Voltaire

Amazing!! Had the Spanish octopus which was so good. Drinks were creative and delicious, and ambience was moody and fun. Definitely want to come again and try some more stuff!

Stopped by Voltaire for happy hour... and was reminded of how good this place is! It is just as good as I remembered... if not better! We sat at the bar, grabbed some happy hour drinks and snacks. Service was great, drinks and food were delicious. Portions sizes were great! This may be my new favorite happy hour spot!

Quaint spot with unique dishes. Service was great and staff was knowledgeable about the menu. Great spot for a date night or night with friends! I had the Lobster Pappardelle with house made noodles and it was delicious. We ended the evening with an Affogato.

Had a great dinner at Voltaire. Service was great, and everyone's meals were delightful. This was the pork tenderloin that was Korean bulgolgi inspired with kimchi and pear on top. I am personally not a fan of fruit with meat, but everything was flavorful and seasoned very well! I had their one mocktail on the menu which was not the best, but it is a mocktail, so it's not a fair judgement on their cocktail menu! Would definitely go back to this quaint but vibrant spot to try their other dishes and cocktails.

Came for happy hour on a Thursday night. They had a special including $20 on select wine bottles as well as happy hour pricing on various small plates from 5PM-6PM (short time). Food was decent, not mind blowing, but solid for happy hour. We started with the mussels and pommes frites (best item we had), as well as the pommes aligot, both very tasty and delicious. Other dishes we tried included the hummus plate and seasonal salad. Loved the salad, perfectly dressed and lots of crunchy pistachios and whipped chèvre cheese that made for the perfect bite. Service was sort of slow, especially for there only being 3 parties in entire place, but not awful. Overall would give probably 3+/5 stars for food and service. Restaurant itself is beautiful and definitely fits well in the West Bottoms. Would still say worth trying again maybe for an actual full dinner..we all have off nights sometimes.

I'm normally down here visiting the dive bar next-door called lucky boys but decided to have a nightcap and grab a cocktail before heading back home. The cocktail chai and love again caught my eye immediately after looking at the menu. It was beautifully crafted, and so delicious and warmed my tummy. The space was also super cool. I loved the record player that they had in the window and the bookshelf of records by the bar. I don't think I've ever been in a bar with an actual record player playing music before, so that was very interesting to see. I'll have to stop by again soon to check out more of their cocktails. Unfortunately we only had time for one.

Quaint, dimly lit restaurant with great drink options and pretty good food! I loved enjoying their oysters which were on their special menu that day. Great date night spot!

Very cute spot located in a seemingly hipster area. The menu is a tad limited, but we had a good time. The food was a little too salty for my tastes & the service was a bit slower than other spots we tried in KC. Worth it to try for sure!

Charming, beautiful spot in the west bottoms with a great menu. The Szechuan steak au poivre was delicious! Perhaps my favorite item on the menu is the Lisbon cake. Great date night spot.

Made reservations for a Saturday, options were limited for times. Neat area. Found parking about a block away. Voltaire has character. Tables, booths and a beautiful bar. Several staff members. They did dim the lights off and on through the evening. Great vibe. Waitress was nice but not overly friendly. She made sure our water was continuously filled but did not interrupt. I started with a Rum, Rabbit, Rum. I tasted no carrot but the drink itself was very very strong. Was fine but I would not order again. Friend had the Hemingway Spritz, she said all she could taste was the absinthe. Drinks were presented beautifully. Friends shared mussels and said they were fine. We also shared an order of Pommes Frites, again fine but not mind blowing. I had Golf Shrimp Tempura Tacos. Came with 3 street style tacos, each only had one shrimp. IMO it lacked flavor. I keep only tasting the char from the grill they put on the tortillas. Friends had Puntanesca Primavera and Lion's Mane Mushroom and both enjoyed their meal but no one was blown away. Bar was busy but the tables and booths were mostly free, which was interesting since reservations were limited online when she booked. Bathroom was clean. Overall, nice place. So many places in the city I am not sure this will draw us back, but definitely give it a try.
