Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Kansas City

My husband and I made a 7:15pm reservation, of which we arrived early for; however, we were not called up until closer to 7:30pm. Staff was super friendly, but the bartenders were making low-end liquor substitutes to drinks claiming they changed it, but the menu wasn’t updated. I requested a remake to reflect what the menu advertised. If you use lower quality liquor then the price should be lower. I’m not okay with paying high-end prices for low-end products.

This our 3rd trip to Ocean Prime celebrating our anniversary. Every time it has been excellent. Bree was our server and she was great! We both started with drinks. I tried the Berries n Bubbles and my husband had the Smoked Old Fashioned. I had the Lobster Bisque to start, and it was delicious. For our main entrees, I had the Wagyu filet and he had the Rib Eye. Both were cooked to perfection. We shared the Smoked Gouda tater tots and the corn. Since it was our anniversary we got to pick a dessert on the house. We have a tradition going back to the beginning of our marriage to always pick the creme brulee. And it was outstanding as well.

The service was great and the food was amazing. It was a great way to start the new year and celebrate my wife’s birthday.

Attentive waitstaff Excellent food Wait time to order minimal Nice wine selection Great choices Had gluten free options Great parking Orders arrived together for a party of six Had a great cup of decaf at the end

The owner and chef, Amante, has done a phenomenal job in curating this menu which is off the charts. They employ the Japanese practice of dry aging fish, which makes the dishes, especially the sushi quite delicious. The bartender is world class and their cocktails are made with much care and attention to detail. The ambience makes you feel you’re somewhere in New York or San Francisco. I believe there’s a good value for the money which all in ranges from $75-$100 a head. I plan to return here quite often as it is one of the best dining experiences in Kansas City.
