Enjoy accomplished New American cuisine while gazing out two-story windows and taking in lovely views of the skyline. Boasting striking decor and excellent food, this elegant eatery has it all. As an introduction to the delicious menu, sample beet and endive salad. Then, tuck into dishes like roasted beef cheese steak with cinnamon-spiced herb cream, duck confit risotto with roasted artichokes,... more

If you try out American, you`ll find a fine dining restaurant that serves patrons a contemporary American cuisine. Expect the average entrée to cost over $30, and patrons for the most part go dressed casual.

What to Drink

The wine list is actually a thick notebook packed with exceptional vintages, especially from California and France.

Where to Sit

brought to you by

Citysearch

When reserving, consider whether you want a table by the window (which offer superb views of the city) or one of the plush semicircular booths on the opposite side of the dining room (the most comfortable and intimate seats).

The small, deco-inspired lounge is a comfortable spot for a premeal cocktail. Live piano music provides the soundtrack.

One of Kansas City's top fine-dining establishments for more than 32 years, this contemporary, high-ceilinged, glass-enclosed restaurant features the best in regional fare (favorite recipes are provided on its website), offers one of the city's most extensive wine lists, and has good views of the downtown skyline. The changing dinner menu offers fixed-price meals with entrees such as grilled... more

I have lived in KC for 7 years and had wanted to go to the American for quite a long time. I made Valentine's Day reservations a full 6 weeks early just to be safe. My disappointment started with the wine list--more bottles than I could count at the $180+ range, several embarrassing bottles in the sub $40 range, and not much in between. We received an excellent recommendation for the Cloe &... more

My wife and I went to the American Restaurant for our 10th anniversary. At first it appeared that we had walked through a time warp and were back in the 80's, as we looked up at the decor. We had also been promised a table by the 30 foot tall windows that show a great view of the town, but ended up at a table in the back. My wife, a Syrah wine lover could not find one on the extensive wine... more

Service was slow to nonexistent, arrogant and fake. I have wanted to experience this Restaurant for may years when I visited KC. There were two of us, we arrived at 7:30 on a Thursday, were seated then after a lengthy wait flaged down the bread waiter for menus, then I actually had to get up to ask someone to send our waiter to take our orders. There were perhaps 10 other customers in the... more
