The most incredible dinner at Noka last weekend was made even more special by the chef owner bringing one of our dishes - the edamame toast πŸ˜‹ - to share his inspiration behind the recipe.

Personal touches like that just really make a restaurant experience memorable. The Kansas City dining scene has so many gems.

The food was too good - we forgot to take pictures!

After sipping cocktails at Cheval and enjoying many a morning pastry at Enchante Bakery, we had high expectations for their sister restaurant, Tailleur - and it delivered!

The food was exceptional - highlights included the sweet potato rolls, grilled radicchio, and roasted half chicken.

We loved the atmosphere - deep navy walls and brass chandeliers paired with thoughtfully curated decor that played on antiques and equestrian details. It felt both cozy and elegant.

We could go on and on about the attentive service, delectable dessert options - truly, everything was outstanding. It was the perfect date night.

We look forward to coming back for their winter menu, especially since they recently welcomed Chef Jeff Workman, who was named a 2024 James Beard Award Semi-Finalist for Emerging Chef.

Don't let the streetcar construction deter you - parking in the back of the restaurant is super easy. We highly recommend making a reservation.
