We have been here a few times, and have always enjoyed our time here. The food was great. We got the Mojo set and it paired well with the meat and vegetables we ordered. The service was excellent. Our waiter constantly came by to check on us and make sure we never were without water. They went the extra mile for us, replacing a burnt out candle for us as well. Atmosphere was also good. Whatever the playlist they have for their music, I love it! If you're looking for a good place to eat on the plaza, definitely recommend the Melting Pot.

Josh took the time to chat with us and after we told him about our car wreck the day before he made sure that our experience was exactly what we needed it to be. I know it's a chain, but the service is what you would expect from a family-owned local place. Not to mention, the food was amazing, absolutely wonderful and healed our spirits. I hope Josh and Chase always have green lights, their pillows are always cool, blankets always warm, and coffee always the perfect temperature down to the last drop. That's just how great the service was. Chase even replaced the burnt out candle on our table! Chase sure was on the case! This wasn't just great service, this was an experience. So incredibly worth it!

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!

I'd like to give a HUGE thank-you to the folks at Andre's for saving my Christmas!…read moreI wanted to buy chocolates for my best friend and realized (on Christmas Eve) that not all chocolates are gluten-free. My friend has celiac disease, so it's important to me to ensure my gifts to her meet her dietary restrictions. I checked online and discovered that almost all of Andre's chocolates are gluten-free and--better yet--they were open on Christmas Eve until 4 pm. So I dashed over after work, arriving at 3:40, and the folks behind the counter were all so kind and so helpful. I explained what I needed and they showed me the ready-made boxes of chocolates available--but then offered to put one together for me right then, to make sure that we chose exactly what she wanted and that every chocolate was gluten-free. They guided me through the choices, telling me the flavors that were in some of the selections, and giving their recommendations based on my friend's tastes. How nice of them!! I walked out close to the stroke of 4 pm, with the perfect box of chocolates in a lovely gift box. Hurray!! I really appreciate the staff's kindness, and going the extra distance for my friend, at the very end of their work day before the holiday started. Thank you SO much to everyone at Andre's, and Merry Christmas!

KC Restaurant Week 2026 This was my first time visiting…read moreTrezo Mare and I'll definitely be returning, it's a great option for semi-formal dining in Braircliff. We went for later lunch and this place was crowded with diners, always a good sign. The lunch restaurant week menu really intrigued me because it was one of the 3 course options for $20. First course- luscious butternut squash soup One of my all time favorite soups and this one didn't disappoint, I love the autumnal flavors of this soup. The nuttiness shined through the silky smooth soup filled with the richness of cream. It was seasoned wonderfully balancing the inherent sweetness with the right amount of salt and herbs. I would drink this soup up by the gallon. Second course- Classic Chicken Picatta I loved how light this dish was, instead of being breaded it was tender moist chicken, yes it may look a little anemic but it wasn't lacking flavor. The bright lemon caper sauce brought like to the chicken. The abundance of capers made me so happy, they provided a tangy briny profile. The smooth as butter mashed potatoes just soaked up that succulent sauce and every bite had such a luscious mouth feel. This was an elevated comfort dish. Dessert- crème brûlée Now I'm not a dessert girl so I'm not a crème brûlée connoisseur but, it had a nice crackly sugar shell with a decadent eggy custard. The ripe berries were simple but added freshness to richness of the custard.

Odd. We appreciated the heads up however, I feel like they were really wanting us to turn around and leave as the restaurant seemed overwhelmed. We stayed as it was too late in day to go elsewhere. The kitchen was indeed backed up, no silverware provided had to ask, and our server said to order right away if we wanted to get our food. They were out of some items. Took 45 minutes for food to arrive. However, the staff was apologetic, even though it took awhile to be served the meal itself was acceptable --the pork chop, surf and turf, braised meat, and pizza were all hits. Server had to confirm with kitchen if they were still serving dessert, we were able to order. The desserts consisted of banana coconut pie which basically pudding & bananas in a bowl, tiramisu, and Keylime, all were just okay not worth $. The patio is beautiful and perfect for a nice day. It is very expensive, so we'll save it for special personal occasions not a national holiday/special day, but the food quality makes it worth a return visit.

Nice warming fireplace in the back room.

She was friendly, attentive, efficient, and really knowledgeable about the menu. She gave us great recommendations when we (especially me) were deciding on main courses and drink pairings. Our food came out quickly, exactly as we had ordered, and Jody checked back frequently to ensure we had everything we needed and were enjoying our meals. My friend had the fresh fish special (bass) which she said was absolutely top-notch, and I had the crepe au poulet, which was delicious! We shared the beet salad as a starter (which Jody thoughtfully brought out on two plates), and it was really tasty and a perfect beginning to our meal. We finished up with French press coffees (of course!), which was spot-on perfect, and were able to take our time and savor the moment of having finished a really well-made lunch. Many thanks again to everyone at Cafe Provence, from the kitchen to the front-of-house, for such a marvelous meal. We'll continue to return because we know it will always be a great experience!

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 menu was trying to be too fancy and not executing well. We were served family style, but the portions were way too small. Most of us went out for dinner afterwards because we were still hungry (and this wasn't a group that eats a lot). The chicken was boney and lacked meat. The pork was lacking in flavor. The cheese croquettes were the highlight, I think we would happily have eaten more of those. The desserts were tasty too, with the cheesecake being my favorite. I'd like to come back and try the regular menu, and get seated upstairs. The vibe seems better up there. Good service, decent food.
