The Reef Kansas City steakhouse

Atmosphere was pretty cool, but way short staffed and out of several dishes, including "anything with pasta" and scallops. Mushrooms tasted like gasoline,...

We LOVED this place! The atmosphere was amazing. It was so neat and different than any other place we have been. The food was amazing! The lemon drop martini was the best I have ever had. Highly recommend!

My experience at The Reef was amazing!! Shout out to our waiter, Michael, along with Chef David. The decor, outstanding. The food, I cannot brag about enough. I had co workers see my pictures, and were thirsty for this place I discovered. Food and drink were served quickly, with our first mate Michael constantly checking in. The ambiance was romantic, unlike your every day Long John Silvers. The worst part? Not being able to go every day. I plan to have my half birthday, God Given birthday, dog's birthday, any holiday celebrated at this place, in the Captain's Room of course. 10/10 would recommend.

We went to The Reef soon after it opened a few years ago, well before the pandemic. The food was good, decor was great but the service was not good at all. The owner felt so bad, he comped one of our dinners. So we had not been back until this week. What a difference! Our server Michael was excellent. He was attentive, made us feel welcome and contributed greatly to our wonderful dining experience. We already loved the nautical ambience. Upon a closer look, it was amazing how much of a collector the owner must be to have everything...I mean everything go with the nautical theme. We started with crab cakes which were delicious. Not a bunch of fillers as you often encounter, all yummy crab meat. For mains we ordered trout and salmon. Both were delicious as well as the accompanying garlic potatoes and asparagus. For dessert, cheese cake with strawberry topping that was a wonderful exclamation point for a fine dining experience. We will be going back...probably on a regular basis!

Totally Groovy ChowHall👍 This place could be mistaken for a pirate cove or a museum.. Need more time to inspect the premises, just a Ton of Great Ocean Decor 🐠👋 Swordfish was Outstanding, veggies could have cooked a bit more. Fine line between crispy and undercooked? Staff were decent, just slow considering 20% occupancy. Will be back for another Experience 🏴‍☠️🦜 ✌️

Wow doesn't begin to describe it. The service was extremely pleasant and the food was amazing. I love seafood so I'm always looking for the best. I don't think I've had salmon melt in my mouth like it did here. By far the best clam chowder I've ever had. The chef came out delighted to be open for dine in again after the pandemic. The decor is heavy which I totally love.

great food, great service and great ambiance. found this place because of a layover or missed flight. what a treat please patronize this place. affordable...

We had seen this place online. We went for a birthday dinner. 1st, not a big deal but then don't offer anything for birthday's. The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 is because the decor is pretty cool here, the waiter was also nice. The place was very dark and the booths right next to us looks like they were bing used as break rooms for the employees. Very cluttered. The worst thing... the food. The food wasn't good at all. The reed has no calamari and for being called the reef, it's seafood selection is seriously lacking. I had trout and it was dry and tasted like it had just been doused with large amount of salt.my wife got the chicken and it didn't look very appealing. It wasn't horrible but honestly tasted boiled. The best thing there was the chicken strips my children ordered. This place was a major let down for the price. You also have to pay extra for salad if you want it. Definitely not worth the price. The decor was cool but the food was lacking in a major way.

Excellent Prime Steaks, we are from KC so we have eaten quite a bit of steak. The chef stopped by the table to welcome us. Excellent wait staff, the young...

Had dinner at The Reef. The first thing you notice is the immersive decor. We were quickly seated and ordered our food and drinks. It took a long time for my wife to get her drink from the bar. Our salads came out about a minute before our entrees. I must say my house salad was one of the best I've ever had. We both got the shrimp and scallops. It was amazing. The seafood was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the sauce on the fettuccine couldn't have been better. I just wish I had gotten a little more seafood. 2 shrimp and 2 scallops seemed a little light. My wife ordered a second drink. It didn't arrive at the table until we were ready for the check. Overall it was a delicious meal in an interesting setting, but there was some room for improvement. It also didn't help that we were seated next to a badly over-served guest who was being loud and crude.
