A Nicely Tucked Away Dinning Experience

by wavecrash

Out here on business, this is a nice place to grab a KC Strip steak and Disarrano on the rocks. I like trains, so the huge train track model in fron the restaurant was a plus. Staff was friendly, but not too friendly to disturb you eating your meal, or interuppting your phone call to the office.

• Pros: Friendly Staff, Location, Low Key
• Cons: Parking, No Outdoor Sign

Very unique ambiance

by luvs2travel

What unique experience. We walked over from the covered pedestrian walkway and never having been in Union Station before we were impressed. Once inside the restaurant we noticed that it had many cozy nooks and even the tables next to each other seemed secluded. We both had the Tuna and were amazed at how good it was. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend anyone looking for a romantic spot or just a really nice experience visit Pierponts.

• Pros: Very secluded and great atmosphere

Very Good

by dinningright

Wife and I recently ate at Pierpont's and was delighted. The food and service was great. We both had the smaller filet with crab and asparagus toppings. Wonderful. We took our own wines into the restaurant and the wine stewart was very helpful and knowledgeable on the wines presented. Ambience and decor was great. Service from the wait staff was superior. My wife had a draft of air coming from the floor onto her legs. The wait staff got her a tablecloth to wrap around her legs. This place is a true find.

• Pros: Steaks, wine list, sevice
• Cons: nothing

We had the best filet's we've ever had - mind-blowingly good. Great atmosphere and excellent service. We had the 6 course Grand Prix dinner and it was outstanding. Only complaint was the waiter brought our dishes out a little too quick sometimes. My wife did not have time to finish her salad before the filet arrived. Chocolate Tort dessert was superb and the chosen wines matched everything perfectly. Definitely recommend for someone looking for a special occasion location for fine dining.

• Pros: Desserts, Wine List, Filets
• Cons: Courses too fast

Wow

by nicholi

This place is defiantly a restaurant worthy of all the praise. I ordered the blue crab and sweet corn bisque soup with the halibut entree. Both could be the best dishes I've ever had! The service was extremely attentive and courteous. To top off the entire experience was the decor - very beautiful. To think I was told by a local that there aren't any really good restaurants around.... sheesh.

• Pros: Food, Service, Ambience
• Cons: Nothing!

Steak and seafood: Get your fill of either at this timeless restaurant.

The Scene 
Nestled in a nook of the renovated train station, the mahogany and red-leather booths offer the most intimate of romancing. The bar back, mahogany as well, is an impressive several stories tall, and only accessible with a library ladder. The high ceilings are accented with chandeliers.

The Food
The cuisine compliments the setting, while the presentation is as flawless as the architecture. A wedge of iceberg lettuce is transformed into an artistic, savory starter with lemon-pepper dressing in the Westport wedge salad. Blue crab and sweet corn bisque is also a creamy and rich way to start the meal. The Kansas City strip steak with pinot noir demi-glace is tender and gives praise to its name. The grilled Atlantic salmon is served with roasted tomato pesto and herbed risotto cake.

Excellent

by billyrayjoebob

You can't beat the quality of the food or service unless you spend a lot more money. However, they made a HUGE mistake when they took the Dijon Mustand and Brown Sugar glazed steak off the menu and moved it to the Hereford House.

Best food in KC

by meanadam

This is the best resturant in Kansas City. Not that expensive either. Whenever I have a dissapointing (usually more expensive) meal somewhere else, I kick myself for not going to Pierponts. Always take out-of-towners there for the ambience. Check out the private party rooms downstairs for larger tables.
