I've been going to this restaurant since I was a child with my parents and grandparents. We loved to sit in the elegant elevators from the Emery Bird Thayer department store that had been transormed into booths. It's been years since I've been here and when my husband and I found ourselves with a surprise babysitter on a Saturday night... More

The food was good, but it was way overpriced. The service was just average. Over all we were very disappointed and do not plan on returning.

Kansas City restauranteurs.... Please go dine at EBT and take notes. When you walk in and give your name.. you dont have someone stare at a clipboard looking for your name...

Wow! Great food, awesome waiter, wonderful setting, what more could you ask for! Honestly, I can't remember setting down with my wife at a restaurant and having a better all around experience.

It was a Thursday night. We both ordered steak. She a KC strip and I had a ribeye. Both the steaks were cooked to perfection. The service team was always there but never seemed to interupt you. The wine that was recomended went great with the meal. The EBT is what you expect at a high end restaurant.

I really don't know which one aspect of this restaurant is better. Is it the reconstructed decor of bygone local icon? Is it the outstanding food? The ambiance? The flawless service? Since the closure of the Hyatt/Westin restaurants at Crown Center, EBT might be one of the better prepared steaks in town, that's a tossup with the Majestic. Easy to... More

While the location of this restaurant is not very appealing, just off a major highway and in a bank building, once you step inside you are transported to a place of beauty for all the senses. The interior design is impeccable. The excellent service starts the moment you walk in from the Maiter de to the servers. The wine selection... More
