    I would give it a 6 star if there’s an option. Not only that we enjoyed the food, food presentation, ambient of the restaurant, we truly appreciate our waiter John for introducing a good selection on the menu. He is very knowledgeable of the menu and I can tell he enjoy being there and provide a good service to everyone. We were told that the Chef always create new menu creatively. They have happy hour and you’ll get to try delicious food at a lower price. It was my first visit to the restaurant and I was very happy with all the selections. Definitely going back!

    Their cocktails and food are great! The menu is online and just need to scan QR code to pull it up on your phone. The place is not big but you can sit comfortably. Price is a bit on high. There is a happy hour from 4-6 and 10-close! So you can good food and great price and a discounted drinks:) Plan well to find a parking space during weekend night’s.

    I had dinner here on a Tuesday night. The place was pretty packed. I sat at the bar.l as I was dining solo. The bartender was fantastic - genuinely friendly but not over the top in your face sort of friendly. I had the Birth of a Flower cocktail which was lovely. I had the pork belly (porc au citron) which was fabulous, and I also had some profiteroles which looked great but weren’t terribly good (I found the pastry too dry). The pork and cocktail were insanely good though so I highly recommend this spot. Also, the Westport area seemed really fun - lots of restaurants and bars and nice vibe.

    This place feels, sounds, and smells French, it's like being teleported to a French bistro in Paris. I had the steak tartare, the chicken liver terrine and the truffle salad and they were excellent. Great cocktails and good wine selection, too.

    Nice place and super busy! We snagged some seats at the bar and ordered some appetisers since we had already eaten a little. We got the escargot and the tartare. I was a little wary of the tartare at first since it was covered in so much sauce, almost like a soup, but it was really refreshing! The escargot was good as well. It was the most unique flavours I had ever had with escargot. We also got a raspberry macaron and the chocolate/raspberry mousse. Both were very tasty. The bartender was really nice and we met some friendly locals. I would come back to try dinner!

    Happy hour steak frites for the win! What a fantastic price and what a fantastic little steak meal. Perfectly sized to be able to grab a dessert after or a few drinks beforehand. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the fries were great. The first truffle fries I’ve tried that weren’t kick you in the mouth truffle flavor. The cheese platter was fantastic as well. The homemade jam was delicious and the various cheeses weren’t your run-of-the-mill, common cheeses that you see at budget restaurants. Overall, we were very happy, and our server was great too. As a bonus, they have a solid whiskey lineup to choose from for all of my bourbon guys. 5/5 across the board!

    Really enjoyed the food at this place. We were doing something nearby when we decided to get food, as we were both hungry. This was one of the closest places that was open at 4pm, so we went inside. There was a lot of seafood on the menu, which I wasn't really feeling, but my picky eater devoured the steak, and I got a tasty burger (though it was so big I had to leave a lot of the bun on the plate!) I definitely would eat here again the next time we pass through.

    We came here for Sunday brunch, and it was amazing. They have cool ambiance, and would definitely be a good date night spot at night. Our server was really helpful. The apple beignets get a NOLA stamp of approval!.. super soft, thick, had apple chunks, well-balanced sweetness.. some of the best I've had anywhere! The quiche was was also excellent, and everybody at my table was very happy with their plates. Brunch at Westport Cafe is very inexpensive for the super high quality you get. That's enough motivation to come back for dinner next time.

    That was our best experience in a French restaurant . First we ate Saturday night. Food was incredible fresh products from local farms with a French twist. I never tried olive from Nice city and they were the best I never tried. After this beautiful dinner we came back Sunday for brunch. You need to make a reservation because they are so successful. They’re Croque madame is wowww. If you never went there you should try !

    Very laid back and charming cafe. Great brunch and drink selection. Wait staff was extremely pleasant, helpful, and cheerful. I had a quiche Lorraine and arugula salad with lemon truffle vinagrette, an order of apple beignets with a wonderful berry jam. My friend had a breakfast burrito and accompanied our entrees with 2 delicious, freshly made bloody Marys. Would highly recommend this cozy cafe and bar.

    One of my favorite spots in KC and they make arguably the best burger in town. The lamb keftas were also amazing! Highly recommend this place but make sure you reserve a table if going on a busy night.

    Place is incredible. Very nice ambience and the server was lovely. Definitely try the escargot as an app. Pro tip: If you want to try the Steak Frites without having to commit to the whole thing, they serve it as a happy hour meal with a 4oz steak instead of the 8oz. It's less than half the price but comes with a little less fries. Every cocktail I've had here has been delicious. The prices are very reasonable for what you are getting as the food is worth every penny. 10/10👌

    We were looking to have some drinks and a light snack/meal. We stopped in and got seating at the bar. Service was good and the food turned out tasty as well. It was a little warm inside but to be fair it was 102 outside. We will be back to try dinner soon.

    Loved the atmosphere here. Our host was superb. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and you can tell how passionate he was about his employer and his job. Food presentation was marvelous. The food itself tasted wonderful just as much. We enjoyed every dish we ordered. The risotto was amazing! And the mojito? Get it! Best mojito I've had.
