A really solid place. John's a great bartender who can mix an edgy Old Fashioned. His Manhattan was classic, so smooth. A rather large menus but we went for the Caesar salads, creative with bits of bacon and kale. The dressing was lite--thank you. Plenty of shaved parmigiana cheese. Some Yelpers have complained. Don't know why, really. We certainly would return. read more

We chose Dott Boss for breakfast based on the menu and reviews, but unfortunately our experience fell short of expectations. The restaurant appeared to be significantly understaffed, which likely contributed to several issues during our visit. I ordered the Steak & Two Eggs and requested my steak medium rare. It arrived well done with no pink whatsoever. While I understand mistakes happen, a steak cooked that far beyond the requested temperature is difficult to overlook, especially when it is one of the more expensive breakfast items on the menu. The breakfast potatoes were also inconsistent. Some pieces were cooked properly, while many others were extremely hard and crunchy when bitten into, creating an unpleasant texture and making the dish difficult to enjoy. To make matters worse, one of our meals was served on a chipped plate with a noticeable section missing from the rim. This should have been caught and removed from service before reaching a guest's table. The staff members we interacted with were friendly and professional despite clearly being stretched thin. Unfortunately, between the staffing shortage, the overcooked steak, the poorly prepared potatoes, and the chipped plate, the overall experience did not reflect the quality level suggested by the menu prices and atmosphere. There is potential here, but management needs to focus on staffing and quality control to ensure guests receive the experience they are paying for. read more

This is our first time here and it was really good. We had hummus and pot stickers which were fantastic and the service was great as well. The ambiance was very casual great for groups and single singing as will. read more

Not your average biscuits & gravy! I'm not a huge fan of sausage gravy, but Dott Boss put a new twist on it. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the potatoes were delish. Waitstaff was very attentive, and friendly. read more

Do not plan to dine again for a dinner. Friendly staff, but the overall feel and experience felt I was more on their time than mine. Truth be told, I dined in on a Wed evening so need to take into consideration. That said, the menu was intriguing which is why I wanted to visit. Although, it was unfortunate to learn that the one item I visited for could not be served (combination of staffing/prep and ingredients). I instead ordered the Red Snapper. Keep in mind this was not a packed house (Wed Night), but waited for my meal to be served maybe 20-25 mins later. Which begs me to question, was the food overcooked with a graveyard kitchen staff or sitting in the heat lamp to die. Nonetheless, atmosphere was great and the bar staff were very friendly the few times they passed. Great ambience, but better place for cocktails, or maybe brunch if you're actually looking for a meal. read more

Disappointed doesn't even cover it. Slow, slow, slow service. 1 bartender and 1 server for the place. 2 different kitchen guys hanging out by the bar at different times and yet we still waited forever for our food to come out. Our server even offered a drink on the house after seeing us waiting forever. When our orders finally did come, it was the driest chicken I've ever had. I'm guessing the kitchen staff forgot it was in the oven while standing at the bar?? read more

I ate here twice for breakfast... The food is UNBELIEVABLY good, and everyone Working there was very friendly. I highly suggest the egg, pear, prosciutto, and brie open face croissant, or peaches and cream oatmeal with farro, If they have them on the menu, which I understand changes from time to time. In my opinion, I would keep those two items on the breakfast menu. I'm not sure why it's not allowing me to also check the ambience box... It's a very cool place inside the Indigo hotel. read more

Amazing service. Like, suspiciously good -- the kind where you wonder if you're about to be recruited into a secret society. Highly recommend hitting their happy hour, where Four Roses bourbon flows at $6 a pour. At that price, you're not drinking bourbon -- you're investing in happiness. Honestly, I could've stayed there all night, slowly transforming into one of those cautionary tales they tell at brunch the next morning. Speaking of brunch: stayed at the hotel, had the breakfast, lived to tell the tale -- it was solid. Nothing like recovering from $6 bourbon bliss with some well-executed eggs. The restaurant and bar ambiance? Very nice. Very adult. The kind of place where you feel fancy but still just trashy enough to aggressively chase $6 bourbon like it's a competitive sport. Would return. Would probably need a chaperone next time. read more

Nothing truly spectacular except the space, which in itself is both timeless and trendy especially for a restaurant attached to a hotel. The black and white checkered floors and the large dark heavy wooden bar with shiny brass accents take center stage whereas, the food fades away into the background. I have been here a few times and each and every time no matter what I order I leave unsatisfied. A solo diner of overpriced salmon proved uneventful even though the spicy jam component was so yummy I did have to ask for a side of it to make the rest of the lackluster meal worth eating. For around $30 a plate I want to feel like some thought was put behind my food here it seems to just be put on a plate and pushed out. Also, tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it with a friend for happy hour. Even worse. Just stick with the regular menu, the hummus tasted like sawdust- literally grainy and under seasoned and I've had some pretty fantastic hummus around. Nothing at all stood out as worth ordering again except the Gouda aranici and the jalapeño cheese bread was alright but, could be more decadent. What shines here, other than the decor, is the seasonal cocktails are usually quite inventive. But, one missed the mark for me. It was a take on a French 75 with earl grey tea infused gin however, the gin seemed to not be properly strained and contained loose floating tea particles and was quite muddy and unappealing in color. The drink itself was too concentrated in an unpleasant herbaceous flavor and I needed it to be topped with more brut to balance it out, luckily it's no longer on the menu. Case in point, if you are staying at Hotel Indigo or if the other restaurants in the area are insanely busy then sure it's fine. But, I can only recommend with good conscience staying for some cheese stuffed fried rice balls and a speciality seasonal sipper and then finding supper elsewhere. read more

We put our name down around 11:30am and they told us it was going to be a 30 min wait. We came back (still didn't get a text) and I asked what the status was on our wait time. The host proceeds to say that it's lunch time and that they're cleaning the entire area. Likeeee??? It's a Saturday and your business is in a prime, World Cup hosting area in downtown!! Get it together Dott Boss, you AIN'T the BOSS. read more

Want to love this place as it's adorable inside, but it's honestly hit or miss. Went here once with a group of girlfriends, and had a great time - good music playing, tasty cocktails, and the bartenders were attentive and quick. The other visits were a bit of a let down, and food was just ok. Came in another time (hour before close) for a couple drinks with my boyfriend, and before we could even order a second, the bartender kept rushing us to finish because "they'll be kicking everyone out soon to close". Not a great look, but everyone has those days. Overall, come here for the drinks, but the foods worth skipping. Anytime I drive by they seem to be closed, so maybe it's a staffing issue. read more

Great Saturday morning breakfast! We started out having Brittani make us two spectacular spicy bloody Mary's, then followed by two perfectly flavorful vanilla cappuccinos. We decided to try the breakfast tacos, and shrimp and grit benedict with a side of breakfast potatoes. What a delightful flavor combo for both entrees. The sweet chili oil that finished the tacos added that punch of flavor to put them over the top. The plating, aroma and beauty of the shrimp and grit breakfast was on point. The combination of tang from the sauce sweetness of the grit cake and spice added at the end made this breakfast my favorite!! read more

We were staying at the indigo hotel and decided to try out the restaurant attached to it. I have no idea why it wasn't packed because it was DELISH!! The ambiance is clean, friendly, full of tvs but fine dining at the same time. We started off with the poutine and it was delish! I had the nachos and it was sooo good. I asked for no pico... the chef himself came to our table and asked if it was okay to have jalapeños in the meat. It was so thoughtful for him to ask and check. Really showed how much he cared The kids had the rosemary steak and devoured it. There was nothing left My husband had the smash burger and wouldn't share. That's how good it is. read more

I was staying at the Hotel Indigo KC for work. I arrived on a rainy Sunday and didn't feel like walking around to search for dinner. I cozied up at the bar and had a couple of beers along with a burger and fries. Decent food at a somewhat reasonable cost considering the location. I may need to come back at some point this week due my long work days. read more

An incredibly pleasant surprise ending to a great weekend in KC. Received a voucher from the connected Hotel Indigo for a complimentary breakfast and we could not have been more pleased with the experience. Our adorable waitress Juanis was so friendly and clearly proud of the establishment. The strong Parisi coffee was great and all of our food was expertly prepared. I had the eggs Benedict sans the spinach and unlike what others have written here found it to be OUTSTANDING. In particular the hollandaise was rich and delicious with the butter browned to perfection. This will be a must stop on future trips to KC. read more

Thank you Juanis for our absolutely fantastic service both days from staying at Hotel Indigo. Food was brought out hot and fresh and GREAT size portions. Eggs were fluffy.

Restaurants in Kansas City with both excellent breakfast selections and craft coffee drinks are in short supply. I have been on the hunt for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this wonderful spot on my way somewhere else one Sunday morning. The only downside is parking and I think that was only a problem for me today because I'm here on a chief's versus bills Sunday and there's a lot of chiefs and bills fans in local hotels. I often frequent this area of downtown for a Sunday meeting and I've never seen so much traffic. I do wish they had more than vanilla to choose from for the lattes but the All-American was my selection and it was perfection on a plate!!! I really also wanted to try the Eggs Benedict and Breakfast Sandwich but I could only choose one!! I'll be back. read more

Wow! I am so impressed with the flavors and quantity of these items. The potatoes were so crispy and seasoned perfectly. They had a slight garlic and Parmesan flavor with parsley flakes. The sourdough breakfast sandwich was flavorful from the tomato and bacon and the bread was also crispy. The cinnamon roll was SO GOOD and not too heavy. The prices are a little high but the quantity makes up for it. I went around 11:30 on Saturday and it wasn't super busy. The waitress was friendly and attentive for having to manage all the tables herself. It also wasn't loud which I always appreciate. I would definitely recommend this place for a low key brunch and I will be back! read more

My friends and I were told of this place that was right around the corner from our hotel, Hotel Phillips. So glad we went!

Definitely would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Called this restaurant ahead of arrival on a Sunday morning to see if reservations were needed. We were told this is a first come first served establishment and we'd be seated immediately if I we arrived within 10 minutes. We arrived in 5! It was a pretty quiet restaurant connected to Indigo Hotel and the overall setting was reminiscent of a classic diner. It may have been the red and black but it definitely felt slightly retro. Unfortunately, they didn't have a bartender working that day and there were only a few drinks to choose from as the servers weren't trained to bartend. The food was cooked to order and was very pleasing to our palate. The French Toast was superb! It was fluffy with a slightly crispy exterior and warm soft interior. My perfectly style. The potatoes were so golden, slightly crispy and hot. My avocado and bacon sandwich was savory and the tomatoes were marinated and delicious even by themselves. My husband ordered steak and eggs although it was not a menu option. He figured since they have a dinner menu, they MUST have a steak somewhere and he was right! He was offered a ribeye or 6oz steak and he chose the ribeye. The chef cooked it to perfection and no sauce was needed whatsoever. We had a great feast and we're glad we were able to dine after eyeing this place for so long. read more

After the hotel kicked us out 10 minutes before checkout time, we came to their restaurant to eat breakfast. Staff, with a confused look on their face, didn't know if the bar was open seating or not.. We waited to ask another staff member. After taking a seat we tried to order drinks. Same staff member didn't know what soda drinks were available. As I start naming popular brands he says they only have coke products (no dr pepper, no root beer) so I request Sprite which they actually have. During ordering my wife tried to get the two egg breakfast, she was then told she couldn't sub the sourdough toast for rye... After this I decided I wasn't eating here, so we gave up and went to another breakfast spot. The spot was Farmhouse in the River Market. Do your self a favor and go there. It was great. read more

Dott Boss scores decent on my "hotel bar scale" but scores below average on my "cocktail bar scale." If I was staying at Hotel Indigo, I would love to start my day with a coffee and end my day with a beer here. As a KC native, I don't have a burning desire to go back. They had a pretty limited selection of draft beers and a standard common cocktail menu. Neither of us thought our drinks were anything special. I do think that the pricing here is fair, and the floating shelves at the bar make for a pretty spectacular backdrop! read more

I've recently discovered that it's super nice and convenient to simply eat at the restaurant of the hotel you're staying at. Most of the time when traveling for work, the only fun one gets to have is to find new cool restaurants and bars in Yelp to frequent. But there's something to be said for saving a lot of research and travel time when you STAY PUT and get back to your room with more time for recuperation... before starting all over again tomorrow. If you happen to stay at the Indigo Hotel in Downtown KC, or you're near the famous Power District looking for decent food and drink, Dott Boss is an excellent choice. They have a small menu in terms of number of total offerings, but I was able to find solid selections for three dinners and two breakfasts when I stayed in KC for three nights. The service staff were super friendly. The food comes out shockingly fast. They have a great bar with around 10? beers on tap. The hotel and restaurant opened Dec of 2017 after a 30 million dollar renovation that is beautiful. Check out the restrooms :-), check out the hotel, and try the large $4 house salad. You'll be impressed. read more

Do NOT be fooled by the subcategory of 'tapas and small plates', as that was what had appealed to my new coworker and I. Sure, I just moved here from CA (and her from FL) - so I'm biased on food. But this place had nothing but ballgame-like appetizers, priced $10+ even for happy hour. We only got nachos to share and they looked exactly like how I would make them at home, complete with the canned black olives. Does it have potential to be great? Yes, maybe I should've chosen a different item. Also, this is in a hotel lobby - which after reading this Yelp, I did not know however if I did, probably would've known better. I had also Yelp checked in for the 20% off and I had never seen a more irritated waiter LOL read more

Comfortable, well-lit, great service, good food, and lots of good coffee.

Came for some late evening cocktails with some friends and we had a great time! Cocktail menu has something for everyone. Whiskey for the hubby, mule for the bestie and blue cheese gin for the lady.

We parked a few blocks away on the street (this country girl doesn't know much about downtown Parking) so prepare yourself for a few steps on a cold night.
