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.

    Continuously amazed at how the staff at Pierponts makes dining so much of a pleasure. The waitstaff went above and beyond to provide a genuine upscale experience. Their knowledge of the menu is beyond what was expected.

    We brought my best friend and her husband from Indianapolis and they were blown away. They finished their meal and said they wish there was a Lydia's in the Indianapolis area. Consistently absolutely delicious food, impeccable service and ambiance. Can't beat this! Recommend that reservations are made in advance because this is a VERY popular place.

    Enjoyed brunch, food was tasty. I appreciate that every part of the meal was good. Usually when you eat brunch there is something that may trun out subpar but this brunch was not. This is one of the few if any restaurants in the area that serve freshly squeezed OJ which I was excited about. Service was good but a little slow.

    My dining experience at the Majestic was excellent and very personable!!! Ted took care of me and my grandmother for her 65th birthday, she felt very special. We got a full history about the place on top of the food being excellent. The ribeye That we received was buttery and juicy and the mac & cheese was hot and well seasoned! On top of that the drinks kept consistently coming. The crabcake appetizer was so tasty as well as the Caesar salad. I couldn’t think the staff enough for my excellent experience my grandmother and I would give this a 10 out of 10/10!!!!
