Our experience was terrific from start to finish. We were a few minutes late because of traffic but we were seated without much delay - which we expected. We had great seats in a booth on the back side of the bar. Our server, Regine, was perfectly attentive to us and answered our every question. The food was terrific, as well. We are glad that this is our annual tradition for Valentineโ€™s Day.

About the restaurant
Set in Kansas Cityโ€™s historic City Market, Brown and Loe Restaurantโ€™s inviting atmosphere is a blend of โ€œbig cityโ€ bistro with the welcoming casual flavor of a neighborhood favorite. Housed in a former Merchantโ€™s Bank constructed in 1920, the restaurant honors the architectural details of the two-story building which features a faรงade of plate glass and verde marble floors and walls.
In the 1940โ€™s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchantโ€™s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurantโ€™s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurantโ€™s fresh ingredients.
Brown and Loe Restaurant is the second dining concept introduced by Harry Murphy, owner of the City Marketโ€™s popular Harryโ€™s Country Club.

Tapas / Small Plates
Downtown / River Market
About the restaurant
In the beginning. Tapas is a daily event in the life of the Spanish culture. Mainly a Northern Spain, Basque regional tradition, it has grown to signify a way of eating and socializing. It is said that tapas originated centuries ago. In Spanish, the word tapa or the verb tapar means to cover. Tapas represents the Spanish custom of placing a piece of bread over the glass of wine. It is a custom that dates back past the 1500's. Traditionally, the exact food served is less important than the social occasion. Tapas is a way of life. It signifies leisure, camaraderie and good humor. In Spain, Tapas are almost always accompanied by wine. They are not so much about talking as they are about eating and drinking. The wine is the medium that holds the conversation with friends and the food together. You make time to enjoy the moment in an unhurried way. The threefold purpose of snacking on tapas is to dull any hunger pangs that have built up since the previous intake of comestibles.

Five stars, definitely my favorite dining experience in KC. The 4 stars for value is because itโ€™s a little expensive, but itโ€™s worth it and the kind of food, service, and atmosphere that should cost more. Maybe I should have rated that as N/A. We came last week, too, had almost entirely different tapas each time, and enjoyed both experiences.

Fantastic dining experience! We arrived an hour early for our Valentines reservation. We checked in and went to the bar while we waited. The atmosphere at the bar was fun but not rowdy. We chatted with other patrons and the bartenders were amazing. Ultimately, about 15 minutes before our reservation time I told the hostess that weโ€™d happily give up our table so someone else could have it and weโ€™d eat at the bar. They had a long line so we were happy to eat at the bar. The atmosphere, service and food were outstanding. Prices were reasonable and portions were large. They also had some creative cocktails that were delicious. Highly recommend!!
