We were able to do a walkthrough and trial run ahead of time, and they thoughtfully helped us design a layout that made perfect sense for our intimate 40-person reception. Their guidance made the entire space feel intentional, comfortable, and beautifully put together. The space itself is absolutely stunning--elevated, warm, and perfect for a smaller, more personal celebration. When we arrived after our ceremony, the room flip was seamless and everything was exactly as planned. But what truly set Verdigris apart was the service. The staff was phenomenal--attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our night special. Every detail was handled with care, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy the evening with our guests. We reserved the space for three hours, and it was 100% worth it. If you're considering hosting a private event--especially a wedding reception or intimate gathering--this is the place to do it. We would choose Verdigris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.

Stumbled upon this beautiful bar after a friend's birthday dinner. We were walking around Park…read morePlace after dinner and wanted to take the party to another location. It was a Sunday evening, and the bar had just two couples inside. We sat ourselves in one of the cozy corners with comfortable couches, seats, and circular tables. Their physical menu only had drinks, but there was a QR code that showed a more comprehensive menu, such as other alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic drinks and small plates. We all ordered different drinks, and I got the Matronae's Blessing. My drink was tequila and vodka based with white tea shrub, lychee, soda, and lychee pâte de fruit, which is a traditional French jelly candy. Among all the drinks I tried, mine was the favorite of the night. The lychee really shined through, the soda was refreshing, and the pâte de fruit was the best surprise - chewy, sweet, and bursting with lychee flavor. Sadly, I don't have a photo of the drink, but I will be back to order this again! Aside from the great drinks, the bar itself is beautiful. The three arches behind the main bar holding the liquor are brightly lit around the edges to have a glowing effect, the bar table has light underneath that accentuate the dark green/blue color, and the rest of the bar is dimly lit to let the details really shine. You bet we did a mini photoshoot once all the other patrons left. The servers were not only great at making drinks, but they were kind enough to take some group photos for us! The girls and I had a wonderful evening, and it was the perfect way to end the night.

Amazing Zero-Proof Cocktails + Whimsical Vibe…read more Goat & Rabbit is such a gem for anyone looking for thoughtful, creative zero-proof cocktails in Kansas City. Their NA drinks are intentional, well-balanced, and honestly some of the most unique I've tried. I ordered two drinks: * Smedley Gaze (9.5/10) Spicy, refreshing, citrusy -- SO good. If you like a spicy margarita or anything with a kick, this is the one. The Ritual tequila, cucumber, Thai chili, and lime work together beautifully. * Petal Talk (7.5/10) Fruity and slightly sweet with the most amazing lychee foam. It had a flavor reminiscent of really good berry jam -- such a fun and unique drink. They don't serve food, but they are outside food friendly which is a huge plus. The atmosphere is whimsical and cozy, especially right now with their Mad Hatter inspired "Very Merry Unbirthday" tea party theme. It gives the whole place such a fun, imaginative vibe. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're sober, sober-curious, or just want an elevated NA cocktail experience in KC! (Review by @sobersipskc on TikTok and Instagram)

In the space, there was room to set up a photoshoot and for people to sit at the bar or lounge area. There was a DJ and snack table for the private event and they looked like they were able to set up as well so the space is pretty versatile. I ordered a beer and martini that both came out quickly. Overall the space is a clean, modern experience for OP for a casual night out.

My experience was fantastic from start to finish. 10/10 -- I will definitely be back.

Lots of different types of seating - bar, comfy chairs and table with chairs in a space that will hold about 80. The drinks are a little spendy about $16 and no happy hour pricing. I had a stirred dirty vodka martini. It was good but I prefer shaken martini that skates (iykyk). My friend ordered an fireside old fashioned. The rum made it sweeter and the cinnamon stick was a nice touch. The menu offers several old fashioned and martini options. They also offer some lite bar bites for snacking. If you live in Olathe and like cocktails this is definitely worth a stop. If you don't - it's quite the drive and there are other bars probably closer and just as cool.

Decent option for dinner…read more I stopped by earlier this week on my first night in town, and sat at the end of the bar. The bartender served me a Guinness (on tap, of course!) and then recommended the Monday Steak Night special ($60) - a prix fixe option which included a salad plus one of four types of steak, sides, and dessert. I opted for the house salad (with sherry vinaigrette dressing), the hangar steak (he was selling it hard!), sautéed green beans, and lemon meringue pie. The house salad was superb, with delicious chunks of goat cheese! I also enjoyed the sautéed green beans, loaded with sliced almonds and fresh garlic. The hangar steak was probably the most disappointing, and solely responsible for this review not earning 5 stars. I took half of it to go along with half of the green beans. The lemon meringue pie looked delicious but I could not eat another bite, so that also went into a to-go container. Back in my hotel room that night, working late as I was jet lagged, I ate that pie. OMG! PURE HEAVEN!! And the main reason this review earned 4 stars! Will be back for the salad and green beans and pie! And some Guinness on tap, of course!!

Overpriced chicken, a stellar mushroom side, and an aggressive exit strategy…read more After some custom cocktails nearby, our famished group headed to Rye for some dinner and dessert. The space was nice and clean, but unfortunately, the service and the "famous" main course didn't quite deliver a stellar performance. Our table was split--some wanted dinner, some wanted dessert. This apparently threw our waiter into a state of deep existential confusion. The Food: I ordered their "famous" fried chicken, customizing it to three thighs (which came with homemade pickles and a fantastic ham gravy). For $24, it wasn't bad, but it's definitely not "famous" for flavor--maybe just famous for the price tag. Honestly, I could have filled up at Popeyes for a fraction of the cost. Surprisingly, the absolute star of my meal was the side of sautéed mushrooms. It came with little pearl onions, shallots, and green peas. I topped it with some of my friend's arugula to make it fancy, and it was delicious. The Service (or lack thereof): Here's where it went downhill. The dessert order became a saga. Those who ordered sweets expected them to arrive with the mains, but we had to ask several times just to get them toward the end of the meal. By the end, our waiter seemed completely frustrated with our existence. He aggressively boxed up the remaining desserts and semi-forcefully shoved the credit card machine into our faces to shuffle us out the door. Great mushrooms, aggressive math at the end. Proceed with caution.
