Giant chunks of egg and the consistency was very thick and unpleasant. To top it off the chip topping that was given with the soup was STALE. Like a week old stale it was disgusting. The tray wasn't any better the egg rolls were soggy, the meat tasted terrible. And the service was terrible as well I told the lady at the front counter to have a good day and she gave me a dirty look. Seriously guys it's not hard to be respectful to customers. Overall if I could I would rate this place 0/5!!!!! Don't waste your money or time here!

The food was hot & fresh, arriving right at the scheduled time. It tasted delicious too. We've had an issue finding the kind of Crab Rangoon we like since moving the area 3 years ago, so here's more details on theirs: it is generously filled, slightly sweet, we didn't notice any green onion in it and maybe a hint of crab flavor/pieces but not much. It's fried nicely and not overly crispy. The only downside of the restaurant was paying the additional fee for Lo Mein but the Sesame Chicken lunch had Fried Rice instead. Taste was great, just not what we ordered.

Vivilore sadly has lost that magical charm since being sold in January of 2024…read more Vivilore gardens were epic, bountiful and full of color. Celebrated by dining on the back patio, black rod iron tables and chairs or under a covered area adorned with ferns. But now the boxwoods are turning yellow there are no flowers, outdoor chairs on sitting on top of tables. The website says the patio opens Mother's Day however no flowers have been planted. The boutique store is now just Knick Knacks. No longer is there that surprise of what you might find scattered throughout those rooms or on the walls. I do give kudos to the food that was very good. I had steak kabobs that were cooked perfectly. The owners have added tables to the boutique which doesn't work they've got a great dining room. I'll go back for the food and cocktails in the bar and I'm hoping the patio is as charming after Mother's Day.

Genuinely my favorite chicken parm in the KC area. Be sure to check on their soup of the day, and I…read morehighly recommend a caesar salad to go along with the meal. Cafe Verona should be on more people's radar when it comes to Italian food in KC. Plus, it's nice to get a drink next door at the Sentinel before you head in for a delicious dinner. P.S. I ask for their vodka rosa sauce with the fettuccine noodles with the chicken parm and it will blow your mind.

It was snowing and cold, and I was there about 6 or 7 minutes before opening. They were kind enough to let me in, sit at the bar, and take an order for a drink before they were actually open. Since it was cold, the lasagna soup sounded fantastic, and it did not disappoint. It was so good. I highly recommend it. My bartender was obviously super friendly (letting me in early), and the service, conversation, and attention I was given were spectacular. It's a fun place to look around. Decorations are interesting. It has a unique charm. My main course was excellent, as was my dessert. I had to go all out for this lunch, not because I needed to eat that much, but because I couldn't say no to anything that was put in front of me If you're looking for a fun place with great food and people, this is a good spot to go.
