I recently had the opportunity to dine at Novel restaurant in Kansas City while entertaining a few business clients. Coming from California, we were looking for a place that would provide a unique dining experience, and Novel seemed like a good fit. The environment was great – modern with a touch of swank, and the open kitchen design added an interesting dynamic to the overall dining experience.

Truly outstanding all around. From the nice atmosphere to the great service and stunning food, this is a place you must try. The cocktail I had (smoke n flowers) was perfectly mixed and my wife loved their mocktail as well and it’s nice that they have a couple mocktail options on the menu. I had the Wild Alaskan Halibut, which had a perfect sear. The accompaniments of the dish were quite flavorful as well. My wife loved the farm chicken roulade, which is served in medallions and perfectly tender. There are definitely other options on the menu we’d love to try so we’ll be back.

We celebrated my birthday evening at this restaurant and we enjoyed the food and experience. The executive chef gave me a birthday card at the end elevating the experience. I recommend the fried cauliflower and mock tails here. Chicken was good as well.

I loved this restaurant. I can’t wait to go again. The food is so delicious and unique. The portions are small but worth it. Definitely get the Seared Diver Scallops, they were very scrumptious. I also really really enjoyed the Crispy Farm Egg. I’ll be getting that again. My favorite food item was the Ramen noodles with lobster. That was awesome. For dessert I got the Pistachio Cream Pie. I also tried all the other desserts. Pistachio was definitely the best and the Strawberries & Cream Semifreddo was second best imo.

Does not look good from outside and much better upon entering. Short yet attractive menu list. Very nice Slovenian rose wine. Attentive and helpful service – those guys truly do care.

Now this is a fun place to show up in a group to try everything. The portion are perfect for sharing! I would suggest the beef tartare & corn soup. The ramen noodles was definitely my favorite, followed with the scallops. The broken lasagna is another must try. Make sure you leave room from dessert!

Fantastic environment with a great concise menu! The pork chop was phenomenal alone, but out of this world with the garnishments! It was great to meet the friendly staff after I ate.

We came in for our 18th anniversary. Our server ( I can’t remember his name now) but he was awesome! He even got my joke about The Menu (the movie). The ambiance was very chill, I will be coming back soon.

I have no idea why it took me so long to eat here. Skill and artistry on a poetic level. A “top twenty ever” level meal. The pork chop made my heart happy.
