Laura, the owner, greeted us as soon as we walked in and was probably the sweetest and most welcoming person we've met in Kansas City. She immediately made us feel at home. We started with the meatballs and burrata, both of which were delicious. The meatballs were especially well seasoned. My wife had the bolognese and absolutely loved it, and she really appreciated having gluten-free options available. I had the cacio e pepe, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. All in all, the food, service, and ambiance were outstanding. One of our favorite meals of the trip. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors alike.

Once, several months ago, my husband and I decided to try our hand at authentic Detroit style pizza and to make this kind of 'za, it's recommended to use "brick cheese." My husband went out on a mission to find it and ended up here. The owner of the shop was really friendly to him and when he got home he remarked at how kind they were at helping him along his cheese journey. Overall - this is (in my experience) the best place to source exotic cheeses in the city, and it's also one of the few really delightful local shops to just window shop in. You never know what treasures you may find!

The crème brûlée was a bit disappointing, as it didn't have that classic crunchy top that you expect. That being said, the espresso martini was one of the best I've had in a while definitely a highlight.

But I had yet to try the Parker in the hotel until my most recent visit and let me tell you, i've been sleeping on this place!

We just ordered two apps and a couple drinks but they all were amazing! I would love to come here again and get an entree as well as try other things. The restaurant is located pretty high up in the hotel so you also have a fun view. The vibes are just right giving a slightly elevated atmosphere. It wasn't busy at all so their was no wait which was nice since we were on a schedule! Overall, this is a great spot if you are staying at the Fontaine or in the area.

We did all of that and took quite a bit of snapshots along the way. First stop in at front to indicate the experience you want to have.

All have unique displays curated with 9-holes to take on. You can enjoy drinks while you goto each hole which makes for more enjoyment! I'm not going to lie; it was very challenging and extremely fun! We hit all 3 courses. As far as playing mini-golf and attempting to do well, I'd say I like the Conservatory course. We pretty much were there until closing. There was also food & drinks a part of our visit. We sat at the bar where Madi served up 3 great drinks and we go to try the Spinach Artichoke dip. She made us Espresso martini and then a Pumkin flavored martini, both tasted exactly as expected with a bit a Baileys for added flavor.

The Puttery completely blew me away!!…read more This place had been on my list to try out for a long time and I wish I'd gone sooner. It's located in a cool area in the middle of the plaza right underneath Chiefs Fit gym. As soon as you enter you get a feel for the great ambiance and fun variety of music. We came in during a cold snowy day and took full advantage of the FREE coat check at the front desk. On the first floor there's a mini golf course as well as a full bar and seating area. Once you go downstairs though, you'll see just how massive the place is. Theres TONS of seating and cool little nooks to hangout in which make it great for a date night or corporate events. Once you get into the mini golf there's some great courses to check out. Each one has a different theme and they make it super simple to track your points. Simply enter the names of all your players on the touch screen at the first hole, then enter the number of strokes afterwards. After that it will follow you throughout the course until you're finished and tell you who wins at the end! There's also a place to sit your drinks at the start of each hole with a menu of course specific cocktails that I highly recommend trying. Every part of this place is perfect to take pictures and have a great time. But in my opinion, the true highlight of the Puttery is the food. I had the pleasure of meeting the head chef while here and he truly puts his heart into the menu. Our server Mariah was also super helpful giving us drink and food recommendations throughout our time here. Everything sounded amazing but I had to go with the Cajun Chicken Philly since I'm a sucker for a Philly sandwich. It was one of my favorite sandwiches I've ever had. From the soft delicious bread to the unbelievably juicy and tender chicken, this was such a great dish. The combination of ingredients and the plating itself made it clear that nothing comes as an afterthought here. I also tried the loaded fries which were a great recent addition to the menu. Last, we finished it off by trying the Tiramisu, Raspberry Donut Cheesecake, and the Bourbon Bread Pudding. Each one was really amazing but my favorite was the Raspberry Donut Cheesecake, and I'm not even a huge cheesecake fan! I definitely plan to come back here just for the food because it was so delicious!! And on top of that, they recently started a meal prep service which I plan to take full advantage of! Overall you can tell that every detail is thought through at the Puttery. It truly feels like a luxury experience with an element of fun to round it out. The service is amazing and the food and drinks are to die for. If you're ever looking for a fun date night, a group outing, or even just a place for a solo dinner or drinks, you have to check this place out!

Basically, there were no vegan options, except for the vegetable roll. I ordered that plus a bunch of vegetable sides. My server/bartender did due diligence to make sure they were all cooked in oil, no butter or animal fat. Really appreciated that touch of service. Started with the Bubbles & Berries cocktail, which is a hit because of the presentation using dry ice to give it a dramatic bubbling appearance. However, the drink is overall very sweet with the fresh berries & champagne. I could feel the impending hangover, so I didn't finish it. Although I didn't have a full portion vegan entree, I was plenty full with all my sides, which I did half orders of. Everyone at the bar is super friendly, and there seems to be a lot of regulars who know each other. I easily made friends. Bartenders were all amazing. Extra kudos to Denise, the private events manager. I booked a private room for my clients, and we did customized menus. They had a spectacular dinner and loved it.

We shared the following and everything was very good: * Fried calamari: I liked the sweet chili sauce that dressed it rather than the traditional romesco sauce. * Crab cakes: The sweet-and-sour 'slaw and horseradish-mustard aioli were great accompaniments to the crab cakes. * Lobster bisque: This thick soup was full of lobster flavor...and butter flavor...and heavy cream flavor. * Filet mignon: I have had better steak elsewhere, but it was still good. * Carrot cake: There were 10 thin layers of alternating cream cheese and carrot cake, with a pineapple syrup drizzle. I would say this was one of the best carrot cakes I have ever had. I can't wait to return and try their rooftop lounge.
