"A slightly upper scale atmosphere spot in the crossroads. The place was slammed when we stopped by on a first Friday, it might be advisable to get a reservation. The Lebanese Hummus was tasty, it was topped in an unusual way with a tomato sauce. Which was a new approach to me, but it worked. The Marinated Olives were brought out in a relatively large ramekin with a second for the pits, an assortment of 4 or 5 different types of olives and marinated lemon peel. An assortment of olives, kalamata, some tiny little ones, a bright green Greek olive and one or two more. There was one I wasn't crazy about, but mostly tasty and interesting to try. Mezze Spreads, we got the spreads without the Beet Hummus. The Baba Ghanoush was pleasant, but without the signature smokey flavor and it was extra creamy with almost a hummus like flavor and texture instead of eggplant. The carrot hummus was pleasant, no actual noticeable carrot flavor. The pita was nice light and fluffy and we had enough. The Greek salad was very fresh, firm tomatoes, nice crunchy cucumber, crisp fresh romaine. A little small and basic for the price. We ordered it without the cheese, the kalamatas were a pleasant compliment giving most of its flavor. The dressing, seemed to have almost no flavor, where a Greek salad normally has a delicious strong flavor, which left it a bit lacking. Unless they normally rely entirely on the cheese for it's flavor ... The sauteed mushrooms were nice. A little chewy and soft for my personal preference with mushrooms, but the SO liked them a lot. It was a fair portion. They were very accommodating and friendly. They went out of their way and took good care of us. The atmosphere was tasteful, modern, nicely lit with plenty of light while still being soft. The type of place that has pass throughs decorated with assorted wines."

"Best Happy Hour food in KC. Hands down. Grilled Bread & Ricotta, Fudgy Eggs, Turkish Pide, Egyptian Macarona Bechemel, Turkish Coffee Chocolate Torte"

"The chickpea fries are worth the visit just to experience the crispy, golden outside vs the creamy interior - but it was the seasonal roasted veggies that stole the show! So savory and flavorful! The server was helpful for identifying vegan options as they weren't necessarily what you'd expect: for example, the beet hummus is made with dairy. I'd definitely go again, though it is on the pricy side. Nice date location if you're OK sharing small plates. I'd also recommend reservations."

"The food here is always excellent!! Usually service too so maybe this is an exception for sitting at the bar? We went yesterday and was sat at the bar and had been sooooooo minimally unattended to. We were almost done with our meal when I finally get a chance to call on loudly to our server to get his attention because man, I just wanted to wipe my hands on something. We ate our meals with our hands and no personal plates either because we weren’t given any table settings, and again, he was nowhere to be found or looked impossibly ‘cannot be bothered’ when he swiftly appeared to go do something else. The best part was when we had to ask for our bill, he smiled big and then handed us a very clearly overcharged tab. So we had to go wait for him again to correct it. In my opinion, great service means not having the diners to have to ask you. Not only did we have to ask a few times, it felt like it was a huge favor. Made the dining experience so wet towel-y. Anyway, I mentioned this kindly to the maitre d on our way out hoping it would be passed along. I would hate for Extra Virgin to have this kind of service standard."

"I've lived downtown for a few months and this has been "on the list" since I saw it. Was told on separate occasions that it's among the best of the best in KC so I mean... gotta try it out! Beautiful weather to sit outside and enjoy and boy oh boy did we enjoy. Malorie (forgive me if I spelled incorrectly) kindly and helpfully guided us through different options and suggestions. The asparagus bisque started the show with not just a bang but an absolute explosion. Creamy, flavorful, just rich enough without feeling heavy. Possibly my favorite thing. The ricotta is so fresh it felt made to order. No joke it's so light you forget you're eating cheese. Now these little puff pastries packed full of goat cheese and carmelized onion are... divine. Truly created in some other world. I tried the bone marrow because I'm always about the new experience and it's not something I'd experienced before. I recommend loading it up onto the accompanying bread and tasting it altogether. It's very rich, I loved it, but if you're not into that kind of fatty texture you may not appreciate it. The shishito peppers were perfect, but gotta say as a standalone compared to the cloud-parting goodness next to it on the table it wasn't my personal favorite. Excellent, don't get me wrong, but everything else just being SO GOOD left me forgetting I even ordered them. Not commenting on the shellfish cause that was for the wife, I'm allergic and didn't try them. Her comments on the mussels though were not just they're good, but she'd order it again based on the broth alone. Sounds like a W to me. Absolute 10/10 without question. This is now easily one of my favorite spots, possibly with only the Antler Room just above on a personal level. Thank you all so much, we'll be back!"
