We've been here twice now for supper. The food is very good, drinks phenom. Last night was a bit of a miss in terms of service though. Our server was great, others who wandered around filling waters and taking away plates were also amazing. I know during restaurant week their drink pairings sometimes come out at different times than the meals, but my husband got his entree way before I got mine. He was finished eating before mine showed up, and that was even after him waiting for over 5 min to start eating (he wanted to wait for me!) I ended up taking over half my entree home, as we were on a bit of a time crunch at this point. I will say the 'key lime pie' was tart and yummy but it wasn't like any I'd ever had before... another miss.

We sat at the bar since they had no open tables which was perfect. My husband got their 4 year and enjoyed it. I had Old Dog New Tricks and it was amazing perfect blend of flavors! Ordered fingerling potatoes and the pretzel. Fingerlings were delicious! Pretzel was covered in cheese and I did not love that, wish the cheese came on the side. Bar tenders were awesome! Super friendly and very helpful! We can't wait to go back!!

Restaurant week menu 2024

1/13/24- I initially came here for a pre restaurant week event, I fell in love with the overall establishment being located inside of a distillery. It was a mini museum with lots of history and you could actually see the distillery itself. The shrimp and grits that were going to be featured on their actual menu was to die for! I made it a point to add this to the list of restaurants for the week. I came back with a few friends and unfortunately some of their pallets did not align with the restaurant week or regular menu. Their regular menu catered more to bar and finger foods, not many selections on sides as well. We collectively as a group decided to dine elsewhere for food. I was bummed because I REALLY wanted the shrimp and grits! No complaints on the drinks, the KC water is what I had and I found it to be very refreshing. Service was great every one was very nice, I recommend checking this place out and I'll definitely will be back.

This is part of my favorite place to go in Kansas City: J Reiger. But my secret is to hit Monogram Lounge at Happy Hour. Everything is half off and so delicious. It's upstairs, there's an elevator or stairs. Going down???? Stairs, slide, elevator. My favorite is KC Ice Water. I've sampled it lots of places, Reiger invented it and makes it perfect. I love Monogram Lounge. It's quiet, feels high-end. Service is impeccable. Nothing is missed. My favorite food is Brussel Sprouts, and their caramel cake. The cake is not in the Happy Hour. I order it anyway. Every time. The Brussel Sprouts have bacon and maple syrup . I'm sure Reiger uses 100% maple syrup. I get a box. The server on point, on time, polite and helpful. It's another place on repeat for me.

Starting off our Friday night here. Great place to come for drinks and food. Bartenders are friendly and always provide great service when you are here. The cocktail drinks are made to perfection. I would say they have the best old fashioned in town. Come on Friday for happy hours from 4-6pm. Drinks and appetizers are about $6. This time we ordered their appetizers, it was fabulous. I would order again. Always a fun place to hang out with friends and family here. They have live music on Wednesday night. Go down the big slide at the end.

Enjoyed a delicious and fun happy hour at J. Rieger & Co. Monogram Lounge last night before heading to the Uptown Theatre to see Charlie Berens. It's such an amazing space inside the distillery, and you can reserve table or lounge seating. We reserved lounge seating, and for four of us we had a nice table with a couch on each side. The service was absolutely impeccable, without being too much. Multiple people came by to clear plates, and just add a little assistance to our server. Since the happy hour offerings were such amazing deals, we decided to try everything on the menu . We tried the Kansas City ice water, the seasonal gin and tonic, the horse feather, and the old fashioned. The appetizers were the ginormous pretzel with cheese and mustard, pork belly with polenta, roasted brussel sprouts, perfectly crispy fingerling potatoes, and burnt ends. No pictures were taken due to enjoying the moment, but I did attach the happy hour menu for reference. I would make a reservation to ensure you have seating, the place filled up quickly after 5:00. Also you can book reservations in advance for the tour of the distillery, which is a ton of fun, and do not skip the slide!

The balcony seats are old tiny flip up stadium seats with little knee room. Row 1 is crammed up so close behind the hard wood backs of the couches that no one's knees could fit and the pain became unbearable. Although the sound was great, the lighting sucked. White strobes and spotlights blasting into everyone's retinas. Also the drinks were weak and the bar lines very long. At least the staff were nice but this venue is awful. I'd travel to another city and see the same band in a better venue.

We drove over an…read morehour to Kansas City specifically to see Dolewite, purchased VIP tickets, and paid for a hotel for the night. This was a planned night out that we were genuinely excited about. My husband was removed from the venue for "swaying" a few times on the dance floor. That was it. No aggression, no disruption, no intoxicated behavior, no confrontation. He has severe knee issues and was simply shifting his weight while standing and enjoying the music. Instead of checking in or handling the situation with any kind of discretion or compassion, security immediately escalated it and kicked us out entirely. It was humiliating, unnecessary, and completely ruined our night. We lost our VIP experience, the show we traveled for, and the money spent on tickets and lodging. There was absolutely no attempt to understand the situation or treat us like paying customers. This could have been handled in a respectful way, but it was not. Unfortunately, we will not be returning, and I would caution others that security here seems overly aggressive and unwilling to use basic judgment. A night that was meant to be fun turned into an awful memory. Side note: We did not drive , we took uber to and from hotel. It was an expensive evening-RUINED! Also , I googled voodoo lounge after we got back to hotel and the aggressive behavior seems to be a trend of theirs. Something needs to change. We had a lady directly in front of us thrashing about and spilling her drink ALL OVER THE FLOOR and she was left alone. Made zero sense.

I'm always scouting for new coffee shops and an iced mocha was just what I was craving for a late afternoon pick-me-up. The product: The beverage was perfect- plenty of espresso and high quality chocolate to make a great drink. The atmosphere: A very casual-elegant space with lots of wood and leather for comfy seating plus a bar with coffee / tea / cocktails. The type of place that I would love to be a regular at. Although the space was nice, as was the product, I could never return because of the nauseating presence of cigar smoke. I'm not going to blame the business since "Cigar" comes before "Coffee" in their name, I just didn't think it would affect me so greatly. I was barely able to wait inside while my beverage was prepared. I won't deduct stars since I was warned, and that's the nature of the beast. Hats off to the owners for providing a quality environment for a niche customer base - but sadly that isn't my niche. If you like or tolerate cigars - go enjoy the vibe, if you're like me - Do Not Attempt entering.

We went there before a Knucklehead's show, which allowed us to just hop down the road conveniently. So don't overlook this if you're headed to the East Bottoms for some live music. While the food was good, this will definitely be a little better ambience with a good crew, soccer game, or weekend. Food was delicious. Pork belly bites were cooked to perfection, fries perfectly crispy, the grilled cheese sandwich was still good even left over the next day!! So, so good. With that said, I took off a star because while it was empty, the bartender was not the friendliest. We were asking about the menu, deciding between choices and he was rolling his eyes and loudly sighing, like we were inconveniencing him. Meanwhile, there were zero people in the other area of the restaurant, and all of the patrons were sitting at the bar. Maybe 6-10 max? There were two of us girls. I'm not gonna say he was hired because of muscles and being good looking... But I'm going to say customer service isn't his forté, rubbed us wrong when excited to try a new place. I absolutely hate including this on reviews. But being a new restaurant on a slow night, I don't like feeling like I'm supposed to profusely apologize for sitting at the bar.

The booth behind us that showed up 20 minutes later was given the opportunity to order coffee within 5 minutes of arrival and we were passed right by. I had to stop what appears to be a manager and ask why we haven't gotten to order yet. During the 25 minute wait a waitress passed us multiple times and a manager did as well without acknowledging our table's existence. I wish I could say the food was better than the service but an hour after we were seated it still had not arrived.

Reservations are available here - not necessary but depending on the day/time, you may need to wait a bit before being seated if you don't. The restaurant is rustic with farmhouse-style (hence the name!) seating. There is plenty of natural light from their street-facing windows, and if the weather's right, they have a lovely side patio. The food portions are generous and definitely shareable if your table has a few things they'd like to try! Pictured here is the Chicken n Shortstack with a chili-maple reduction and the lemon-lime marinated watermelon. The restaurant features locally-sourced ingredients and highlights them on blackboards through the restaurant. Because of this, their menu can sometimes shift and change!
