A
foodie
friend
was
in
town
and
wanted
to
try
some
place
that
is
a
sort
of
hidden
gem
of
KC.
I've
heard
great
things
about
Room39
so
I
got
us
reservations.
Calling
in
to
make
a
reservation
a
half
hour
before
we
planned
to
be
there
was
easy.
The
gentleman
on
the
phone
was
courteous
and
helpful.
At
the
restaurant
the
serving
staff
let
us
choose
to
eat
outside
on
the
sidewalk.
It
was
a
very
nice
evening
and
enjoyable
being
out
there
instead
of
what
appeared
to
be
a
dark
and
more
intimate
interior.
Sitting
outside
had
some
downsides
though.
It
felt
like
we
were
forgotten
a
bit
and,
at
no
fault
of
the
restaurants,
I
did
get
shot
by
some
gel
pellets
by
some
people
driving
by.
Drinks
-
I
asked
for
a
recommendation
between
a
couple
choices
and
was
recommended
the
hibiscus
mocktail.
It
was
alright.
Nice
color,
decent
flavor
but
a
bit
closer
to
bland-bitter
than
tart-sweet.
My
buddy
ordered
a
couple
cocktails.
Something
with
orange
peel
and
another
based
on
the
server's
recommendation.
He
said
both
were
awful.
Food
-
I
ordered
the
Pair
of
Spiced
Quail
(pictured)
and
he
ordered
the
Filet
au
Poivre
(refer
to
menu
pic).
He
loved
his
meal!
He
said
it
was
flavorful
and
not
too
spicy.
The
veg
he
enjoyed.
But
mostly
the
green
peppercorn
cream.
However,
he
did
expect
more
steak
for
the
price
he
paid
and
it
was
a
bit
over
cooked
than
what
he
asked
for.
The
Pair
of
Quail
were
nicely
seasoned
and
very
well
cooked.
The
farro
and
sorghum
were
great!
I
could
have
eaten
that
quail
by
itself
without
the
sauce
and
it
would
have
been
brilliant.
In
fact,
I
should
have
eaten
it
without
the
harissa
because
that,
for
me,
ruined
the
dish.
The
harissa
teased
me
with
smoky,
spicy
possibilities
but
it
was
a
huge
let
down.
There
was
no
spice
to
it.
There
was
flavor
communicating
spice
should
be
here,
but
I
was
just
left
with
sweetness
throughout.
I
kept
trying
it
hoping
the
spice
would
kick
in
but
it
never
did.
I'm
not
sure
how
they
made
their
harissa
but
it
just
tasted
like
chili
powder,
paprika
and
brown
sugar.
Pretty
to
look
at,
not
enjoyable
to
eat.
Dessert
-
the
creme
brulee
(pictured),
the
custard
was
too
thick,
too
warm,
the
raspberry
had
no
flavor:
not
sweet,
not
tart,
nothing.
Nice
caramel
on
top;
good
crack,
not
burned.
I
should
have
taken
my
$9
and
bought
the
ingredients
to
do
it
myself.
Tl;dr:
nice
staff!
A
for
looks,
B-
for
taste,
C
for
value.
Sit
outside
but
you
might
get
shot
at.
