This is a great place for happy hour after work downtown KC. They carry a nice selection of liquor, the service is great and it's a nice, quite place to hang out. I need to come back for food as the menu looks amazing and has great reviews! Will be back soon!

Sure wish I had read the reviews first. Took my wife for her birthday while visiting our daughter in KC. I searched top restaurants and this was one that popped up. Obviously a PAID ranking. I had reviewed their website and so pricing was not a surprise. What was a surprise was the lack of quality and value. My Carbonera Pappardelle (pork belly) was marginal at best. It had about 1 oz of pork and nothing else but wide ribbon pasta and some kind of cheesy soupy sauce. The quality was subpar at best and for $38, I expected something very delicious. At least the portion was small so I didn't feel as bad leaving most of it. My wifes salad was lettuce and commercial croutons with no cheese or anything else. They matched their lack of quality with very slow service. My wifes crappy salad arrived well before our wine. I had to chase down the water for a 2nd glass of wine and also for pepper for my dish. No offer of peppercorn or parmeson cheese to top. They waiter tried but the kitchen was backed up which is surprising because it just was not busy.So if you would like overpriced food from a subpar chef and poor service, this is your place.

The food was fantastic. We had appetizers (fried Ravioli and Bruschetta) both were really good. I think my favorite dish was the Caprese Salad the way it was done was a fun twist and SO DELICIOU. For our main course we had lamb chop and the blackened seafood tortellini. Both were good but the pasta was def better. Highly recommend it. Great food and service.

Very good food. My bruschetta salmon was delicious and perfectly cooked. I wish it came with rice or some sort of carb side. My husbands was very good but wow heavy! Our service was very good as we sat at the bar during happy hour. They had great variety of appetizers beer wine and cocktails to choose from at a discounted price. This is in the basement of hotel Phillips. Very convenient as this was our hotel before a concert at T-Mobile.

Our server straight up told us he didn't have patience and doesn't know the menu, he said we're all on one check with 20% gratuity so he didn't need to work as hard. The fryer had been broken for 6 days and they didn't disclose that when the reservation was made. The menu was very limited due to the fryer being down. There was 10 people in the restaurant and our food took over an hour and drinks took 30 minutes. Super disappointed.. we spent a lot of money here with a party of 7 but it was very disappointing.

WOW, just, WOW! The food here was so good! I would be able to take my Italian mother and nonna here for a meal and not have them complain about anything being unauthentic. Whenever I might be back in KC again, this place will be one of the first I visit for a meal.

I stopped here because it's a fancy bar in a fancy hotel Hotel Philips that I was staying at to have an adult cocktail. The place serves food which I didn't try because KC it has to be Bbq. The place is very nice and upscale looking which matches the 20 story almost 100 year old hotel that it's connected to. The decor is white tile and dark brown broken up with light wood accents, nice looking place. The blond woman did a great job and my service had no issues at all. The drink menu had a drink I don't think that I have ever seen before called salted Carmel wave which is Tom's town bourbon, Gifford vanilla, five farms Irish cream, kosher salt, Carmel with a salty Carmel rim. OMG this cocktail was absolutely fu#&ing delicious and would make the perfect after dinner desert cocktail. Overall this was a nice place to relax and enjoy a great cocktail and I should have went back and tried something else on the drink menu.

Expensive, ambiance 5/10, food quality and taste 5/10When you pay $17 for salad, $15 for soup, $12 for dessert, and $50 for entree + tax and tip, you expect way more out of the restaurant than just okay service and food quality of any hotel chain room service. I'm a local living 5min away walking and I will not be back to Tavernonna((( Im glad i've tried them during restaurant week, so I paid $55 for 4 courses, because otherwise I would be a lot more disappointed with the taste

I was soooo excited to try this place and booked it a month in advance for valentine's day. We arrive and had no idea they only had a valentines menu available. did not say that when i made the reservation or when i confirmed or on the website. Really disappointing since we had been looking at the menu for weeks and had both picked out something else to get. They tried to make the place feel nice but the waiter is taking our order on sticky notes. We also requested a high top and got sat in a back corner at a low top. Also for having very limited options still look several minutes to get even our appetizer of bruschetta. Food took about an hour and a half because they said they had one cook for valentine's day. Food was good once we got it but now i'm hesitant to try this place again.
