Outstanding experience! Our out-of-town guests and local partners all enjoyed a fantastic evening, complete with spectacular service (thank you, Amy!) and excellent food. We were seated in the vault, which added a unique and nostalgic touch to the evening. The ambiance was exceptional, the food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. Overall, a well-deserved 5-star experience. We look forward to returning!

Ted's is one of our favorite places in KC. The service, food, drinks and the overall vibe (sophisticated yet comfortable), is absolutely on point. Add in live jazz and you've made it even better. Always look forward to our next visit.

I love BEGR downtown! But they said they don’t have a waitlist through OpenTable. They still gave us a table when I showed them, but you may want to verify this is legit :)
