Trezo Mare Restaurant & Lounge

First off, let me just do a TLDR: This place is 6/5 stars and everyone should experience eating here at least once, it will become a favorite!In general I don't venture up to the northtowne area very often. What prompted the visit this time was a quest for a decent scallop meal at a reasonable price and at lunchtime. This proved to be difficult on two fronts: 1) we are in the midwest and land-locked, so a decent scallop is hard to come by in general and, when you find it, the meal is general higher priced than most (understably so) and 2) the few places I found that do offer scallops only offer them as a dinner meal (most are actually ONLY open for dinner). The one exception is a well-known brand restaurant from a famous chef and everything on the menu is way overpriced for the rest of the family.The occasion for the outing was my family birthday meal, and one member would not go anywhere for the meal at dinnertime so it had to be lunch. Enter Trezo Mare. TM has a wood-fired scallop meal on their dinner menu, but I also noted that they are in fact open for lunch on a Sunday. The restaurant is employee-owned so I thought, why not ask? I gave them a call and spoke to them about the possibility of getting scallops during lunch; they were more than happy to accommodate this without hesitation. The young lady added a note to our reservation (we had a group of 6 and anything TM requests reservations for for groups of 6 or more per their website) and let the kitchen know so they could add a serving of scallops to the lunch prep for the day. Thank you so much TM!!! This is not where the hospitality and positives about TM end though. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, even though several party members were running a few minutes late and my car had arrived a few minutes early. The hostess was welcoming, the waitress was amazing, and the manager (who brought our food) was very friendly and announced each meal as he set out our plates. The waitress was aware of my birthday from the reservation and wished me happy birthday from the start and let us know that they would give me a free desert, which is always a nice touch. When she brought out the desert (of my choice from any desert on the menu) it even had a birthday candle which she lit before placing it on the table. Side note to this- it was also nice that she didn't do any singing or announcements like some other places do- those are fine for the kids, but as an adult I find it embarrassing). Everyone got vastly different meals for our lunch; we had a fish & chips, macaroni & cheese (dressed up with lots of additions), salmon with cesar salad, french toast & bacon from the brunch menu, and of course my scallops with purple potato's and sauce. Everything was wonderful and even the picky person liked the fish & chips he ordered. The scallops were melt-in-your-mouth delicious, some of the best I have ever had (including from the aforementioned restaurant branded by the famous chef). I chose the Trezo bars for desert (without the caramel drizzle) and, although they were very rich, they were so yummy we couldn't stop eating them (I shared with the table so everyone could have a bite or two to try them). The cost of the meal was incredibly reasonable, especially considering my scallops came from the dinner menu and almost everyone also had a drink with their meal. It was not much more than we would have spent at any regular dine-in restaurant.Trezo Mare claims to be an Italian and seafood focused restaurant, but they really have a variety of food options on the menu so there should be something for everyone, from steaks or burgers to Italian, seafood, and even breakfast (during brunch). Other things to love besides the amazing food and service: employee-owned and operated, they support local farmers and sustainable farming practices, all foods prepared in-house using the freshest ingredients available, recycles or composts over 85% of waste out of the building

My family goes to Trezo Mare at least two times a month and it never disappoints. The restaurant has such a great atmosphere in its three unique spaces. In the summer, Trezo Mare's large patio is the perfect place to enjoy a nice day outside while eating some great food. The restaurant's lounge side has a large bar with plenty of televisions and other tables. This space feels homey and always makes us feel comfortable. Lastly, the restaurant's main space is perfect for larger tables and special occassions.This time around we tried the Trezo Rolls made of bolognese, mozzarella, and marinara sauce all put in a wonton wrapper. It was a 10 out of 10. Another thing we learned about this time was the restaurant's exclusive wine locker options. It was super fun to be able to have our own bottle!

Came in for restaurant week! Jack provided phenomenal service! Between the two of us, We had the goat cheese, salad, filet mignon, prime ribeye, and chocolate bar. Always fresh food and the best ingredients used here!

This has become one of my favorite places to go to to celebrate special occasions! The staff always makes any special event feel extra important. They can personalize menus if given enough time. My favorite dessert in KC is here! They have a chocolate bar, which is a soft and creamy texture, with a base crunch. I have gone out of my way several times to purchase this dessert.

Service was amazing. We made reservations for 6:30 pm on a Saturday night & were sat promptly at that time. The seasonal pomegranate margarita was so delicious! We got the Tuscan dip for an appetizer. Also delicious but sadly the dip had a large chunk of cream cheese that didn't get mixed in well enough. For entrees we got the roasted chicken & the salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly but had zero flavor :( the roasted chicken was great. However, the Brussel sprout side it came with was quite spicy & it didn't mention that on the menu. The atmosphere is classy yet lively. I do think it's time for an update with the booths, curtains, light fixtures, floors, etc.

Wow! Definitely a 5 star experience for us at our anniversary dinner tonight. We made a reservation for 6:15, patio options were limited to high tops so we opted for inside, and ended up really happy with the romantic quiet atmosphere that made it easy to converse while we ate!Our waiter was amazing and had recommendations for just about every course. The drinks were delicious and came out quick, same with the appetizers. The main courses were worth the price and you could taste the freshness. They also gave us a special happy anniversary note on the menu and free dessert! It was a great date night and we will absolutely return.

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEWI came for KC restaurant week and got the three course lunch deal. I started with the butternut squash bisque, then the chicken piccata, and finished with the crème brûlée. the bisque was good but sweet, and the crème brûlée was delicious - very custardy. However, my chicken was very dry and overall lackluster.Unfortunately, I did get sick almost immediately after eating. The staff were very kind, and everything was denoted GF that I ordered, so there must have been some cross contamination in the kitchen. :(

I ordered a margherita pizza and it was very delicious. I went here with some colleagues and our server was beyond accommodating. She was so kind and extremely attentive. It's a cute restaurant, my colleagues highly recommend this restaurant. Service was fast, we were seated immediately. Prices are reasonable.

Beautiful patio and great ambience inside. I usually come for the fabulous happy hour but went with a large group for my friends birthday on saturday night. Not only were they able to accommodate comfortably but service was excellent. They even took the cake back and cut it for us with no cake cut fee. Steak was cooked perfectly and the wine was excellent.

This used to be my go-to happy hour spot. Still a great happy hour menu. Service was great. It gets busy quickly on Fridays, so get there early. Unfortunately, the food has changed a bit. I LOVE the whipped goat cheese, but it was smaller than I remembered it being. Taste was exactly how I remembered it though. My husband got a flatbread pizza and the main flavor was ketchup. I'd definitely skip the pizza next time.
