first I recommend making reservations only for the fact that you get a little tax to tell you where to park if plenty of parking in the back off Walnut!!! it is hidden there pretty well it's under the old Harglins bar. the decor is amazing very cozy atmosphere we said on the patio perhaps it was a bit hot to eat out there but we did. it was a nice hot day so a vino Verde and a campari drink in order. they had the roast beef sandwich and the burger the burger look delicious but I think it was a little too heavy for the heat of the day my dining companion said it was great though and the roast beef sandwich was lovely. I'll definitely go back to try the other dishes I just didn't want in the heat. I know there were some comments about the expense of the menu I didn't find it horribly expensive but I would like to try the risotto and the French onion soup and of course mussels. just as a note I love the size of the menu not too big but has enough choices!! read more

Tailleur is one of those places that instantly charms you - the warm, polished atmosphere makes a great first impression. And to be fair, the food lived up to the hype. Our Double Royale burger was beautifully executed and great quality. The beef rigatoni was rich, indulgent, and unlike anything I've had before. If this were a food-only review, Tailleur would be an easy five stars. Unfortunately... the service told a very different story. From the moment our server spilled my Diet Coke (served in a can, which felt odd for an upscale spot) and didn't attempt to clean it up, things felt off. My beef tartare starter took so long that both the server and a manager came by to apologize, assuring us it would be comped and out shortly. Instead, our mains arrived first, and by the time the tartare finally appeared, it felt like an afterthought we no longer had the appetite or opportunity to enjoy. The timing issues didn't stop there. I ordered the much-praised carrot cake to go, only to wait another 20 minutes with multiple "it'll be right out" check-ins. When the bill arrived, the tartare wasn't actually comped, so that needed another correction. We didn't complain once--honestly hoping things would course-correct--but the service never recovered. The final disappointment? The famous carrot cake I was holding out hope for to save the night turned out to be a dry, overcooked brick when I finally opened it back at my hotel. Tailleur clearly has talent in the kitchen, but the service missteps overshadowed what could have been a wonderful meal. With so many great restaurants in Kansas City, it's hard to justify a return when the experience felt this uneven. read more

The service was great and the restaurant was pretty. I liked the pear & Brie, but found a plastic in the dish. We notified the staff which they took care of it. The salmon fettuccine could be little bit better, the noodles seems little over cooked, but the salmon was cooked perfectly. read more

No special event needed to eat at this amazing restaurant with fabulous food, cocktails, tall ceilings, great lighting, decor of antiques with equestrian touches. There are 2 floors and both are visually stimulating. Started our evening with French 75 cocktails while reading the menus. Went directly to entrees ordering the Coulotte Steak, very tender, the Sakara Pork Chop served off the bone, so delicious and a side of Butter Beans which I've never had, they were so good and even better the next day ( ps the B52's have a song titled Butter Beans!). Chef Jeff Workman story sounds very similar to famous Chef Jamie Oliver. When he was younger he learned to cook from watching TV while is mom worked as a hair dresser. Later in life he worked at a restaurant as a dishwasher, asked to start on the line as a position was open where he quickly caught on. He's now the chef! Enjoy! read more

Tricky to find, 2 doors down from the theater. Easy parking in back and you can just go through the back patio entrance. The interior is quaint and subdued. Soft lighting if you want to escape from the sun and the world outside. Extensive wine selection and even if they don't have one for paring they substitute with something else. Top notch. Start with the cauliflower, which is very unique and the sauce is incredible. The burger was rich and smooth. The duck was a nice sized portion and the flavor - wow. If you dip in the sauce it takes to a new level. Carrot cake was rich as expected. The icing was extra rich I would say decadent. If you wonder about the cake, it definitely is real because you can see bits of carrots and the cake. Overall, great experience, look forward to going back, maybe eating outside on the patio and the weather is nicer. Service was incredible. read more

As soon as I walked in I thought wow this place is so pretty and elegant with lots of flowers spaced here and there. Love the vibe! My friend and I had reservations and got seated right away. The server took our order and the food came out pretty quick. She kept checking on us throughout the time we were here. I ordered the mussels which were very flavorful. Just wish they were a little bigger, no big deal though. We shared the peaches and brie. So good and creamy. The peaches were a great addition to the brie. It came with grilled focaccia. I could've eaten a couple orders of this. I also ordered the cauliflower. I've never tasted cauliflower quite like this. Very good although I was kind of full, so didn't eat much and took the rest home. It was very good the next day. We split the crème brûlée. Nice crunchy top and very smooth custard. Great addition with the raspberries. It might be the best crème brûlée I've ever had. I loved everything but my favorite was the peaches and brie. I'd really like to come back here and try other things on the menu. I totally forgot to take a pic of the mussels. Oops read more

We were very excited to try this place out. It was an odd experience. We showed up for our reservation and our table was not ready. No big deal, we went across the street to the sister bar to wait and have a drink there. They were kind enough to call us when our table was ready so we headed back over. I ordered three different drinks before they clarified that they don't have any bar, they pre-batch their cocktails every night and do not keep any liquor so they can't even do a simple gin and tonic. Weird but fine, all the pre made drinks are super sweet and I'm not a wine fan. They only had six beers too so drink options are limited if wine is not your thing. The food was hit or miss. The brie came out cold (not sure how that happened) and the toast with it had no flavoring. The roasted cauliflower was delicious, I highly recommend it. The sauce was great with a good amount of garlic and salt. The steak tartare was also a great pick. I got the steak for my main and it was the most under seasoned steak I've ever had. My partner got the duck and it was some of the best duck I've ever had. read more

This was a really tough place to rate. It's a cool space, the service was friendly and attentive, things that are really hard to get right were absolutely nailed, but... the things that should be basic for a restaurant like this were really disappointing. First, the good. The Steak Tartare was very tasty, and the housemade potato chips were such a smart vehicle for it. Added a wonderful salty crunch which paired beautifully! Then the Cauliflower... I am tepid on cauliflower, and when it came out as a full head I was skeptical, but man, was it perfect. Roasted beautifully, and the sauce with it was incredible. Likely the best version of Cauliflower that I've ever had. Finally, the Duck. Duck is always a risky proposition, if it's not done right it's pretty bad, but this came with a "brown butter mustard" that intrigued me enough to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. It was one of the best duck dishes I've had, and that's saying something. Now, the bad. Our table wasn't ready when we got there for our reservation, which is no biggie, busy Saturday night. But when the host asked us to have a drink at their sister bar (Cheval) across the street instead of having one there, I was a little confused. We soon learned why. When we were sat and our server asked for our drink order, we asked for a lemon drop martini and were told they couldn't do it. We asked for a different drink, and the server said they couldn't do that, either. She then explained that they pre-batch their cocktails and do not have a full-service bar, which was confusing since they have one across the street... Then, the Toasted Brie. The flavor was good, but it came our barely warm- that's a big miss for a place like this. Finally, the Coulotte Steak- while cooked to the temp we requested- was shockingly bland. It barely had any normal, beefy steak flavor which was very disappointing. I would give this 3.5 stars if I could, because the good was great. But I couldn't go with 4 because, as I said earlier, stuff that should be staples were huge let-downs. They had a lot on the menu that sounded fantastic, and the good was good enough for me to try some other dishes, and I just hope that they are the hits. read more

Cute restaurant, with a smaller menu, kinda on the pricer side for me & husband! But it was perfect for a date night in KC (from Omaha)! I ordered the burger with side salad. My husband got the steak & Freetz! He was obsessed, the main reason we came here! The inside was beautiful, it was HOT outside and HOT inside, we were sweating for our entire meal so that was a bit uncomfortable, but tolerable. The booths were short & small, not the most comfortable. Server was amazing and on top of everything. I would highly recommend reservations, it is a small space. There is street parking & a parking lot in the back! read more

This was our first time here and will definitely be back Service was great It is dark inside but not too dark. Decor was fitting and I loved it Drinks were good. Husband had a rye manhattan that was good Food was excellent. We ranked everything either 9 or 10 out of 10 and we typically don't enjoy French food. (Don't come for me) The butterscotch dessert was divine. Maybe this is because no one in my family likes butterscotch so when I get it I feel like it's a treat. Get the salmon tartare and the focaccia. We will be back. read more

I'm grateful that they offer afternoon tea in the city! The price is reasonable ($75pp), and the eats are very good. I visited with friends for such during the holidays, and the team could not be any more hospitable. I was only in town for the weekend, and I ended up calling to see what availability they had to place seating together for my party (as you can only book online), only for them to actually find seating and a time that the booking system didn't account for. There isn't a large variety of teas to choose from, but the teas offered are very good and are unique. I had the Moroccan mint, which went perfectly with the delicious finger foods. Of the foods, the sandwiches were my favorite; you will definitely leave full if you eat everything that is offered. Lastly, the ambiance and decor was perfect for a high tea, but I do with that there was a designated place to put up heavy / winter coats, as they take up a lot of space when it comes to seating. I hope they keep this service around! read more

Had a very great experience at Tailleur. The Steak and Frites that I got was out of this world! The green sauce that they put onto of the steak just added an additional level of goodness to the meal. I wish I had more of it! The steak was cooked perfectly and you could tell the quality of the meat was high. The service was above what you would have at a regular sit down restaurant. The restaurant is very scenic as you look around at all the things on the walls. People around us would ask waiters to take picture for them which they were happy to do. The only two negatives I had was the place was pretty hot. I left sweating by the end of my meal. The booths were also pretty small for larger people. Once people behind us left I moved their booth chair away to give us more room which helped a lot. Those two things aside, I loved my experience and the food at Tailleur. read more

Tailleur offers an afternoon tea service every last Saturday of the month. They had a nice selection of both savory and sweet treats that you'd typically find on a tea menu. They also have cocktails and champagne for additional cost. Overall fun time and nice treat. The tea itself could be stronger and we felt it was an overlooked item, especially being that it is a tea after all. Note, the gratuity is already added on. read more

I walked into this restaurant at lunch on a Friday without a reservation. It wasn't busy, however - just a few tables inside on the main floor had customers. I had heard it was a "Modern French" restaurant that was enjoyable and I was investigating to see if it would be good for an upcoming dinner for a friend's retirement. I don't think this restaurant is actually French. French chefs value the ingredients and are experts at technique. While the creme brûlée was fine (although, to be honest, the caramelized top was a little too dark in places), the main dishes were heavy handed on one hand and poorly prepared on the other. The cauliflower was smothered with an excessively heavy sauce. I love capers, but there were so many capers that they must have dumped an entire container into the pan. I ordered the salmon in addition, since it seemed to be a common item to lunch and dinner menus, and I typically love salmon. They noted it would be done "medium." It looked good on the plate, but it proved to be rarer than medium rare. I couldn't eat a good third of it. (I am not someone who eats dry, overdone fish, and I love sushi, but this is not an instance in which sushi should be a comparison.) In addition, the glass of wine was served in a vintage flute - which did not hold the typical number of ounces that a $13 pour normally should be. The decor here is dramatically lovely with artfully mismatched antique dining tables upstairs and a gorgeous bar. The back patio would be inviting on a cool evening. I had excellent service from waitstaff. But the food - let's just say I will not be steering my family or my friends to eat here. There are a variety of great French restaurants in KC (Cafe Provence, Aixois, Le Fou Frog) that even top those in other cities. This isn't one of them. read more

New chef, same great experience. Our second time here, I was excited to celebrate our anniversary here as our first time dining here was unforgettable. As we were getting checked in, the host was transparent about their new chef and menu, but I wasn't phased. To drink, I really loved their old fashioned. Very well done. To start, we had the focaccia bread which was delicious. For my entree, I had the scallops. I've only had scallops once before, so I'm no expert, but I don't think I could have enjoyed it more. The texture of the scallops was great and the way it paired with the flavors of the brussel sprouts, bacon, and grits was truly fantastic. On top of the outstanding food, I'm a fan of the atmosphere as well. They have their own unique style in cultivating a classy atmosphere and have the nice options of patio as well as upstairs and downstairs seating. I like their intimate tables for 2-4 but I would say they could accommodate your party of 8-10 if that's what you're looking for (I would say you need to make a reservation for that though). read more

A late dinner for us first-timers at this French bistro. We were late for our reservation but called ahead to let them know. We were warmly greeted upon arrival. The restaurant has two floors for dining. My mind is playing tricks on me as I believe there were a few sidewalk tables, too. Bathrooms are on the first floor. Interesting interior design that focused horseback riding. Dark colors. We dined upstairs. Started with the focaccia. It was too salty for both of us although we understand the popularity. We both chose the 6oz steak frites teres major. My steak was perfectly cooked to medium as requested. Loved those skinny, shoestring fries cooked in beef tallow. She overheard someone say their steak was chewy but we had no complaints. We shared the crème brûlée. It was good; not too sweet. She had a Hugo spritz; there isn't a formal bar. It's more of a wine-focused restaurant. There is validated parking in the rear but my date overlooked it. We parked in a strip lot one block north. She enjoyed the experience but wanted a full cocktail bar. And a more visible exterior sign. LOL Staff were friendly and professional. I got the impression the diners were regulars. More than monthly. Just a feeling. We would return. Highly recommended (solid 4.5). read more

We visited Tailleur for one of their high tea events before Christmas. No other way to describe it than it felt like we were temporarily transported from Kansas City to Europe for an exquisite afternoon high tea. From start to finish the experience was magical. The restaurant itself feels like a step back into vintage Europe and as we walked by the pastry counter it felt like being in a French patisserie with towering displays of macaroons and cakes. From vintage tea cups and pots to a tower of sweet and savory pastries and finger sandwiches to attentive waitstaff, they nailed every part of this experience and made it a truly decadent afternoon! The tea is a limited event they do every so often so you have to watch out for reservations. It is on the pricier side, but we felt the overall experience was so unique that it was worth it. read more

Went for afternoon tea. The tea was lacking and after multiple refreshes of the teapot to get the water hot enough to actually steep the tea, it still was not hot enough. Sandwiches and pastries were decent, I liked about half of what was served and I'm not picky at all. Sandwiches just didn't seem fresh. The ambiance was great and the decor was interesting to look at. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. Besides the alcohol that was ordered, the price for the food and tea was absolutely outrageous considering what we were given.

We had such a romantic date at Tailleur in midtown. The lowlights and decor help create an intimate, charming space. Stephanie - our waitress, was so helpful and attentive the entire night. The menu had many excellent options to choose from, but not too many where it overwhelms you. I don't eat French food as often but I definitely want to now! My seasonal mocktail, duck breast and the focaccia bread were my absolute favorite. We will definitely be back for future date nights here. read more

If you haven't been to Tailleur (pronounced Taylor) yet, put it on the TOP of your Kansas City list. From the team behind The Russell, Tailleur brings European comfort food to Midtown. I asked my coworker if she wanted to go to France for lunch and she said, of course! So here we were enjoying frites, french onion soup, and smoked salmon toast in what could only be classified as a European cafe with acquired antiques including riding equipment ready for a polo match. Upstairs acts as overflow - although it hardly feels second class - and is also for private parties - and RUMORED high teas in the future? (yes please!). And, of course - my favorite part - I can't wait to come back for happy hour or dinner on their outdoor patio. read more

We had been wanting to come here for a while because the restaurant looked interesting and different. It's cozy with an old school antique feel. You can choose to dine upstairs or on the main level. Upstairs was dark, sort of an attic feel to it, so we dined downstairs. We ordered a bottle of wine and the cost on our bill was more than what was listed on the menu. We ordered 1/2 dozen oysters and the server couldn't tell us anything about them (where they're from, size, briney or not). She said she doesn't eat oysters. Would not recommend the oysters. We each ordered the grilled caesar and beef rigatoni. The caesar didn't come with dressing, we had to ask for it. It was good once we had dressing. The rigatoni pasta was cooked well, but the sauce was disappointing. It was a little tart, which was strange. Maybe because the sauce was all onion and bell peppers, little to no beef. There was SO much onion they should really call it onion rigatoni. We had the butterscotch pot de creme for dessert which was good. Our server was nice but she didn't have much knowledge of the menu. And someone who looked like a manager brought us the dessert but he had a strange pretentious air to him. Then another guy came over later and asked how our dining experience was then told us to wrap it up because he had a line of people waiting. We looked up front and there was only a single couple, and we had only been dining for just over an hour. I'm glad we tried this place but I don't think we'd go back, especially for the amount of money we spent. read more

We had a great dining experience all around. From the minute we walked in we were greeted warmly by staff. Dave was GREAT. We had fun time joking around with him all evening. He and Mark checked in on us frequently. Our server, Jake was so sweet and did a great job. There was a small miscommunication with one of the meals. They quickly took it away and remade it. They also threw in a tequila shot to compensate for the bit of extra wait time. It was a wonderful evening celebrating two friends birthdays and we all, of course, will be returning and recommending! read more

Food may be the best fine dining in KC available right now. Elegant and charming ambience and the service is second to none.

When I lived in Westport, I used to go for walks on Main Street and gawk in the windows of Tailleur at the ambiance. Thankful for my girlfriend who finally took me inside. To start, do you live in fear of going to businesses on Main Street because of the endless construction and lack of street parking? Never fear, there's a lot behind the building with ample parking! I felt like I stepped into an episode of period piece about a fancy rich family who are big into horses. The vibes inside are incredible. Every design choice from the massive ghostly up-lit wedding dressing and riding boots above the host stand to the elegantly mismatched plates and silverware is perfection. We sat downstairs, which I think was the right choice because it wasn't too loud and I could peak into the kitchen through a tiny window. The food was immaculate. If there's one thing I'm going to do, it's order every small plate on the menu. The stunt-meat entrees (massive lobster tail!!) and gorgeous sandwiches all looked delectable, but I think you'll miss out if you skip the apps. The mussels were to die for - warm and spicy in the back of the throat. I wish I could swim in the broth. Perfectly sweet-and-savory ricotta toast with a surprisingly big portion! Crisp and herbaceous arancini! Save room because there's a dessert trio option and you will want to try the desserts. I have been to Enchanté, Tailleur's sister bakery across the street, and I was blown away, so I had high expectation-- that were met and dare I say exceeded. The sticky toffee pudding is a must, and the seasonal bread pudding was a showstopper. Amazing experience! Can't wait to come back! read more
