We couldn’t have said it any better.  Reserve a table today and experience for yourself some of Europe’s finest flavours.

How do we do it?  We start by using many of the finest imported ingredients available then craft dishes like our Braised Short Rib Stroganoff, boneless Beef Short Ribs slowly braised in Marsala, Veal Stock and Tomatoes, then finished with a touch of Cream and Butter, served over a Herb Risotto. Or try our Homemade Maine Lobster Ravioli in a Sherry Tomato Cream Sauce with pieces of Lobster Tail, Jumbo Shrimp, Crab and shaved Parmesan.  

Even our “Lighter Side” Specialties are sure to awaken the senses. Like our Tazmanian King Salmon, a beautiful King Salmon Fillet sautéed in a Champagne Lemon Butter Sauce.   Or try our Grouper Imperial.  A delicious Fresh Florida Grouper Fillet stuffed with Jumbo Lump Crab Meat, or finally try our Veal Saltimbocca, tender Veal Scaloppine pounded thin with Prosciutto and Fresh Sage, topped with Artichoke Hearts and Fontina Cheese served on a bed of Garlic Spinach in a light Shallot Butter Sauce.

But don’t stop there! Along with one of the most robust menus in town, we serve some of Kansas City’s finest fresh prime, center cut, 100% grain fed, dry aged steaks. Nothing could be finer. …try yours "Oscar Style", with one of our famous Lobster, Crab Cakes with Asparagus and Bearnaise Sauce.
