Also I ordered the Lavender + Lemon Moctail which had real lavenders in the glass for a touch of authentic and deliciousness. Lana took out our orders and our food arrived on time and warm.

If I could give this more than five stars I would. This place is incredible. First off I highly…read morerecommend making reservations cause it seems like a pretty popular upscale place. The design of the restaurant is gorgeous. It is open concept with big beautiful windows and a ton of natural light, but it still feels so elevated but not too elevated that you can't wear jeans but elevated enough that you could wear heels. I saw people dressed casual in there, and I saw people dressed in suits. I highly recommend sitting at the chef's table, which is the counter that belly's right up to the chefs that are cooking right out in the open. It is the coolest experience to watch their every move and listen to them communicate with each other. You do not feel any heat off of the grill or the stove because of the way it's set up. You just get to watch them make their magic. I expected this place to be overly priced because it is so nice but honestly, the prices are great. For the experience and for the food, I was more than happy with the pricing. The hospitality there is top-notch from the second you walk in and every minute after that, you feel like you are paid attention to and that you matter. You feel like all of the staff are grateful for you but not in an overbearing way just in a very appreciative way. This restaurant truly understands that the customers are what keep them in business. We had a 5 PM reservation on a Saturday night. Like I said, we ate at the chefs table. As soon as we sat down, the owner came up and greeted us and shook our hands, introduced himself and introduced us to all of the chefs that were cooking. I noticed he did that with everybody at the chefs table, so it was such a cool experience. Then he brought us out a little sample to try that isn't on the menu and that was super nice. He checked on us a couple of times after that. In between him checking on us, we had the nicest waiter checking on us. He was more than a waiter. He was like a concierge of the restaurant. He knew about every dish and every drink and could give us very specific details about it and help us decide what we would like. Now to the food, wow I mean wow. Check out my pictures for what we ordered. We cannot wait to go back.

The food was good, but I wouldn't say completely outstanding for the price point. I appreciate the farm to table type approach and that's what males need really want to love the place. But the food just missed the mark for the price. Good.... But not outstanding as I would have expected. The drinks were really good and were something different than the normal which I really appreciated. The service was also something that was little awkward. It wasn't bad service, but a very long descriptions of things, back story, etc. when we needed more drinks, we kind of had to flag out waitress down. Again, nothing terrible...we were taken care of fine - but I think when you compare how much it costs vs. what the expectations were - it just overall missed slightly. I am open to giving it another try.

I got the same beer as last time (Buffalo Sweat) and I honestly believe that this is my most favorite beer ever. And the green beans were still voted my husbands favorite food this trip. We brought more people with us this time and everyone really enjoyed it. Along with the fried green beans, we added the fried mushrooms and hummus. Both were very good. My brother got the french dip and I got the Uncle Tony. We split the sandwiches and both had a side salad. Again, I wasn't super impressed with the sandwiches (at least not to the extent of the green beans) but it was still tasty. We come to Wichita every other year. It looks like this is going to become a tradition to include a meal at the Monarch. Highly recommend!

I am writing to bring to your attention a deeply concerning experience my family and I had at your…read morerestaurant. My wife, our toddler, and I visited Newport Grill for dinner, but we were forced to leave due to the extremely unprofessional behavior of our waiter. When we advised the waiter that the appetizer we received was not what we had ordered, his response was highly unprofessional. He went too far when he involved my young daughter in the situation, to the point where I felt it was best forme and my family to leave the restaurant immediately. I do want to mention that the on-duty manager was very apologetic and handled the situation with the utmost professionalism. We went ahead and paid for the food we had received before leaving. However, the waiter's conduct was entirely unacceptable, especially regarding how he interacted with our child. I hope this matter will be addressed appropriately with the staff member involved.

Public at the Brickyard was one of the highlights of our time in Wichita. After spending the day…read moreexploring Tanganyika Wildlife Park, we wanted a relaxing dinner within walking distance of our hotel, and this locally owned restaurant was exactly what we were hoping to find. The first surprise was the size of the restaurant. From the street, it looks fairly modest, but once inside, it opens into a beautiful historic warehouse with exposed brick, an industrial feel, and a lively atmosphere. I also loved discovering the large outdoor patio tucked away behind the building--it would be a fantastic place to enjoy live music on a future visit. We ordered the baby back ribs, which had just been introduced to the menu that evening, and they were incredible. The meat was tender enough to fall right off the bone, the baked beans had just the right amount of spice, and the fries rounded out a great comfort meal. I also enjoyed trying a local cider on tap, and we couldn't resist finishing with the Key Lime Pie Crème Brûlée, which was absolutely delicious. What really stood out was how relaxed the experience felt. Even though the restaurant was busy, we never felt rushed. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it was the perfect place to unwind after a full day of adventure. If you're visiting Wichita, especially if you're staying in Historic Old Town, I highly recommend adding Public at the Brickyard to your itinerary. Great food, genuine hospitality, and a wonderful example of supporting local Kansas producers make this a restaurant I'll gladly return to on my next visit.

We went the day of the garlic festival so I got the fish sandwich from their food truck outside.. it was super fishy, a total throw away. We also got the burnt ends... so dry.

We loved the mimosas, and our server was wonderful! I also didn't realize they had a little room for celebrations, which was such a nice surprise. My only complaint was the reservation process. I called several days in advance and had a hard time getting someone to answer. I wanted an 11 a.m. reservation, but by the time I finally reached someone on Sunday, we could only get in at 12:30. Brunch ended at 2, and while there was still food available, a lot of the buffet trays looked nearly empty when we arrived. That was disappointing, especially after trying to reserve an earlier time. Overall, the food, service, and birthday celebration were great! I just wish making the reservation had been easier and the buffet had been fuller for guests arriving later.

Then we get to all the things that really matter if you are a restaurant and NOT a catering venue. Training-why is your server not trained well on how to interact when there is a speaker/leader who is talking when she decides to interrupt? Why is the food so focused on being smashed into a shape that fits inside the rim of the plate? It almost seemed as if they stacked all our plates full of food on top of each other (I don't think they did that?), without covers, because my meal came compacted, shaped and stuffed into the plate...very unappetizing. The food wasn't terrible, but it was cold and put on the plate based upon a list and and photos...not by anyone who ever considered that an actual SOUL was going to have to PUT IT IN THEIR MOUTH.... So 5 stars for room 3 stars for service (she was really nice) 2 stars for food Averages out to 3! If you aren't going for a meeting or party-it might be different!
