    Outstanding service and friendly engagement from the initial greeting through the entire meal all the way to our departure. Paisley was an absolutely wonderful waitress. Great hospitality and insightful suggestions. Unlike other area competitors, the staff acknowledged our special event multiple times. That was not the case with previous anniversary dinners unfortunately spent at other area restaurants. Food was quite good as well.

    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.

    Pierpont's has been a favorite restaurant of mine for years. I don't go as often as I would like, but when I do, the quality of the food and service are always consistent and exceptional. In addtion, it is located in Kansas City's iconic Union Station. It is a wonderful restaurant for special occasions, but fun just for a happy hour, too. If you have not tried Pierpont's at Union Station, don't wait, it is a wonderful dining experience.

    KC has a lot to offer in restaurants but you won’t find any other like this one! The menu changes every few months and the variety is wide for any taste buds. We love the atmosphere and the presentation of the foods. I can tell the servers like it here too as we often get the same ones for years now.
