With every visit to Andre's I become more and more of a fan…read more My first taste came from when I worked at the Nelson many years ago. Julian, the Director, is a fan of this place and he'd sometimes order an array of cakes for the staff to enjoy, they always went fast, and it was my first foray into European style cakes like what Andre's serves up. Flash forward more than a decade and I've been here a few times, sometimes to get chocolates for a friend, other times (like last night) for a meal. I didn't realize that Andre's does special events like their fondue nights. I have a feeling these are annual so you might have to wait until 2027 to snag a seat at the table, but their fondue meal was so much fun and comes with some history from their staff. Fun thing I learned was that they sell their fondue year round in the shop so if you ever want to do a unique date night at home just pop into Andres and purchase some to-go. It would be such a fun way to spend a Saturday at home. Finally, I'm going to add that for me what takes Andre's to the next level and makes it a must visit spot in KC is the history. It's been in the same family for generations, the recipes are authentic, and the owners are really kind people. It's the kind of business you can feel good about supporting and I'll be back!

We started with the goat cheese fondue appetizer, which was rich, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the meal. I also ordered the Passion Mare cocktail, which was refreshing and paired well with lunch. Service was a little slow when we first arrived, but once things got moving, everything was smooth. The food was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the location couldn't have been more convenient since it was just a short walk from our hotel. A solid option if you're staying nearby or looking for a nice lunch spot before an event.

We…read morewere dining late so our service was rushed, but the waiter took time to guide our selections. No staters, other than cocktails. The MAI TAI, ENVY OF ALL & the white SANGRIA were all tasty, but at $18 a piece, they should have been spectacular. Taste/presentation did NOT warrant the price tag. We are always delighted to see a WEDGE SALAD on the menu & it was just what you expect in a wedge, which never disappoints, but croutons were unnecessary. Unusual the house dressing was a peppercorn ranch for an Italian restaurant, which was heavy for the MIXED GREENS salad. The CAESER was a winner for my 16 year old son. My 91 year old mother, enjoy the CHEF SOUP, which was turkey & rice... this is high praise for one who always has soup and typically finds fault. The CHICKEN PICCATA was meh. I know this is a safe dish for people to order, but this version had no zest, choose something else. The CHICKEN CARBONARA was served with the egg yolk in the center so you stir it into the hot pasta to cook it. My son loved this presentation, made it fun and most importantly DELICIOUS. Our BEST dish was the BRAISED BONELESS SHORT RIB! When we return to KCMO, we'll definitely reorder this dish and sample some of the others. For dessert we shared the COCONUT BANANA CRÈME PIE... too bad it had whipped cream and not baked merengue.

To step through the doors of Café Provence in Prairie Village is to experience a delightful,…read moredefiant fracture in the space-time continuum. It is an exquisite temporal illusion, a portal that bypasses the predictable geometry of a suburban shopping center and deposits you squarely into a perfectly stuck-in-time Parisian brasserie on the Left Bank. For one glorious evening, the midwestern plains recede, replaced by the seductive, buttery hum of a romanticized mid-century Paris. Eating here is not merely a matter of ingestion; it is an act of total surrender. I quite literally ate all the things, embarking on a sprawling, hedonistic pilgrimage through a menu that reads like a love letter to classical French gastronomy, executed with an absolute precision that would make the most demanding Parisian chef weep into their copper pans. The atmosphere possesses that elusive, crackling energy where history feels thick and the present feels beautifully paused. One cannot help but look at the warm lighting and the intimate arrangement of tables without evoking the ghosts of the great French literary pantheon. It is the sort of room where you half-expect Albert Camus to be sitting in the corner, nursing an espresso or a deep glass of red, brooding over the beautiful absurdity of existence while quietly marveling at the perfection of his steak frites. If Camus famously posited that one must imagine Sisyphus happy, I can assure you that Sisyphus would be ecstatic if his eternal boulder were instead a giant wheel of triple-cream Brie from this kitchen. There is a profound, comforting rebellion in the restaurant's commitment to timelessness. In a modern culinary landscape obsessed with the fleeting whim of the avant-garde, Café Provence stands as a magnificent monument to the enduring truth of heavy cream, rendered fat, and impeccable technique. Our culinary odyssey began with an assortment of appetizers that set a dizzying standard for the rest of the evening. The escargots arrived swimming in an emerald sea of garlic, parsley, and butter so rich it felt like an existential revelation. Each bite was a masterclass in texture and balance, demanding to be aggressively mopped up with shards of crusty baguettes. Next came a charcuterie board that looked like a still-life painting by a French master, featuring terrines and pates that struck a perfect chord between rustic charm and refined sophistication. The french onion soup was a dark, brooding, caramelized masterpiece, blanketed in a thick, blistered layer of Gruyere cheese that stretched on like a beautiful, unending prose sentence. It was the ultimate comfort food, elevated to an art form, offering a depth of flavor that felt like a warm embrace on a chilly night along the Seine. As the main courses arrived, the kitchen continued its relentless assault on our senses. The duck confit was a revelation of physics and flavor, boasting skin so astonishingly crisp it shattered like delicate glass at the touch of a fork, yielding to remarkably tender, deeply savory meat beneath. It was accompanied by a rich reduction that tied the entire plate together in a harmonious symphony of decadence. Not to be outdone, the trout almondine was a triumph of classic restraint, the delicate fish perfectly seared and bathed in a nutty, brown-butter sauce that sang with a bright splash of lemon. Every dish that crossed the table felt like a deliberate argument against the fast-paced negligence of the modern world. The kitchen does not cut corners; they honor the slow, deliberate rituals of classical cooking, and the result is a menu where every single option feels like a definitive, unimpeachable victory. Of course, no journey to the Left Bank would be complete without a grand finale from the pastry station. We indulged in a tarte tatin that was a masterclass in caramelization, the apples softened to a luxurious consistency and perched atop a beautifully flaky, buttery pastry crust. Beside it sat a creme brulee with a sugar crust so flawlessly torched it required a satisfying, sharp tap of the spoon to break through to the velvety, vanilla-flecked custard below. To experience this level of pastry work outside the borders of France feels like a beautiful, benevolent trick. Café Provence does not just replicate the flavors of a Parisian brasserie; it captures its very soul, proving that exceptional hospitality and transcendent cooking are entirely universal languages. It is a glowing, triumphant jewel of a restaurant, and I am already plotting my inevitable return to eat all the things all over again.

I was searching for the perfect place to have our Anniversary dinner. When I saw that this was a…read morefrench cafe- I was sold. Last year on our anniversary we went to the most amazing french bistro in Vegas and really wanted to relive that experience. I knew the scenery wouldn't compare but I at least thought the food would. The food was not bad but it definitely was not great. I got the lamb. The sauce, veggies and potatoes were great. The lamb left something to be desired. I have only had lamb at one other place and that place blew this place out of the water. The lamb here was gristly and chewy, a bit dry- possibly overcooked. My husband got the filet which was covered in gravy. A good steak should never be soaked in gravy. I also googled it to see if it was a "french thing" it was not. My husband was a little frustrated with me that I made him go 45 minutes out of his way for mediocre steak. Service was average. I kept seeing this recommended for a "cozy date night". Chaotic is a better description. It is a small space with too many tables crammed in. We were literally up against a short partition that separated us from entrance . The music felt like it just added to the noise. The decor also had no flow, no rhyme or reason. It added to the chaotic feel. There was a cook painting side eyeing me lol. There were murals on the walls of scenery and they were lovely and calm but all the other random pictures, antiques, portraits distracted from the beauty and stole the calm feel that the murals offered. By reading other reviews I know it is a popular date night destination and many love it. Just not me which is why I "maybe" recommend it. I just won't be returning.

The service continues to be inconsistent at best--no patio service, long waits, and a general lack of attentiveness--but what's most frustrating is the latest beverage and menu decision. You can no longer order a single glass of wine. Instead, guests are now forced into purchasing a half bottle as the minimum entry point--starting around $25--for a very limited and underwhelming selection (Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc... and that's about it). No Pinot Grigio, no variety, no flexibility. Just a forced upsell on mediocre wine in a casual, outdoor setting. Let's be clear: You can order a single beer. You can order a single cocktail. But you cannot order a single glass of wine. In 2026, that's not just outdated--it's completely out of touch. This approach eliminates choice, discourages responsible and casual consumption, and frankly alienates a large portion of your customer base. What if someone wants just one glass? What if they want to try two different wines? That experience is gone. And the reasoning doesn't hold up. If this is about waste or throughput, there are countless modern solutions--by-the-glass preservation systems, or even high-quality boxed options like Black Box Wines that maintain freshness without forcing customers into higher spend. This feels less like a thoughtful strategy and more like a blunt, revenue-driven decision that ignores the guest experience entirely. So here's the question for leadership: Who is making these menu and beverage decisions--and how does this align with the kind of experience you claim to offer? Because from a guest perspective, this isn't hospitality. It's restriction. I'd genuinely like to hear a response from the team on this. Until then, this is a complete veto for me.

The flavors were good and the seasoning on the meat and dipping sauces stood out. The mango drink was refreshing and the appetizers like the wontons and shrimp were tasty. That said, the portions felt small for the price and it added up quickly. It is a lot of work to keep the grill going and cook everything, which makes it more of a novelty than a place I would visit regularly. Our server lingered at the table quite a bit which made things slightly awkward instead of relaxed. Overall, I would go back if someone really wanted to try it for a special occasion or for the experience, but it is not something I would make part of my everyday dining rotation.
