Nice restaurant with live music (though it ends around 9pm) so if you want the music, dine early! Food here was good - i had the strawberry field salad that was very tasty with the NY Strip - very juicy and good. Ambiance was rather loud - i didnt like how the tables were so close to one another -...

I've been here twice for supper on a weeknight. Both times the food was great, creative without seeming forced. Once I got the stuffed chicken breast, once the Margot pizza and a nice fresh salad with beets. All super yummy and enough leftover for lunch the next day. The decor and even the menu have a sense of whimsy, fun...

I did like it but I specifically remember the service was slow. We were there after ten at night. Everyone enjoyed the food but no one was happy with the service.

1/2 price wine is all you need to know! OK, everything else was fabulous also. We were staying with friends in KC and told them we'd take them out to dinner, Cafe Trio was out of their mouths in less than a second. Portions are huge AND we had the small plates! Our server was fantastic - did not try...

Where to go at 4PM for a drink and a light snack? We had a couple of hours to fill and needed a place to spend the time and get a bite to eat. Cafe Trio was within blocks of our next destination so we stopped in. What a great decision. Jake, our server, did a superb job, from suggesting...

Was enticed here yet again by their Snow Day special (via email).
My wife and I go here a lot. Both to the bar and their dining room.
The service can be a little slow and spotty, BUT, this place easily has the BEST, most competent bartenders in Kansas City. The while sometimes pricey, is awesome. Cracker crust pizzas are...

Wow! This was a wonderful experience and excellent food. We loved the flexibility to order during restaurant week a pre fixe menu soup to nuts or off the regular menu.
We chose the regular menu. From the moment we got there the service was impeccable. The wait staff very intuitive. I needed a few moments to unwind and focus.. Got...

Dined during KC Restaurant week and enjoyed a great $15 lunch. The Pasta Bolognese was delicious. It was a very generous portion and served steaming hot. Great location on the Plaza with nice view. We ate on the porch which was enclosed because of the season. This would make a very fun happy hour location during the summer when everything...
