"KC Restaurant Week Dinner at Tannin Wine Bar & Kitchen 🍷✨ Grabbed dinner with two friends last night at Tannin Wine Bar & Kitchen for KC Restaurant Week, and overall we really enjoyed the night. Two of us ordered the $50 Dinner Menu. Course 1: • Lump Crab Dip (crostini, lardons, parmesan) — creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The crab came through nicely, and the crostini with lardons really elevated the dish. Course 2: • Seared Salmon (herbed polenta, sautéed broccolini, confit tomatoes, chimichurri) — beautifully presented and well-seasoned. Everything on the plate worked together harmoniously. Course 3: • Lamar’s Glazed Doughnut Bread Pudding (whipped cream, chocolate drizzle) — served hot, which was a plus, but this ended up being my least favorite dish at the table. The melted chocolate chips provided most of the sweetness for me. We also tried another prix-fixe selection: Course 1: • Crispy Pork Cheeks (polenta, kimchi) — flavorful and nicely balanced. Course 2: • Braised Short Ribs (garlic whipped potatoes, haricots verts, rosemary demi-glace) — incredibly comforting, tender, and delicious. Course 3: • Fudge-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookie with banana ice cream — surprisingly enjoyable, even for someone who doesn’t usually like peanut butter desserts. We also ordered a few à la carte items: Snacks: • Crispy Shrimp (chili aioli, sweet soy, sesame seeds) — one of my favorites of the night. Perfectly crispy, savory, and satisfying. Salads & Soup: • Spinach Caesar Salad (shaved parmesan, polenta croutons, caesar dressing) — I enjoyed it, but one of my friends wasn’t a fan due to texture. The polenta croutons lacked that classic crunch. Mains: • Tannin Wagyu Burger (Kemmerer Farms wagyu beef, cheddar, tomato, bacon, onion bun, pommes frites) — cooked medium-rare, juicy, and very flavorful. We did enjoy the evening, though we weren’t fans of being seated all the way in the back, away from the main dining area, in what felt like an event room. Next time, we’ll definitely ask for seating closer to the main space. Our server, Caleb, was the life of the party—friendly, engaging, and made the experience even better. The restaurant manager was also very kind and accommodating. We’ll be back to try more items on the menu. Thank you for a great evening!"

"Came here for the first time for KC restaurant week. The fix menu was amazing, the wine pairing with it was outstanding. The manager even came out with each glass to tell us about the wine. We will come back, often."

"We really enjoyed our second visit to tannin. Kept things simple with the classic burger and fries. Burger was excellent - well seasoned and delicious - and the fries were spectacular. You absolutely must try the peanut butter and fudge cookie. It’s indescribable."

"Food was absolutely phenomenal! Goat cheese and mushroom tart was great and the Wagyu burger was full of flavor and cooked too perfection. Highly recommend the pork chop as well."

"For me and my husband it is the best restaurant in Kansas City, we know several, but this is our favorite. The food is amazing."
