Currently Landing is in its growth phase. I'm not sure the hotel has a lot of guests yet so it was…read morefairly empty while, we were also there on a rainy night. We went there before a Knucklehead's show, which allowed us to just hop down the road conveniently. So don't overlook this if you're headed to the East Bottoms for some live music. While the food was good, this will definitely be a little better ambience with a good crew, soccer game, or weekend. Food was delicious. Pork belly bites were cooked to perfection, fries perfectly crispy, the grilled cheese sandwich was still good even left over the next day!! So, so good. With that said, I took off a star because while it was empty, the bartender was not the friendliest. We were asking about the menu, deciding between choices and he was rolling his eyes and loudly sighing, like we were inconveniencing him. Meanwhile, there were zero people in the other area of the restaurant, and all of the patrons were sitting at the bar. Maybe 6-10 max? There were two of us girls. I'm not gonna say he was hired because of muscles and being good looking... But I'm going to say customer service isn't his forté, rubbed us wrong when excited to try a new place. I absolutely hate including this on reviews. But being a new restaurant on a slow night, I don't like feeling like I'm supposed to profusely apologize for sitting at the bar.

Made a reservation for breakfast and were seated timely. We were sat at a dirty table. The table…read morewas promptly cleaned but that was the last we saw of any staff at our table for a long time. 25 minutes passed and no one asked for our drink or food order. The booth behind us that showed up 20 minutes later was given the opportunity to order coffee within 5 minutes of arrival and we were passed right by. I had to stop what appears to be a manager and ask why we haven't gotten to order yet. During the 25 minute wait a waitress passed us multiple times and a manager did as well without acknowledging our table's existence. I wish I could say the food was better than the service but an hour after we were seated it still had not arrived.

Their menu is small and consists of burgers, tenderloin sandwiches, fries/tots and shakes. You order at the counter and take the food to go. There were a few people already inside waiting for orders when I got there, but my order was taken quickly and the wait was what you would expect for a burger and tots. I ordered a cheeseburger and their tator tots. The cheeseburger was pretty typical with lettuce, grilled onions, tomato, pickle, and "Harold's Sauce" but it did come on a brioche bun and was really good. The tots were nice and crispy and well seasoned. I would definitely come here again.

Situated along the river front in Berkley Riverfront just a block or two from CPKC Stadium, Two…read moreBirds One Stone is a solid option for those after a cocktail/beer and a bite. The space is bright, modern and well laid out featuring a fantastic beer garden with lots of seating from standard tables to picnic and informal/gather style seating...all with views of the water and the big screen tv they have at one end for all the games! Indoors there is a bar you can belly up to and a small dining room with a few tables as well, and lastly they have a fully covered patio if that's your vibe. We were walking along the water and decided to pop in for a drink and bite. We went canned drinks as upon ordering a beer we were told the CO2 was short, so they couldn't guarantee how things would taste. Given that, we went with canned drinks and a cocktail. With our drinks, we ordered the club sandwich with salt and vinegar chips and an order of onion rings. The food was decent. Onions rings were excellent, but the avocado dipping sauce didn't do it for me as a pairing with onion rings. The club was stacked and tasty, chips were fine, but were missing the salt and vinegar punch we were expecting. Service was friendly, but a tad chaotic. The place wasn't that busy and there were two servers manning the inside and out. We were helped by the bartender and both servers throughout our time, which is fine, but it made it a tad confusing on who we should go to. The space was clean, bright and had a good vibe. Views of the water and surrounding park were nice as well. This spot is one of the first in this area, which is clearly poised for a lot of industry, so will be exciting to see what this all looks like in a few years. Overall, solid visit to Two Birds One Stone!

Sort of an odd vibe the day I was there but could've been just that day. I was with a larger group so it was probably complicated but any time someone would order a drink a new bartender would come over looking around confused like no one could communicate to them who ordered what. They have a lot of different cocktails but no gin ones? Thought this was weird. The beer isn't listed on a menu. You have to go look at the wall behind the bar. Maybe the beers are all rotating? I wasn't sure. The food was the unfortunate downfall. I got the fish and chips. The fries were fine but the fish was a... shape. As in it was for sure frozen and flavorless. I think maybe just skip serving stuff like this and do more of a beer hall thing. I'm sure they're trying to appeal to a lot of people but because it's very much a bar vibe maybe just stick to burgers and wings? I'm also wondering if it just wasn't my vibe. So much like this already exists and there's nothing unique bringing me here.

Second visit to Anjin, and once again, the food did not disappoint!…read more Yesterday, I had the three yakitori skewers, pork sando, and finished with their house-made matcha and pandan ice cream. Everything was so good! But beyond the food, the service is what really stands out to me. Adam has a way of making you feel genuinely welcomed, almost like you're having dinner with family. It's warm, attentive, and doesn't feel forced. That kind of hospitality makes the entire dining experience even more special. The restaurant is very intimate. Two visits in, and Anjin has consistently delivered on both food and service. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

This lovely, small restaurant near Crossroads in Kansas City has a very small sushi bar-style…read morecounter seating, so getting reservations can be hard, but once you get one, it's worth the work. The staff are incredible--super knowledgeable, nice, conversational, and friendly. What more could you ask for? The food is FANTASTIC. I don't know how they categorize their style of cuisine but I'd call it "Japanese fusion" for lack of a better, more specific take. It's largely (or wholly?) Japanese, but I've been to Japan many times and am a huge fan of Japanese cuisine of all varieties, and I couldn't pinpoint some of the dishes, but this is not a criticism, only an explanation as to why I am challenged with categorizing the place. All small plates, we had excellent cocktails and a variety of (recommended) small plates, all of which were surprising and excellent. Standout dishes: well, all of them, but the Corn & Crab Okonomiyaki was delicious--and different; the skewers with Jidori Chicken Oyster, Barham Farm Chicken Heart, and Barham Farm Chicken Tsukune were delectable; and the local Enoki Mushroom Tempura--also incredible and should have ordered a second. The Fried Chicken Sando was good but I was surprised it wasn't as flavorful as it looked...or I hoped. Still, not complaining!

We went to Double Tap KC for my friend's birthday and ended up having such a fun experience…read more We booked the virtual reality, which was definitely the highlight of the night. It was a little confusing at first getting everything set up and figuring out the controls, but once we got into it, it was a blast. The setup upstairs is really cool--it's somewhat separated, which helps you stay immersed, but there are still other arcade games up there so if you're waiting for your turn, you're not just standing around. One thing I really appreciated was the drink selection. I don't drink alcohol, and they had a TON of mocktail options, which honestly made the experience way better for me. It's not something every place puts effort into, so that stood out. The food was also surprisingly good, with plenty of options to choose from. Downstairs has more of a full bar vibe with additional games and more space to sit and eat (no VR down there), so it's nice to have both environments depending on what you're in the mood for. Overall, it's a great spot for groups, especially for birthdays or a night out where you want something a little different.

My Steak & Frites was just perfect. The truffle parm fries are the perfect crisp. To celebrate, we enjoyed the Dirt Cake Tart with gummy worms. How fun to feel young again! Nostalgic and made us smile. Thank you Brown & Loe! Also if you've never been here, you HAVE TO get the meatloaf.

I am still genuinely befuddled at this Friday night dinner experience…read more I came in for a celebratory Hurricane since I'd heard these were great (and we loved their cocktails the last time) and a bite. The place was pretty empty which was unusual; the last time we came in I think was in December and it was slammed! It turns out they aren't serving alcohol right now (apparently an ownership change? I didn't get the full scoop) so that was the first let-down. So fine - I'll just have a bowl of the gumbo. For $29?! And some biscuits. The gumbo comes out in a cracked bowl with a cracked plate underneath and the 3 little crawfish on top are refrigerator cold. Granted, the actual gumbo was pretty solid with the right amount of heft and spice and depth, but even then the rice had some hard pieces in it like it was old. The biscuits aren't anything to write home about and the butter is just meh. I wouldn't spend my carbs there. On top of all that, the waitress literally couldn't be bothered that I existed. I had to pry to get a drink menu (which is when I found out they weren't serving any), I couldn't get any eye contact from her or any kind of friendliness, she asked me if I wanted them to "heat it up" when I told her about the crawfish, and then brought my bill when I hadn't even finished dinner without bothering to ask if I wanted any dessert. And on top of that, there was no mention at all about the dinner issues or any apology whatsoever. I don't need or want a meal comped but for over $40 for a bowl of gumbo and some biscuits (+ tax, tip, etc) I at least expect some acknowledgement or "hey, here's something nice we can do for you". We really enjoyed the last time we were here and this was a genuinely jarring experience compared to that. The place looks pretty rough right now - maybe this is one of those places that has the right vibe in the dark, but nothing felt right about it today, and I'm afraid I can't (won't) recommend it again.
