Pierpont's at Union Station

I had an excellent first visit to Pierpont's over the holiday weekend. The space itself is gorgeous, matching the beautiful style of Union Station with high ceilings and tasteful decorations. We went on a Sunday evening during their happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by their half priced bottle of wine deal (Sundays only). We split a bottle of Pinot noir that was fabulous. For an appetizer, we ordered the fritto misto di mare - calamari, scallops, shrimp, and spinach fried to perfection and coupled with a flavorful dipping sauce. It was delicious! Next came our blue crab & sweet corn bisque. This had to be my favorite part of the meal! The bisque was decadently rich and creamy - I highly recommend! For my main course, I ordered the conductor burger off of the happy hour menu - topped with whiskey-bacon jam, goat cheese, and paired with fries. The burger was very tasty and I loved how the sweet bacon jam and goat cheese complemented the savory burger. The fries were just okay and lacked seasoning. For dessert, we were provided with a complimentary dark chocolate cheesecake since my parents were celebrating their anniversary! The cheesecake was rich and yummy with a cute "Happy Anniversary" chocolate addition on top. We had a lovely experience all around! Our waitress Jamee was very warm, friendly, and provided excellent service all evening.

All things are relative. That certainly rings true here.We went on a crowded Christmas weekend. Union station parking nearly full. We ate at 8:00pm. The decor was excellent. I love Union Station and they took full advantage of that aesthetic. I'm glad we were seated in the carpeted area because the marble floor area was extremely loud. Service was excellent, however we had lipstick on two of our water glasses. Not good. They apologized profusely and brought clean glasses. I thought they should have comped us an appetizer or dessert. They did not. I didn't ask. That brings us to the relative part. I got crab cakes and steak tartar for appetizers. Both were excellent. However, there were only two crab cakes each the size of a half dollar. Absurd for the price. Tartar with a beef tallow candle was a great touch. A bit small for the price if I were sharing. Paris should not have cheaper steak tartar than Kansas City. As a main, I got the strip with Ancho Chile spices. The spices were very sweet. I wasn't expecting that but I still enjoyed the steak. Wife had the filet. Daughter had the black Cod. Everything was cooked perfectly. Steaks were the best I've had in Kansas City in some time. I really miss the Plaza III days. The Cod was excellent with grilled bok choy. We got small sides. If I were paying half this price, sides were fine. But for these prices, we should get more than enough to share. Fill us up with potatoes and asparagus. Sides are inexpensive to make. It's a steak house. I think the portions were too small. If we're coming in for $60 steaks don't grift us on sides. Dessert was a chocolate cheesecake. Good, but again, very tiny. Over all it was great experience at a beautiful location and time of year.

What a treat Pierpont's is!! Wow! We made reservations on OpenTable. We were seated promptly in this gorgeous restaurant. The decor was super cool. They have the tallest bar I've ever seen. Emmanuel was our delightful server. He's been there 24 years and knows his stuff. You should ask for him. Everything we had was amazing, starting with the complementary sourdough bread. I had some PEI oysters that were outstanding! My wife ordered the clan and corn chowder which was divine. I had the spinach salad with rhubarb dressing. Wow!!Our steaks were perfection. My wife loved her 5oz tenderloin Oscar style. I had intended to order the bison ribeye, but they were out of it. So Emmanuel suggested to coffee and school chili rubbed KC Strip. It was the best steak I've had in KC. Actually, I've only had one steak better in my 54 years and that was at Bazaar Meats by José Andrés in Las Vegas, an A5 Kobe. This one was a fraction of the price and simply unbeatable. Just wow! We can't WAIT to go back!!! Fantastic!!

What a beautiful place to dine! It really takes you back to the history of KC's Union Station. The service was superb and friendly. We started with the Jezebel Martini, which features vodka infused with three different types of olives. The subtle flavor was a unique take on a dirty martini, which we love. We shared an arugula beet salad which had all the fine ingredients including pecans, shaved cheese, and two kinds of beets. They were kind to serve it on two dishes since we shared. For an entree, we each ordered a 5 oz. center cut filet. One ordered medium, the other medium rare. Both seemed just a little overcooked but not enough to complain given they were tender and perfectly (lightly seasoned). My side of Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection. A little crunchy and not soggy, bravo! Unfortunately by then I was so full, I couldn't finish the Brussels sprouts. When it came time for dessert, I said no until presented the dessert menu. Much to my surprise , they had an excellent choice of dessert cocktails! We always joke that we like to drink our dessert, so we finally had an opportunity. We ordered the Barrel Aged Banana Foster Manhattan. Oh. My. Goodness. I have to figure out how to make it at home. It was soooo good. A little sweet, not overpowering on the banana flavor. A perfect end to a grand night out.

Pierpont's hosted a large group dinner for my organization recently, and it was lovely! The food, service, and ambiance were all great. Noteworthy was the coffee & ancho chili rubbed Kansas City strip, which was so flavorful and had subtle hints of sweet and spicy. Also, the asparagus that came with the steak was perhaps the most perfectly cooked asparagus I've ever had. The accompanying bread, salad, and raspberry/lemon Bundt cake dessert (forgot to snap a pic of this) were good as well. Lots of parking up front. 9/10 would recommend for your fancy meal requirements!

An absolutely beautiful place with outstanding service and an old-school steakhouse menu. All of our food was perfectly prepared and delicious. One item that stood out and that should not be missed was the tempura brocolini. So good! Also, the Blue Crab and Corn Bisque was amazing. An outstanding wine list, and while we did not have cocktails, I'm sure they're great!

Sorry that I did not take any food pictures, but Pierpont's has to be the perfect place for special occasions. It doesn't have creative food really, but if you want a good steak this is the place. The ambiance is perfect, it really is gorgeous. We were seated in a private room tonight and that felt so special. The food was very delicious, and I am very particular. The chocolate cheesecake was amazing. Our server was so great- Stephanie. I liked her so much I unsuccessfully tried to set her up with my BIL . She took great care of us, and I've not had a better server in a while for sure. My BIL treated us all to a meal here and it did not disappoint!

Been here a few times for brunch and dinner. They have a great brunch and dinner menu. The food is delicious. Happy hour daily even the weekends. The staff is wonderful! I love the ambiance. Will continue to go back.

Been to Pierpont's twice in the past few months and was surprised, in a good way, both times. First, I love the art deco 1920s feel of the place. The bar is beautiful! The first time I was with my family - we had 11 people. We grabbed a drink and some snacks for happy hour in the bar. Love that they have a happy hour on the weekends! They have a great happy hour food menu - definitely worth checking out. The second time, we came for our anniversary. Again, we started with drinks and apps for happy hour. Both times, I ordered a steak, and it was perfect! The second time I got mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts and they were incredible. The first time, I didn't love the side I chose. I also didn't love my husband's pork chop. Definitely go for happy hour and then grab a steak for dinner!

We stopped here for drinks while touring Kansas City. Union Station is an active Amtrak station along with a tourist area. We found the bar in the corner of the station during their happy hour. We ordered a couple of beers along with a gin speciality drink. Our local beers were cold. Our friend was not a big fan of her gin drink. She told our waitress and they made it to order. No problem. It came back more to her liking. Place is pretty cool. An old bar area in the station that they have kept the original feel. If you like bourbon this is your place.
