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.

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.

It has a very aesthetic, elevated feel. I ordered the burnt end flatbread, which had great flavor, but it could've used a little more time in the oven for a better crisp. The crème brûlée was a bit disappointing, as it didn't have that classic crunchy top that you expect. That being said, the espresso martini was one of the best I've had in a while definitely a highlight. Overall, the ambiance is a 10/10, the drinks are excellent, and the food was a bit hit or miss...

But I had yet to try the Parker in the hotel until my most recent visit and let me tell you, i've been sleeping on this place! We stopped in here for a quick bit before a concert and it was such a great idea! The service was wonderful! The bartenders were super friendly and fun to chat with. We just ordered two apps and a couple drinks but they all were amazing! I would love to come here again and get an entree as well as try other things. The restaurant is located pretty high up in the hotel so you also have a fun view. The vibes are just right giving a slightly elevated atmosphere. It wasn't busy at all so their was no wait which was nice since we were on a schedule! Overall, this is a great spot if you are staying at the Fontaine or in the area.

I love that this place has multiple different themes through out the year and gives fresh new menus in addition to their core menu. The only complaint that I have is that I feel like they need to hire more staff or just simply staff at least two bartenders. My friends and I visited on a Tuesday night and the poor girl was getting slammed. We unfortunately were only able to order one round of drinks cause she could not keep up- we ended up tabbing out and heading somewhere else. She was a great bartender and super nice- Just felt like she needed extra hands! Will definitely be back regardless!

Plush velvet, marble, a giant butterfly chandelier, lists upon lists of spirits. The whole thing is wildly opulent. Even the restaurant admits that no expense was spared creating the space. I ordered a Manhattan up, because I am incapable of ordering anything else. The bourbon selection is excellent, the cocktails are serious, the ambiance is everything, it feels so sophisticated. Whoever decorated this place... congratulations. You deserve an award.

Drinks were good. Service staff was rough…read more We had a reservation but there was no one to greet us. We looked around for a minute before a server noticed us and was like "uhhh we'll put you here at the end of the bar." Our bartender was fine but the other guy was doing all this flare and nonsense to get everyone's attention. He was the loudest person at the bar and inserted himself in our conversation twice. He clearly wanted attention which we found annoying and distracting. The drinks were good and the vibe was generally good. A nice eclectic mix of people. The DJ was great too! The service staff seemed very rough in both their interactions and their appearance. I hadn't been here in years, but I remember it being a far more refined and polished experience than what he had last night. Lastly, I don't think our $50 deposit was applied to our check. I forgot about it until this morning and didn't bring the receipt home. We each only had one drink and my total charge was $52. Not the end of the world but just another point in how they don't appear to be as on top of their service as I've previously experienced.

Even walking in, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The entrance is small, and you're greeted right away, which was a nice touch. Once inside, it's very dark with deep red lighting--almost like stepping into a cave. It took a moment for our eyes to adjust, but once they did, we immediately felt at ease. The space is cozy and perfectly aligned with its purpose: it's all about the jazz. The service was great--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without taking away from the music. And the music? Absolutely captivating. It pulls you in and transports you--you can't help but settle into the vibe and just enjoy the moment together. We went on a Monday, so there was plenty of seating, but I noticed there's also a lower level that likely accommodates larger weekend crowds. There's a solid drink menu and a small selection of food, but honestly, this isn't the place you come for a full meal. Come for the drinks, stay for the music, and soak in the atmosphere.

Prime Social is definitely one of the better spots in Kansas City for drinks, a cool atmosphere,…read moreand a beautiful view. I especially enjoyed Social Hour at the bar. They have a nice selection of cocktail and wine specials along with shareable bites, pizzas, oysters, sliders, and other small plates, which makes it a great place to stop in for drinks and something light without necessarily committing to a full dinner. The interior is beautiful and has a polished, upscale feel without being stuffy. Once you're upstairs, there's a cool crowd, great energy, and some really beautiful views of the city. The outdoor patio is another highlight and a great place to sit when the weather cooperates. The staff was wonderful. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The weirdest part is actually getting there. The entrance is through the lobby of an office building, and then you take the elevator up to the 16th floor. It feels a little odd the first time because you're wondering if you're even in the right place, but once the elevator doors open upstairs, it makes sense. Great drinks, beautiful space, good crowd, attentive service, and one of the nicer rooftop experiences in Kansas City. I'd definitely go back.

I have been sitting on this review because Prime Social used to be one of my favorite spots in…read moreKansas City. Sadly, the food quality has really declined, the portions have gotten smaller, and the overall experience just isn't what it used to be. My last visit was the final straw when a very intoxicated man at the bar repeatedly insisted on buying me a drink. I told the bartender I was uncomfortable and did not want him to buy me one, but the bartender went against my wishes. The man then wouldn't leave me alone and berated me, making comments about how "white women like me" are the reason the country is the way it is. He was also extremely racist and disrespectful toward the bartender. A server recognized the situation and offered to get a manager, which I appreciated. They then asked me, loudly and in front of this angry and intoxicated man, if I wanted him kicked out. This put me in a situation that felt unsafe. Putting a customer in that position was incredibly unprofessional, especially when I had already made it clear that I felt uncomfortable. The bartender even said, "It's OK, he's here all the time." The fact that the response was essentially that his behavior was okay because he was a regular made the situation even more disappointing. After years of genuinely loving this place, I'm disappointed to say that between the decline in food quality and how this situation was handled, I won't be returning.

Nestled inside the ultra-luxurious Raphael Hotel, this upscale Restaurant/jazz club had our group feeling like we were heading to a high-society adult prom. The ambiance practically demands a raised eyebrow and a sophisticated toast. Naturally, the libations were flowing. On one end of the table sat a chocolate martini so decadent it looked borderline sinful. On the polar opposite end of the spectrum, I ordered an extra-dirty Chopin martini, complete with blue-cheese-stuffed olives. Look, it didn't reinvent the wheel, but it was executed exactly the way I'd make it at home--assuming I could ever actually find a bottle of Chopin in any of our local liquor establishments. (Seriously, who is hoarding it?) We kicked things off with the gourmet bread basket. Do yourself a favor and cough up the extra $5 for the super soft bread and whipped butter; your tastebuds will thank you for not being cheap. For my starter, I opted for the she-crab soup, which presented itself as a spectacularly rich crab bisque. Word on the street is that she-crab Is vastly superior to he-crab. This is a PG-rated review, so I shall leave the mechanics to your imagination. Then came the piece de résistance: the 12-ounce ribeye, flanked by asparagus spears and Delmonico potatoes. This sucker was thick. When I asked our waitress for a proper steak knife, she politely pointed to my standard-issue butter knife and confidently declared, "That's it!" I thought she was joking. She wasn't. Melt-in-your-mouth is an understatement; this medium-rare masterpiece yielded to a butter knife like it was soft brie. The sides were equally stellar. The Delmonico potatoes were a beautifully elevated, elite version of scalloped potatoes, and the asparagus was snappy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The evening's only tragic misstep was the cheesecake. It, too, was incredibly thick--but in all the wrong ways. While fortunately not overbaked, the texture resembled a very well-flavored, highly gourmet paste. To add insult to injury, the graham cracker crust had completely surrendered its structural integrity, offering none of the classic crunch I crave. Minor dessert tragedy aside, it was a phenomenal evening. The service was impeccable, the vibe was unmatched, and that steak alone warrants a return visit. Next time, I'll just be exploring a different corner of the dessert menu.

I frequent KC a few times a year and have had Fidel's on my list of cigar spots to visit. This time I had the chance and I'm so glad I didn't. Nestled in the heart of the eclectic West Port neighborhood is this funky little cigar joint that has a very good selection of sticks, a quaint lounge and best of all just good folks running the shop and chill peeps enjoying. Jason was the man in charge of the evening and he made the experience just that much more memorable. Well versed in tobacco we vibed and he highly recommended I try a Sans Pareil cigar...I'm embarrassed to say I had not heard of this brand, but I'm happy to have been introduced to it. I chose the Red which is a torpedo with an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper and Dominican filler and binder. I'll fast forward to say, from my pic you'll see I smoked it to the nub and nearly burned my fingers - yes, it was that good. Once well lit with a house complimentary cedar stick it burned evenly throughout and held a great ash. Just a very well made cigar. On item of note - it's BYOB! No corking fee. So, one tip - walk over to the local Sun Fresh market, which is a mere two blocks away, and is well stocked with beer, wine, and a decent selection of liquor. That's right, inside the supermarket you'll find the necessary goodies to complement your stick. Then just make your way back and enjoy your time at Fidel's. I'll be back soon Fidel's!
