My cheeks hurt from smiling for 3 hours watching the amazing Lonnie McFadden last night! His enthusiasm is contagious and his performance with fellow world class musicians was spot on! Loved learning new things about Kansas City's rich jazz history from a living legend! Lonnie interacts with every table/guest (even on break) - what a delightful soul. The food and service were excellent at the Ambassador Hotel was lovely. What a special treat right here in my home city!

Our first trip to Kansas City and this was a great show! The service was great and we enjoyed the pre fixe menu. Food was mostly really good, but can’t say all dishes were great. Overall, we would go here over and over for the full experience of an amazing performance by Lonnie McFadden and his band, who are young, accomplished musicians on their own. Lonnie is high energy, tells stories, highlights his band members, performs a variety that will not disappoint (including tap dancing) and engages with every single audience member. It is an intimate room with great history on the walls and great acoustics.

Highly recommend if you live in KC or are visiting. Lonnie and his band are superb. Very engaging with the audience and great music. Dinner and wait staff are excellent. You won't be disappointed.

What a pleasant surprise! I was invited to a reservation here with friends, and we had a phenomenal time. So much fun! The energy of the performance opened into quite a celebration. Lonnie, the musicians, the food and service was great. You can really feel the jazz history, it is engaging and nostalgic. Highly recommended!! Thank You!!

I took my mother out to this place and it was my first time ever seeing a jazz band play live, and I would like to say that I’m grateful for choosing this place to be my first. I don’t remember the host’s name, but he was superb. He was very sweet and helped me out with a couple things. Everyone that worked there was amazing. I thought the food wouldn’t be that good or wouldn’t fill me up, but halfway through the main course I felt pretty full. Now Lonnie and his band are amazing performers. There was warm energy flowing from every single one of them. I especially loved Lonnie’s energy that he put into his performance. You can tell that every single one of the members were passionate with what they were doing and that they genuinely loved to be there and perform. I’m not all for spending so much money on food, but this is 100% worth it for the cost.

What a fantastic night of entertainment! Lonnie's band killed it, and the level of showmanship and engaging the audience was high energy for a jazz club. The service and the food were both good as well. The club is relatively small, with more of an upscale restaurant feel. Not a bar.

Lonnie brings the history and vibe of KC Jazz to life... and man oh man, is his energy contagious! The depth & rhythm that Andrew, Tyree & Zach add to the mix made our Anniversary night unforgettable. You will hear songs that you thought you knew by heart take on an entirely new life just by their enthusiasm, timing and artistry. It was truly incredible. The menu choices are limited but the food and service was on point. They did a great job not distracting us from the entertainment. We've enjoyed watching Lonnie perform at so many places around KC over the years. But if you ever want to experience what jazz clubs were like back in the day, then you have to put the Reno Club on your list. This is where Lonnie & his band (and the KC Jazz scene) were meant to be.

This is one of Kansas City‘s hidden gems. Lonnie McFadden is a treasure and incredibly entertaining. While the fixed menu food is good (not great), any shortcoming is made up for by Lonnie and the band. While not an inexpensive night out, keep in mind you’re paying for a uniquely Kansas City evening, If you want to impress and/or be impressed, run to Lonnie’s Reno Club. It’s something to be experienced!
