I know, I know, people think it's gross. Not these ones tho, so definitely don't let it sit on the edge of your plate. Nothing we ordered was mediocre--even the beers!

Food and menus options are absolutely wonderful, allowing the patron to truly enjoy the best Germany has to offer. Choose wisely because the portion sizes are huge. Service could have been a little better; our waiter was a no frills type of guy. I think the potted plant I saw in the window of Grunauer had more personality than him. Nonetheless, we'll try this place again as the quality of the food made us forget about the person serving it.

So, so, so happy because my husband chose Affare Restaurant to celebrate my birthday evening! It…read morewas truly an experience eating here, and it's the perfect date night spot if you want a quiet, cozy, and intimate dinner! Since my bday was on a Fri night, parking was a bit of a challenge in downtown KC, and I really suggest arriving at least 15 minutes early. As soon as we got in, the staff greeted us (all wore casual t-shirts matching the restaurant feel). The vibe inside felt modern and bit rustic with German-inspired articles displayed near the entrance and front side of the restaurant giving it an overall homely feel - nothing too basic and nothing very fancy. As we walked towards our table, I saw my free bday treat kept on the table - fresh apricot cream and blueberries dessert with a little "Happy Birthday" chocolate and candle. I loved seeing it right away instead of at the end, and it was perfect for a diabetic lol giveeeee me fresh fruit with cream any day!!!. The waitress greeted us warmly, went over the drinks and appetizer menu, and even wished me happy birthday in German - Loved the authentic touch. I was honestly mind-blown by the selection of non-alcoholic drinks at this restaurant - I was practically jumping with joy. They had everything from alcoholic and non alcoholic wines, beers to cocktails and 0 sugar herbal sparkling waters. I chose the herbal sparkling water, and my husband went for 2 alcoholic cocktails - Armchair Expert, which had cognac smoked to perfection with a rich flavor, and the Orange Boulevardier, a bourbon drink with an orange flair. Appetizer - we ordered the half charcuterie board, which came with a variety of cheeses from nearby farms, smoked pig liver paste, salamis, prosciutto, some pickled salad, German mustard, and house bread. The charcuterie board was fun to try because we got to explore different flavors, and the smoked liver paste was spectacular and my favvvv. I thought the house bread could have been better (were a bit dry and hard), but overall I was very happy with the appetizer. Soup - Igot a soup for myself called Suppe von Wald und Wiesenpilzen a vegan, tasty, hearty mushroom soup that will leave you surprised and make you wonder why creamy high calorie mushroom soups even exist lol. Main Course - I chose the Gegrillter Barramundi which came with perfectly cooked wild rice and mushrooms, and my husband went for the Hirschrücken unter Pekannusskruste - a venison steak with apple bread dumplings. Both dishes were very unique - the barramundi was grilled to perfection and beautifully plated over the veggies and wild rice, and the venison steak tasted divine with the huckleberry demi-glace bringing sweet and savory flavors together. To end this heavenly meal, we got the same dessert, finishing the birthday evening on a sweet note. The restaurant is also priced well for the fab dishes they have. One suggestion I would give is to have a chef accomplishments wall inside the main dining area walls, because when I went to the restroom I saw all the amazing certificates and news articles the chefs had earned. I would have loved to learn about t during my dinner experience. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant!

I wanted something fun for a friend's birthday and since she likes pretzels, I ordered a custom…read morepretzel. Everyone was delighted and wanted to know where I got it from. I got a custom shark design and 2 dips for about $35. It fed 8 of us and we had a lot of dip left over. The pretzel lasted about a day before it started getting a bit stale so definitely order it for the day you want to consume it (we did and had extra). They texted me a photo of the pretzel before it got baked and made a change like I requested. I ordered a couple days in advance for pickup and had no issues.

The Boulevard Beer Hall is a KC staple. If you're into craft beer you should definitely check it…read moreout. And even if you're not, you should still check it out. The Hall consists of 3 floors and they have plenty of parking, both lot and garage. The main floor has all the merchandise and to go beers, a self guided little tour, a little bar area. The second floor has beer and food. The menu has been updated a few times but I've ordered several items and all have been good. I believe the last time I went they expanded into pizza. They have a couple of bar areas, one with a majority of their offerings and the other for experimental beers. I like the experimental offerings and I regularly check them out. On the larger bar they have seasonal, year round, and sometime specialty beers. They also offer seltzers if beer isn't your thing. They have lots of seating including patio. The patio is nice because it overlooks the city and they're expanding it. The 3rd level I'm personally less familiar with. They call it the Rec Dec and I've been up there maybe once. They have games like shuffleboard that you can rent lanes for. They also offer more cocktail like drinks so I'd recommend this level if you're less into beer. All three levels have excellent service. Definitely check them out if you're in town or in the area!

I love getting to see my friends enjoy it as much as I did the first time and continue to do. The guides are super personable and it's just a fun experience. The price is great for all the samples, including the end where you get tokens to trade in at the bar for mini pours! The beer hall is massive, truly. You can order food from a QR code on your table or at the bar. Nothing super crazy, but decent pizza and sandwiches. They've got a nice patio balcony as well. Check out the small bar for experimental pours - this past time there was a Dubai chocolate stout, and another time I had a divine apple pie ale. And don't forget the gift shop! They really have some groovy merch, and the ability to craft your own six packs. What's better than some brewskis straight from the source??

Service was a bit slow, and we were disappointed to find they were out of barbecue for the day. However, the food overall was good (albeit pricey), and the beer was excellent. I had the fish and chips with a side of creamed spinach and it was flavorful. Others at my table enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo, wings, and burgers. I appreciate that the server provided a free dessert after spilling a water on one of our diners. Overall, I would return, though I have some qualms after reading some other reviews, particularly relating to hygiene.

The chicken however was like rubber. I ate half a small piece and put the rest to the side. My husband had the Pulled Pork platter which is normally good. The meat was really dry. I ate all the pasta and told our server about the chicken being like rubber and she stated that she's mentioned that exact thing to the cooks but that maybe if a customer complains they would possibly listen. What made me a little annoyed though was that I ate none of the chicken yet they didn't at least bump off a few bucks off my meal. The service was fine but I feel like over the years this has become my last choice versus my first choice.
