Our goal is to create a restaurant experience in Kansas City that combines first tier food, beverage, design, and hospitality. We have lively nights in the Supper Club filled with laughter, clinking glassware, familiar faces, and music. We mark special moments within the walls of the Private Dining Room. Together in the Tasting Room we thoughtfully design the multi-sensory journeys on which we take our guests. We place great trust in you to help us bring the vision of these experiences and our culture to fruition. You may test your energy, flexibility, patience, stamina, and imagination more than ever. But through this we hope you also reach new levels of pride, teamwork, and accomplishment. Our restaurant family is incredibly important to us.
