Affäre

"Omg this place was so great! That tar tar with the capers! CHEFS KISS! I also had some kind of meat terrine and the seafood risotto. It was so savory and flavorful... I need a nap, lmao!"

"Lovely night. Really enjoyed all the food and the service was great. They will accommodate vegetarian requests. I only wish I had room to try more. Excited to return."

"Affäre has an immaculate atmosphere and service. Our waiter, Tony, blew our expectations out of the water and made the experience worthwhile. Most of food was incredible, although I wouldn’t recommend the fish in tasting menu or the puy lentil salad. The venison, risotto, and lobster poutine were especially delicious and I would recommend to anyone. The Glühwein was also amazing. If you’re looking for a place with an intimate ambience, great food, and impeccable service, Affäre is the place."

"Don't tell my wife but I'm going to have an affair with Affäre. It was absolutely amazing. I had the venison steak and she had the wild boar. They were flawless, honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. Dessert was fantastic we had the cheese cake and the black forest cake. I'm definitely coming back here, I don't care how much it cost, shut up and take my money."

"This is a quaint, upscale street-side restaurant at the Crossroads in downtown KC. It serves German faire mostly, with some other popular items like the Nebraska Wagyu steak, New Zealand Venison, and a healthy seafood menu. Its not a lot to look at from the outside and is entirely an interior restaurant, but it is well made. Atmosphere: I love the seating options with tables, benches, and couches all available. They take privacy and the ability to hear one another seriously. The tables are not close together and there's a very soothing and conversational ambiance. It does have that rustic downtown setting but with a sleek and professional interior design. Service: The staff did wonderful. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and pitched the product well He took the time to explain the dishes, named in German, and gave us good insight. Great service at the bar as well. Food: the appetizers were great and off the chartuterie board I had the best blue cheese I've ever tasted. A very extensive wine and beer list for those wanting to partake. They are known for their fantastic German reislings. As for the main dish, I was a bit disappointed. The venison steak was good and enjoyable, but not outstanding enough to make the whole dish spectacular. To that end, the sides did the restaurant an injustice. Presented very well, but there wasn't much too special about the "bread pudding", the sauced half-pear, or the broccoli. At that, those dishes range in the 30s and 40s. The Venison steak dish was 44. The Wagyu steak was 75. If we had stopped there, it might drag it down to a 4 star review, but the desserts were amazing. Very well done and delicious. All around a positive experience and barely makes a 5 star in my book based on the whole everything together, but not a full 5 stars in the space it was competing with. I really like the things they did well though, and would be open to giving it another shot."
