The Restaurant at 1900

Inspired Cuisine

What makes it fun

The Restaurant at 1900 serves award-winning Chef Linda Duerr's modern American cuisine, with inspirations from her native New England, as well as Italian and French cuisines. The menu changes seasonally and is often refreshed. Wines, beers, and spirits from around the world are available on the wine and beverage lists. The cocktail and spirit-free beverage menus are updated on a regular basis as new and interesting ingredients become available. The Restaurant at 1900 is inspired by The 1900 Building's modernist style. The "tulip" columns that are so unique in the overall building design are also integrated into The Restaurant's entrance. Lester Goldman, the late artist and Kansas City Art Institute Professor, created the artwork in the main dining room and a sculpture in the private dining room.

It was an ok experience. We waited an hour for food, and the portions were tiny. It was recommended that we pick two entrees each because of size. It was also very expensive. Two entrees, two drinks and a serving of bread was almost $100. The service was top tier and the restaurant was beautiful. Very upscale.

I love this place. Though parking was a little easier at the now-defunct location in Mission Farms, the original location on 39th Street does an excellent job of blending upscale dining with the neighborhood’s bohemian spirit.

The menu is ever-shifting (often differing even from the restaurant’s own web site), but I’ve never gotten a bad dinner here. My most recent meal included soup, asparagus tempura and grilled shrimp. They also do a great job with cocktails. I started with a Spritz39 and then moved on to a Newly Fashioned, the latter of which was exceptionally strong.

A quick caution for anyone bothered by noise: at peak times, things can get loud in here. But it’s easy enough to make a reservation for a slower spot in the schedule. The food, atmosphere and service are worth it in any event.

Very courteous service. The atmosphere was intimate and relaxing. Tiffany was very accommodating as a hostess. Drew was an entertaining and knowledgeable server.

All the staff helped make my birthday dinner special and everyone wished me a happy birthday. Our drinks were never empty and our entrees were beyond satisfactory. I can’t wait to come back!

Would recommend to anyone looking for a place for special occasions or just wanting to treat themselves
