    Highly recommend sitting at the bar with Chan for a night cap and a quick bite. The drink was made to perfection and Chan takes pride in the patron's entire experience. I observed her greet each person with a smile. All staff was warm and the you could feel the good vibes amongst the team.

    Food was amazing! We had a long wait on food but it was worth the wait! Drinks were also very good! Overall decent experience! Not super busy!

    Fried Ravioli and Bruschetta at Tavernona yum

    The food was fantastic. We had appetizers (fried Ravioli and Bruschetta) both were really good. I think my favorite dish was the Caprese Salad the way it was done was a fun twist and SO DELICIOU. For our main course we had lamb chop and the blackened seafood tortellini. Both were good but the pasta was def better. Highly recommend it. Great food and service.

    Executive Chef Dominic has the best pasta I've tasted in KC...the flavors were everything!!

    Solid choice. Had the KC Burger and was pleasantly surprised. Good flavor, sweet (not too much though) and savory. Actually ordered the same meal two nights in a row while staying at the Hotel Phillips for a conference.

    I stopped here because it's a fancy bar in a fancy hotel Hotel Philips that I was staying at to have an adult cocktail. The place serves food which I didn't try because KC it has to be Bbq. The place is very nice and upscale looking which matches the 20 story almost 100 year old hotel that it's connected to. The decor is white tile and dark brown broken up with light wood accents, nice looking place. The blond woman did a great job and my service had no issues at all. The drink menu had a drink I don't think that I have ever seen before called salted Carmel wave which is Tom's town bourbon, Gifford vanilla, five farms Irish cream, kosher salt, Carmel with a salty Carmel rim. OMG this cocktail was absolutely fu#&ing delicious and would make the perfect after dinner desert cocktail. Overall this was a nice place to relax and enjoy a great cocktail and I should have went back and tried something else on the drink menu.

    I came here for breakfast while staying at the hotel and overall had a good experience. When I'd stayed here several years ago, they had a buffet type setup, but now it's more of a sit-down type experience. The server was great and she let us know they were short staffed and that it would take some time. I appreciated her letting us know that but since we weren't in a rush, we decided to wait it out. Another table got up and left and were kind of snotty to the server, even though it wasn't her fault that a lot of restaurants are struggling for help these days. I'm glad we waited because my breakfast was delicious. First, I loved the coffee and even short staffed they kept our mugs full. Then the breakfast itself was perfection. Eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast isn't hard but believe me, it can be screwed up. But here, everything was elevated. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and buttery. The bacon was crisp without being burnt and the toast was still hot when I got it. The potatoes were also great...I loved how thin they sliced them and the seasoning was amazing. I give credit to the chef and the servers for taking what could have been a negative experience and turning it around. The fact that they were open and communicated the challenges was a major plus in my book.

    Expensive, ambiance 5/10, food quality and taste 5/10 When you pay $17 for salad, $15 for soup, $12 for dessert, and $50 for entree + tax and tip, you expect way more out of the restaurant than just okay service and food quality of any hotel chain room service. I'm a local living 5min away walking and I will not be back to Tavernonna((( Im glad i've tried them during restaurant week, so I paid $55 for 4 courses, because otherwise I would be a lot more disappointed with the taste

    Wow! We were in KC for just the night and stayed in the Power and Light area and had no knowledge of restaurants. Decided on Tavern Onna and am so glad we did. The drinks were great, the appetizer was fantastic and our entree of Carbonara was outstanding. We highly recommend!

Drinks we got: - No Fly Zone - Off the Rails - Mr. Collage - Mescal Espresso Martini I got a cocktail caviar bump which - YES! Appetizer burritos complimented everything.

    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.

We went all out and sampled a ton from the menu: fried lobster tail, pepperoni pizza, spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, wagyu Nagiri, oysters with caviar, and wagyu sliders. 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.
