The Stilwell Restaurant at the Loews Kansas City Hotel

We came here for New Year's Eve dinner without knowing anything about this place, including the reviews. We had just got back from Mexico City and had enjoyed some top notch restaurants there, including one that my globe-trotting cousin had put in a reservation for us the week before, which was outstanding to the extent I didn't think we could find something comparable here. Alas, we did unbeknownst to us. We were kindly greeted at the door and showed to our seating area. The waitress was bubbly and suggested the special that night, which I am glad we did. It was scallops, a horseradish encrusted fillet, and seared vegetables that were pretty amazing. In all, I'd felt that we had the caliber food we would have found in Polanco zone in Mexico City, and the dinner was such a pleasant way to end the year well. Additionally, it was neat watching the kitchen skirt around and keep busy, rather entertaining. We enjoyed a desert too that was Chai Cheesecake. I'd never heard of a cheesecake combination such as this, but it was good too.

Grabbed restaurant week dinner at the Stillwell. It was just ok, overall. It was BUSY in the lobby bar and it took a very long time for our drinks to arrive. My dirty martini was as delish once it arrived. We ordered from the restaurant week menu. The first course was good. The garlic cheese curds were awesome, and the beet terrine was good. The second course was overcooked. The short rib was dry, the spaghetti squash lacking in flavor. The fish was also dry, but the sauce was very good. Desserts were fine. My mom and stepdad got the wine pairing and they had to ask for the wines to go with their desserts - otherwise, they would not have arrived. For the price of restaurant week, I didn't feel the food was worth it.

Just a great salad: lovely veggies, delicious dressing. I eat a lot of salads in a lot of places, and I really enjoyed this one. The negroni was the best I ever had, and I've had lots of them too. The service was friendly and pleasant. I was staying at the hotel, but I would go to the restaurant again, even if I was staying somewhere else.

THE STILLWELL IS AMAZING! Not only top notch food but their service is fantastic. During my stay at LOEWS we had dinner here and then went back the next morning for their gourmet breakfast buffet. I highly recommend them

I went to the Stillwell Restaurant at the Loews hotel and it did not disappoint! Decor: the restaurant has a very swanky but relaxed feel. The bar is really well lit and the display of bottles at the bar is really cool.Food/drinks: I got the Duck Ragu and it was soo good! The duck was tender and it was layered under some pasta type thing. It was kinda like deconstructed ravioli..but waaay better! I had the Orchid drink and it had just the right amount of alcohol where you can taste it, but it's not overwhelming. The service was also good! The server was nice and super knowledgeable about the menu which really helped since it was our first time!

This place is a great stop for a burger and beer. I always stop by the bar when I visit this hotel 2 or 3 times a year. The KC burger is high end. Nice prime cut, toasted bun? Great seasoning, melted cheese and onions. The fries are crunchy and seasoned. Nice selection of beer. I had room service including a couple beers ordered to my room. The view and ambience is pleasing. Stop by here and enjoy!

While staying at the Loews, I ate at the Stilwell four times, including once for dinner, once via room service, and twice for breakfast.For dinner, I ordered a three-meat "Stilwell BBQ Platter", which included Kansas City BBQ pulled ribs, smoked chicken thigh (very smoky tasting), and burnt ends. It also came with a biscuit and veggies, and I ordered a cold Boulevard wheat ale. The food was awesome! I saved half for lunch the next day (and was forewarned about the generous portion sizes by the waitress). The BBQ platter was only $30, which was a better value (and IMHO, tasted better) than the famous nearby BBQ restaurant located next to Union Station. I had the tropical carrot cheesecake, which was a little small and a little underwhelming (my only disappointment).The restaurant is open for a breakfast buffet daily for $22. This is a good value, as they have great tasking coffee, fresh-squeezed orange juice, other juices, eggs, biscuits, grits, and a few other things. They'll even make you a custom omelette! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

WOW! This was our first stop of Restaurant Week 2024 and to be honest it set the bar way too high. I was so excited to try this menu and it definitely lived up to my expectations. We were terrified to try beef tartare but it was actually delicious! The scallops were perfectly cooked, so tender and flavorful. I wish the gnocchi had a bit more flavor. We added on the fermented potato bread because it was intriguing. I didn't get much of a fermented flavor, but oh my god the butter was incredible! I had to slather a half inch on my toast it was that good. Glad that's on the regular menu! Dessert was also super innovative - the beet cake was really delicious and I'm not really a beet lover! Service was great and on top of it. Overall this was a 10/10 experience and exactly the kind of fun dishes I love to try during Restaurant Week. Cant wait to see what they have for next year!

The Stilwell is located inside of Loews Hotel, which is a beautiful Hotel. My friends and I had made Reservations here for Restaurant Week. We wanted to try something different. We were greeted at the Hostess Stand and were seated quickly. Our Server greeted us fairly quickly and took our drink orders. We had some questions regarding the menu which she was very knowledgeable about. I chose to order the potato bread for us which was really good. The 1st course was the Amuse Bouche which was unique! For my 2nd Course I ordered mole negro which was delicious but very spicy, I probably drank 5 glasses of water during that course. My friend ordered the same and she couldn't even finish it because it was too spicy for her. My 3rd course I went with the Diver Scallops which were good. For the last course-dessert I went with the White Chocolate Bread Pudding which was good but very rich, I could not finish it. The other two ordered the pastrami short ribs with cabbage and it was delicious as well. We all 3 enjoyed our meal. Our Server checked in on us a few times, I did haveto ask another person for more water during the meal. There was a lot going on in the Hotel Lobby and bar area. The KC Chiefs played that night so the Bar/lounge area was packed, there must have been something else going on(kids sports)as there were people coming down the escalators to the lobby/lounge area. I'm not sure if our Server had tables out in the bar/lounge area or if she had to go out to the bar to get drinks for guests in the Restaurant. Over all we enjoyed trying out The Stilwell but may have chosen a different restaurant since as I said there was so much going on inside of Loews.

Waiter very pleasant. Food was very slow to come to table. Disorganized. Food was acceptable but would not recommend overall. Nice location and works for the hotel. Breakfast was better, do that for your hotel meal if you're staying there.
