Our waiter instantly greeted us to fill our waters gave us some time to decide on our cocktails. We enjoyed some starters and shared the duck empanadas and the fries. Both were so delicious but the empanadas were SO good!! There were a handful of starters that looked so good but we were happy with the ones we chose. For dinner I ordered the short rib and my fiancé ordered the saffron risotto. My short rib was so tender and fell apart the way short rib should. The saffron risotto was really flavorful. We both really enjoyed our dishes and had clean plates afterwards! For dessert with we ordered the lemon cake which isn't normally something I would get but it was really good! It was light but still full of flavor. The cake and the ice cream together were super good. Overall, we had a nice meal here! It is definitely on the pricer side so I recommend saving special occasions to go here. We were really pleased with everything we ordered and our night as a whole.

Went here with my boyfriend for a pre-Christmas date and had a very tasty meal. I had made…read morereservations for 7 and we were seated immediately. We were pretty close to the door, which wasn't ideal with how cold it was. They have a sort of vestibule outside but it's not fully enclosed so it does almost nothing to improve the blast of cold air when the door opens. I should preface this review with I liked the food but the service was a bit slow, however, I know fine dining service is a bit more leisurely, so I may be overly harsh on that front. Anyway, once we were seated, water came out right away. We then waited a while for the waiter to get our drink orders so I ordered the empanadas with our drinks (we were hungry). Empanadas came out quickly and were very tasty. Drinks were not quite as quick but were also very tasty. Then we waited a while for the waiter to come back to order our entrees. And at that point, I asked if we could have some bread. I saw a bunch of tables with bread but I think our waiter maybe forgot because most folks in his section didn't seem to have it. When that came out, I wanted to laugh. 2 small pieces of focaccia and a small piece of the other kind. 3 pieces of bread does not a bread basket make. He did offer to bring more but my boyfriend declined (What?!, but I didn't contradict him) so I can't fully complain about that. Once our mains came out, my complaints about the slower service and small bread portion were erased because good heavens the short rib was INCREDIBLE. So melt in your mouth and flavorful. Definitely some of the best short ribs I've had in my life. My boyfriend had some kind of dish with a butternut squash puree, mushrooms and cauliflower. His was very good too but perhaps a bit gravy with the salt. We did get our order for dessert in pretty quick and that was a great end to the meal. The passionfruit puree made it really bright tasting. TL;DR: really delicious food (4.5-4.75) but service pacing, and the blasts of cold air made it a 4. We would go back but I had a gift card, and I'm not sure I would have been as happy with the meal if we'd paid full price, if that makes sense.

It's a lovely restaurant. It seems a bit out of the way with mostly corporate buildings around. The restaurant has a nice modern aesthetic. I like the purple hyacinths hanging from the ceiling in one area. It was very steady for an off time in the afternoon. First, our server Olivia was amazing! Very attentive and we were extra needy this day so I really appreciate her patience. We even dropped food on the floor. Oops! She was so nice about it and cleaned it up immediately. We had customizations and extra requests. No problem for her! She went above and beyond. I hope she sees this because she was such a joy! The food was also very good. We started with the biscuits and one peach compote and one blueberry. Both were yummy. They were traditional drop biscuits and I love a good biscuit! We also had an order of fried green tomatoes on goat cheese grits. You get 4 very large slices. I could only eat one. The grits were yummy but there were not enough of them in relation to the friend green tomatoes. They were also encased by a sauce. I'm guessing a remoulade. I don't really care for remoulade sauce so I'd have removed it had I known it came with the dish. It really overpowered the goat cheese taste in the grits. The tomatoes were very al dente and I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. The dish was still good but my least favorite and I would normally love anything with those ingredients and fried green tomatoes are a favorite so the remoulade (or whatever it was) sauce was a real problem for me. I would definitely get them again without the sauce because they are great otherwise. But that sauce just overpowers every other flavor! I got the chicken tender dinner and others in my party got the bone in fried chicken. Everyone liked their chicken. The tenders were a big size. 4 of them but I hit 2 meals out of them. Everyone liked the Parmesan rosemary potatoes. I really liked the bacon green beans. The only side we weren't impressed with was the Mac and cheese unfortunately. The cheese was not good. We got coffees and a chai. All of them were very good. A bit pricey for the amount you get though. Even with the smaller complaints, I'd still give th a 5 because of the outstanding service and the dishes were overall very good and large portions. We will definitely return and I hope to try out a breakfast item next visit!

Then I discover Chef Mitchell Fetterling is from Saison- a 2 star Michelin restaurant. The quality of food is excellent and well worth the value. Where else can I get seafood flown in daily and prepared with so much flavor and expertise? The patio was comfortable and inviting. We sat outside with our pup. Our attentive server even moved 2 umbrellas for us, so we had enough shade. We loved the fresh oysters, tuna crudo, potato beignets, seared scallops, filet mignon, salmon, pasta, brownie sundae and pineapple w/ ice cream dessert! They were all so elevated. Again the food quality and execution is exceptional. What a gem in Prairie Village! It was the perfect night out. Thank you!

Make reservations because they had a two hour wait for walk-ins. For appetizers we shared their burnt ends. Tender and sauced perfectly. For dinner we shared a wedge salad, their mashed potatoes, asparagus (a must!), and their tomahawk steak! Instead of doing three separate steaks we did the one and it was a perfect size for all of us to share! The steak was tender and well seasoned, mashed potatoes creamy, and the asparagus was prepared in a way we hadn't had before - highly recommend! We also had their dessert lemon meringue pie and coconut cream pie! Really really good! Wine options: amazing! Bourbon options: classy! We couldn't give it five stars for two main reason: 1. We made a reservation for 7pm, arrived and check in at 6:50 and still had to wait just over 30 minutes to be seated. We learned that walk-ins had been seated ahead of us so we needed to wait for some tables to leave before we could be seated. This was a bit surprising. We understand waiting a few minutes, but 30 min is not okay. 2. The sweet server assisting us for dinner was in training and we learned from her "trainer" that she wouldn't be getting any of the tips from our dinner. Additionally, the "trainer" came over around 830 to tell us that although it was only three of us that gratuity is automatically included. Very odd that we were told these things during our meal. The server being trained should absolutely get a portion of the tips - we hope restaurant management reconsiders their policy on this especially since we hardly saw her "trainer". We normally tip over the 20% but because the trainer didn't get any of our tips, we opted to not increase the tip that was automatically charged to us. All in all really classy restaurant and food was delicious! We'll be back for sure!

Overpriced chicken, a stellar mushroom side, and an aggressive exit strategy…read more After some custom cocktails nearby, our famished group headed to Rye for some dinner and dessert. The space was nice and clean, but unfortunately, the service and the "famous" main course didn't quite deliver a stellar performance. Our table was split--some wanted dinner, some wanted dessert. This apparently threw our waiter into a state of deep existential confusion. The Food: I ordered their "famous" fried chicken, customizing it to three thighs (which came with homemade pickles and a fantastic ham gravy). For $24, it wasn't bad, but it's definitely not "famous" for flavor--maybe just famous for the price tag. Honestly, I could have filled up at Popeyes for a fraction of the cost. Surprisingly, the absolute star of my meal was the side of sautéed mushrooms. It came with little pearl onions, shallots, and green peas. I topped it with some of my friend's arugula to make it fancy, and it was delicious. The Service (or lack thereof): Here's where it went downhill. The dessert order became a saga. Those who ordered sweets expected them to arrive with the mains, but we had to ask several times just to get them toward the end of the meal. By the end, our waiter seemed completely frustrated with our existence. He aggressively boxed up the remaining desserts and semi-forcefully shoved the credit card machine into our faces to shuffle us out the door. Great mushrooms, aggressive math at the end. Proceed with caution.

Gary Westmoreland, so I know a thing or two about Suburban neighborhood bars parading as Irish public houses. First things first, apologies for my long absence. After the untimely demise of my frequent dining partner Maurice (who definitely slipped and fell on his own), I just needed a break from my Yelping. #RIP #accidentshappen But, enough about me and my shenanigans. Let's talk about Conroy's. This place is sort of like a zoo without cages for the animals. After I walked in from the bright parking lot, I found myself in a dark bar full of people mostly old enough to make me feel young again. A gal with Viking hair shouted "sit wherever ya like!" from behind the bar (I think that was Conroy's version of a host). I chose a tiny little table for 2 (sigh, I was solo) amidst the crowd. I was greeted some moments later with a menu twice the size of my table. I donned my cheaters and began chapter one of the largest menu I've ever seen. The menu was resplendant with classic Irish dishes like nachos, pizza and burgers. I felt like I smelled a hint of Irish Spring soap and was whisked away to the Emerald Isle!! I kid, of course. There's plenty of fare from the land of the Leprechauns and faeries. I chose cottage pie because it seemed authentic and comforting. Even though it's been years since Maurice's tragic ACCIDENT, I still find myself needing comfort food when I'm dining solo. It was delish. I wanted to lick the rarebit it was served in clean, but the nosy man seated nearby at a large round table (by himself, mind you) kept staring at me from above what appeared to be a pint glass full of communion wine. He had a disconcertingly large head and facial features. I wasn't sure if he needed a friend or a fresh corpse for his crawlspace. Anyway, I maintained my manners and didn't clean the plate like a Beverly Hills chihuahua. I didn't try any booze on this visit because my Uber account is locked due to a disagreement with a swarthy gentleman who mistook my friendliness for an advance and yada yada. Anyhoo, I don't dare risk a dewey when I'm driving mother's Chrysler. Anyways, this place was great and the imposing, cologne-sodden Tongan boy who served me was a real sweetie pie. I think I'll download Lyft and stop by soon for some Irish beer and another bit of cozy fare. Slainte!

I like Irish beer but I tend to get the local brews when I travel and I'm glad I did. Boulevard was pretty good! If I had more time I would have looked for a six pack to drink before paying RIDICULOUS prices at the stadium or FIFA Fan Fest! Service was good, quick and friendly. I brought my bottled water in, as most restaurants use the bleachy tap, and they were ok with bringing me a glass and some ice. The rest rooms were smallish but clean. Next time I'll also try to get the 'authentic' Irish or local fare!
