Founders' Lounge at the Kauffman Center is the perfect pre-show spot!

The atmosphere is trendy and inviting, with stunning views out the windows. We indulged in the burrata caprese salad - absolutely delicious! While the steak frites could have been more flavorful, the Parmesan fries were a highlight.

The service was top-notch; our bartender was attentive despite being busy. With a lovely selection of cocktails and wines, it’s an enjoyable dining experience. Just keep an eye on those small plate portions! Can’t wait for my next visit before another performance! 🎶
