Decent happy hour. The beef tartare was delicious but the accompanying bread could have been better. The pate was a bit one-note and too thick. Friendly staff and ambience. Truthfully, this restaurant would likely be appreciated more by connoisseurs of German cuisine.

10 star meal and one of the best I've ever had in my life. I got the tasting menu and put myself in the chef's hands. 1000% recommended. Katie (sorry if I'm wrong) made me feel like I was the only person she was concerned with, even while being very busy otherwise. Great service, phenomenal food and an extensive drink menu I didn't explore. Their inside seating was beautiful, they had a space for bigger parties and the nicest looking patio. Come and let them spoil you.

Absolutely fantastic. Fine dining is a hobby for my wife and I. We’ve been here before but forgot how amazing it is. And what a fantastic somm they have. Don’t let the German cuisine scare you, it’s one of the most culinary and approachable places in KC.

The restaurant is quaint with an edge. Service was stellar from the moment we walked and the food exceeded expectations. I'm gluten free due to allergy and there's plenty of choices. The menu is filled with interesting and delicious options. The cocktails were amazing as well. #Affare is worth checking out.

Had a wonderful night here with the girls. The staff was friendly and attentive, without being overwhelming, and our server always came by at just the right times to refill water or check on us. The recommended dishes were absolutely wonderful, and I was in love with the veal tips and spätzle that I had. So excited for a restaurant with German cuisine that isn't too greasy and has just the right amount of flavor and proteins. The beer selection was also very nice. Will definitely be coming back again

The place was amazing. Nothing overly goddy, the decoration, but still sets the mood for a German-style restaurant I would say the food would be traditional German fair done, fine dining with a tinge of American flavor. our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines. The lobster poutine was a standout, though I’m sure it’s not German :)

The service was excellent and the staff was really awesome and attentive. We thought the tasting menu itself was pretty average for the price. Everything tasted fresh but kind of lackluster, especially the apps and dessert and the Black Forest cake didn’t really have the layer of cherries like it’s supposed to. Still happy to try the place out with my hubby for my birthday dinner. We spent around $150 and left very full and satisfied.

Delicious meal! Our waitress was super kind and funny. After we told her our concert was cancelled, she made our dessert "music themed" to make up for it. Great time was had by all!

Gorgeous and just like home. So by saying that it means a wonderful 2 hours of mindless talk, alcohol and GREAT food! All they need to do is call me when they have my favorite: Knödel. Authenticity is a must and you can mark that off the checklist! Choose here and you won't be disappointed!

I just can’t say enough about this restaurant. It has both eclectic and hearty dishes- good for a couple that has different tastes :). The salad platter was a refreshing appetizer, and the dessert was so good I didn’t even pause to take a picture.

We stopped in on our way home from a volleyball tournament. It was late and they got us right in and we had the best German food we've had in the US. The staff was also so amazing, kind and helpful! The pavlova was on point as well as the buttered spetzel!

A nice, updated take on the typical schnitzel and sausage fare you typically find in German restaurants. The brat trio was delicately flavored and nicely sauced. Preferable to the seafood risotto dish, which was competently executed, but nothing beyond what you’d find in another good local restaurant. The Painted Table dessert was remarkable in sweet flavors and in flame-illuminated presentation. Truly unique.

I would give this restaurant 100 stars. The food is excellent. The Jager Schnitzel was crispy and the meat was tender. The duck breast was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the morels and white asparagus. On top of truly wonderful cuisine, the service was outstanding.

Don't tell my wife but I'm going to have an affair with Affäre. It was absolutely amazing. I had the venison steak and she had the wild boar. They were flawless, honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. Dessert was fantastic we had the cheese cake and the black forest cake. I'm definitely coming back here, I don't care how much it cost, shut up and take my money.

We went here for a dinner date during KC restaurant week and did not disappoint. First off the service was top notch. Everyone who greeted us and attended us were so polite and felt as if we knew them already. I highly recommend the Pekin Duck breast and Orange Cardamom cake for dessert. Also, my other favorite was the Pear Celery Root Soup, so perfectly salty and sweet. We did not do the wine pairing because my husband likes his beers and I wanted to try the Gluhwein, which is a warm spiced mulled wine traditional during holiday season. I highly recommend it in a cold day like when we went. We also got some blood suasages to go so we can have for breakfast the next morning. Overall, A++++. Great place, and amazing atmosphere. They gained lifelong customers!

This is a quaint, upscale street-side restaurant at the Crossroads in downtown KC. It serves German faire mostly, with some other popular items like the Nebraska Wagyu steak, New Zealand Venison, and a healthy seafood menu. Its not a lot to look at from the outside and is entirely an interior restaurant, but it is well made. Atmosphere: I love the seating options with tables, benches, and couches all available. They take privacy and the ability to hear one another seriously. The tables are not close together and there's a very soothing and conversational ambiance. It does have that rustic downtown setting but with a sleek and professional interior design. Service: The staff did wonderful. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and pitched the product well He took the time to explain the dishes, named in German, and gave us good insight. Great service at the bar as well. Food: the appetizers were great and off the chartuterie board I had the best blue cheese I've ever tasted. A very extensive wine and beer list for those wanting to partake. They are known for their fantastic German reislings. As for the main dish, I was a bit disappointed. The venison steak was good and enjoyable, but not outstanding enough to make the whole dish spectacular. To that end, the sides did the restaurant an injustice. Presented very well, but there wasn't much too special about the "bread pudding", the sauced half-pear, or the broccoli. At that, those dishes range in the 30s and 40s. The Venison steak dish was 44. The Wagyu steak was 75. If we had stopped there, it might drag it down to a 4 star review, but the desserts were amazing. Very well done and delicious. All around a positive experience and barely makes a 5 star in my book based on the whole everything together, but not a full 5 stars in the space it was competing with. I really like the things they did well though, and would be open to giving it another shot.

We stumbled in on a chilly Thanksgiving evening, having just arrived in town, no reservation, on what looked to be a busy evening for them. A gracious host seated us at the bar and welcomed us like family. The Mrs. had the venison, I had the vegetables. We both had the soup. This was some stunningly good food! And wine, and hospitality. Thankful for this serendipitous experience!
