The Standard Pour - Kansas City

First experience at standard pour. enjoy the Valentine's Day Special with wine pair. everything was fantastic, especially the foie gras. will definitely be the next time in kc.

This was my second time to have dinner at the Standard Pour, first experience was excellent; food, service and drinks. Second time at Standard Pour, I invited some friends to join, after enjoying my visit the first time. This experience was by-far one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. We waited nearly an hour, for two, really small appetizer plates and probably another hour before our dinner had showed up. The restaurant was not very crowded for a Friday night, so the slow delivery time for our food didn't seem justified. It also seemed like the food quality was not up to par for a Friday evening meal; the appetizers or entrees. We mentioned to our waiter about our experience and he said he would have the manager come see us. The manager did stop by our table, and he didn't seem to care about our frustrations. Finally, at the end of the night, after initially receiving a bill for our complete meal, the waiter did return with a new ticket, that had the food comped completely. This was just a really disappointing experience, for a patron that lives in the neighborhood, and normally enjoys trying new, locally owned restaurants in Westport. We normally try a local establishment before a chain. The chances are very slim that we will ever return to Standard Pour, let alone recommend it to any of our friends or family.

We took advantage of the special menu available during 2016 Restaurant Week. The filet was so tender you could cut it with a fork and was cooked perfectly! The parsnips were a nice compliment to the filet. My husband loved the special catfish dish which was coated in a crunchy panko nutty breadcrumb that was very light and interesting. Pete Peterman is definitely an asset to this establishment adding his sophisticated culinary expertise as the chef. The only suggestion for improvement would be to offer a bottle of wine that is just a little less pricey I consider $55 for the least expensive wine a little excessive. Although the wine we had was delicious we would have appreciated the option of something at a lower price point.

Bar was quite empty, service was exceptionally slow, food was good, portions were very small for the price.

Very surprised by the bar. The food was outstanding, and very varied. Additionally, their tap line was almost exclusively new, local breweries. The wait staff indicated that one of their goals was to support local breweries, which is awesome. Finally, the whole bar was cool, clean, and fun. They had lots of TVs too (none of them were on on Friday, but I imagine they could be on for a game day), so I feel the place could be very versatile. 10/10, will come back again soon.
