Set in Kansas City’s historic City Market, Brown and Loe Restaurant’s inviting atmosphere is a blend of “big city” bistro with the welcoming casual flavor of a neighborhood favorite. Housed in a former Merchant’s Bank constructed in 1920, the restaurant honors the architectural details of the two-story building which features a façade of plate glass and verde marble floors and walls. In the 1940’s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchant’s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurant’s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurant’s fresh ingredients. Brown and Loe Restaurant is the second dining concept introduced by Harry Murphy, owner of the City Market’s popular Harry’s Country Club.

Grand Street Cafe was my mother in laws favorite restaurant, so we went there on Christmas Eve for brunch. Food was ok. The fish taco disappointed but the other entrees were fine. Very good service.

Always such a good time. Great atmosphere, great food and great drinks. My husband recently found out he’s gluten intolerant and they have a lot of gluten free options noted on the menu. Our server was great at answering any questions we had. The “D” Cup cocktail was yummy and definitely would get again. We tried the steak tartare and a couple rolls to start and all were fantastic. Too many good entrees to list that we like but you can’t go wrong with any. This is a restaurant we will continue to visit every year over Christmas when in town!

We dined at McCormick's & Schmick's on December 23rd with a reservation for an anniversary celebration. The meal and service were wonderful! However, we were seated in the back room with no view. With reservations and with advanced notice of a special occasion, we would have expected a table with more ambiance rather than stuck in the back room. There was also a table of 3 (with reservations) that checked in after us, they were seated before us and they were seated in the main front dining area; seems reservations should receive priority seating.

I love the food at True Food! Today our server, Mark, was wonderful--attentive but not hovering! Allowed us to have a great conversation with delicious food and not feel rushed to leave the table.
