Reviews

One of the best restaurants in Kansas City.
If you want to try food that is unique yet flavorful I would recommend this place.
The crispy fried egg appetizer was something we felt truly stood out.
Also, our server Nate made elevated the experience that much more.

This place is tucked away but worth the discovery.
The staff was excellent and went above & beyond to make the dinner special.
Deliciously crafted dishes that tickle your tongue with flavor and texture.
From the appetizers to dessert, Chef Ryan knows what he’s doing and we’re lucky he’s sharing his craft with Kansas City.
Highly recommend.

A solid 3.5/5.
The cocktails, the hamachi crudo, and blue crab tortellini were all incredible.
In fact, I’d put the crudo up for top dish in KC.
The rest? Blasé.
I had the walleye and a taste of the lamb and the pork chop — none of them were remarkable or worth their price.
The walleye was bland and the components don’t complement or contrast it.
The caesar salad was good but it seemed out of place on the menu.
The other main courses didn’t even seem appetizing, so I can’t imagine this menu rotation lasting much longer. The biggest dinger for me with Novel has been the atmosphere.
It feels impersonal and noisy every time.
Novel has so much potential.
With a little warmth, a little space, a little character, and menu that offers both comfort and adventure, I think it’ll be great.
