   Customer service was great and ambience was even better however the food felt warmed up and made from earlier in the week, including appetizers and main entree

   Way too expensive for the quality. Cool old school KC vibe though.

   It was only a Monday night, but the place was empty. They were out of several of the staple items on the relatively small menu. This was disappointing. Their wine list seemed limited to extremely expensive wines (maybe it's just me, very few under 80 dollars, many well over 100) so my friend and I ended up having glasses of the house wine. The food we ordered was good, the service friendly and somewhat attentive. The main reason I was there was to have the beets, which are no longer on the menu. I was crushed. The coffee was delicious and or server was kind and helpful. I just got the feeling that this is a struggling organization. I hope I'm wrong.

   The Savoy is an iconic place in Kansas City. T he ambiance is so old world first class, cattle baron vibe. Loved the menu, limited but that means they make every Toto perfection. My ribeye was actually perfect and I gave some weird instructions. Our service was prompt. It not too pushy. We will be back!

   The old Savoy was incredible. The new is blah. Dining room the same, but has completely lost its charm. Ceased salad blah....anchovies dry. No taste to dressing. Ribeye was just ok. Lots of unchewable tendons. Wife had filet. Gravy with it tasted like beef bullion cubes. Chocolate cake tasted frozen....like out of a box at grocery store frozen section. Cowboy butter for rolls was frozen. Coffee was excellent. Service was very good. We won't be returning.

   Thank you for your candid feedback about your recent visit. We're truly sorry your experience didn't meet the standards you remembered from the old Savoy. We appreciate your detailed comments about the Caesar salad, steaks, chocolate cake, and butter. While we're glad you enjoyed the coffee and service, we understand these positives couldn't make up for your disappointments with the food. Your experience doesn't reflect the standard we aim to uphold. Our culinary team will address the issues you've raised regarding quality and preparation. We value our history and understand the expectations that come with the Savoy name. Though we're sorry to hear you don't plan to return, your feedback helps us improve.

   We celebrated our birthdays and Valentine’s Day and it did not disappoint for special occasions. It was expensive, but the food was good.

   We were disappointed that the menu on the website was not actually offered in the restaurant. The predinner dinner drinks and bartender were very good. The fillet was very good but everything else for the value was average.
   

   The SavoyResponded on 8 March 2025

   Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed the pre-dinner drinks and bartender, and it's great to hear the filet hit the mark. Sorry to hear the menu didn’t line up with what you expected — we work with our local farmers to keep things fresh and sometimes we aren't able to make changes on the website as quickly as the products we receive change. We also appreciate your feedback on the overall value and will keep that in mind as we work to improve. Hope to see you again soon!

    Excellent steak, phenomenal service, and wonderful live jazz. One of the coziest old school dining experiences in KC. Step into 1930’s ambience and step away from your busy life for a couple hours. Trust me you’ll enjoy every minute!
