By far the best food we've ever had in the northern towns outside of Kansas City. easily rivals some of the big name chefs in the city. I loved every single thing I tasted. Absolutely delicious and filling and fresh. We will be back to try more!

Went here with my two adult sons. We all thought the food was very good, we would return for sure. I got chimichurri chicken, and boys got a burger and the tilapia. The burger was requested at medium, but we recieved a well done burger. Needless to say, it was a bit dry. The tilapia was excellent, and the chicken was very good. Two people asked if I wanted more water, and it was forgotten, but eventually got it. The overall service was a bit lax and slow, but the food was very good.

Went here for Easter with family for their Sunday brunch. What a little unknown gem this place is! The brunch menu is from 9-3pm every Sunday, and it is a rather large menu selection. Everything came out hot and fresh! And the sitting area is clean and modern-looking. Please see my photos attached to this review, and if you want something classic and delicious, fry the FRENCHY Sandwich! So good. We will be back for dinner soon!

What an amazing gem in Smithville. Headed to Kansas City to fly out on a business trip and needed some dinner the night before my flight. The wife and I went for dinner on Sunday evening and were surprised at how busy they were. Step inside this unassuming roadside restaurant, and the smells and ambience will quickly sweep you away to the likes of any coastal, California bistro. Starting with the seating and service both were quick, efficient and knowledgeable. The service continued to be wonderful throughout the night with side plates being brought before appetizers and dishes cleared promptly. Run by family members you cannot go wrong. The portions are hearty and the flavors are bountiful. Some of the highlights included the chipotle short ribs, grilled chicken salad, brussels sprouts, and the outstanding bread pudding. Out of hundreds of bread pudding’s, sampled worldwide, the white chocolate bread pudding at Aroma Bistro ranks in the top 10 ever tasted. Served with fresh blueberries and strawberries, plus a crèment glaze that delights the taste buds. Try this Smithville and Missouri superstar of a restaurant if you can, you will not be disappointed.

This was a great place to eat in Kansas City. We are kind of stuck out by the airport so our cousin shared a little local knowledge with us and we found ourselves at the Aroma Bistro. Friendly waitress, great cocktails and the food was so good.

Amazing food. Went with boyfriend’s grandparents! Yummy food for my first time . I live in Springfield so I’m not In Kansas City often.

We were able to get a reservation easily. The server was nice, but a bit slow. Took quite a while to come back to take our orders; I was with a group of 5 and we were talking so not sure how long exactly but noticable. Our food also took quite a while. It wasn't a huge deal because we really want to chat and socialize and weren't on a schedule, but might be for others. The food was all very good and seemed quite reasonably priced. I and one other had the Aroma Chicken Salad (pictured), one got the nachos and another got the salmon. Everyone was pleased. Saw the ceviche at the next table and it was impressively presented! It was a bit warm and the acoustics weren't the greatest for conversation. They had music on and it wasn't too loud but the overall acoustics were a bit echoey. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and not in a hurry!

Loved this place! Will be back again SOON! There were 10 in our group, but they handled it well. The menu had a really diverse selection of things, and with our large group, each of us had something different and EVERYTHING WAS GREAT!! We were all very happy with our food! Can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

This place is absolutely phenomenal. With the throwback 60s-80s music playing, the incredible food and great service I couldn’t recommend any other place with upmost confidence. We came here for brunch the day before and it was so delightful we knew we had to try their dinner menu the following day. I ordered the baked potato during their happy hour special. This isn’t a regular baked potato. This is an entree with outstanding flavor. My husband ordered the shortrib. He loved the tenderness and how it melted in his mouth. The mushroom risotto was creamy and delicious. It is a side dish but can definitely stand on its own. We also had the strawberry tres leches cake which was quickly devoured before I could take a photo. 10/10. The food is outstanding and I hope to come here for every family celebration.

What a treat this place was! I had fish tacos which, on that particular day, were shrimp. The shrimp were huge, easily 21-25, well seasoned and plentiful.. There wasn't anything about the dish that wasn't full of flavor and flavor surprises. One of my dining companions had steak nachos, which were mounded on a plate, covered in slices of cooked just right steak, My other dining companion opted for a salad also with steak, cooked a perfect light pink, and heaped in a bowl. We didn't do much sharing because I was too selfish with my fish tacos, they were that delicious. Our service was tremendous. We were there during a busy lunch, and our server never missed a thing. I'm very sorry I can't remember the young lady's name but she was pleasant, efficient, humorous and attentive. To add icing to the cake, the prices were very reasonable, particularly given the portions that were served. I plan on going again and again.

This place really surprised me, salad was cold and crisp with a good house made ranch, the filet was juicy and tender, perfectly cooked, shrimp was delicious, good asparagus and bearnaise,and for dessert white chocolate bread pudding and a good cup of coffee.This dinner was much better than I expected.

If you're looking for a nice place for a date night that won't break the bank try Aroma Bistro. The food is really good and the prices are very reasonable. I had the tilapia in chipotle sauce and my boyfriend had the shrimp and crab ravioli with a side of mushroom risotto. Both were very good. We did not love our cocktails but it was probably just what we ordered. The creme brulee was cold but otherwise good.

This was our 1st visit it took 15 minutes to be seated even though we had reservations at 6:30. Another 15 minutes waiting for the waitress to bring menus and water to our table. My husband and I ordered the pasta carbonera. When it came to the table, it looked more like fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The pasta was more like a homemade noodle. Why would you put diced tomatoes and onion on this. It was not what we expected as to what the menu explained.
