Bluestem

One of the my favourite restaurants in Kansas City, and my first pick for fine dining. Their menu and service is exceptional. I had always loved their bar menu, especially the steak and salmon dishes. Last week I tried out their 5 course menu in their main dining room, and I was blown away by the experience. Each course was a flavour bomb and beautifully presented. The sweet potato soup and steak tartare had me wanting for more. My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary and we left feeling full and satisfied. Highly recommend.

What a treat! I've been wanting to experience Bluestem for years. The food, presentation, paring, and experience is unsurpassed in all the KC area, possibly the entire midwest. What an amazing experience. We had a four course meal with suggested wine paring for each course. Every dish was impeccably presented, timed perfectly, paired deliciously. If your looking for fine cuisine, this is your place. However, if you are simply looking for a fantastic single course meal and drink, Bluestem is really quite affordable. I would give this place the best possible recommendation I can give!

Fantastic meal! We love to try new things and this was a wonderful experience. The 3 course was plenty for us. Large portions. Had some to take home for tomorrow. Sea scallops and steak were perfect, appetizers and desert were the highlights. We recommend it, when you are looking for a high quality dining experience. Art on a plate - more than great presentation - amazing taste!

I am usually not a very adventurous eater but tonight I wanted to try some new things with my family. We had the seven course dinner and everything I had was absolutely amazing. The chefs have an amazing way of making every flavor explode and be on the brink of too much without going over the line.

They totally remodeled this place to spacious and modern. Great upscale restaurant with great food and drinks. As long as your wallet is great to match. 3oz wine for $7? Happy hour 6 oz for 9 oz costs $14,Who heard that?

Recently visited KC. Myself and guest chose the 5 course meal with wine pairings. The service was outstanding. The sommelier was knowledgeable and attentive. The open kitchen is great to see in action. It is not a large venue which seems by design to offer a personal dining experience. Every course was special. The dessert was nothing short of amazing. I wanted to lick my plate frowned upon, or I may have It is a James Beard awarded establishment and well deserved. Bravo to the owners.

Amazing experience with a 7 course meal. Each course was delightfully unique and delicious. We were worried we might be hungry with the small plates but we were all quite full and satisfied by the end.

Amazing culinary experience! We had the 5 course menu with wine pairing. Food presentation was perfect, every plate was appetizing and left you wanting more.

Love the lounge, the food and the drinks! The dining room experience was also great. We always have a terrific time with our friends at Bluestem. Can’t wait to go back!

Best restaurant in Kansas City. Bluestem has worn the KC crown for best high end eats for awhile and there's no reason to think that title is being vanquished anytime soon. Attention to detail and expertly prepared cuisine is the focus and norm for this KC mainstay. Be prepared to pony up the pocketbook for your meal, but it's warranted... it's not a "is there a kid's menu" type of place. Each night features a chef tasting menu in which patrons can choose from 3, 5 and 7 course meals that can be accompanied with wine appropriately paired by the house sommelier. The main dining room gives off warmth and intimacy with diners getting courtside seats to the kitchen, that is open and allows all to eye chef's preparing and plating the various courses that delight. Anyone looking for an elite dining experience in Kansas City area should add Bluestem to its list of places to visit. It's truly enjoyable.
