Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Plaza / Brookside

We dined last night to celebrate my birthday and it was such a treat for everyone involved! Miranda served us and was incredibly attentive to our needs and preferences, and gave excellent advice on which wine to pair with our meals! Thank you to the team at Lidia’s for a unique and enjoyable experience, everyone left feeling satisfied and overjoyed!

The owner and chef, Amante, has done a phenomenal job in curating this menu which is off the charts. They employ the Japanese practice of dry aging fish, which makes the dishes, especially the sushi quite delicious. The bartender is world class and their cocktails are made with much care and attention to detail. The ambience makes you feel you’re somewhere in New York or San Francisco. I believe there’s a good value for the money which all in ranges from $75-$100 a head. I plan to return here quite often as it is one of the best dining experiences in Kansas City.

Everything was exceptional! Starting with the wait staff, who were so attentive, that they were there with utensils, plates, refills, etc., before I was even aware that I was going to need them. The food was 10/10 delicious, the ambience was perfect, I will definitely be back!

Enjoyed a nice Christmas lunch. Food was very good and service was excellent. It was very easy have a conversation without feeling like you had to talk over music or other parties.

The food is always so so good! That keeps us coming back. We are always a bit disappointed in service. Just small complaints like we were sat at the bar to wait for our table and the bar was dirty and we as never wiped down. The people next to us with a different waiter were sat about 30 min before us and received their food and drinks after us. They seem short staffed and disorganized. We have noticed this on busy and slow nights. Our server last night was great and we had no complaints.
