- NNanSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe were looking for a nice getaway for Halloween dinner to dodge the trick-or-treaters. Wow, was this the right choice. This place has it all. Exceptional ambience, service, and food. Our server, Rusty, was knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, helpful, and unobtrusive. The food was fabulous. I hadn't eaten here in years, but I will be back. The calamari was the best I've ever had. The bread and butter superb. My filet, ordered rare, was perfect. Desserts and coffee terrific. Cocktails and wine unfussy and classic. Amazing!More infoRoom 39 - Midtown$$$$• Farm-to-table• Kansas City•4.8

- MMaryGoldKansas City / Kansas •72 reviews5.0Dined on 27 Oct 2026This was our first time at Louie's Reserve since Cafe Trio got bought out. Our food was excellent. We had two of the pastas, the pistachio taglitelle and the shortrib agnoloti. The brussels sprouts are excellent as an appetizer. We enjoyed the happy hour for drinks. I will go back. And you cannot beat the Halloween decorations!More infoLouie's Reserve$$$$• American• Kansas City•4.5
