Wood-fired dishes built around Midwestern ingredients anchor the menu at this glamorous but unhurried hotel restaurant inside the Hotel Kansas City. The chef's counter puts you close enough to the wood-burning hearth to watch the kitchen work with the quiet focus of people who know what they're doing. The dinner rolls alone, milled from heirloom Kansas wheat, make a case for the bread course. James Beard semifinalist nods have come for both the kitchen and the pastry side.
