We had an absolutely lovely date night. The food was amazing. The ale that is available solely at Pierpont’s was a highlight. And the service was some of the best we have experienced! I wish that I could remember our severs’ name so I could personally praise her. She was delightful and we would return just so we could sit in her section.

We came for my girlfriend’s birthday and had an outstanding experience. The historic castle setting is beautiful inside and out, with great attention to detail, multiple levels, and a warm, elevated atmosphere (plus a nice patio). The food was excellent across the board — the deviled eggs, wedge salad, meatballs, and wagyu were all well executed and flavorful. Everything felt intentional. What really stands out is the personal touch. The owner goes table to table and the entire staff is genuinely attentive and friendly. For the birthday they brought out a flower bouquet with a sparkler and even covered our dessert — a thoughtful gesture that made the night feel special. The wine list is strong and they offer flights if you want to try a few things. Overall, this is one of the better dining experiences in the Kansas City metro. A+ from top to bottom.

What a treat to have a business dinner at 801 Chophouse. We were greeted and seating right away. Our server Sheila G. was such a pro! She's very knowledgeable and attentive. Aside from the obligatory up-selling (which I totally get), the service was flawless and enjoyable. Although I would not recommend the bacon appetizer (it was excessively fatty), the rest of the food was fabulous and on point. Porterhouse was perfect and the sides were outstanding. The prices are not cheap, but it didn't matter much while we ate. Our only regret was not saving room for dessert. The ones that walked past out table looked delicious. Thank you 801!
