It was fabulous. The atmosphere is an upscale under water theme and fun. The service was absolutely fantastic. Sarah was very attentive and helpful when picking my dinner. I asked which of the 2 selections I should choose and went with her recommendation. It was soooo good. The steak was cooked to perfection which is difficult on 1 oz medallions. You could tell everything was cooked to order. Dad had the special which was salmon and it was very good. The clam chowder had a lot of clams.

All I can say is, wow. This is one of the most unique hidden gems in Kansas City. The food was absolutely stunning. Everything from bacon wrapped scallops, crab cakes, and shrimp cocktails. For an entree, we had cedar planked salmon, swordfish, and chicken alfredo. Such an intimate atmosphere and our host Chris gave us a tour of the restaurant. Look forward to eating in the captains lounge. Please do not overlook this dining experience. Also looking forward to a fathers Day event there live show what!!!!!!

Kansas City natives here. We were looking for something different tonight and found a lovely gem. Came here for our anniversary. Started with a house salad, onion rings and bacon scallops. We had the swordfish and salmon as our main dishes with candied carrots, asparagus and mashed potatoes. The carrots were amazing. The onion rings were fresh and the right amount of light breading. As a personal touch, the chef surprised us with the best crème brûlée we’ve ever had in our lives. Our server, Sara, was super friendly. The atmosphere was fun and I actually loved how it wasn’t super jam packed with people. Our compliments to the chef! We will return.

Slow slow slow….. ridiculously short staffed. We were 1 of 5 tables on a Saturday night and there was only ONE yes ONE waitress, no manager on the floor, and no bartender!

Our waiter Chris was beyond excellent! Can’t thank him enough for the wonderful service and chit chat. (Man deserves a raise)

We went to The Reef soon after it opened a few years ago, well before the pandemic. The food was good, decor was great but the service was not good at all. The owner felt so bad, he comped one of our dinners. So we had not been back until this week.

Our server, Sarah was fantastic! We were seated immediately and brought drinks. Our food was delicious, from the clam chowder, generous portion of salad, to our entrees. The 12 oz prime rib was more like 16 oz. Tender, and cooked to perfection. The trout was also very good. It is a scratch kitchen, so everything is made fresh on the premises.

We had seen this place online. We went for a birthday dinner. 1st, not a big deal but then don’t offer anything for birthday’s. The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 is because the decor is pretty cool here, the waiter was also nice. The place was very dark and the booths right next to us looks like they were bing used as break rooms for the employees. Very cluttered. The worst thing… the food. The food wasn’t good at all. The reed has no calamari and for being called the reef, it’s seafood selection is seriously lacking. I had trout and it was dry and tasted like it had just been doused with large amount of salt.my wife got the chicken and it didn’t look very appealing. It wasn’t horrible but honestly tasted boiled. The best thing there was the chicken strips my children ordered. This place was a major let down for the price. You also have to pay extra for salad if you want it. Definitely not worth the price. The decor was cool but the food was lacking in a major way.

We went here last Saturday, it took the waitress 10 minutes to come get our drink order, it took an hour and 20 minutes from ordering to get our food. Our steaks were extremely over cooked, the only reason food is getting two stars is because of the shrimp cocktail we had, they were huge and fresh.

Had dinner at The Reef. The first thing you notice is the immersive decor. We were quickly seated and ordered our food and drinks. It took a long time for my wife to get her drink from the bar. Our salads came out about a minute before our entrees. I must say my house salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. We both got the shrimp and scallops. It was amazing. The seafood was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the sauce on the fettuccine couldn’t have been better. I just wish I had gotten a little more seafood. 2 shrimp and 2 scallops seemed a little light. My wife ordered a second drink. It didn’t arrive at the table until we were ready for the check. Overall it was a delicious meal in an interesting setting, but there was some room for improvement. It also didn’t help that we were seated next to a badly over-served guest who was being loud and crude.
