    This restaurant is EXTREMELY mid... If you are from KC, you more than likely have heard of this place. It is severely overhyped. Nothing about it stood out. When you eat the food you think to yourself, "it's ight but it's not good and it's nothing different than anything else you've ever had. In addition the service was absolutely terrible, I genuinely believe we saw our server twice, once when they took our order and another when they brought out the check. Not even a water re-fill...overall MID I'd give it a 2 1/2 out a 5 if I could. Hopefully it gets better in the future but this time wasn't it.

    My friend and I stopped in here for a quick bite to eat. It's a great space, very fun and has an upbeat vibe. Every staff members was friendly and helpful. We split the Mexican Street Corn Fritters which were amazing!! My taco had great flavor but was a little light on the mahi-mahi. That said, I would definitely order it again. My only wish would be that they offered a round of complimentary chips & salsa. We didn't have drinks but would love to come back for happy hour.

    Queso Con Chorizo

    We had the best time here! The restaurant has a fun, surf/beach type decor. We were greeted warmly as soon as we arrived and taken to a booth. It happened to be Happy Hour, so margaritas were $2 off. My frozen/blended margarita was amazing! We got the queso con chorizo as an appetizer. The cheese was creamy and the spicy chorizo was tasty. We did not leave any queso behind! My husband and I both got tacos. He got a Hot Fried Chicken taco, a Mango Habanero Shrimp taco, and a Spicy Chorizo taco. I tried the chorizo taco and it was spicy as promised, and very good! I ordered a Mango Habanero Shrimp taco, a Carnitas taco, and a Fried Baja Fish Taco. Every taco was unique and flavorful. I would order all of them again! We come to Kansas City several times a year, and we will most definitely be back for more tacos.

    We can in here for a quick appetizer and drinks as we wait for reservation next door. It's was early dinner time. Plenty of open tables. Hostess seated us right away. But it took us quite a while to get service. In fact, we had to ask the hostess again if there was a waitress. Once we got service, food came out right away. Looks like they have a pretty good drinks/cocktail menu. Food not too pricey. Chips come with two different salsa, spicy and mild. We ordered street taco, Ala cart. It would be a good place to come hang out with friends and have some margaritas. 3-stars for service not on par.

    Lobster Taco and Mahi Taco

    We really liked everything we got here! We got the Mexican street corn fritters and those weee delicious! Highly recommend. We have never had anything quite like that. We also got the queso con chorizo. It was also very good! A couple at our table both got drinks and they liked them. They were decorated nicely. One got the mahi and lobster tacos and he enjoyed both of those. Overall great vibes!

    Just a spicy margarita, nothing special, tastes like a mix

    We were here from St Louis. Frequent flyers to the soulard location, so we were so excited to come in, especially for the margaritas. Unfortunately they are not what they use to be. They use to rattle these drinks for 30 seconds plus ending with the most delicious frothy cold marg I've ever had. This one today , the spicy marg tastes just like a regular mix margarita. Only rattled 6 times. We haven't decided on whether we will eat now. Super super disappointed!!!!

    Went for KCRW. Incredible experience. Top notch service. Loved the vibe of the restaurant. Plenty of open well lit seating. Vibrant bar area. But let's talk food... Dip Duo - Fire roasted poblano salsa and their signature queso con cerveza with house made tortilla chips. Perfect start. The cheese dip was super tasty and of great consistency for dipping. Loved the poblano flavor of the salsa. What a great start! Tacos - 3 Tacos of your choice. I choose the carne asada, hot fried chicken and mango-hop-andero shrimp. Each had their own vibe of flavors. Standout was the carne asada with the fire from the avocado serrano sauce. Full of fresh ingredients making this taco lover happy! Churritos - 3 mini churros in cinnamon sugar served with Mexican chocolate sauce. The soft chew of the churro, the cinnamon sugar and that delicious chocolate. Simply amazing!

    I love this place. Last night we met my bestie and her wife there for dinner and as usual, everything was delicious. The service is always good, the place is clean and bright. The consistency in service and food quality is why it is a staple for us. Highly recommend the BBQ chicken taco, and love their fresh chips and salsa.

    I've driven past the Fern Bar countless times, but had never stopped in. Truthfully, I knew next to…read morenothing about it. That changed yesterday, when Diana Condori, the bar manager, was named a 2026 James Beard Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service semifinalist. As we love supporting restaurants and bars that receive that kind of recognition, my wife and I headed to Fern Bar that evening. I was especially curious what exactly a "sugarcane and agave bar" meant. We arrived around 5:30pm and found only a handful of guests inside. After congratulating the bartender who first served us, he mentioned that Diana was working that night and would stop by to meet us. During our conversation, Diana shared that she didn't even know she had been nominated. She woke up Tuesday to a call from owner Bryan Arri, who said he had big news and was coming over. Her first thought was that something terrible had happened--like the bar had burned down. Instead, he showed up with coffee and told her she was a James Beard honoree. Diana is originally from Bolivia and has lived in Kansas City most of her life, with the exception of time spent in San Francisco during the pandemic. She further refined her cocktail craft through local pop-ups in Kansas City under the name Condor's Cove. When Bryan was preparing to open Fern Bar, he reached out to bring her onto the team. The printed cocktail menu immediately reminded me of the Monarch and the Mercury Room--not surprising given Bryan's background at Manifesto and the Monarch. Thoughtful, intentional, and clearly designed for people who appreciate serious cocktails. We planned on having one or two drinks but ended up staying for three, thanks to an outstanding lineup and a memorable conversation with Diana. We tasted: * No Fly Zone - Rum, agave, pineapple foam * Mr. Collage - Smooth, elegant, egg-white cocktail * Three Negroni Lunch - Bitter, boozy, and beautifully balanced * Pendergast No. 4 - Complex and spirit-driven * It's Bananas - Banana liqueur with bright tropical notes * Off the Rails - Creative and well-executed rum/agave cocktail One downside of many cocktail-forward bars is the lack of food, but Fern Bar offers two varieties of mini burritos for $4--just enough protein to keep things balanced while indulging. Great concept, exceptional service, and truly memorable drinks. Check it out--and be sure to say hello to Diana.

Unless you want to stand by the windows with a shelf as a table like outcasts, I would suggest making a reservation. The interior is beautiful. The lights on the ceiling mimic a starry night, visible through the glass windows from the street below. To enter you'll have to meet the host outside the bar on the 1st floor (currently Jade Jaguar). The host will send you up to the Mercury room via elevator, where you will be greeted by a server who will lead you into the gorgeous space. The space has 4 couches for larger parties, a few tables for seating, about 6 bar seats and a couple shelf tables for the unprepared outsiders without reservations (us). You will also be greeted with a complimentary tiny glass of kombucha. We didn't order food, but the drinks were delicious and unique. Mercury Room is a great place to stop by on a date night. Side note: This is the first place in Kansas City where I actually felt underdressed so if you want to dress up and go somewhere with a matching atmosphere of luxury, this is the place.

This rooftop gem on the Country Club Plaza has such a youthful, energetic vibe--perfect for a milestone like this.

Most of the food was absolutely delicious! The sushi rolls stood out with their unique flavors and beautiful presentation--what a nice surprise. Our absolute favorites were the wagyu nagiri (melt-in-your-mouth incredible) and the oysters with caviar. The wagyu sliders were also a hit. That said, the fried lobster tail was a bit of a letdown--chewy and lacking the flavor punch that everything else delivered. The atmosphere is lively and fun, but heads up: it gets very loud. We were at one of those tiny cocktail tables and basically had to yell across it to chat, which made conversation a challenge during dinner. On the bright side, we scored an amazing seat with a stunning view of the Plaza. Watching the sunset while eating was magical and made the whole experience feel extra special for a birthday. Overall, great food (with just a couple minor misses), awesome vibes, top-notch service, and that unbeatable rooftop setting. I'd definitely recommend Prime Social and we'd go back in a heartbeat--maybe just bring earplugs if you're planning to talk a lot! 4 stars.
