Had a wonderful experience here for restaurant week. Food was outstanding. Joshua our waiter was perfectly attentive. We will definitely return.

Food:

Made reservations weeks in advance for NYE with my husband. Service was so terrible--we kept laughing about how our experiences at Jack Stack and Cheesecake Factory (seriously) were so much better! We were staying at the Raphael for our honeymoon, so it was really strange to experience such an amazing hotel with great staff, and then go down a few floors to dine in such a mess. Spoke to the manager who offered us breakfast coupons and told us they were "overwhelmed with it being NYE". Sorry Raphael, but The Chaz was unfortunately the low point of our Kansas City honeymoon.

**The Raphael knocked $160 off our stay for our unfortunate experience at The Chaz, which we greatly appreciate. The Raphael has a really kind staff--it's just so strange how different The Chaz is in comparison :/

Food:

Romantic setting enhanced with live local jazz music. Incredible food and wait staff was very kind and attentive to every need.

Food:

My top five restaurant in ALL of the midwest. I LOVE this place. Their executive chef was formerly at the Webster HOuse (a few years ago), and brought his menu over. Veal Cheeks and Scallops are my favorites.

We had very high hopes for the Chaz because of all the great reviews we had read. We were also attracted to the whole "live jazz music" aspect as well because it sounded very nice. We went on a Tuesday and decided to get the "Dinner for Two on Tuesday" because it sounded like great value for the food and a bottle of wine. For our Starters I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes that were very good, but they were not green tomatoes but rather red. My boyfriend got the Caesar salad and his salad looked like it had been sitting out on the pass for quite a while, some of his lettuce leaves were wilted and had that brown sickly looking shade to them. The salad itself reminded me of a Big Mac of all things, it tasted exactly like the BM "secret sauce", not good at all. For our Entrees I ordered the Atlantic Salmon with polenta and boiled peanuts, to be completely honest with you as soon as we got our entrees I noticed they looked a bit "lived in", like they had been sitting out for a while just waiting to get picked up, maybe the last person who ordered the salmon didn't want it after all and that's what I got. The only good thing about the Steak Dianne that my boyfriend got was the mashed potato croquette with bleu cheese. The steak itself needed a lot more seasoning and also looked like it had sat out for quite a while before we got our entrees. We obviously weren't expecting super amazing steak because Chaz is not a steakhouse but I mean really. The creme brulee was nothing to write home about, kinda watery and not very creamy but at least it wasn't burnt. I think what was best about the Chaz was the waitstaff, they were very attentive, nice, and professional. The food was edible and that was about it. Maybe we went on an off night, maybe we caught them on their slow night, but we've had many "for Two" dinners in many restaurants and in those restaurants it didn't feel like we were ordering off the value menu, and thus got lower quality food. That is what it felt like at the Chaz. We were expecting so much, it was such a disappointment.
