This was our first time to Webster House. It was phenomenal! We had Dan as our server. Since it was our first time, we deferred to his recommendations and were very pleased. We started with the charcuterie. It was fantastic! Then I had a pear, arugula and duck salad followed by the duck entree. My husband had the warm potatoe salad and the short rib entree. The food was 5 star quality, but the portions were great and plated lovely. We joked that Gordon Ramsey must have been running the kitchen, but let's give credit were credit is due: Executive Chef, Brandon Winn, Sous Chef, Alex George won our hearts. We finished the night with the Chocolate Bouchon (pictured - Walnut Nougat, Phyllo Tuile, Honey Ice Cream). I didn't take any other photos as I was too blown away with the meal to even think of taking a photo. Everything was so good!
This was one of the best experiences we have had in a long time. We were lucky to get reservations on the same day. I recommend booking early so you can request a window seat with views of the Liberty Memorial. That said, the architecture and artwork are gorgeous, so there really isn't a bad view. We will be back and will be asking for Dan to serve us again. Thank you Webster House for defining hospitality and perfection!
Everything was good, but my husband got the arepas not realizing how small it would be. Considering thats the only thing my husband got, I would've appreciated if the waiter had suggested getting a side. It was also obnoxious that the plate was the largest at the table even though it had the least amount of food. Long story short: Do not get arepas if you are starving. Do get the fried chicken or the steak Benedict because those are delicious and worth the price.
I've only been for Sunday's brunch so I can only attest it's perfection but if any other time is as good as brunch, you're on for a treat.
As for Sundays brunch, note it's only on Sunday, but it has all the fixtures of brunch, like bottomless mimosas and excellent eggs Benedict. Prices are reasonable and much cheaper than the atmosphere would have you think.
It gets busy so call beforehand and make a reservation!
I took my mom there for her birthday and her husband for Veteran's Day a few weeks ago. The food was AMAZING! My mom had the turkey sandwich - and it was not an ordinary sandwich. Her hubbie had the combo 1/2 sandwich (turkey again LOL), salad and butternut squash soup. He let me try a sip of the soup and it was absolutely delicious, and different than any I'd had - it was flavored subtly with curry - very interesting and honestly I'd wished I'd had my own bowl. For me, however, the star of the show was MY lunch, which was the short rib sandwich. It was fantastic! It practically melted in my mouth and was topped with some delicious caramelized onions. I can't wait to go back! The prices were not horrible, either.
Sadly, we did not have room for dessert. The surprise, however, was they comped my step-daddy's meal in honor of Veteran's Day. What a kind gesture, and it really pleased him - it's not always about money, but recognition is always welcome. Everything was wonderful!
Wonderful, old world kind of place. Restaurant has great food and service. Delightful shopping areas. Worth a visit!
Great place to eat. Right by the Kauffman Center. Beat shopping experience too.
Went here for an elegant lunch in the upstairs restaurant in this fabulous old home. We'll prepared food served with one of the best bloody marys ever. After lunch strolled through the various rooms browsing antiques. A downtown KC gem
Food was excellent. Staff was very attentve without being over bearing. Had lunch for four with appetizer and dessert for very reasonable. I will be returning.
This is the most beautiful building I have seen. It is clean and modern. The outside is reminiscent of the Sydney Opera house. The theatre inside is absolutely gorgeous. I recommend it.
Superb! Great service, excellent fare and elegant but relaxed atmosphere. Historic and beautifully renovated.
Webster House is fantastic! Service is amazing! Everything I have ever ordered was delicious.
Last week we had reservations for Sunday Brunch. The sudden rainstorm trapped us in the parking garage. We called Webster House to let them know we would be late. To our delight, manager, Darin came to our rescue with an umbrella.
This was the 2nd time I've had lunch here. Its such a unique and eclectic environment. The food and service was top notch. Its actually a great place for a unique business lunch.
This place is beyond cool. It has a nice little shop downstairs and a lovely restaurant upstairs. The food was amazing and for lunch with the in-laws decently priced. The building itself is beautifully restored and has great natural light.
I was pretty excited for the dinner date I had set up here. Unfortunately I didn't have as good a time as I thought I would. We were seated at a table in the middle of the room on a table slightly too big for 2 people. We had to raise our voices to talk to each other because of the noise level, so we decided to ask someone to switch us over to another table. Just then we realized, it had been a little over 10 minutes or so since we were seated and nobody had come to attend to us. When someone came over to offer us water, we switched to another smaller table.
The service was average, the food was good, big portions. The menu in the email (sent by Open Table) said there was a vegetarian entree but it wasn't listed on the menu they handed out there. They decided to make one for me anyway.
Before I was done with my salad, the server came over with our entrees twice, so I felt a little pressured to finish up my food faster. I just accepted the entree the third time and left my salad half eaten. To add to it, I found a hair in my entree (I swear it wasn't mine because I had to pull it out from underneath the food). My server casually said everyone in the kitchen were men but the manager had the courtesy to come over, apologize and offer me another entree. I had lost my appetite by then so I just waited for my date to finish his entree and we had the dessert which was good.
The ambience was nice and had I been able to enjoy my food in peace, I might have left in a better mood. They were nice enough to not charge me for my entree which I had barely eaten. My date really liked his food and the ambience so maybe it's just because I had an okay-ish experience I probably wouldn't be returning here.
