Cute little cocktail bar off of Mass St…read more I was recently in Lawrence and decided to finally stop by to try a cocktail. The interior is pretty small but they do have some seating outside-front and back. The service was good. I ordered the House Gimlet: cucumber infused gin, rosemary, orange blossom, and lime. This drink was so refreshing. It's a great drink for spring and summer. I highly recommend this drink! My boyfriend tried the Fugue State: Old overholt rye, bigallet China-china, tiki bitters, Lambrusco, and orange peel. He liked it and said it was like an old fashioned. It wasn't too strong and was really sweet. They had lots of other good sounding cocktails. I'll definitely stop by in the future.

The drinks are strong but creative and delicious. No food served just snacks like peanuts and such. We ordered 2 rounds: French no. 5 - their take on a French 75. A spritz of Chanel no.5 is attached to the drink. Grandma's Gun is hot and strong mulled wine. And finally we had the No Blood Only Lipstick which was the most expensive drink on the menu but worth every sip. The service is wonderful! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Gender neutral restrooms. While the drinks are spendy, it's definitely worth the experience. If in Lawrence it's worth a stop.

It's the type of place where you can get a phenomenal cocktail made by their innovative bar staff, or just have a pint of Coors Banquet on tap. The interior of The Continental Room has a sleek speakeasy atmosphere with windows looking down on Mass St. for great people watching. A huge plus is the large outdoor seating area located at the back of the bar, which is perfect during the late summer early autumn twilight hours.

I got pretty blitzed before a mom's weekend event and took my mom here, she loved it and got me out of the doghouse for not being able to stand straight.

We had high hopes for this place. The cocktails looked delicious on their Instagram posts…read more We ordered two drinks. One was supposed to be pear. One was a cosmopolitan. The drink ingredients were premixed in unlabeled bottles so you didn't even know for sure what the bartender was pouring. Both drinks were watered down and you couldn't taste any alcohol. They tasted like watered down juice. We also couldn't identify any specific flavor such as pear or cranberry. They were flat and unfortunately not tasty. We loved the ambiance. It's a cute place, but we wouldn't order cocktails again.

There were lots of specialty coffee options but I just got their black coffee and it was super smooth. Very delicious. The menu has a lot of options on here all the way from breakfast to ice cream! We sat in here for a while. Super unique place, each chair at the table was also different, which was neat. There's also seating outside! Lovely spot!

The only service you receive is the food being brought to your table (not the drinks) and you remove your own trash from the table. It is way over priced. I ordered 2 smash burgers 1 basket of fries and 2 kids meals with grilled cheese and fries, no drinks. I added 15% tip not knowing they don't do anything for you. Total was over $70. There was a sign at the register that said wait time for food was 20 minutes. We waited over an hour to get our food. The 2 burgers came out first, then a couple minutes later the grilled cheese. By this time our kids were not happy at all. It was very hot inside. They didn't have the ac on. I could see the thermostat from where we were sitting. It was 85 when we got there and got to 90 before we left. Others, I'm guessing locals the people working know, were served before everyone else. Several young ladies came in and went behind the counter and made their own drinks and filled coolers and left before my family was served. A group of elderly people came in after us and were offered vouchers for their wait. We didn't get anything not even offered anything to drink while waiting over an hour inside in 90 degrees. After using the salt shaker that was on the table I noticed all of the dead bugs in it. They put trays of cooked chicken and bacon out to cool where customers can walk up to. With the heat and flies I wouldn't eat anything they are prepping.

Seared scallop entree, however, is to be avoided at all costs. It was $38 for 3 1/2 medium-sized scallops that were completely overwhelmed by a spicy green sauce and hidden underneath 3/4 cup of cucumber garnish. I ate 2 scallops before I realized there was only 1 1/2 scallops left under the garnish. My husband's order was also 3 1/2 scallops.

The five-course meal, crafted by a remarkably talented chef using a variety of techniques from their farm, was beautifully executed in a surreal indoor-outdoor setting. Every dish was spectacular, and the beverage pairings were creative and perfectly curated. The owners' labor of love is evident from start to finish, making this a true gem in the Lawrence/Lecompton area. Our guests from Leawood, Kansas said they would gladly make the drive back anytime to experience another one of these magical culinary evenings.

We heard about Burning Barrel and Origin Restaurant from a friend and quickly booked tickets online…read morefor one of their first weekends of service. We were not disappointed. We arrived on the farm (after our Ford GPS took us a wonky route along a few miles of dirt road--so make sure you stay on paved roads and you won't have trouble--I was told by Kristin, our host and one of the owners, that Google Maps has no problem). I have to share our experience in detail because I feel we discovered a new must-visit experience in the KC area! We arrived at the 30-acre farm, parked in the field, and were greeted by our server who welcomed us warmly and offered us an arrival cocktail to sip while we explored the truly lovely grounds, pond, and nearby goats. After our leisurely stroll, we returned to the dining pavilion and found our seats at the gorgeous (and massive!) live-edge dining table along with a menu specifically for this weekend. Our gracious host Kristen and server brought out our first drink pairing, a minted lime seltzer that was refreshing and light. Our first course arrived--Blue Jade cornbread with arugula, sweet pea salad, and chicken liver paté. The cornbread was unlike any I had before and was absolutely delicious. The sweet pea salad was literally bursting with flavor the peas were so fresh and the chicken liver paté out of this world. Such an interesting flavor profile and combination. The next beverage pairing arrived a short time later as we enjoyed the perfect evening, a blackberry purple basil shrub. This drink was also delicious and refreshing (and save that blackberry for last--what a treat!). The Mangalista pig, we were told, is the "wagyu of pork" and the crisp, tasty, marbled pork chop was excellent. It was served with a beet "kimchi" with fennel root and a sheep cheese dumpling that was creamy and flavorful. Finally, our coffees were served and a dessert of yellow squash cake, lemon honey ice cream with mulberry compote was brought to us. Again, the dish was original, delicious, and a perfect ending to our meal. We can't wait to come back and have try a new menu in the future. Such a perfect evening and the chef has such an exciting vision for hyper-local farm-to-table flavors and dishes.
