    Nice well stocked bar!
    Douglas B.

    Great upbeat restaurant. Music choice is great and the volume is just right. Food is very good and healthy. My server was awesome. Kind and very attentive.

    Spinach artichoke dip

    Great food, fantastic service in a lovely outdoor space. A group of 4 who waited too long to eat so everything looked good. Our server did a great job to help guide our decisions. We ordered spinach artichoke dip for the table and were pleased when it arrived with house made chips and bread, it was a great start. The grownups ordered margaritas and they ask your preferred tequila and had lovely options to choose from. The chicken Marsala was outstanding and more than enough for one person, the Swiss mushroom burger was great ( well done was a little too crispy, keep that in mind if that is your go to) the house cheeseburger was delicious (medium is definitely the move) we had truffle fries and they were so delicious you want to stuff them in your pockets. I say this as I normally think three truffle takes over but this chef knows how to manage it and they are worth ordering even if they don't come with your meal! We sat outside and the shaded patio was perfect for the summer, a band was setting up as we were leaving and would have been worth the stay had we not had a long day at the pool! You won't be sad to eat and drink here.

    Our waitress was wonderful! Got in early for our reservation. Tomahawk dinner for two requires 24 hour notice. No issues when making reservation. Steak was slightly undercooked for my tasting but still good.

    Visting son at MConnell Air Force Base from L.A., and wanted a good "MidWestern" steak. First Mile did the trick. Had a spectabulous RibEye, with mashed potats, and asparagus. As good as it gets. The mini crab cakes and deviled eggs with lobster were also great. And.......get the Sourdough. A nice touch. They also have a decent drink menu. Something for everyone.

    Nice atmosphere. Service was great. The cocktails were delicious. We enjoyed the deviled eggs for an appetizer and enjoyed a delicious lunch and a great time. Will be back.

    Hands down one of the best restaurants in Wichita. Locally sourced ingredients crafted into such delicious food. A must every time I am in town.

    As usual, the lovely and warm atmosphere of first mile was welcoming and cozy. We initially went to homegrown but didn't want to wait 45-60 minutes. First mile is a favorite and we had no wait there. I ordered my usual salmon salad but this time tried the burrata appetizer. It was delightful, fresh, and honestly a wonderful treat I could've had as a meal with a bowl of soup. Our server was very sweet and accommodating. We always have a nice time here. I'm grateful for the quick entry because we were not going to wait more than ten minutes with our busy schedules. If you want an affordable experience that offers locally sourced ingredients then first mile is a great option!

    A pig with makeup. The restaurant is beautiful and the appearance of the food is as well. But my mother in law even seasons the food better. The eggs were bland. The pancakes were way too sweet. The breakfast potatoes were elite and the bacon was good. The chocolate milk was made with milk and a drop of hersheys syrup. Food took 30 mins to come out and the water might've come out of the toilet. If you're looking for a very average meal this is the place for you!

    Pricey, However, the food was delicious. I had their French dip and it was juicy and fresh! I think the prices keep customers away.

    Always our go-to place in Wichita! Love the wood-fired flavors. Fresh baked sourdough was so good with the meatloaf.

The lighting is warm, the space feels modern but still comfortable, and it has that upscale date night feel without being overly formal. It creates a great first impression and sets expectations for a really polished experience. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite live up to that atmosphere. Service was probably the biggest letdown. Our server came off a bit awkward and did something I've honestly never experienced before. Multiple times during the meal, we were asked to lift our plates and glasses so they could wipe underneath them while we were still actively eating. It completely disrupted the flow of the meal and just felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. On top of that, drink service was pretty slow. We had empty sodas sitting on the table for a while, and even though several staff members walked by, no one really checked in or offered refills unless we flagged it. For a place at this price point, you expect a bit more attentiveness. The food itself was decent, but both entrees came out noticeably too salty. Not just slightly over seasoned, but enough that it took away from the overall enjoyment of the dishes. It was disappointing, especially given how promising everything looked. However, the cake was fantastic but again, $16 for a slice of cake in Wichita is just too much, I pay less when I visit LA for work trips. What really sealed it for me was the price. For two people, one appraiser and two entrees, two sodas, and a single slice of cake plus tip, we ended up at around 150 dollars. That's a pretty steep bill for a meal that had service issues and food that missed the mark on seasoning. Rotating menu every two months with locally sourced ingredients is great, but poor service and a steep price for overly salty food is enough to keep me from ever coming back.

There are easily 30 beers on tap/chilling in the fridge, ranging from local to national brands, with a great supporting wine and cocktail menu. The beer is cold and hits just right, plus it sets you up to order off that strong menu. From handheld to pizza, Bricktown has lots to choose from. I opted for the Rodeo Burger, a big burger topped with an onion ring, sliced jalapeños, bacon & BBQ sauce. Wowza! Fabulous burg, can't recommend enough. I washed it back with a Left Hand Nitro milk stout, which is maybe a touch heavy, but it's fall and it worked right. Alex, our server, was super quick and attentive; food came fresh and ready, clearly not off a warmer, and the turnaround time was superb! The place has some high ceilings, and with plenty of screens to pay attention to, it might get loud during a sportsball session. But there's plenty of seating, both in the dining area and at the bar, and the decor fits not only the theme but the space. Easy to park, seating is quick, they're open until at least 9:00 daily, and the seasonal specials are definitely worth a look when you stop in.
