Set in Kansas City’s historic City Market, Brown and Loe Restaurant’s inviting atmosphere is a blend of “big city” bistro with the welcoming casual flavor of a neighborhood favorite. Housed in a former Merchant’s Bank constructed in 1920, the restaurant honors the architectural details of the two-story building which features a façade of plate glass and verde marble floors and walls. In the 1940’s, Brown and Loe was originally a produce broker with offices on the second floor of the Merchant’s Bank building. The new Brown and Loe Restaurant celebrates the techniques of curing, pickling and smoking meats, beautifully interpreted into marvelous American comfort cuisine. This is a true local venue, evidenced by the restaurant’s allegiance to the resident farmers and food artisans who supply most of the restaurant’s fresh ingredients.

I hadn’t been to Westside Local for brunch in years and I have no idea why I stopped! I had the most amazing pumpkin French toast with cinnamon whipped cream that both I and my toddler loved. Staff was wonderful! Overall, an awesome experience.

My wife and I met up with another couple for drinks in their Christmas pop up bar. The drinks were very good and we enjoyed the creative names and selection. We ordered a charcuterie board and the deviled eggs and they did not disappoint. Stephanie did a very good job taking care of us.

Outstanding service and friendly engagement from the initial greeting through the entire meal all the way to our departure. Paisley was an absolutely wonderful waitress. Great hospitality and insightful suggestions. Unlike other area competitors, the staff acknowledged our special event multiple times. That was not the case with previous anniversary dinners unfortunately spent at other area restaurants. Food was quite good as well.

KC has a lot to offer in restaurants but you won’t find any other like this one! The menu changes every few months and the variety is wide for any taste buds. We love the atmosphere and the presentation of the foods. I can tell the servers like it here too as we often get the same ones for years now.
