This restaurant is INCREDIBLE. There is no substitute-- amazing cuisine, top-notch cocktails by some of the best in the city. And yes, check the men's room: Al Capone *really did* piss here. :-D
Michael CJuly 2, 2015Fantastic food, service, setting, ambiance. Cocktails and wine list were superb. Beautiful starters that include a pasta course selection. The menu changes as produce is available and seasonally.
Fantastic steaks and adventurous menu. Really enjoy the risotto and creamed kale as well. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and well informed. One of my favorite spots in Kansas City.
SheilaOctober 14, 2016The best food I have had in KC. Great selection of wine. Recommend the charcuterie plate, scallops, and the persimmon pie. Unforgettable experience. Amazing service from Cassie.
Mindy RiOctober 10, 2018The duck breast, sweet potato and brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection and the drinks were smooth. The Trey Bryan paintings give it a nice touch. It was upscale, without feeling pretentious.
Nick BergusMay 25, 2015Creative food, good drinks, relaxed atmosphere. Cocktails are good (with lots of house-made mixers). Try anything rabbit. Even the "safe" menu items are good. Service was OK.
Russell HirschornDecember 14, 2019Just had a drink but the place is awesome with open kitchen and old school feel. Oloroso aged bourbon was really good and the Old Fashion too.
One of my favorite restaurants in the city!!! Sit at the Chef's bar if you get the chance to watch where the magic happens. Order everything! It's all delicious! Service is fantastic!
The bartender on Monday and Wednesday nights is incredible. Tip well and tell him he looks like a young John Travolta. Oh and the pork cheek potpie is mouthwatering. Thank chef Howard Hanna in advance
Theresa O'LearyAugust 10, 2018The restaurant part above Manifesto speakeasy. It has a 1920's-30's vibe to it, and really good food. I recommend it for dinner.
Spencer SorrellDecember 4, 2014The Creamed Kale is exquisite. Brisket with Crispy Oysters delicious as well. As far as cocktails are concerned, give the Horsefeather a try.
Serious EatsJanuary 28, 2014We're big fans of the Smoked Beet Reuben. Think the soul of a Jewish deli reincarnated in Kansas City. (And it's vegetarian!)- Shawn PurvisApril 22, 2015If you are going on a weekend get there early so you can get a spot downstairs at Manifesto for a cocktail. Best bartenders in KC. Excellent food.
The Rieger Pork Soup is the most amazing thing ever. You won't regret a taste of this culinary delight. Also, ask to say hi to Ryan and Howard - the owners are always available to meet their clients
Nash PleasantSeptember 10, 2018One of the best restaurants in KC. Great menu and outstanding cocktails
Katherine M.September 28, 2016"The Rieger is writing a regular love letter to pork. The cocktails are well-balanced and the house made sodas—the ginger ale in particular—are inspired." Read more
Joseph DzialoJanuary 20, 2017Great food, especially the small plates. Great Service. Great bar. Great atmosphere. One of KC's best restaurants.
Best gin and tonic you'll ever taste. The Pendergast is fantastic too. And there's no bad decision on the (seasonally changing) food menu...
Jason KeeneJuly 25, 2011By far the best drinks in town! Sit at the bar and don't plan on leaving for a while! Menu is fantastic and honestly order their nightly specials. Their fixed menu is good but not great however ev Read more- Serious EatsJuly 25, 2014Start with pork soup--a layered concoction of Gruyere, pork confit and chicharron.
- Best restaurant in KC - bar none. Venture out and order a Rieger Gin and Tonic. You won't regret it, regardless if you enjoy a "traditional" G/T...
Neil KanningAugust 9, 2014This is just an overall great experience. Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere.
The steaks are exceptional here. Also try the rabbit and sweetbreads if they are on the menu!
Jenn is the best bartender in the city. Don't know what you want? Tell her what you feel like and she'll make something up.
Wendy AbshireJune 6, 2014Marrow butter on steak! Chilled artichoke soup! Are you kids in' me? Delish!
Ramsey MohsenDecember 30, 2012The rabbit is decent. A good dish (not great). Fun to try given very few places have it.
Leslie K.August 7, 2011Jen is an amazing bartender. Order the Last Word... One of the best cocktails I've had in awhile!
Angela TruesdaleMay 29, 2011Try the Rabbit Pot Pie, the Halibut on special, Sweetbreads, and the Cassoulet. Fantastic service!
- Ramsey MohsenFebruary 19, 2011The chocolate here is damn good. Get the ones that are whiskey filled. For real. Awesome.
trout, whiskey chocolates, and any if the custom drinks are all amazing
Try the Smoked Fennel & Apple Sausage Whole Grain Mustard
