Café Sebastienne

Great staff and ambiance! Perfect for museum date, and parking is very easy. However, I had grilled chicken for $18. The chicken was a bit dry and the portion was very small. Definitely not worth the money. The staff were friendly and attentive.Recommended dishes

I was greeted by oh so FRIENDLY staff and seated without much wait time. My server was such a joy and was the utmost tentative to everyone dining at lunch today. I had the chicken salad which was fantastic. A PERFECT balance of textures and fresh flavors. I also had the key lime pie which was THE BEST lime dessert I've ever tasted. So creamy, not too sweet, and with the perfect dollop of whipped cream on top.

***see pics below** 1st pic is from May visit 2nd pic is from July 10th visit** CLEARLY a difference !! Upon arrival, my guest and I discovered that the menu had changed. Once seated the waitress, Mya informed us that the previous chef had been fired, which was surprising that she would be that specific. We ordered several items from the menu; the recipes had clearly changed and not for the good. The cornbread was bland, the French Toast looked more like a glob of bread pudding the presentation was less than desirable and the Frittata with seasonal vegetables was cold, not even close to served lukewarm as indicated by the interim chef, Kayla. Ultimately the chef came out with a new Frittata which was warm and feedback was given to the chef regarding overall dissatisfaction and presentation of the entrées in which she proceeded to say "everyone else likes it" and walked off. After that point service was non-existent and I ultimately went to the wait stand for the check. The waitress, Mya, who waited on us was seated at the wait stand, told me that the chef was taking care of the bill and that I was not welcomed to come back because I was rude for providing feedback regarding the entrées. Although I had NO plans to return due to the lack of concern, lack of professionalism, and nonchalant attitude displayed by the interim chef, Kayla and waitstaff Mya, I questioned the decision behind not being able to return to the establishment. The conversation didn't go anywhere as Mya was EXTREMELY RUDE. Out of frustration I told Mya she should not be in the service industry as this is NOT the way you should treat your customers when they give feedback , I also made a disparaging comment regarding the chef's oral hygiene, which I realize while true was very inappropriate keep in mind, this was AFTER I was told I wasn't welcome back - and for that I apologize. However, the treatment I received while at this establishment was UNACCEPTABLE. In fact, this is the 3rd time I've visited this establishment. My first visit was less than pleasant and guess who was my server - MYA. After the former chef came out to correct a seating situation, my family and I were able to enjoy the food - which was wonderful. Our second visit was GREAT....guess who was our server NOT MYA - the food was GREAT. Our 3rd visit on July 10th was HORRIBLE the food and service and MYA was our server. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT to ANYONE. Enter at your own RISK.

The salmon was delicious. Very small portion but beautifully plated and worth trying. My daughter loved her summer salad with chicken. It was a a healthy portion and worth the price. My only criticism is the small portion of my meal when it was the most expensive. I am not greedy but I had to eat very slowly to be at the same time frame as my daughter. It made for a lovely afternoon and all staff friendly and welcoming.

Don’t know why it took me this long to try this place out, since I’m obsessed with anything brunch related. I just loved the setting of this place, just the fact that it’s in Kemper Museum surrounded by eclectic art makes it worth the visit. We tried their biscuits and gravy, squash and goat cheese omelette and French toast with raspberry purée and ice cream. Such a good meal experience, I couldn’t get enough of the crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside smashed potatoes. The French toast was incredible and we didn’t even need the syrup because the ice cream and berry purée were all it needed. The omelette wasn’t anything special and next time I will probably try their cornbread and something more adventurous. Also wish they had more dessert options than ice cream. Definitely recommend this spot to all the KC foodies.

The surroundings are beautiful, but the food is not good. I ordered trout avocado toast and was presented with a piddly toast that I could have made for free at home. Also, our waiter forgot to put our order in so other people arrived, ate, and left before we got our food. Very disappointed. Truly a mar on an otherwise nice museum experience.

The venue is very neat. You are surrounded by contemporary art totally not my thing underneath a glass ceiling. The staff is very friendly and service is ok. I ordered the biscuits and chorizo and lamb gravy. The biscuit was a cornbread type of biscuit. It was very dense and lacked flavor. The gravy not pictures was utterly disappointing as well. I was expecting an explosion of flavor with the chorizo and lamb, but received a flavorless speckled paste you would expect from a 7th grade home economics class. The consistency was off and it needed salt. Well, not just salt; love. It was bad. The eggs that came with the meal must have been cooked in the same 7th grade class. The texture was great, but again... No flavor. The potatoes that accompanied the meal were fantastic. Beyond delicious. The crispy skin was a surprise, and welcomed after the biscuit. They were heavily season; I actually rolled them on the eggs hoping to rescue the meal. If you like crisp bacon, this is the place. I love crisp bacon. The bacon was perfect. The sangria and mimosa were fantastic. The menu is very small, which is fine; however, the few items should be executed with greater attention. I probably won't return, nor recommend Cafe Sebastian. The KC food scene is too good to return to a meh meal.

Café Sebastienne was a great choice for Father’s day brunch. Not pictures we started with lamb sausages which were basic, but delicious. I had the biscuits and gravy with breakfast potatoes and the gravy was excellent. Creamy and full of flavor, and the biscuits and potatoes were great too. My girlfriend and her father had the Eggs Benedict and the the yolks were perfect with the English muffins. Her father’s husband had the pork hash and loved it as well. Pictured is the lime cake which had cotton candy on top. The cake was moist and full of flavor. Service was also excellent, and I will be keeping Cafe Sebastienne in mind for the future.

This was such a great place for brunch. The art and the courtyard come together to make this a very unique experience. I would suggest bringing friends! It’s not that busy and quite honestly is now one of my favorite brunch places. I will be back soon - this time with a lot of friends!

The food here was delicious. I ordered the Kobe Beef Hash and the Crab Cakes/Eggs Benedict. They were both divine. The cafe is located inside the museum with art lining the walls. It's a wonderful place for brunch and drinks.
