Perhaps the best Happy Hour I have ever had, definitely in the top three. Our server, Hannah, and the rest of the staff at Ocean Prime KC were amazing. Phenomenal drink specials: Berries and Bubbles is my wife's favorite. I had the Reposoado Paper Plane and several Yuzu Sours. I highly recommend them. The happy hour food specials are amazing, whatever you order. Of particular note, the Smoked Gouda Tater Tots are amazeballs, as is the Hamachi Crudo.

Fantastic experience!! Due to a change of plans, we arrived about an hour early for our reservation on Christmas Eve and they were kind enough to accommodate us right away. I also want to mention that we originally booked a standard table but the high top was even better for the views and ambiance. We sat right in front of the most beautiful mahogany bar and got to watch the bartenders climb up and down the super high ladder. The food was all exceptional but the baked pimento cheese tray was to die for. The fresh baked sourdough bread was also phenomenal. We had mostly seafood and everything was delicious.

Great drinks and quick service. Waitress was attentive. High price point compared to other cocktail bars around town, but still worth it. Only real knock is they seated us 15 minutes past our reservation time.
