Beautiful overlook of KC and really well decorated venue. We were here for a wedding, most of the food was good, avoid the chicken though. Service is wanting here however, very difficult to get served basic things and they seemed to be lacking a bunch at the bar. Lemons, limes and most drinks weren't well stocked.
Note: the American still hosts private events that people can buy tickets to go to. You just have to wait until they announce a new event on their social media page (like on Facebook).
The ambiance was amazing. The outdoor patio seating made it comfortable and safe. The J-Love band was amazing and the wine selection. I wish they had a better menu but the food was good. Overall it was a great date night for us!
I was on a business trip on my own and decided to see what The American Restaurant was like. I didn't realize how fancy it was and first thought it was out of my price range. The host was very helpful and suggested the lounge area and menu. They offer small plates in a pick and choose style of ordering. I had the duck egg, sablefish and octopus. All were excellent. The waitstaff were really nice and helpful in choosing my dishes. I highly recommend to experience!
Like other reviewers have said, the food in taste wasn't mind blowing like I was expecting for the price. The view was great, but the waitstaff could have been more uniform. If everyone served the same way it would be one thing. Only one server was 5 star elegant and eloquent. The others were 3 star at best. Otherwise, excellent service, and a great place to take your friends. :)
Visited during a recent large party business trip. The views from the two level dining hall were so elegant, especially during Christmas time. Near the window you could see skaters at the local outdoor ice rink and the bright holiday lights that decorated Crown Plaza. The meal was quite good, although the bread served was burnt on the crust and no one (after 3 asks) seemed to remember to get my hot tea after the meal. A great place for that special holiday meal.
My wife and I had visited the American for our tenth anniversary. The service could not have been any better from the time we had walked in the doors up until the time we left. All of our questions had answers; no, "I don't know, let me check." The view of the city was beautiful, as well. All drinks paired with each course were perfect. My wife and I's food was both better than expected. She order the sea food, I the steak. Our only one issue was taken care of immediately once we had brought it to our waiter's attention. No complaints, can't wait to return!
An elegant dining experience. The food was superb and service was impeccable. The chicken liver mousse was delicious and the scallops delicately seared they just melt in your mouth! Hefty tab at the end of the night but that's what you get for some of the best culinary art.
My wife and I had the pleasure of spending last Saturday evening dining at the American Restaurant. This was perhaps our tenth time there. We had the tasting menu with the wine tasting and can honestly say it was the best food we have ever had there. Chef Corvino outdid himself. From the first appetizer to the last sip of wine everything was perfect. The service was also excellent . This was on May 30th and we can't wait to get back.
The atmosphere was impressive and classic, and service impeccible, if not pretentious. The food had fantastic flavors. We were impressed from the amuse bouche to the bite site treats at the end. Portions however were tiny, even by gourmet restaurant standards - not so much the protein but the side dishes. 3 courses were not enough. The restaurant is a bit hard to find, especially parking in the Crown Center garage. Overall, however, excellent.
