, and entrees, $100 per person is definitely high for this place. Other than that it was pretty fun evening. read more

The ambience was amazing the attention to details in the restaurant were quite special. We went on a Monday night so it wasn't crowded at all. The staff was so friendly and personable.

Came here for my birthday dinner! It's a cute small place. No parking though so find some street parking! Haha. Rather small inside but it's farm fresh food so it's really good. The menu was super cool, looks like they change them out daily because they had todays date on the top! The mushroom soup was amazing. I got the garlic shrimp . The shrimps were huge and juicy. Yum. There was plenty. I was stuffed by the end of it. Lol the flavors were great too! We got three different desserts lol. The lemon one was the best! And I'm not normally a lemon fan haha. But it was amazing. But all of them really did taste fantastic. We also got the crème brûlée and the bread pudding I believe... they even put a cute little birthday candle on it. Teehee. Super nice place. Rather expensive though! But overall great night for a fancy dinner! read more
