Probably the best service in KC. Very welcoming, warn, and providing honest recommendations! The food was delicious, creative & very well executed! Will definitely return! One area of improvement is the wine glass offering. Will definitely return!
Truly outstanding all around. From the nice atmosphere to the great service and stunning food, this is a place you must try. The cocktail I had (smoke n flowers) was perfectly mixed and my wife loved their mocktail as well and it’s nice that they have a couple mocktail options on the menu. I had the Wild Alaskan Halibut, which had a perfect sear. The accompaniments of the dish were quite flavorful as well. My wife loved the farm chicken roulade, which is served in medallions and perfectly tender. There are definitely other options on the menu we’d love to try so we’ll be back.
Came for dinner and had a very good experience overall. Food was great, presentation was impressive, and portion sizes were large.
Understanding we dined during a busy dinner time on a weekend, the servers seemed overworked and some of the dishes came out a little colder than expected. But the taste was still delicious, and we’d certainly be back to give it a second try.
We celebrated my birthday evening at this restaurant and we enjoyed the food and experience. The executive chef gave me a birthday card at the end elevating the experience. I recommend the fried cauliflower and mock tails here. Chicken was good as well.
I loved this restaurant. I can't wait to go again. The food is so delicious and unique. The portions are small but worth it. Definitely get the Seared Diver Scallops, they were very scrumptious. I also really really enjoyed the Crispy Farm Egg. I'll be getting that again. My favorite food item was the Ramen noodles with lobster. That was awesome. For dessert I got the Pistachio Cream Pie. I also tried all the other desserts. Pistachio was definitely the best and the Strawberries & Cream Semifreddo was second best imo.
Service was phenomenal. Loved all of the individuals serving us.
My only complaint is that the cocktails were very weak. They tasted good but it took a lot of them to get me buzzed...and I'm a serious lightweight.
We love Novel. It has a vibe that reminds us of a European restaurant. Not very large and a menu of curated dishes. Great food and excellent cocktails. Our favorites are the hamachi, steak tartare and chestnut ravioli. Desserts are also good and the coffee is excellent.
Service is good and not rushed which for us is another big plus.
The only thing about service that we don’t like so much is how many times we are asked whether we are enjoying our meal. But that happens in most restaurants.
We have been several times now. Each time the food has been really good. The bread service is yummy, love that it comes with hummus. Agnolotti Always yummy. Swordfish I am not a fan of, just didn't care for the texture or flavors. Scallops were perfect. The entire dish was in harmony. Love the fried cauliflower, a pleasant bite to it. Service was spot on. We keep going back
Fantastic environment with a great concise menu! The pork chop was phenomenal alone, but out of this world with the garnishments! It was great to meet the friendly staff after I ate.
Does not look good from outside and much better upon entering. Short yet attractive menu list. Very nice Slovenian rose wine. Attentive and helpful service - those guys truly do care.
Thank you!
We came in for our 18th anniversary. Our server ( I can't remember his name now) but he was awesome! He even got my joke about The Menu (the movie). The ambiance was very chill, I will be coming back soon.
